Re: Good news, my friends!

There is no internet connection in SP, so how can it be net code involved?!

Its design. Bf2 is made from two main modules: client and server. When creating local game bf2 is creating server on local loopback (127.0.0.1), howewer when map is loading you see your public IP (of course if you are not behind NAT). Thats why I think there is always net code involved.

Me too, but on the other hand, why all the other players with good connections have to suffer because of a minority of players with lower net connections?

Hope they dont screw this up...

Re: Good news, my friends!

Hit detection actually seemed worse for me in BETA 1 (haven't tried 2) although in terms of fps and smoothness and stuff there was huge improvements for me in BETA 1. From what i've been reading they are focusing on optimization (no crashes, runs smooth etc..) and i haven't seen them say they are trying to fix the netcode?

Re: Good news, my friends!

what If Battlefield 2 didn't record the time of our every single weapons,vechicles we use...just show the things we use the most...can the game go much smoother?

Re: Good news, my friends!

Yeah get rid of stupid stats that the server has to follow like uh How many time I spent with weapons.. Sorry for the peopel that do care but I don't if the remove some stats that (If the server would run smoother by it? ) then imo they can delete some stats..

Ah man I would love to have a smooth running BF2 and more increase in FPS in the next patch not the other way around..

Re: Good news, my friends!

Does the net code cause the game to run choppy compared to singleplayer or is it because of the map sizes?

Re: Good news, my friends!

Hope it works..
Would help a lot!

Re: Good news, my friends!

would it have anything to do with dying when you stand on a moving object, because I would really like that to be fixed

Yeah for sure and when there is a car not moving and u get stuck besides it and then u die.

Re: Good news, my friends!

In the light of the latest events, seeing the changes on 1.4 servers, I suspect everyone is thinking 'OMG, they are ruining the game! Why they keep doing more mistakes?'
But I have a feeling we are not seeing the bigger picture.
They are finally addressing their nemesis: the net code.
From the beginning, this was the Achilles' heel of this game.
But first, we need to understand the role of this net code.
In single player, the server is installed on player's computer and everything is happening on the same computer. There is no net code.
In multiplayer, the server is in charge of all the events that take place in the game. A player needs to connect to the server as a client. There are all sorts of events that are passed from server to client and vice versa. This communication is taken care of by the net code.
So there you have it, this communication needs to be perfect. If not, all sorts of things are going to go wrong.
Let's say a player shoots his AT rocket. He is sending to the server this information and the server has the job to track the rocket to the target and afterwards to send back feedback about the hit (and of course, to instruct the target to take damage, in case of a hit). Now let's suppose we have a bad link somewhere. Let's say that the info sent by the player doesn't reach the server. What do we have? The rocket bug!
If we think about it, most if not all the bugs we have seen until now are due to this bad net code.
Another example: the medic bug. He is holding the med kit, so is able to heal around. Then he changes to his paddles. The server doesn't receive this info, he thinks the medic is still carrying the med kit, so he sent back commands to heal people around him. At the same time, the medic is able to revive people, which is a separate command and doesn't interfere with the healing process.
There are a lot of other examples I could give, but I'm sure you can figure them out for yourselves.
A perfect net code means no bugs. Is as simple as that.
Therefore we should be happy about what is happening.
Net code is changing. The usual information sent by a player (like prone, or firing a weapon) is not understand by the server anymore. We'll have to wait for a client beta 3, to be able to test the new server's net code.
I hope I'm not mistaken, again… :)

Colin said that it would take weeks if not months to fix that. In addition he said that the patch would address optimizations and the crashing issues above anything else.

Re: Good news, my friends!

BF2 has got to have the worst netcode i have seen in an FPS game for the pc.

Re: Good news, my friends!

Yeah, I've had that a few times...makes me wonder if I would appear as a target to friendly AA.

you do i got kicked because when i was firing at a j-10 my missles got locked onto a full blackhawk because the pilot had the red bug. i got a perm ban ecause of that bug.
