[limpid cipher]

I'm just an average OG player 1943 BC BC2 BF3 didn't play 4 much as I keep on BF3

[undone crypt]

yall can do this in the next few days, its not gonna affect chances

[twilit coyote]

oh no, im not very adamant about getting into the front on the que.
and when push comes to shove, these people just want to be one of the first ones.
you can't really blame them just saying

[magic hollow]

Are r getting dedicated servers back, or is the agenda to still treat apart community

[manic gate]

first ones in what?

But I guess people see a queue and think they must be first and that will affect them somehow, when it won't

https://tenor.com/view/michael-scott-the-office-monkeysee-gif-21684722

[visual shell]

missed my place in line and now i gotta wait for 300 thousand people 😂 im good

[twilit coyote]

so you're saying that this que is bullshit and a facade?

[undone crypt]

then consider me more first. signed up before the annoucement

[novel compass]

Sorta confused, registered HOURS ago, never even got a queue, just a "thanks for doing that"

[manic gate]

Yeah it won't give you any priority. Their servers are just being overloaded so they put in a queue system lol.

[sacred yarrow]

site prob got flooded when news spread

[twilit coyote]

ohhhhh i see, that explains the recent errors

someone pin that

[lofty steeple]

"Congratulations, your registration for Battlefield Labs is complete!"

[twilit coyote]

yaaayy

[lofty steeple]

Jesus. just completing survey

[cerulean beacon]

literally

[novel compass]

You guys got an email for registering for the labs or nah

Cause I've been waiting 6hours

[ionic tundra]

nah

[novel compass]

Ah cool

[worldly turret]

you don't get a email

[novel compass]

The queue thing though, never got it

[ionic tundra]

same idk why everyone saying there's a queue

[neon furnace]

Who else is a tincy bit cut that its noy in oce yet

[worldly turret]

probably cause there is a queue

[ionic tundra]

k

[twilit coyote]

yeah, i think its how it works in the following;

Since their servers on the website are being overloaded they put up a queue system for a survey that is for getting registered into a pre-alpha game which will be more overloaded than the websites servers.

[viral pollen]

There is no confirmation email when signing up. If you are selected, you will receive an email from [e-mail], with more details about getting ready to play and how to share feedback

[cerulean beacon]

"Mind that queue...
We're thrilled to see so many of you signing up for Battlefield Labs!
You may encounter a queue while finalizing the sign-up process on our website, so please bear with us as we work to get everyone registered.
Your position in the registration queue does not affect your chances of being invited."

for everyone wondering about the queue

[summer helm]

Any clue when the queue will be taken off entirely because the demand dies down?

[twilit coyote]

ah alr

[cerulean beacon]

no clue. that post is traight out of the battle fields labs news tab on here.

[twilit coyote]

i really don't care about getting registered anymore, its just a yes or no and i'll be back doing my grinding streams.

[golden gazelle]

any of u guys get invited? i did and it sent me back to a queue

[winter dagger]

Anyone else not get a confirmation email?

[cerulean beacon]

you only get emails for invites to playtest

[viral pollen]

There is no confirmation email when signing up. If you are selected, you will receive an email from [e-mail], with more details about getting ready to play and how to share feedback

[opal beacon]

Still 218k people ahead of me sheesh

[golden gazelle]

i been in queue at 150k at 2pm est lol

[twilit coyote]

lucky you, you get to wait until tomorrow fyi

[golden gazelle]

im now at 30k

[boreal geyser]

[opal beacon]

I saw the trailer 6 hours after it had come out, I was late to the party

Didn't think EA planned to listen to the community on bf ever

[worldly turret]

hey no fair when i said that i got timed out for 24 hours

[golden gazelle]

i wonder when playtesting will be

[winter dagger]

Thank you! Aside from the survey, are there any other ways to increase the likelihood of being selected?

[golden gazelle]

no, its random

[opal beacon]

If there was, everyone would do it and then your chances would still be the same

[viral pollen]

I'm sorry, I was the one who unmuted you. The email in your message triggered our auto-mod which should now be fixed

[worldly turret]

all good 😂

[smoky notch]

Where do I sign up for the testing, I’m a bit confused

[golden gazelle]

they tweeted out that no matter what queue position u are in, you still have the same chance as someone who was one of the first to sign up

[winter dagger]

True. Just with 100k+ people signing up, it's pertient they pick people who are passionate and experienced with BF. Not Fortnite type players

[twilit coyote]

battlefield.com/labs

[viral pollen]

https://www.ea.com/games/battlefield/battlefield-labs

[golden gazelle]

i already got invited, i signed up and everything the it put me back in the queue haha

[steel obsidian]

already invites going out?

[golden gazelle]

yes

[opal beacon]

That's reasonable, but there's no way to avoid that unless they choose people with like high stats from previous games (which wouldn't be fair to the whole random process)

[golden gazelle]

but just cause you didnt get one yet doesnt mean u wont get one tho

[steel obsidian]

what did the email say

[worldly turret]

is there anyway you can tell how many people signed up for the test or is that all under wraps? 👀

[opal beacon]

The BF franchise did really well with BF3, BF4 and BF1 (imo) so it's not like they need us to make a great game. If there isn't a large amount of hard core battlefield veterans in the playtest making suggestions I don't think it will hurt the game that much

Either it's great when it comes out or its not

Feedback usually doesn't change things that significantly

[golden gazelle]

it was an email from playtesting ea and it basically told me to finish setting up my playtest profile

if they make bf1 emersion and bf 2/3/4 style, ill be stoked

[steel obsidian]

cause when i signed up, i didnt go through a queue and at the end of the surveys it said "Thanks for registering, well send invites via email, keep an eye on those inboxes:

does that mean im good?

[low kite]

For play testing??

[golden gazelle]

yeah i got that then got sent another email 30 minutes later

[golden gazelle]

yes

[low kite]

Just an email though

Play test is later down road?

[golden gazelle]

yes, not atm

in the coming weeks

[steel obsidian]

the email should of given you more details on the playtest itself

thats what they said the invite emails do

[low kite]

Thank you, I'm catching on now haha

Bro this is kinda sick!! Grandpa gaming might be in there ☠️

[novel compass]

Oop, sorry, I guess I misread, thought I saw something about a confirmation that I signed up or something, apologies

[low kite]

Along with a lot of other straight shooters

[worldly turret]

i hope so i haven't seen him on battlefield in a little while mostly just delta force

[cloud flame]

Was curious as to how big the queue is right now and god damn its up to 240k

[slow apex]

I accidentally refreshed the playtesting website on my phone and now I am queuing again xD but I completed the BF labs playtest sign up earlier. This does not affect my already completed sign up though?

[steel obsidian]

im at 90k

no idea how long itll actually take me

[glacial dove]

Yeah I got an email saying “Welcome to playtesting. Action required” and it literally sticks me back in the queue

[cloud flame]

I joined shortly after the announcement was made and was 30k in line. Took about 2-3 hours for me to get to the page

[steel obsidian]

but i already did all the stuff and was told to keep an eye on my email and that i was registered

[worldly turret]

i think thats just you signing up for ea playtesting and you needing to fully setup your account

[cloud flame]

I luckily already had an EA playtesting account so that saved me a lot of pain

[low kite]

My phone was at 1%

☠️

[steel obsidian]

yeah everyone that has received an email was sent that

[low kite]

I made it though

[glacial dove]

Yeah I thought so but the sign in site is also constantly freezing

[jagged hare]

Been waiting for 9h, started at 179k, now at 40k. My queue spot will be in the middle of the night 💀

[worldly turret]

gotta stay awake

[low kite]

We believe in you Duke!

[cerulean lava]

im 218676 in queue, was at 260k when i joined the queue 3 hours ago

[worldly turret]

yea queue times be rough

[low kite]

I'm afraid it's gonna go when it's 3 it's currently 8:56pm

[glacial dove]

https://tenor.com/view/screaming-mad-fish-sponge-bob-angry-gif-12369198217513035864

Got my survey in

[cerulean lava]

I'd like to see some battlefield 2 maps revitalised

[steel obsidian]

so if im already able to access the page where is shows me my playtests and playtests available, am i good?

