BFBC2 horrible hit detection

Ok I found out what was causing my horrible hit detection in Battlefield Bad Company 2. So those of you who play the multiplayer and can't seem to kill anyone even though you unload a whole clip into the person, try going into control panel>Network & sharing center> on the left panel click change adapter settings (win 7) or manage network settings (vista), then right click your connection and/or click properties/adapter properties, then under networking tab both "internet protocol version 6 & 4 (TCP/Ipv6 & 4) should both have check marks. Uncheck version 6. Apply by clicking ok, and now try running Pingtest.net and in Battlefield Bad Company 2 you should have a better & more effective hit detection. Let me know how it's worked for you.

Any there any negative consequences due to disabling Ipv6?

Not yet, AFAIK. Will be soon though.

no problem, it's conflicting with Ipv4. I believe it's just something new from microsoft that is on by default, but is not really utilized. This is according to my ISP.



EDIT: I am so enjoying the game now, since before this I could never make much kills because of the awful hit detection.

IPV6 is the replacement for IPV4 that everyone's been clamoring about for the past few years. Basically the world is going to run out of IP addresses (IPv4 is 32-bit, and therefore supports 4 billion devices), so everyone needs to move to IPv6 (128-bit, supports such a large number of devices that I don't know how to express the value). A year ago, they said we would run out in 6 months. Two months ago, they said we would run out in a month (this has been going on for years). Someday we'll actually run out and then everyone will get into Y2K syndrome and actually change over. Until then, everyone's going to continue to pretend nothing's amiss.



Jacob, I also suffer from the "hit detection" problem. I blame it on lag, even though I know it's because of my utter lack of skill.

Good to know, I'll try it out.



IPv6 will sneak up on us sooner than we expect though. It's needed due to the vastly quick expansion of the web, but major changes will need to happen across the board before it's commonplace.

well for now, I'm not having any problems leaving IVP6 unchecked. Infact, I was supposed to go out on a date with my girlfriend, but I cancelled because my hit detection is actually working and give me head shots and kills like never before in Battlefield Bad Company 2, the date can wait for another day. LOL...

You know I thought the same thing, since I live in Hawaii and I can't get any ping below 250, but I can testify to the fact that with this fix, I am now having effective and precise hit detection. It was not a bug on DICE's part or Battlefield Programming. It has to do with the network connection and I posted the fix. I want to post the fix all over the web, in all the forums I've been too that tried to find a solution to this problem and heck, it actually came from my ISP from trying to resolve the lost packets I was having on Pingtest.net.

LOOOL. I wonder what excuse you gave her, because you couldn't have possibly said: "BFBC2's hit detection is working for me now, so I can't make our date today." . Glad you could fix the game for yourself though.
