#

Oh is that 4 in the morning?

ebon hemlock

If it’s 4 in the morning then fair enough

#

How come I managed to play some games during maintenance then ? wtf

chilly jacinth
#

because not all servers get shut down for maintenance

patent path
#

Dice is his uncle

wild lodge
#

well why'd matchmaking push people on servers in maintenance then ? harold

patent path
#

nepotism

offline maintenance is different to live patching

oh right they do live patching

okay makes more sense then !

We should get rework hourglass soon yeah? Next week or so?

cold beacon
#

I think

#

that they'll give us info

#

and if it was next week we'd already be informed

#

but I'm gonna wait til' Friday or smth for verdict

next onyx
#

Wish they brought the LTM's back onto rotation.

#

They actually make the game feel fresh.

pine roost
#

Modern engagement systems hurrah 💀

#

Dunno bout you but if they actually kept these limited time modes as actual modes then people who only come back for them could actually play for longer before stopping again

viscid bone
pine roost
#

I just don’t see the point in putting in the effort to create these mechanics only to abandon them

next onyx
#

Yeah that's how I see it.

#

Why would you add these special custom game modes only to not use them again?

patent path
#

it went

pine roost
#

What’s the name of the bomb type device they added? I’ve forgotten

next onyx
#

Err.

#

The jammers?

pine roost
#

But stuff like that must have taken some time to make

next onyx
#

Season 4 event.

#

Yeah.

#

THis one took a bit too.

#

If they did like a "Weekend night battlefield" with these LTM's then... You know?

#

Actually...

patent path
#

I don't have good frames in rush xl 😦

next onyx
#

Nvm on my part.

#

Yeah dude your CPU is fucking.

#

DYING.

#

During BT 128 my CPU hit at 90% usage.

#

My 5800x3d of all things HAHA.

#

Like I'm not surprised.

glass shard
#

my cpu is 100%

next onyx
#

But GOD DAMN.

#

What are you running?

glass shard
#

and someone said "ur pc is old get a new one"

#

i7 9700k

#

rtx 2080 super all low settings

#

getting delays 100% cpu and lag spikes

next onyx
#

Video settings don't affect your CPU.

#

Your GPU is fine as it is.

glass shard
#

then why am i having 100% cpu

next onyx
#

It's just that you will need a new CPU with hyperthreading.

#

Because this game demands your CPU more than your GPU.

glass shard
#
  • in graphics settings in windows i set it as "performance"
next onyx
#

Graphics don't affect CPU like I said.

#

That's your GPU's job.

glass shard
#

but why 100% cpu

pine roost
#

Cause 2042

next onyx
#

Cause this game is more CPU intensive than any other battlefield title.

glass shard
#

yeah fuck this

next onyx
#

Mh.

pine roost
#

Although I’ve not checked how much of my cpu is being used now I think about it

next onyx
#

Yeah I never did until season 3.

#

When they upped the usage.

#

I do wish they had an option for lower end CPU's.

#

Cause they pretty much flipped a switch that can't be turned off unless through user.cfg.

glass shard
#

i changed stuff in user.cfg

pine roost
#

64 player modes feel like they run better most of the time

patent path
#

ye

next onyx
#

Yeah they would.

patent path
#

128 modes fries my cpu

pearl ridge
#

Ah crap not marksman kills

next onyx
#

128p just places unnecessary stress on it.

pine roost
#

Honestly, go back to 64 players pls

glass shard
#

man if i didnt change user.cfg settings id be running 50 fps now im at 120fps but rip cpu

next onyx
#

64p is DICE's bread and butter and it wasn't worth the sacrifice.

pine roost
#

If people can’t run the game because of it then that’s not ideal

patent path
#

well not anymore, since I repasted recently and it runs at 80c at 100%, but still my cpu is too weak for 128

pine roost
#

I’m too scared to re paste my cpu

next onyx
#

My 5600x hit 96% usage and I had to turn on XMP.

#

It was that bad.

patent path
#

why do you ask me haHAA

#

I don't know

next onyx
#

Mhhhh

pine roost
#

One reason why battlebit is doing so well I’d say, so many people can’t run 2042 and battlebit offers a somewhat similar experience that basically anyone can play

next onyx
#

Pretty much. It's a more accessible squad.

#

People say it replaces battlefield but it really doesn't.

#

Unless large battles is all they're looking for without any semblance of actual balance.

pine roost
#

All these kinds of games - Xdefiant, battlebit etc - that claim to be the X franchise killer simply won’t

next onyx
#

The gun variety is cool but that's about it.

pine roost
#

It’s like another football game coming along claiming to beat fifa

#

Like, it just won’t happen

next onyx
#

Then that soccer game dies.