[high sierra]

dang i was so excite to play in this. i didnt have ti wait in queue or anything just signed up. i havent gotten an email tho. :(((((

[steel obsidian]

me either, completed the survey about 3 hours ago

[low kite]

I just want the fluid mechanics of characters n weapons. Like bf1

Feels more immersive

[unreal jacinth]

Hello everyone, please refresh the page a few more times

[low kite]

I did

[unreal jacinth]

more and more

[low kite]

Ok ok ok

[unreal jacinth]

only way

[worldly turret]

i bet the animations and stuff are gonna feel janky for now cause its a early test

[unreal jacinth]

create new page

dont let the link go

[worldly turret]

i've been signed up since 10 am i can't

[low kite]

I'm meaning in final launch game

[worldly turret]

i hope

[high sierra]

it sucks i guess im not what they were looking for which sucks. ive played every battlefield since 3 and 4 like crazy

[steel obsidian]

i already clicked the battlefield labs playtest and did that survey, after i finished the playtest disappeared from the available playtests and i received a message saying to keep an eye on my inbox for invites

[cerulean lava]

maybe im what they're looking for I started on BF1942

[high sierra]

i got that too

[steel obsidian]

im just assuming that means im good to go

[low kite]

Actual gameplay tests will come in coming weeks 🙂

This was just sign up

[steel obsidian]

i know that i just feel like i didnt do it right but idk

probably just overthinking

[high sierra]

yeah but people are getting emails already

prolly just stressing for no reason but oh well

[low kite]

From across the world, different time zones

[steel obsidian]

thats why im overthinking it

[worldly turret]

no most people getting emails are for their ea playtest account or just lying

[steel obsidian]

thats what ive been told so ill just stop worrying lol i havent gotten an email to finish my playtest profile

[low kite]

Patience is a virtue

[low kite]

You got further than me

[high sierra]

well i asked the Hope guy and he just said no to my question. it literally couldve meant i can still be selected or that no i wont be

[steel obsidian]

the weird thing is, if i do the steps the right way, it makes me go through the queue

[high sierra]

he didnt clarify but imma just play titanfall and hope for the best

and yeah i didnt have to go through the queue when i did it either, but when i first tried to go back and look it put me in it

[vital cobalt]

To everyone, waited for 6/8 hours (270k queue), just now I closed entirely google with the tab for the queue, not a problem cause you're not quiting. Then reconnect to Battlefield Labs and I got access in the questions to register the program + survey to increase chances !! I was 45k queue still !!

Try to close everything and reconnect

Might be EA stopped that stupid queue due to the traffic that was insane

Got access to register and survey but I was 45k still to wait

[low kite]

Prove it

[vital cobalt]

Might be a bug but I really dont think you can skip queue by close and reopen google + BF Labs

[worldly turret]

give it till tomorrow i bet queue will either be gone or is alot lower than 285k they said everyone will have a chance to sign up

[vital cobalt]

Cant but I did register + survey when I was 45k queue left

[honest wharf]

1-) Don't trust anyone

[halcyon spoke]

wait it works

[low kite]

I figured if I can't play the test, I'll play the game when it comes out

[halcyon spoke]

Le V is right and it runs better than earlier wtf

[worldly turret]

fair enough

[vital cobalt]

By closing Google and tab with queue, you are not quiting the queue bro

So give it a try

[vital cobalt]

lmao lets gooooooo

Might be EA who realize that there is too much people, a queue like that is cleary dumb, people got families, work, 10h+ queue with only 15mins to respond... Cmon you might sleep or AFK when its your turn, no sense

[dense creek]

Bro I just got home from work there is no WAY there are THREE HUNDRED THOUSAND people in queue still

[unreal jacinth]

[dense creek]

I was at 15k but I couldn't access it because I had to go to work and I had no time to stay

I'm so pissed

[high sierra]

there were more like 4 hrs ago when i did it. i clicked on a link to labs from an add on likr game rant or something and skipped it entirely

[unreal jacinth]

Perhaps someone makes a living from this

[vital cobalt]

To everyone, waited for 6/8 hours (270k queue), just now I closed entirely google with the tab for the queue, not a problem cause you're not quiting. Then reconnect to Battlefield Labs and I got access in the questions to register the program + survey to increase chances !! I was 45k queue still !!
Try to close everything and reconnect
Might be EA stopped that stupid queue due to the traffic that was insane$
Got access to register and survey but I was 45k still to wait

[worldly turret]

honestly i bet some people have gotten paid to sign other people in and do the survey

[pseudo heart]

???

[high sierra]

yeah probably, people keep saying theyre getting emails in the other chat but idk

[worldly turret]

what?

[high sierra]

faker that fake would be my guess

[vital cobalt]

Please can some dudes here can try what I said up here ? And tell me if its working

Try to know if I got lucky or actually working

Cause you can skip queue if yes

Dont worry, close everything cant cancel your queue

[unreal jacinth]

Peppa's mother once said that the best rule is to queue up

[vital cobalt]

I got access, registered and did the survey to increase chances but I was 45k left in queue so..

[molten notch]

Has the site come back to life?

[vernal pivot]

i bet theyll select current EA users b4 new accounts , just a guess though

[worldly turret]

nah they said they are doing vets and new people

[low kite]

No doubt

Where were y'all at when I was looking for squad 😂

[jagged hare]

I was able to bypass the queue as well, not sure how but suddenly it worked

[vital cobalt]

Told you all

Close everything and reconnect

[jagged hare]

Try this link a couple of times in new tabs http://go.ea.com/bflabs

[serene shell]

I have a question, when will the test itself begin? Or hasn't anyone said anything about it yet?

[vital cobalt]

They have updated the site, so might canceled the queue. Just close everything and reconnect. Was able to registered and survey after I was 45k queue left

[weary stump]

Bf6

[marble anvil]

GG

[jagged hare]

Not sure if I just created a playtest acct though 🤔

[vital cobalt]

I have to go, Its late I was waiting to register, didnt want to miss it. So pass the word to those who'll come

Queue isnt there anymore

Just log in again

[weak hollow]

Wonder if I will get in sooner or thru EA playtester program. I been in that for like 10 years

Remember the first PvZ play test for Xbox one.

[upbeat halo]

I was able to register but the playtesting tab for Battlefield Labs disappeared in the actual EA playtesting site so no clue

And after I registered there was no queue, interesting

[halcyon spoke]

same

[jagged hare]

There was a tab?

[upbeat halo]

Can't show it in a screenshot here but pretty much where it said "PLAYTESTS AVAILABLE' it was there, but now it's not

[astral sedge]

Hi Guys Lesgooo!💪

[upbeat halo]

So maybe they closed the queue and now just accept registrations

[livid tangle]

im in the playtest tab

[weak hollow]

Oh yea forget the queue. I just insta signed up thru playtester log in and did the survey

[upbeat halo]

Same here! When I tried to register earlier it was through the EA Playtesting thing but now it just immediately puts you through the survey on the battlefield site

[weak hollow]

Was there and worked for me just now

[upbeat halo]

Either way I'm registered now, FINALLY

[crystal plume]

How do people see the queue?

[upbeat halo]

Thats the part I think they stopped doing? I wasn't put into any queue after registering, not one I could see anyway

Either way, exciting stuff. Reminds me of the BF4 CTE stuff they did back in the day

[odd agate]

Yeah I just registered, even though it still says I have >78k people in line in front of me.

[crystal plume]

What line

[upbeat halo]

You got a queue after signing up right now?

[weak hollow]

I would love just a BF2 Modern Combat remake. They peaked then

Best bloom system I've ever seen in a game

[upbeat halo]

I feel like the only one who hopes they keep the gunplay and movement of Battlefield 5, say whatever you want about the maps or launch but right now BFV is easily the best and my favorite Battlefield experience

[snow lantern]

I hope this comes to Australia at some point

[odd agate]

At first, it put me in a queue. I'm still in it, but opened up the link again in a different tab and it took me right to the regisration survey. Now it says to keep an eye out for potential email.

