Meaning of all Red Icons on top right

[ThanksALOTT]

I see a bunch of different red icons on the top right corner when there is some connection issue like packet loss etc. What do those different icons actually mean?

@asukojo @ThanksALOTT  Hey, it's not quite a fulll breakdown, but the studio did make up this handy little chart

I'm no network engineer so I'll just link some general resources on each of these that cover some of the basics of what the icons mean.

Just like Boeing 737 Max, angle of attack disagreement alarm, we must know what the alert means and how the MCAS system work in the background.

We see this red alert a lot during the battle, and we currently guessing what it means since it's not part the manual (patch note) and causing a lot of FATAL ACCIDENTS :

   1. Controller doesn't respond to our command. It like to have it's own mind.

   2. Lagging and glitching like crazy.

   3. Slow motion.

   4. Suddenly we DIE !

Just like Boeing (safety is player top priority), player experience is Respawn top priority, can respawn explain each alarm and how it works in the patch release?

Thanks

Guess what!? Check CONNECTION TROUBLESHOOTING on the EA website

Awesome! Thanks. In relation to other posts regarding lag after update, I'm seeing packet loss icon ALL THE TIME during a match. Atleast, we have confirmed that the issue is packet loss after all!

Wouldn't have latency issues if the matching making connected us to our requested servers........

Prediction error is the most interesting one, you guys should read it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Client-side_prediction

I see it a lot during my battle with enemy :  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y-EgdE4YcFA   (appears around 6 times, on every actions)

I want to turn it off and they didn't add any field in the settings to turn it off. I'd assume the gameplay settings should have this field, but I have not found it in any area in settings.  Really thoughtless move on the devs part to add this without the ability to turn off like other devs allow for in other games like overwatch and rocket league for instance.