#

Which cause of course it does.

lean lagoon
#

people are sheep. they like to follow

next onyx
#

These games are massive for a reason.

#

I mean positive press gets more people to buy it's always been like that.

#

Even playing it myself I was glad it was just a functional game with a functional server browser and stuff we've come to accept from battlefield.

pine roost
#

It was fun during the tests but not something I’d invest time into

#

But it’s by no means a bf killer

next onyx
#

I'm not gonna say it's superior cause fuck no. It's its own game, But it had a bunch of features from battlefield that we are familiar with that we miss. Like a server browser, Proper squad management and working mouse input.

lean lagoon
#

enlisted is pretty fun tbh. even with the bots

pine roost
#

Yeah just consider it it’s own game, cause that’s what it is

patent path
#

I wish 2042 had supression

#

I miss it haHAA

glass shard
#

imma go download v or 1

pine roost
#

A mish mash of different mechanics from various games

next onyx
#

You'll miss it less than your gun will, Cats.

patent path
#

spraying 200 rounds with my m240B with supression puts some hair on my chest

next onyx
#

In this shitty landscape.

#

An indie game has so much to lose these days versus some "AAA" game that launches a half baked live service.

lean lagoon
#

if modern games worked, no one would ever sing their praises about fixing the game on the interwebs tho

next onyx
#

Cause it rides off brand recognition and a publisher that can actually finance it.

pine roost
#

I mean armoured core 6 has recieved praise for the simple ability to choose exactly what colour you want on your mech. What does that say about games nowadays

next onyx
#

Ye.

#

Lack of choice.

pine roost
#

Restrictions for the sake of monetary gain later on

next onyx
#

And we go unheard because it's not profitable to be convinient.

lean lagoon
next onyx
#

It's more profitable to be a pain in the ass to your customers/consumers, etc.

#

Let people customise their gun the way they want. Lemme put Neon green Zebra on my m16 cause overall who gives a fuck.

#

It's why people are having fun on older CODs because they are actually fun.

lean lagoon
#

used to be like that. and then people started asking companies for skins. and then they gave away their wallets

next onyx
#

I'd play black ops 2 if it weren't for input delay but that's besides the point.

#

I don't think it's entirely bad to sell skins but to pay money to solely get skins then it's a problem.

#

Premium currency should be easily attainable and allow the common player to buy a bundle they like.

#

And the prices of a bundle should be a simple transaction to influence sales.

lean lagoon
#

at the rates they go for its literal theft

next onyx
#

Bf5 had a really good shop despite my issues.

#

Cause the bundles had massive value.

#

Like oh you literally... fuck. 4 to 5 weapon skins, 2 soldier sets and a tank body set.

#

And considering the extent of bf5's customisation it had amazing value, All for 10 dollars I believe.

pearl ridge
#

God fuck canals

#

Worst map

next onyx
#

In this shop things are overpriced and really if you want to buy somehting, You really want to want it.

#

There's a bundle I have my eye on which involves Zain, The only operator I play as.

pine roost
#

They weren’t restricted to certain characters like 2042 skins were they

next onyx
#

Yeah no they weren't.

pearl ridge
#

If most players are bots it will become a steamroll within minutes because they can’t defend worth a damn

next onyx
#

They were instead to faction.

pine roost
#

So you don’t feel regret if one comes out that happens to be for someone you don’t play

pearl ridge
#

Also, bots really hate spotting drones

next onyx
#

Pretty much. It's literally just "Oh I don't like this skin" other than "This is a good skin!.. on an operator I don't even play"

#

And even if it was a style you didn't like. That was that.

pearl ridge
#

I’ve had every gun on a MAV shooting at my drone because they were all bots

next onyx
#

Hell they even sold ghillie suits which were 50K Company coin, Perfect for freenium players.

#

The American and German bundle was 50K CC.

#

The Japanese one was individual.

#

I think for 14.400?

pearl ridge
#

Ugh I hate those things in V

next onyx
#

It wasn't a super amount but it was pretty pricey, But didn't take a super long time if you knew what you were doing.

pearl ridge
#

Ugly as shit and did no favours for the game’s visibility issues

next onyx
#

They didn't really change much.

pearl ridge
#

Plus nobody even used them for sniping

next onyx
#

People hid in bushes the visibility was about the same.

pearl ridge
#

Just ran around in the middle of a city looking like an idiot

next onyx
#

It was pretty funny to run the wookie suit with the FG42.