[upbeat halo]

The gunplay in BFV hits so hard, and the movement is so fluid.. So sad they ditched everything great about BFV when working on 2042, hope we see some of 5's systems return

[crystal plume]

where tf are people seeing a queue im actually about to crash out

[upbeat halo]

dw, I think its just registering with an email now, anybody signing up now is just getting a 'you have registered' notification and not any queues

as far as I know

[crystal plume]

oh ok

[odd agate]

I think the queue was just there to handle the initial flux of tons of people trying to access the site

Now that it died down a bit, it was removed. Maybe???

[upbeat halo]

I think so, if you finish the survey then you've registered, so dw

just no long "250,385th in queue' screen for you haha

[odd agate]

Yeahhh

I'm still gonna wait out the queue to see what happens lol. It says I'm 77,308rd in line. It's progressing, too.

[steel obsidian]

the queue is still there for me, but i already did the survey so

[odd agate]

same

[crystal plume]

So queue's for those who haven't signed up for it yet

[upper bay]

yeah

my queue will end in 12 hours

after 6 crashes 😄

[sonic wind]

I need my old xEAx crew back

[tight solar]

veteran BF player kindly lock me in for BF labs

[main plaza]

i honestly cant tell if im registered or not

[marble anvil]

哪个地区开放了呢

[magic jacinth]

nothing like brute forcing your way through the Q

[viral pollen]

English only, please

But to answer your question, the invite for the first tests will be for Europe and North America.

We do have plans to expand server locations, in the future.

[maiden moon]

It's available on Canada

[high plume]

🤣 这不是中文频道，只能说英语

[shadow zephyr]

I'm already in the queue but on a different tab i just went thru the site again tried sign in and i got a survey? is that it?

[dapper spire]

use English thank

[cedar flax]

There’s a queue of 285,000 for me

[stiff peak]

25429 for me

[cedar flax]

Lucky

I gave up

[pure kernel]

There's a queue to sign up? I never had a queue lol

[cedar flax]

Yup

[fierce otter]

Are we to assume the first tests for those who applied today and are selected to begin in a few months or a little sooner? Like weeks? Just curious if there's any info regarding today's sign ups and when invites and rest will start up.

[stiff peak]

tried us yesterday and came in to answer questions but then I couldn't get on

[cedar flax]

All today

[magic jacinth]

yea, to keep the web page from crashing all togeather

[cedar flax]

Ya I tired yesterday wait at 20,000 queue got in won’t let me do my survey then back to a 100,000 queue so stupid

[stiff peak]

yea samme here

[viral pollen]

Your position in the registration queue does not affect your chances of being invited as it is not first come first serve. The only information that I can provide regarding when playtests will begin will be in here https://www.ea.com/games/battlefield/faq

[marble anvil]

How many people are queuing up to make an appointment now?

[cedar flax]

Just wondering when the queue will be over?

[viral pollen]

Likely when there isn't such a large number of people trying to sign up

It will calm down, and you do have time to sign up, so don't stress about it

[sharp spindle]

If you followed the steps and received the final confirmation message on the website, then you are registered, simple as that. I understand being confused because we didn't receive a confirmation email as usual. The only concern we should have is that this new Battlefield delivers what we, old fans of the franchise, have always dreamed of having back. The true Battlefield experience.

[shadow zephyr]

"Thank you for registering" ?

[cedar flax]

Ok thanks been playing bf since battlefield 1942 on windows 98

[magic jacinth]

If i were to guess, they may pick in order of necessity first. So like people who regularly participate in playtests may get picked first.

[fierce otter]

Thank you, I understand that when we apply doesn't affect it. I suppose I'm just excited for when said tests begin, even if I'm not picked. My last test style experience was the bf1 alpha on Xbox lol Such a cool time.

[sharp spindle]

"Congratulations, your registration for Battlefield Labs is complete!"

[stiff peak]

do we have any idea when the new BF will be released? is it the end of the year?

[viral pollen]

Hahaha, I'm excited as well!

[sharp spindle]

They haven't announced it yet. But I believe it will be at the end of the year. I would guess October or November.

[ripe comet]

Who else remembers hearing this gem while waiting for Metro to finish loading? 🥹 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H10jTw8mdas

[sharp spindle]

I keep so many memories...

[main plaza]

okay, it did say Registered with that background thinging on the website was just confused

[sharp spindle]

If at any point you read this message on the website, "Congratulations, your registration for Battlefield Labs is complete!" Then take a deep breath, relax, and have a cigarette.

[grizzled brook]

Number of users in line ahead of you: 286,038
Seems like I was a bit late to the party huh

[sand pawn]

Where's the sign up?

[viral pollen]

https://www.ea.com/games/battlefield/battlefield-labs

[sand pawn]

Thank you!

[sand pawn]

If I already applied to EAs early testing experience does that make any difference?

[viral pollen]

I would apply to Labs as well

It will register your interest

[twilit coyote]

i never really had a proper playthrough of BF3, but BF4 is half of my gaming childhood

[sand pawn]

Appreciate it thank you

[twilit coyote]

i've been playing BF4 for over a decade

[fierce otter]

I hate to ping you over questions that may not have answers yet, but do you have any idea if console tests will eventually test cross play with console only? I love having a bigger player pool but for reasons I know a lot of console players would love an option for console specific cross play.

[viral pollen]

Unfortunately, all that is on our FAQ is the information we currently have. However, we will have more to share in due time 😄

[worldly turret]

is that you saying the invites haven't been sent out yet?

[fierce otter]

Again thank you a ton for the response. This time with game reveals is always a good test of patience. Lol Albeit a rough time.

[stiff peak]

59 min back 😄

[viral pollen]

Just what regions we're supporting at the moment for playtesting

[zinc phoenix]

285,887 on Queue It, RIP, i'll finally be able to sign up by the time the game launches ayy lmao

[worldly turret]

ah anyways what did you eat for dinner i saw your status

[viral pollen]

Chipotle! Yourself?

[grizzled brook]

Is there information on when we should register by? I might wait until the que cools down

[worldly turret]

made some buffalo chicken with a garlic parm butter for a little extra flavor

[viral pollen]

You have time 😄

[viral pollen]

Ooo, sounds amazing

[fierce otter]

Also, does anyone know if Portal was genuinely confirmed to be returning from 2042? I seen a video from someone saying Dice confirmed it to them? Is this public knowledge from EA or Dice themselves rn?

[sharp spindle]

I really feel sorry for those players who didn't get the chance to fully immerse themselves in the BF3 era. I played a lot of BF4 as well, but BF3 holds a special place in my heart forever.

[sand pawn]

BF3 was the GOAT game

[twilit coyote]

we all have different types of nostalgia, respectfully.

[trim junco]

after they fixed the buggy launch haha

[sharp spindle]

For sure. And I respect that

[sand pawn]

Whatever that game still kicked every other game existing in terms of destruction, graphics and the map scale

[trim junco]

true i loved bf3

[sand pawn]

Caspian Border Metro and Noshahr Canals was giga

[sand pawn]

And ofc many other maps

[trim junco]

metro was only good on smaller servers

hatewd the clusterfuck channels on full servers

[zinc phoenix]

I just wetnt o my EA account and did the survey in the EA Playtesting section. It had the Battlefield Labs option in it.

[sand pawn]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=emGXp-qRrVg

[trim junco]

honestly just damavand peak 24/7

[sharp spindle]

Operation Firestorm, Seine Crossing were also memorable. The maps that came with the expansions pack too

[zinc phoenix]

good ol Caspian Border days

[sand pawn]

nah gulf of oman 😉

[maiden bolt]

Operation locker Stockholm syndrome

[fierce otter]

Was battlefield 4s levelution or whatever it's spelt popular? I'm mainly asking because I liked it myself but a lot of people I've seen didn't like the gimmick of altering maps in huge ways.

[lunar sphinx]

Was participation in this test determined by a selection process?

[sharp spindle]

Rush mode in Damavand Peak is one of the most "absolute cinema" moments of all time.

[lunar sphinx]

How can I know if I have been selected?

[rancid trellis]

Can you tell me when the first testing is planned?

[fierce otter]

I believe you get emailed to your ea accounts email, and invites aren't first come first serve so everyone has equal chance of being invited.

