I gather that players feel that the bot settings have been altered (harder), but no one here seems to knows for sure.
The krux is that if/when someone are running bots in conquest-mode it seems like the ai doesnt work like its supposed to, for instance the bots doesnt seem to listen to the radio commands at all and so they can seem to be even more dumber than they normally do,  but at the same time they might get "to good" at aiming perhaps, so if they did change from coop to conquest+bots that might be one reason, or even moving to a more powerful server could perhaps boost the bots in some parts relative to a slower server.

Anyway i have some "conquestbots" in my server too, and some days ago i actually tried to change those settings i posted about in the server console when i was playing in the server, but it didnt change anything at all, or not what i could notice anyway. And i did try both small and extreme values both up and down the scale but still no dice.

Also use renderer.setFullScreen 0

Just tested henk's file and it seems to work aok here atleast.

Also the game is very sensitive about sound settings, the files must be there and in the right spot. A quick way to test for that problem is to "rem" (remark, same as # in linux world) any new sounds when testing.

ObjectTemplate.create HandFireArms MedPack
ObjectTemplate.networkableInfo HandFireArmsInfo
rem - ObjectTemplate.loadSoundScript Sounds/MedPack.ssc  <------- this file is skipped 
ObjectTemplate.itemIndex 5  

If you drop me a link to henks exe, i can try how it behaves on my computer.

Im not sure, i dont have much experience with ai code. But i see similiar settings often in the ai files.

Yes in server-console (you can type command without any values first to get the running settings). Assuming the first command is something like cpu% for the ai, but it should be easy to test out the different command settings by using extreme high/low values as a starting point

   Ai.AiSystemQuotient 0.5
   Ai.SetAISystemComponentsQuotient 9 1

This could be changed ingame by a admin-command (txt-based include command), i havent tested this feature in dept myself, but probably doable to change it for all maps simultaneously  by placing it in some strategic .con file like somewhere in Game.rfa or it could work per map basis should it be desirable with different values/map

Its possible to "cut" a soldiers Parachute with a plane, anyone has a vid of that? I think it helps if one kinda rotate the plane when doing it but not sure as its hard as f to get it right (for me atleast)

I fiddled around with a software called Parsec for a while, but i couldnt get it working satisfactory so i gave up pretty quickly. Was thinking maybe it could be used to host a set of bf42 instances and/or other games.
Check it out on the link below if you are curious.

Well, setting to lower speed basically asks the server to send less data, it could be some visual effects or something of that kind, not really sure. Anyway less data = less chance of packetloss i guess.

shout-out to - Lecter and others that experience bad connections when playing.

I think if setting 56k modem today, you cant spawn if there is many players or to much mods.  Its possible to cap the server bandwidth but it starts to lag if many players or lots of mods. Ivé done it once cus one datacenter i used back then had fixed or limited rates you could use a month, and that company wanted more cash then i had payed for the whole server to add some bandwidth. that was some fugly uckers lol

Same with AMDs software, it works for a while but then just stop functioning, so i have to use the record desktop thingy, and most annoying of all is when i have to alt/tab the game and start the recording then go back to game again.

oh and looking at taskmanager with desktop recording enabled, the "video encode" section is sometime using like 90% depending of resolution used. Very irritating.

There is some difference with running bots in conquest mode versus coop. I had some conversations with henk about this, but dont remember if there was a conclusion/solution. I have very little experience with bot-modding, but i think it would be possible to change some of their decision values, meaning something like "take tank=low" but then they might not use tanks at all in any map, so it would affect gameplay a bit.
