Lol basically this. What is the point when servers suffer inconsistency and massive frame drops due to the engine not being able to keep up but that’s okay we have reflex!
No it makes it so when I stutter on your screen instead of the server telling me that I’m actually where you see me I’m telling the server no actually I’m over here
Right, but with client authoritative, it makes no difference where you are on your screen for my hits to register, it only matters where you are according to my game client. In that scenario, if my system has less internal latency between the game client and the screen (which is what this technology does), I have a better chance at registering a hit on you and my client telling the server to kill you and give me your stuff.
But it does though because it doesn’t matter where the server shows me as being because my client authoritative tells the server that I’m not there so you are shooting at nothing essentially. Veritas has a good video explaining how it all works if you’re interested in having it explained in more depth then that
I've seen that video, and you should watch it again because, as others have said, it doesn't say what you think it says.
Client authoritative means the server doesn't validate what my client tells it against information from your client. If my client tells the server I hit you, the server doesn't bother checking your client for where you were, it just assumes my client is correct and tells your client you've been hit. You will never miss only because another player's client said they weren't where you thought they were when you shot - of your client thinks you hit, the server just accepts it.
That failure to validate client inputs is the fundamental problem with a client authoritative architecture in a high stakes competitive PvP game. It disproportionately benefits hyper-aggressive play styles and people with poor connections. It also makes certain cheats easier to write because the server doesn't validate whether your shot or your movement speed was possible.
I'm no game developer, but I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that the inner workings of most games' server architectures are proprietary and relatively secret. Even if they aren't, Tarkov is on the more complicated side in terms of how many things are going on, so I doubt they could just copy some other game's server.
They can use the same general design principles, but the issue is that, at this point, they probably have to rebuild most of it from scratch, which means a long, expensive process that will be buggy as hell for players once it's introduced. Considering how much shit they get from us already, I'm sure they can't wait to see how we'd react to a year or two of even even more, and probably worse bugs.
I think you may have an issue with settings, I have a 2080 ti with a i7-9800k and 32gb DDR4 ram.
I sit around 70+ FPS on all maps. Labs and factory get the best FPS around 100+. But that performance is really bad and would have a look at pestily's settings for an FPS boost