[lunar sphinx]

Did you receive the email?

[fierce otter]

Also this isn't known yet. I'm assuming in the coming months.

[harsh wedge]

my friend got a survey and said he will get an email for a play test. i got entered in a queue of 250000 people waiting to gain access. We both clicked the same link. What gives?

[fierce otter]

Not yet, I'd expect invites to go out in a few weeks or 2-3 months. I'm not sure when testing starts but I'm excited as heck. Lol

[lunar sphinx]

I’m confused because I got in without having to wait in a queue.

[lunar sphinx]

too

I want to play it right now.

[harsh wedge]

heres what it said when i went to log into ea

You are now in line
You are in line for EA. When it is your turn, you will have 15 minutes to enter the website.
What is this?
Number of users in line ahead of you: 285248
Your estimated wait time is: more than an hour

[lunar sphinx]

may u can try vpn

I initially had to wait in a queue too, but after switching locations with a VPN a few times, I was able to get in directly.

[harsh wedge]

thanks

[lunar sphinx]

👍

[high plume]

I have submitted the form

[harsh wedge]

That worked on the second location. Thanks

[lunar sphinx]

I hope you all can play it soon.

So, a VPN can actually let you cut in line? Then what's the point of EA setting up this queue?

[harsh wedge]

Stupid

lol it's not letting me answer one of the questions on the survey now

i click the next button and it does nothing

[lunar sphinx]

Perhaps there's a bug that allows all 200,000 of us to play simultaneously.

[lunar sphinx]

Have you turned on the VPN? It might be slower, so please be patient and wait.

I remember the minimum requirement was a RTX2060.

[stiff peak]

PC Minimum Specs:
CPU: Intel Core i5-8400 / AMD Ryzen 5 2600
GPU: Nvidia RTX 2060 / AMD Radeon RX 5600 XT 6GB
Memory: 16GB
Storage: Minimum 30GB
PC Recommended Specs:
CPU: Intel Core i7-10700 / AMD Ryzen 7 3700X
GPU: Nvidia RTX 3060Ti / AMD Radeon RX 6700-XT
Memory: 16GB
Storage: Minimum 30GB

[lunar sphinx]

Since I have a 2060, I wonder if it can handle the game on the lowest graphics settings.

[harsh wedge]

Invites for Battlefield Labs Playtests will be sent via email - keep an eye on your inbox!

THANKSSSSSSSS

[lunar sphinx]

With the Battlefield series, the last thing to worry about is the graphics.

[cinder dagger]

Noo need for vpns you just need to open the site on other browser and you can skip the the queue list 😁

[harsh wedge]

i tried that before vpn, didnt work lol

[viscid tangle]

per chance do you already have an EA Playtesting account prior to this?

[harsh wedge]

no I just signed up for it. i had an ea account though

[lunar sphinx]

no

[viscid tangle]

ah interesting okay. I had no queue, i assumed it was cause i already had a play testing account. guess not lol

[lunar sphinx]

Magical EA servers.

Some people are lucky enough not to queue, while others wait for seven hours and still can't fill out the survey.

[languid aurora]

wait there are still people in queue?

[pallid sundial]

Yeah, I've got 5600 ahead of me with a 20 mins wait time

[languid aurora]

damn

i gotta warn you tho, it's very slow

[stiff peak]

42 mins here

[languid aurora]

you gotta be patient

[wicked aspen]

I got through the queue, and now im on the page where it says Playtests available with Battlefield labs under it, I answered a few questions beforehand. Does this mean I am in? I haven't gotten an email or anything

[pallid sundial]

Standing by to act on a 15 mins time window over the course of 15 hours definitely takes patience

[wicked aspen]

Also when I go to battlefield.com/labs it just puts be back in the queue, even though I did everything already. There isnt really any feed back saying you entered the playtest or anything tbh

[languid aurora]

im talking about the filling up process

i should've been more specific

[pallid sundial]

Filling up process?

[languid aurora]

it's a survey

[pallid sundial]

Ah, why does that take patience?

[languid aurora]

it wasn't responsive when i was filling it up for obvious reasons

[sand spire]

They ever say how many people will be picked?

[austere tiger]

To filter the white cis males, you know🤭

And each question takes about 4 minutes to go to the next

[languid aurora]

you gotta wait a few seconds after clicking "next"

[sand spire]

Ah ok.

[austere tiger]

Thousands followed by tens of thousands

[sand spire]

I have done playtests before but this seems different?

[pallid sundial]

This morning alone, I was waiting behind over 200,000 people

[languid aurora]

if you think something's wrong with the survey it's probably because it's just slow

[pallid coral]

they said "a few thousand" not just 1 thousand

the first wave is probs gonna be like 5k to 10k i bet

[sand spire]

Thats crazy. I got right in.

[pallid coral]

same i didnt even see the queue

[languid aurora]

i guess i was lucky lol

for me it was like <10,000

[pallid sundial]

I've heard mixed feedback.

[pallid coral]

well ur right in that sense our chance of getting in is super low

assuming about 2 million are gonna sign up for this in total

[sand spire]

Has anyone been approved yet?

[pallid coral]

they haven't sent any emails yet

probs gonna send in like a week

There is no confirmation email when signing up.

[sand spire]

Yeah. Give people a chance to sign up.

[pallid coral]

they're probs gonna wait 5 to 7 days for people to sign up

[wicked aspen]

Is the EA page saying "There are currently no other playtests available.", after completing the battlefield labs survey normal?. That mean im in and just gotta wait for an email?

[sand spire]

Thats normal @wicked aspen

[worldly turret]

yes that means you signed up for it

[sand spire]

Heres to hoping they bring back the BFV slide mechanic.

[pallid coral]

you may see an inperson one if ur in the same city/state

[wicked aspen]

Gotcha, appreciate it. Looking forward to it 🙌

[pallid coral]

now we wait

insert mr bean waiting in grass gif

[sand spire]

https://tenor.com/view/beanin-gif-21667714

[worldly turret]

i saw one that looked fun but it required a web cam and im too broke and ugly for that 😂

[sand spire]

There is no ugly people.

Everyone is different.

[pallid coral]

BUT U CAN TEST EARLY! AND GUARENTEED (probably)

[worldly turret]

i blame the housing market why im so broke rn

[fierce blaze]

so is there a way to get past this queue of over 200,000 people ?

[worldly turret]

ez i just get the worst webcam that is like 144p rez

[visual wharf]

Cant wait 😄 iam so hyped

[marble anvil]

cnm

[warped matrix]

Wait.

[wicked dock]

tr yon pc

[minor veldt]

My only request: please bring back 5-player squads

Or make it 6 I don't care

[pallid sundial]

I just got through the queue and completed the survey

[cinder lion]

There's no queue for me either

[pallid coral]

I think it's region based

I had no queue in the beginning too

[willow crescent]

Waiting in queue for me !

[languid hamlet]

I joined the queue at 9pm in the evening
I got through like 5 minutes ago lol

(at 10am)

[fierce blaze]

pass. window closed

[worldly turret]

it saves your spot even if closed

so you still waiting

[limber eagle]

After a failed attempt yesterday, I managed to sneak past the queue using incognito

I already had the registration completed, and managed to fill out the survey aswell

[weary mantle]

i got through the que 3 times now since the announcement but all 3 times I got skipped because I was AFK doing other things, lmao.

[warped matrix]

Then my region/ country plays too much BF. I’ll have to something about that to have an advantage in the next playtest.

[weary mantle]

oh well. Been playing Battlefield since 2002 when the Wake Island demo came out. Gonna play regardless if I get in the test or not cuz this is the only thing from my childhood that hasn't completely been destroyed

lol

[dry grotto]

They should totally add back Wake Island

[weary mantle]

i like how they did that in BF2, 2142, etc

even 1943 on consoles

[dry grotto]

They have their own flavor

[vestal fulcrum]

We need Shangai 24/7 baby!