#

And the fact that I had the option was nice.

#

They just need to re add my BF5 FG42 into this game with a 30 rounder and I'll be a happy support.

static sequoia
#

is 2042 working again?

next onyx
#

Yeah the servers are now operational.

static sequoia
#

thanks

solid imp
#

Way, 2042 wasn't profitable and won't be EA's meter stick in terms of how to release a game for the next few years

remote bison
#

I Wish 2042 was released today not 2021

solid imp
#

In the sense of releasing a broken game because it's more profitable.. that was definitely not the case here

#

They lost estimated $100M

patent path
#

lol after that match of rush xl my cpu didn't even reach throttling temp, it just couldn't handle 128 players. Big sad

remote bison
#

really? i tought they made good money cause they had good marketing

solid imp
#

Stock dipped and FIFA saved their earnings reports

pine roost
#

Pre orders can only take you so far

#

In this case word got around fast

#

Even the beta was enough for many people to lose interest

remote bison
solid imp
#

I don't think I'm being optimistic in saying that for once leadership will take a lesson from this one

patent path
#

squad is not heavier than 2042

solid imp
#

It hit the wallet

remote bison
#

larger maps
more details

drowsy shuttle
pine roost
#

I want to be optimistic too, I try to be in most cases. What with Vince having a greater impact on the game’s development as well as the simple fact that they learnt a lot from this im hoping something comes from it

next onyx
#

Honestly.

#

Unless they can show it.

#

"AAA" quality will mean unfinished, buggy garbage.

solid imp
patent path
#

larger but not really. It doesn't have more details, textures are copy-pasted all over, buildings are simple, terrains are simple, no map physics

#

graphically squad is also an uglier game

next onyx
#

Excuse the fact that I don't have any optimism cause of this industry. I don't mean to sound rude in how I present my self at all.

remote bison
pine roost
#

Nah I think that’s a pretty universal take regarding all this

pearl ridge
#

Doesn’t look like anyone’s playing tonight. Must’ve been drawn off by the server problems

patent path
#

reworked, still ugly

next onyx
#

I'm just trying to convey how I've observed this shit industry. Look at Diablo 4. They had a great, functional game with a questionable end game. That's ok. But the most recent patch ruined the damn game in order to pad out time from their playerbase because... Yay?

remote bison
#

i was expecting 2042 to have destruction 10x more than bf4

#

but its 2x less

#

the biggest thing is that tornado

pearl ridge
#

And tornados are overplayed and just annoying

remote bison
#

or the boat's wall on that indian map

next onyx
pine roost
#

The more destruction you have the worse maps play out

next onyx
#

OH FUCK I HAVE TO RECHARGE MY METRO CARD.

#

EEEE

drowsy shuttle
#

Funny enough, EA almost ruined 2 franchises with their disney/fortnite vision... I mean who got the idea to give cartoonish smoke and other cartoonish driving visuals to need for speed unbound? I don't wanna play Mario kart... was the candy crush guy responsible for bf 2042 and need for speed unbound?

next onyx
#

I've heard stories how troubled development has been.

pine roost
#

Doubt it

next onyx
#

For this.

#

It makes me feel sad for the actual developers themselves because the ones I've known are total sweethearts.

#

These people are capable of doing great things.

remote bison
#

in BF3 we had voice lines that made you fear war
in 2042 a korean girl comes into the screen and smiles

pine roost
#

I’ve got no clue what actually happened though, and I’d rather not assume

next onyx
#

Leadership needs to actually be competant.

#

Yeah.

pine roost
#

I’ve heard things too but I can’t be certain it’s 100% accurate

#

Like the whole BR thing, I don’t buy it

next onyx
#

It probably wasn't going to be a BR but probably infact something much, much different.

#

I can't say I give a shit about specialists but when it ruins faction and gameplay balance I can't say I want it back.

#

Cause I love their interactions.

#

I genuinely love it.

But only as a squadmate between the 2

There was another one with Crawford.

I can't really comment on Iwo jima cause I was the one that sat in the Zeroes farming all day.

