Yeah I kind of had the same issue as well. When I was on 0.41 firmware, it seemed to work as intended with my custom filter. Would try to connect to EU for whatever reason even though i'm on NA West. But I believe the XDefiant themselves have been doing some tweaking with their servers. This is my first time noticing really bad desync and hitreg issues. Maybe I was having hitreg issues at launch and couldn't notice it? Time can only tell
Biggest thing they REALLY need to fix (aside from XDefiant fixing their netcode | servers) is their recoil bug where the crosshair never recenters after letting go of trigger ... it literally just STAYS where the recoil of the gun left off lol

^ It's definitely TOP 3 under "OPEN" issues on their bug reporter thing. Been trying to spread it to as much people as possible so that it at least maintains being on top for them to notice. Because who knows when they'll fix it if ever heh