[dry grotto]

oh yeah certainly

[weary mantle]

it's just a solid map that allows for air, land and naval battles

wake island, that is

but yea why not add all the classics from the last 20 years

[sharp maple]

Night operations would look dope

[weary mantle]

there's so much they can draw from it's insane

[dry grotto]

Some Chinese maps from BF2 are classics as well

[weary mantle]

Battlefield 2: Special Forces expansion pack

was awesome

had jetskis, ziplines, grappling hooks, gas masks, tear gas, etc

night vision

[fierce blaze]

but then i only have 15minutes to complete. so once my place comes up ill probably be outta time ? i was in the queue this morning. i was lower then 287,000. i tried again just now. and i seem to be higher. so not sure if true

[dry grotto]

What do you guys think of 48v48

[weary mantle]

i guess it depends on the map and mode

[fierce blaze]

but it was dead. all the SF servers in Australia had nothing going on. it was probably just a failed release on early games with DLC. it was like a whole different game didn't flow with the base game

[low kite]

I like it

[worldly turret]

how long ago was this morning?

[fierce blaze]

12 -13hours ago

[worldly turret]

slight chance you missed it and it just redid your queue

[fierce blaze]

not worth waiting until they sort the queue times out.

[weary mantle]

can't imagine the pain....I always heard of aussie servers being empty. in NA we had full servers at launch. Warlord 24/7 map was always packed

[hidden maple]

is the queue for EU and NA seperate or the same queue

[worldly turret]

some people think region based some people think same queue but we really don't know

[dry grotto]

its the same i think

[hidden maple]

ok...its almost 300k now seems a bit high for just EU

[swift cape]

How come I'm still in the queue and managed to register anyway? I opened another google page and I think I managed to register.

[worldly turret]

couldn't tell ya it works sometimes and instantly puts you in no queue and other times you get put in a 300k+ queue

[warped matrix]

Wait, I only have 15 min for the whole survey?! TF! It took like 3 minutes to load the first fucking page!

[worldly turret]

i just spamed the button till it worked lol

took like 30s for me each page

[warped matrix]

I did the same. I don’t even have a slow connection, just that page died 😭

[worldly turret]

yea too many people trying to load the website basically

[hidden maple]

should ve bought more servers fore the site or used some 2042 servers...noone playing that anyway lol

[warped matrix]

Yeah. But EA should have seen this coming.

[versed cove]

eu and na

[worldly turret]

well thats why they had the queue it just didn't work the way they thought it would

[warm umbra]

i kinda skipped the line this morning was 172.000 when i went over EA webpage to join Lab site, just needed to login and press sign in and thats it was just very slow loading

[dry grotto]

slipped through the back door

[hidden maple]

at least they got a proper queue and not just the site crashing over and over

[worldly turret]

a few thousand still play i think. i check it out every few months to just mess around

[hidden maple]

?

[warm umbra]

https://ea.arcsivr.com/Portal/Default?as-refcode=7718 this one worked for me to skip the line

[worldly turret]

he meant like the queue is both eu and na

[hidden maple]

even rn its 6k just on steam...V has 3 times more though

[versed cove]

yes the eu and na are both in the same que. other regions follow eventually

[worldly turret]

i feel like everytime i play V i run into cheaters nonstop

[tidal solar]

DICE, the feeling of momentum is very important. BF1 knocked it outta the park with its animations to make it feel like every move had some momentum to it. Please get rid of these 2042 running hacksaw gun movement. It so unnatural and throws you off especially since that is the main animation we will be looking at while playing.

Valuting, Running, Crouching etc these need to feel/look as good as BF1. ty

BF1s system was so good and dynamic. The reload animations would blend in with where your hands were at the time

[dry grotto]

to be honest, they can add a head moving button instead of that 2042 weird stuff

[hidden maple]

wdym my soldier cant lift up a 10+ kg machine gun and sprint around

[warped matrix]

Kinda sus. The URL is different. If that a reff link?

[hidden maple]

head moving? which game has that? never heard of it

[worldly turret]

but DICE loves 2042 so sadly i feel like alot of stuff like animations from the older games won't come back

[warm umbra]

https://www.ea.com/de-de/games/battlefield/battlefield-labs its just the buttom "Lab join" from the labs page the buttom one that ref code kinda skips the Queue

[dry grotto]

It might not be essential for arcade shooters, but it's lovely that you can actually nod your head

[warm umbra]

not the "register now" has Queue

liek said it skips the queue

[tidal solar]

yeah im pretty sure thoose animation systems were made by the OG dice devs. heres a cool GDC talk about just the reload animations and how much woork they put in. Devs with true passion for their product: https://youtu.be/p9i-iqs_CO4

[worldly turret]

i feel like passion projects for big companys like ea, sony are very very hard to come by nowadays

[dry grotto]

and G=Throw grenade as default

💀

I know when I need to throw a nade, without click LMB to confirm it

[stiff peak]

THANK YOU FOR REGISTERING when it says so, it means that you are in the fight to be allowed to take the test?

[dry grotto]

I don't even remember what does it said

I remember I took the extra survey

[stiff peak]

Congratulations, your registration for Battlefield Labs is complete!

Invites for Battlefield Labs Playtests will be sent via email - keep an eye on your inbox!

something like that?

[cursive zodiac]

You guys excited?

[dry grotto]

ah yes

[cedar flax]

Why is there still a queue for 280,000 people went to sleep and got on and it’s still upping there

[dry grotto]

You can't view what test you have signed up for?

[stiff peak]

where

[dry grotto]

Idk

[pallid lake]

you'd be surprised, last time i gave it a run, there was an odd amount of new players for so late in its lifespan

[worldly turret]

yes you are now in the pool to be chosen for the test

[stiff peak]

cool thxthanks for the answer

hahah iknow 😄

[worldly turret]

cause people are just leaving it on and hoping to wake up and be able to sign up for the test

[warped matrix]

Thanks. It’s worked!

Although I guess I shouldn’t have selected “idk” when they asked about my ethnicity. Bcs the survey ended instantly after that.

[stiff peak]

so just wait and see if we are the lucky ones,

[tidal harness]

waited 8 fucking hours for me to miss the 15 minute window lmao

if thats anything to show how the "labs" shit will run jesus christ yall about to make 2042 2.0

[dry grotto]

I got into the second queue (idk) then I just leave it there for 12hrs

[tidal harness]

im not waiting in a second queue

waited 8 hours to beta test for free

fuck em

[worldly turret]

don't get me wrong the 15 minute window sucks but its for other people to have a chance and if it didn't have the 15 minute window the website would completely crash

[dry grotto]

there is a white page says queue, but i woke up in the morning i can enter it

not the queue page says how much people

btw

[dry grotto]

BF Labs trailer seems to be British Army?

[warm umbra]

use this https://ea.arcsivr.com/Portal/Default?as-refcode=7718 to skip queue

[tidal harness]

or they could have a better solution like steam playtest and let them use their servers instead of their incompetent servers

[dry grotto]

even though using Abrams, M4 and RPGs

uniform looks like British

[worldly turret]

easier for stuff to leak

[tidal harness]

either way they give people access to the code of the game to play it. shit will still leak.

[dry grotto]

It's likely to leak

But if they do this right, it will be good rep leak

*more preorder

[visual wharf]

Has the alpha test already started ?

[dry grotto]

no

[worldly turret]

no

[visual wharf]

Ok thx

[crisp pasture]

Is the website any better today?

This time I am 289331

[dry grotto]

no

You could sign up 12hrs earlier

1 waited for like 10k people

[crisp pasture]

Yesterday I waited 3 hours in the queue for the website to be literally unusable

[worldly turret]

plus they've been using EA Playtesting for years now no reason to stop using it and no reason to stop using the ea app they have alot more control using their own stuff

[crisp pasture]

Guess today will be the same 😢

[tidal harness]

aint nobody buying that shit on ea app.

only reason it gets any use is because they force it to be used through steam

[dry grotto]

I bought Battlefields on Origin

[crisp pasture]

Me too but only older ones

[worldly turret]

like i said they have alot more control using their own stuff then using steam

[cyan trench]

Just went to the EA website and was able to register right then and there, dunno why theres such a big queue

[dry grotto]

My only Steam BF is 2042

[crisp pasture]

What EA website

[cyan trench]

The actual website https://www.ea.com/games/battlefield

[tidal harness]

well appreciate yall beta testing for free. hopefully the game isnt ass when it launches

[warped matrix]

I’m very sure it won’t be

[worldly turret]

do you not beta test every other game for free?