#

None of this is wrong. BUT. Inventing realism and grit from nothing is always going to be harder than recreating well-documented and emotional experiences that have actually happened

next onyx
#

The no pat leader or something.

ebon pilot
#

He's the leader of the largest No-Pat force and has been stealing US climate manipulation tech to create a new nation for the No-Pats

remote bison
#

so why are we as no pats fighting him

ebon pilot
#

because we didn't actually know what he was doing in S1-4 / he's instigating war between the US and RU

robust vapor
#

Oz is a worm

next onyx
#

It makes no sense cause he wants to destroy no pats. Yet the U.S still employs like lol.

ebon pilot
#

Oz wants to watch the US and RU destroy themselves

#

But the US and RU also don't want to do that so they're just having proxy wars using the No-Pat groups in exchange for supplies and food and such

remote bison

this game really needed story mode

so no pats are like feminists

# remote bison so why are we as no pats fighting him

lore wise it's stated in the exodus short film, Irish had to give the satellite coordinates to Oz from the wreckage but only became familiar with what it was once he got it, he didn't know he was wanting it to start a war between the US and RU, ergo, there was a split faction

#

the game is a preamble to 2142's lore, the weather device still fails and the world freezes over

It was weird.

#

It's literally in the plot of 2142.

remote kiln
next onyx
#

A new ice age came to envelop the world with the EU and PAC fighting over land that's still habitable.

mental delta
next onyx
#

RU uses the reclaimed facility for tank production and the U.S found a trace signal.

remote kiln
#

no it's literally always been connected

next onyx
#

There's more than that but I don't really care. It's just this plot that's never explained to us.

#

2142 may of not taken place on another planet so it really depends.

#

Cause originally it was apparently to be set like that.

#

And the U.S was replaced with the EU.

mental delta
next onyx
#

It's easy to assume the U.S is NOT a super power in 2142.

#

Some random train full of cargo got derailed and that's as much as we know.

mental delta
#

That sucks lol

#

Would be better to not bring context if it's as bad as Reclaimed context

next onyx
#

If the story was more explicitly told more people would care.

ebon pilot
#

this implies people care about the lore of battlefield

mental delta
#

They should just say they're done with the Lore of this game which sucks anyway because it didn't get a campaign and everyone would get on with it lol

next onyx
#

But in the end of the day it's just a map to fight on with very little context that a small portion of the community will uncover.

it's been retconed like 3 times already, needs to be ambiguous or it'd be worse

Never had any issues starting or playing BF2042.

After the most recent update it would sometimes take 3-5 attempts opening the game, for it to even try to start.

Now it opens every time I click to play, but I get stuck on the “connecting to online services” screen every time I load up the game.

I have verified the integrity of my game files twice. Uninstalled and reinstalled once and none of the above have helped.

Has anyone else experienced this issue, or know how to solve it?

# ebon pilot unless it's Rao. nothing explains all the things his back gadget does

I've made a Rao guide.

A Guide to Rao's Hack Gadget:

The hack gadget allows players to "hack" stuff. This works based on line of sight and works through smoke from a range of 100-200m depending on target. When a target is hacked it spots every enemy around it in a 10m radius and reveals them briefly.

Rao's gadget can hack 3 distinct classes of target, each with different effects:

Infantry
Vehicles
World interactables

Going from simplest to most complex, world interactables when hacked will simply be activated like if you activated their terminal. Vehicle blockers will be raised or lowered depending on what state they're currently in. Programmable doors (doors which can be given a team affiliation to open or close automatically) will be assigned to your team. These are hacked almost instantly and can be hacked up to 100m away.
This also applies to most gadgets and different gadgets react differently to being hacked. Explosive gadgets like AT mines, claymores, and C5 will just disappear when hacked. Spotting gadgets like TUG-S or Blasco's infiltration beacon will stop working for a brief period, as well as spawn beacons and Irish's shootdown sentinel. Casper's drone can be hacked to make it stop moving, allowing you to shoot it. Ranger drones also become immobile and can't shoot.

Vehicles take the longest to hack and can be hacked up to 200m away. When hacked, it spots all players in the vehicle, damages all parts of the vehicle (making it harder to gain acceleration, steer, move the main gun, etc), and paints the target for lock-on like SOFLAM. On stealth helicopters, this also brings them out of stealth mode. Anyone in the vehicle weapon station has an EMP effect applied to their screen. This effect lasts for 7 seconds and afterwards the target has a firewall that prevents hacking them again for 10 seconds.

Infantry take about .5 seconds to hack and can be hacked up to 100m away. When hacked, all enemies around the target are spotted and revealed for one second through all obstacles including walls and smoke. The hack effect (but not the reveal) lasts 7 seconds. During that time, the player has a warning indicating they're hacked and has an EMP effect on screen. If the hacked player dies during this, the rest of their squad is revealed through walls to you and your squad for the remainder of the hack.
