Battlefield 1 and Hit Detection

Greetings all, I just received a new AW 15r3 with the I7-6700 and the 1060. 256 ssd, 16gb ram and some other stuff. BF is installed on the SSD. Anyway its fantastic gaming at ultra in over 60fps. Just amazing. I noticed right away my hit detection went down the crapper.. i mean in a terrible way. So i started messing with settings. Nothing was overheating or anything like that. HWinfo showed my stuff all under 90c and the gpu under 62c. No issues.. but i noticed something. I had physx set to Auto. So i changed it to CPU and the hit detection stayed horrid. Then i assigned it to the GPU and my hit detection became much much better.

So here is my theory. Is it possible the I7-6700qh is actually not powerful enough to to play BF1 without issues? Technically i thought the min cpu speed was 3.5ghz per core (i5). Even with 8 threads, maybe its not enough? Any other experiences with this ? Thanks for any input. I love the game but my hit detection seemed a lot better on my 2014 AW17 with the 860 without manually selecting the GPU as assigned for physx.

 

Hit detection is tied to the game engine and net code. Your ping would have an influence too and ultimately be tied to the server tick rate.
I don't know much about BF1 but it's likely different servers may have different tick rates. ie. Higher tick rate having more accurate hit detection/less rubber banding.

Maybe someone else can jump in and give you a solution, but for now you're looking in the wrong places. Your hardware is fine.

 

I agree with the above. It's unlikely to be a hardware issue. You may try reinstalling your network adapter driver (or updating it), but it's most likely related to the game.

 

Welcome to BF1. It is the game, not your hardware. That's the way BF games roll. 50% random network connection favoritism, 25% OP upgraded weapon, 10% ping, 10% luck, 5% skill.

 

@Lancer91 Battlefield games traditionally has atrocious hit detection - the very reason I gave up on them, eventually. For competitive gameplay, you generally lower your graphics settings, not push them to the limit - because higher graphics settings introduce additional details, more particles, disturbing visual effects that negatively impact visibility, and thus, gameplay. I also suggest to check your network card, maybe it doesn't do well with your router for some reason.

 

I did some additional network optimizations (disable nagling) and additional window 10 optimizations and its a little better. Still not perfect but better. Battlefields haven't always been bad. My old optimizations for the M11x back in the day in BFBC2 used to get me over 30 fps and my K/D was pretty decent. stevenxowens792...

Thanks for all the responses.

 

Your CPU is more than powerful enough for BF1 or other games.