[dry grotto]

I beta test The Crew Motorfest for free

[tidal harness]

is it early access or full launch?

[dry grotto]

👀

[warped matrix]

This was just the first game where I was fast enough to sign up. Otherwise I’m always too slow.

[ornate silo]

There is still a queue?? the hell

[dry grotto]

The queue is getting longer

[crisp pasture]

I just got it going through the EA website

[crisp pasture]

this

[worldly turret]

this is like alpha or something they haven't specified i don't think but definitely not close to early access

[gentle zealot]

About 300.000 people in queue.. 🤔🤔

[high plume]

How to apply successfully

[stable venture]

Where can I find the queue?

[warped matrix]

signup
wait
hope

[gentle zealot]

Trough the ea website @stable venture

[warped matrix]

battlefield.com/labs

[worldly turret]

ok i go to sleep hope yall get in to do the survey and good luck

[stable venture]

thx

[icy ferry]

I think its pre alpha gameplay. They Said its a very early state of the game. They want to gather as much Feedback as possible to make sure the release is good. Think they learned from BF 2042 😂

[warped matrix]

I hope so. Everyone wants a good game. gamers to play and ea to make money.

[dawn relic]

bruh in im queue and i have 290K+ people infront of me 😦

[warped matrix]

It took me about 8 hours for 100k

[torn girder]

@dawn relic click this in their message ^^^ it just worked for me.

[icy ferry]

I think they want it to be good too. Its the last chance to revive Battlefield and keep it alive. If they mess up, its over for BF

[unreal tundra]

I got in 5 min after it opened, no queue at all

[runic sparrow]

Dang thats a long queue.

[dawn relic]

it takes me to the same site when i hit sign up

[torn girder]

Yeah me too, I just signed in again, and it went straight to survey, idk 🤷

[trim patio]

same for me

I have successfully completed the survey, now I have to wait.

[modern plaza]

so there is no playtest right now?

[plucky ledge]

I actually got queue under 30k yesterday, but thers 15 min only available to get in , unfortunately i am offline that time.

i think playtest is full

i don't think they can afford 10k people on a playtest

[woeful juniper]

hello yalls

[plucky ledge]

In my opinion they should have an closed private playtest involving just BF3 BF4 BF1 community players instead of an open playtest.

because they knew what Battlefield what exactly was.

[topaz goblet]

just hoping they take into account peoples hours in the different titles and how many titles people own

[plucky ledge]

I think half of BF veterans were retired from gaming and former devs too

[carmine flume]

yo ppl, I need EA app for the playtest if I get an invite on email, right

[versed token]

Yes

[noble fulcrum]

or they opened their own studio

[sand pawn]

I've been in queue for 4h lol

[dusty acorn]

Dang

I recently checked in and there was no queue for me

[sand pawn]

When I started it was 285k ahead of me now it's 249k lmao I think I can open the site again in about 3 weeks lol

[versed token]

Im glad i signed up 10min before anyone else even knew about it

[slim bay]

Just saw the video.. excited but weird that it took 3 minutes to announce the actual thing lol

[dusty acorn]

I kept checking every hour but when it initially opened earlier. I waited for 50 people but didn’t think the registration worked

[sand pawn]

Ah

[jolly burrow]

Dumb question but does anyone know where to sign up for the Labs ?

[slim bay]

Battlefield.com/Labs

[sand pawn]

Well hopefully Dice listens to the community this time and makes some smarter decisions, I enjoy 2042 now when it got more stable but the whole specialist thing and the voicelines to it was so off it felt like a game for 10 year olds even though the beta was great

[plucky ledge]

I already full guys ( not sure 😂 )

[topaz goblet]

''we havent had this many teams and talents working on a battlefield title before'' meanwhile 2042 had every studio ea owns smacking their hands on the game

[river widget]

this should be the reason for battlefield labs

[plucky ledge]

IMO art department always done a good job throughout the series.

[slim bay]

Too many cooks spoil the broth. That's my idea as well when I saw that 4 studios would be working on it.

I hope I'm wrong at least.

[versed token]

What alternate reality do you live in

[topaz goblet]

2042 came out with less content than minecraft alpha despite the amount of cooks, could change

[slim bay]

Fingers crossed I guess.

[topaz goblet]

their own words

[versed token]

No it isn't

[halcyon fable]

I hope that if there is crossplay, consoles will finally get mouse support.
Insurgency Sandstorm has a great solution so that others don't get angry when playing on the pad.
Option to choose whether to look for servers with other devices or with MK itself.
Arma Reforger
Insurgency Sandstorm
COD/Warzone
Titles that support MK, I hope DICE will take it into account this time.
Players' responses like "buy a PC" are simply boring 🤷🏻

[topaz goblet]

did you watch the labs trailer?? did you read the ea posts about 2042 before it released?

[plucky ledge]

Do u guys think Vehicle - entering animation In BFV will be in this new one?. I really liked it.

[versed token]

Your quote is correct but your statement about 2042 is way wrong

[hollow chasm]

waited 3 hours last night on queue and telling me opened next tab

Keep saying this….

Nope im not gettin angry im calm

[sharp cradle]

I literally just signed up, no queue

[wide finch]

Don't know how many teams were working on BF3/BF4 but I think those two were the best in the franchise for me personally. Still play BF4 from time to time. I would pay if they added the missing maps from BF3 to BF4. And if they added some bug fixes and touchups here and there, I would buy it as a new game.

[plucky ledge]

its already full bro , i goe the chance to register and got message "no playtest available for u " 😭

[versed token]

That doesn't mean it's full

It means that there are no ongoing playtests

[dry grotto]

Where to check signed up

[twilit pilot]

sign up than sign in when you completed the website application

so gotta go back on battle labs than sign up

[plucky ledge]

yesterday i was in 30k queue , but im offline during 15 min time for get in line , so lost the chance , now there is no queue just direct survy

[twilit pilot]

o7

hopped off my pc, and went to check on my phone to check my que, all of a sudden I got redirected to the app

lucky me

[plucky ledge]

hot take , BF2042 recent updates were the actually playtest😂

[dry grotto]

why don't they just "fix" the 2042

[dim oyster]

I'm still 192805 and I'm too scared to leave and come back what if you're lying to make the queue shorter

[hexed elbow]

This comment is really important for the developing of the new game. Just because a lot of old BF players doesnt play Battlefield anymore doesnt mean that the game itself cant give contructive game data as information for developing a new AND better game. The new battlefield should have the supression effect and legendary maps of Bf3 and the atmosphere of Bf1 combined with something that didnt exist in any other Battlefield games before. I still play battlefield 3 with 300-400 people online, not because of the nostalgy, but because it is a game that managed to be still one of my favourite after 14 years. They should search for old players to get feedback about what was wrong with those games like granade spamming and collect a lot of data from them, not from new players who played with 5 and 2042.

[dry grotto]

is it common that 2042 run shit in medium laptop?

[plucky ledge]

"we are not perfect , thus makes mistakes" 😂 - Unpaid Glazer

[dry grotto]

They seems to given a very okay spec regarding the BF Labs

[covert nest]

I hope the real specs will be much higher so people can't complain about optimisation when they have the apparent correct hardware.

[twilit pilot]

Standard minimum or recommended specs for games like bf1 bf3 or bf4?

or just a bit more higher end?

[covert nest]

Biggest issue throughout 2042 was the fact that specs weren't realistic.

[spare zephyr]

Specs for those wondering

[covert nest]

I see Ryzen 5 2600 and I have flashbacks with people running that CPU on 2042 and getting terrible performance.

[dry grotto]

Oh yeah nobody can use 3060 to play 2042 at solid 60fps

[covert nest]

You need a good CPU for battlefield.

5600x is what I'd call the min and even so that thing get strangled.

[twilit pilot]

30gb storage

thats

[dry grotto]

i7-4790 is absolutely not the case

[twilit pilot]

quite less of what I was going to expect

[dry grotto]

They run it on clean machine?

[unreal tundra]

I highly doubt that

[covert nest]

In the case of labs I think because it's literally an early build graphically it shouldn't really be taxing.

[dry grotto]

or they just made that up

[covert nest]

But that's graphics.

[twilit pilot]

I think my i9-13900k will survive on the game

C:

[versed token]

Or it runs bad since it's early days

[sand pawn]

Indeed

[topaz goblet]

pretty sure the older titles were literally just DICE and before the OG's left around i think BF5 time is when they seem to have started throwing more studios into the pot and delaying those studios new titles

[hushed fulcrum]

My 5800x and rtx3080 runs bf2042 at 200+fps without DLSS/FSR. How are you claiming some slightly worse hardware cant even manage 60fps? lol

[warped matrix]

I’m scared with my lousy 2080 ti.

[unreal tundra]

It only shows that he has no clue what he is talking about

[covert nest]

1080p???

[unreal tundra]

Probably playing at 4K with ultra settings complaining about his 3060 not running at 60fps

[covert nest]

Yeah people shoud specify their resolution more cause that's a major factor in this shit.

[versed token]

That's definitely at 1080p

[hushed fulcrum]

Of course. Playing at 4k on any game, especially a FPS, and complaining about fps is stupid

[stark sentinel]

"dont be sad"

[twilit pilot]

1080ti is pure performance

used to have one before it blew up

now it's buried somewhere in my backyard

o7

[hushed fulcrum]

and 1080p is still the vast majority of gamers

[warped matrix]

1080ti = 1080p beast

[ashen geyser]

bf2042 getting like 30 fps on low setting with gtx 1660ti and i5 9th gen is crazy

[twilit pilot]

fr

[stark sentinel]

yes

[ashen geyser]

when i can run other games easily

[twilit pilot]

11gb of GDDR5 vram was the sweet spot

[charred cedar]

Bruh it only just gave me an email to increase my chance of getting in lol

[trim patio]

I think the playtest has now been closed, at least it is no longer displayed in the portal.

[unreal tundra]

On what resolution?

[ashen geyser]

poorly optimized

[ashen geyser]

1440p

[covert nest]

That'd do it.

💀

[unreal tundra]

1440p i can understand is heave for a 1660ti

heavy*

[warped matrix]

One could say that

[versed token]

It's not a 1440p card

[ashen geyser]

even on 1080p it was not like stable

bruh

not fun

[covert nest]

Yeah it's a pretty underpowered card.

[ashen geyser]

other games even new ones run good

[dry grotto]

my 1070Ti and i7-8700 rarely can run it without stutter in medium low at 1080p

👀

[ashen geyser]

bf2042 is so cpu heavy

[covert nest]

Yeah it is.

A good CPU is more important.

[ashen geyser]

bf5 runs smooth as butter

[twilit pilot]

I wonder

[lilac quartz]

Is the Register closed?

[ashen geyser]

and other games obv

[covert nest]

You can have a high tier GPU but if your CPU is low end it's gonna get cucked hard.

[ashen geyser]

i hope this is optimized good

[twilit pilot]

what the game will run like if I use my spare 1050 ti

[dry grotto]

bfv i can run at 80+ maxed out

[hushed fulcrum]

It seems like every game is CPU heavy these days

[dry grotto]

💀

[ashen geyser]

like have options for actual low setting

[twilit pilot]

I pair my 1050ti with an i7-9700k

as my backup

in case my main goes bye bye

[ashen geyser]

bruh yea but ghost of tsushima for honor cs2 etc i play normally and they run good

[covert nest]

I'm looking at getting a 5080 and just having my 3080 on reserve just incase anything goes wrong.

[twilit pilot]

ik what's wrong wit it

[ashen geyser]

bf2042 was the only shit that had shit with shit and shit and is shit and not fun shit

delta force is better and runs better than bf2042

[twilit pilot]

it ain't got no gas in it

[bitter rover]

Is a 4090 and 7950x3D good enough?

[ashen geyser]

but bf4 is better lol

[unreal tundra]

Its almost a 10yr old mid range GPU combined with a just as old mid range cpu, and you are suprised you cant run "newer" AAA titles on more than low/medium?

[dry grotto]

I reserve my opinion

[ashen geyser]

what is ur opinion

[unborn osprey]

HOW I CAN DOWNLOAD bf labs ?

[ashen geyser]

bf3/bf4 is better than both of them btw

[dry grotto]

not that better

[covert nest]

You might want to get a more RTX compatible GPU now considering the fact that games want one now.

[ashen geyser]

yea but still much better than bf2042 now is and that game in open beta atm

you remember bf2042 didnt have squad managment and they added after few seasons

💀

i like all bfs but bf2042 was meh for me

[bitter rover]

Buy EA

[twilit pilot]

Maybe it will be sent as an attachment in email

[versed token]

You will get instructions when they send out playtest invites

[unborn osprey]

battlefield heroes

best bf

game

[dry grotto]

its only 4yrs when 2042 released

[unborn summit]

Did anyone else get put in queue when they never signed up

[twilit pilot]

nop

Everyone here I think practically signed up for it

[ashen geyser]

not me

[covert nest]

I couldn't!

[ashen geyser]

same

[twilit pilot]

fair enough

[unborn summit]

I opened up the form but when I saw I had to login with EA I ran away

[covert nest]

Australia gets cucked with everything!

[ashen geyser]

it said i had 15 minutes to do it so i gotta requeue

[bitter rover]

Anyone remember the metro map?

[unborn summit]

Came back hours later now I’m in the queue

[bitter rover]

That was my fav

[twilit pilot]

damn

that's unfortunate

[bitter rover]

Bruh I feel bad for them

[dry grotto]

still im running on 3060laptop now

[twilit pilot]

I was lucky

[ashen geyser]

zavod was fun

[swift charm]

I opened it 12 hours ago and was 200k and now im 80k haha

[unborn summit]

I shouldn’t even be in it

Gotta be fake

[twilit pilot]

guys opinion on the Radeon 7900XTX?

[covert nest]

Good card!

[ashen geyser]

also wavebreaker

(im not that sniper with 40x scope btw)

[safe moat]

The real PTSD of Battlefield players

[bitter rover]

No idea on amd cards. NVIDIA for years

[safe moat]

It ain’t the 2042 release

[twilit pilot]

same

[covert nest]

Truth be told the recent AMD cards have had massive driver issues but they're good cards.

[twilit pilot]

but I recently switched

[dry grotto]

metro is like

[safe moat]

Its the High Ticket Operation Metro

[dry grotto]

weird

[bitter rover]

Haha I went from 1942 straight to metro

[ashen geyser]

sewggs

[unborn summit]

never liked metro

[dry grotto]

Metro is not exactly Battlefield style is it

👀

[twilit pilot]

because all Nvidia cards selling at the place I go to was out of stock and I couldn't be bothered waiting 3 months

[unborn summit]

Only ever joined it for the once a session chaos but it’s never fun to play

[ashen geyser]

yea if u arent very good at game it wont be fun tbh

[versed token]

Haven't really had any glaring driver issues on AMD for months

[bitter rover]

I had to buy my 4090 off eBay

[ashen geyser]

wavebreaker/zavod was fun

[twilit pilot]

damn

I Don't trust those

packaging on them are wild asf

[ashen geyser]

also that golmud railway

[bitter rover]

Overslept on the 5090 launch day 😅

[twilit pilot]

pain

[unborn summit]

The tactics used in metro isn’t technically that of a good player tbh

[twilit pilot]

my broke ass

can't get 5090

its not even in my country yet

[dry grotto]

wait till DLSS4 make shit blurry

[ashen geyser]

ye golmud railway/wavebreaker/zavod was more fun

[unborn summit]

Yes

[bitter rover]

I got really lucky. Good price and original receipt

[ashen geyser]

i dont want to be sweaty ass in metro

[twilit pilot]

sweet bro

[unborn summit]

I think giants of Karelia was fun

[twilit pilot]

I'm with my sweet baby 7900XTX

C:

[unborn summit]

A lot of the final stand maps were pretty good

[ashen geyser]

yea

final stand dlc was pretty good

[dry grotto]

oh yeah ofc

[twilit pilot]

I loved final stand

favourite dlc to me

personally

[ashen geyser]

real

[unborn summit]

Same

[bitter rover]

What it’s been treating you well?

[twilit pilot]

yeah

[unborn summit]

DLC was so special back then

[dry grotto]

The tank is trash tho

[twilit pilot]

paired it up with my i9

performance is good

[ashen geyser]

hangar map

💀

[unborn summit]

Felt like unlocking a new game to explore every time

[ashen geyser]

i played opreation whiteout too much

[bitter rover]

Parts of metro reminded me of trench fighting. You’d get stuck lol

[twilit pilot]

I don't experience GPU sagging

lol

[covert nest]

Intel CPU and AMD GPU that's sure a new thing lol

[unborn summit]

Part of me wishes there was a trench warfare type of game mode in bf1. Would’ve been a cool experiment

[dry grotto]

That moutain hangar map is like shit, but good looking shit

[plucky ledge]

Does anyone got approval for playtest? anyone in?

[bitter rover]

Great idea! Missed op

[bitter rover]

Not yet.

[dry grotto]

Somme operation mode?

[twilit pilot]

nah, not yet

[ashen geyser]

btw silk road was either too annoying or too much fun at times

[unborn summit]

Does anyone know what happens if you miss the 15m window?

[bitter rover]

That’s good. I mixed my 4090 with ryzen 9 it’s been solid.

[plucky ledge]

if u miss the 15 min window , u have to resign for new queue from start.

[unborn summit]

Sometimes tanks but it was mostly either infantry combat at the military base or launching dirt bikes. No in between

[bitter rover]

Dang that’s wild!

[unborn summit]

Harsh

[plucky ledge]

happens to me

[ashen geyser]

yea

[unborn summit]

Might not even be awake for it

[ashen geyser]

mostly annoying tho but sometimes fun

[twilit pilot]

sweet as

[bitter rover]

Has anyone played hell let loose?

[unborn summit]

Yeah

[plucky ledge]

yes

[twilit pilot]

I didn't update my BIOS for a year

[bitter rover]

It’s pretty chill.

[twilit pilot]

just updated it lol

[plucky ledge]

squad is chill

[twilit pilot]

Tried to launch WoW but shi wouldn't load

[bitter rover]

Bruh 😅

[twilit pilot]

Damn intel cpu instability

haha

[bitter rover]

Have yet to try it.

[unborn summit]

Bios updates kinda suck

[twilit pilot]

scary shi man

[unborn summit]

I did it once

Never again until I have to

[plucky ledge]

did u guys update bios 🫡

[dry grotto]

HLL is decent

[twilit pilot]

Last time I went into BIOS was to overclock my case fans, and ny 1080ti

[warped matrix]

I only updated my bios when I upgraded my ryzen 2700x to a 5800x3d

[bitter rover]

If your mobo supports flash bios updates it’s not as bad

[dry grotto]

Animations are quite sluggish

[ashen geyser]

sound:0:2

[twilit pilot]

Ever had a PC that started smoking? literally?

that's me

[scenic oasis]

sound:896685803835641896:1328812187468435578

[twilit pilot]

1080ti be cooking inside

[unborn summit]

If only milsim games weren’t riddled with bugs

[ashen geyser]

the beast

[bitter rover]

I think it’s time to call the fire dept lol

[twilit pilot]

smoked up, than blew up

I regretted it tbh

[warped matrix]

Rip GOAT sounds like you need a new GPU

[twilit pilot]

yeah I did

switched it to uh

1070

thsn upgrade to 7900XTX

[bitter rover]

It’s fun, to pass time. A LOT of running tho

[twilit pilot]

but by the time I got the 7900XTX

i just decided to build a new pc

[dry grotto]

HLL is literally camping simulation

[bitter rover]

The 1070ti was my first card 🥲

[twilit pilot]

nice

my 1070 msi

had like 8gb vram

[bitter rover]

But sniping is soooo fun!

[warped matrix]

I’m also thinking, just the 5090 or also a new cpu/mobo.

[twilit pilot]

was pretty solid for a while

now it's resting in my closet

[dry grotto]

oh yeah for sure, I snipe with my garand in about 150m

they didn't noticed where i'm at

[twilit pilot]

got some random ahh 32gb ddr3 ram

[plucky ledge]

sometimes i just double tap x to try slide like BFV😭

[dry grotto]

slide is the stupidest thing ever invented for military shooters

💀

also tactical sprint, which is just another sprinting animation

[bitter rover]

Mine was Cerberus 1070ti I sold it a few months later and got a 2080 fe

[plucky ledge]

nah it was takedown animation

[dry grotto]

oh yeah that

[bitter rover]

Agreed. When they added that to halo I was done

[dry grotto]

literally useless and break immersiveness

[twilit pilot]

shoulda got the 3060

[sand pawn]

I wanna make a video about the BF Labs experience and share my thoughts on it, can somebody at Dice or EA confirm if it's allowed to use parts of old BF trailers and put in the video as content? Or if it's strictly not allowed due to copyright? Please dm me about it, thank you!

[bitter rover]

It wasn’t out yet. I got the 3080 launch day tho

[dry grotto]

You are not allow to talk it whatsoever I think so

But you can say it's good or bad (?)

[violet wagon]

You can probably find an answer in the FAQ of the labs site i'd imagine

[twilit pilot]

^^

[bitter rover]

Pretty sure you’ll sign an NDA if selected

[sand pawn]

Well this is about 3 trailers, the recent one, and 2 older BF3 trailers

[violet wagon]

Ah gotcha

[plucky ledge]

From former Ex coffee maker at EA studio , U can;t do that sorry.

[violet wagon]

Give it a shot and see if you get taken down? 😄

[dry grotto]

l e a k e d

[spark charm]

Whats the specs for the playtest?

[sand pawn]

Meh I dont wanna mess with EA, better to ask nicely rather than taking a guess and get copyright striked

[violet wagon]

Fair play

[spark charm]

2042 ah leak

[bitter rover]

Don’t remember seeing them anywhere

[violet wagon]

Search for spec in this chat someone posted it

[dry grotto]

3060

[spark charm]

Aigh

[dry grotto]

recommend

[spark charm]

I hope my 3060 and 16 gb ram will handle it

And so does my processor omfg

[twilit pilot]

what's yo processor?

[spark charm]

AMD Ryzen 5 3600 6-Core Processor

Huehuehuehue

[bitter rover]

32gb would be nice

[twilit pilot]

tbh

All you need is 16gb

to run most games

[sand pawn]

16gb ram is a bit short in my opinion, 32gb would be the very minimum in my eyes

[spark charm]

agree

been rocking 16 gb since 2042's disasterous launch

[versed token]

6 core cpus are probably gonna struggle

[spark charm]

Until the game became fully optimized

[warped matrix]

[bitter rover]

Goat

[warped matrix]

Damn. 30 gig is low.

[dry grotto]

Its only playtest

[twilit pilot]

depends on ur graphs settings as well

[dry grotto]

so probably one or two maps

[bitter rover]

We thinking one map?

[twilit pilot]

yeah

[lunar scroll]

Minimum storage of 30gb is surprisingly small tbh

[twilit pilot]

One map

[spark charm]

hopefully the map from the teaser

[twilit pilot]

Most likely

[plucky ledge]

Official one above 90gb for sure

[spark charm]

would like to test the destruction of the map

[bitter rover]

Blackhawk Down simulator

[spark charm]

jet ramming

[old geode]

Great

[bright sparrow]

im gonna say 2 maps one big map and CQ

[warped matrix]

Do I hear 100? Wo wants to go above 100 gb for the base game.

[spark charm]

Isnt that a AAA standard nowadays lol

[bitter rover]

COD “ hold my beer”

[twilit pilot]

you guys think game is runnable with 1050ti on potentially 720p?

[spark charm]

dont underestimate cod

CoD is half 1 tb

[spark charm]

doubt imo

[plucky ledge]

i think u have to download entire game with all extre perimum stuffs

[bright sparrow]

def not

[spark charm]

BF2025 may rely on RTX by default atp

[warped matrix]

With warzone and stuff.

[spark charm]

i shall bump this:
