[weak vector]

is it just me, or is heli gameplay pretty bad?

[sick yacht]

there shit as not loadin in, the wheels are literal squares

[sick yacht]

even on ultra, any1 know a fix?

[chilly jacinth]

Do you have the game on an ssd or hdd

[arctic grove]

heli and jet gameplay is atrocious

plus with amount of anti air why even bother with either

[clear zephyr]

👉 👈

[frigid cedar]

Why is audio so fuxking bad in this game? Like i cant hear direction of vehicles, they just appear, the enemy footsteps sound everywhere around me, like i know they are somewhere near me BUT I CANT FKING TELL exactly where, im using stereo headset with stereo ingame setting, every other fps works fking fine and i can pinpoint enemies with my eyes closed???

[merry heart]

ah

AC42 feels so good to use

[merry heart]

vehicle audio in this game is so atrocious yeah

[frigid cedar]

Sometimes i hear enemy from miles away, but they sound like they are up my ass amd i panic as fuck

[quiet shell]

Oh thats a new bug. If you shoot lis's missile into out of bounds during the fallback stage, the out of bounds count down sticks to you and kills you

[calm bison]

Well then just like

Don’t fly the missile out of bounds

Duh

[warm stirrup]

Mw3 adds bots to public matches

https://youtu.be/jQwupnJ3LIM?si=7IBQT887mi5QJepJ

Bots are used for balancing sbmm apparently

[arctic grove]

Interesting, you think you could post this in #other-games since I mentioned this last night as well?

[final lintel]

lol

[final lintel]

so crispy

[merry heart]

k

gonna get some cheese ass kills with the MCS with Paik

[final lintel]

nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo, dont join the dark side

[gloomy wyvern]

If only I could train Ai... they'd learn the guy 800m out looking at them with a knife isn't a threat & they can pick you up...

[gloomy wyvern]

The exact reason I will be pushing revives when Ai is present

[fossil herald]

bruh are we finally getting a proper ccip for heli and jet rockets?

no way

the current crosshair is so off sometimes

the only vehicle crosshair that never lies is the stealth heli bombs reticle

dont know why this is as in bf5 the unguided rockets and cannons go exactly on your crosshair whether your in 1st or 3rd person

probably has something to do with the game engine change and the old coding logic from bf5 being thrown out

[gray comet]

If AI were trained on player behavior they wouldn’t revive at all

Unlike teammates they actually resupply you as well

[lilac dust]

When does the patch release?

[drowsy rose]

I found

Such a harassing combo

EMP nades with C4

is giga cancer

[gloomy wyvern]

If they were trained by myself they would...I'm within the top 0.9% of revives

I also provid supplies every revive

[gray comet]

If nobody got me I know PFC. R. BROWN [AI] got me

Can I get a amen

[drowsy rose]

Honestly the bots sometimes get SUPER GOOD

bot farming is annoying when they 1HK you randomly with AT launchers

[sudden barn]

Hey guys, could I get some tech help? BF2042 doesn't open no matter how I open it and just "pretends" to launch before reopening the EA app and doing nothing. I've tried updating drivers, running as admin, verifying game files,; everything short of reinstalling the game. Could anyone help?

[drowsy rose]

Delete the easy anti-cheat folder and let it reinstall

[gray comet]

Bot with 0.02% accuracy engaging deadeye the second the 84mm comes out

[sudden barn]

Ok thx

Trying now

[drowsy rose]

Usually it's an EAC problem

[sudden barn]

Is it in the game's files? Or is it somewhere else on my pc?

[drowsy rose]

Honestly

I dont know

💀

[sudden barn]

Ok lol i'll look

[drowsy rose]

In the files

think its in game files or docs

[sudden barn]

There's an EA anti cheat

I don't see an Easy

Unless that's the same thing

[gloomy wyvern]

That's another reason why I refuse to go to PC... Fucking anti cheat hates my antivirus

I have no interest in leaving my system vulnerable so I can play a game

[sudden barn]

For real

[drowsy rose]

What anto virus

EAC just sometimes just breaks FNR

[sudden barn]

I'm just gonna verify the game files again

On steam

[gloomy wyvern]

Every anti cheat system out there hates all antiviruses

That is, unless you're using a crypto miner like Norton

Mind you you're not getting any of the money from the crypto miner

[sudden barn]

I've had zero issues with anti-cheats but I also don't use anythig but the Windows anti-cheat

[gloomy wyvern]

Because Norton doesn't provide anything other than data mining off of you

[clear zephyr]

[carmine minnow]

uh how do you get bf coins for free

i just got 100 from unknown sources lol

oh nvm it was from free bp

[deft tinsel]

recon was my most played class in bf1 and bfv, i liked to be a ptfo ironsight sniper

my god it is so utterly shit in 2042

good thing i can use othher weapons so thhat i can still at least use caspers spotting stuff

[queen dagger]

just had one of the games ever on breakthrough

70-0 with 17 revives

[deft tinsel]

i don't think you can lmao

[carmine minnow]

bp

[deft tinsel]

huh?

[hexed granite]

would it be okay to ask some stuff here?

need some help

[quaint vector]

Yes

[hexed granite]

I'm playing BF 2042 for the first time, and the game has only been showing me this video on loop for the past 5 ish minutes

it's showing me like a lab, the earth, and stuff

and it has been on this constant loop, for forever now

what is wrong with this game

?????

[deft tinsel]

i think someone else had this problem too, idk how they resolved it though

[quaint vector]

Restart or anything to press.?

[hexed granite]

prior to opening the game, I was met with a black screen that mabe lasted for 5 whole minutes

I just alt+f4'ed the game

Imma reopen it

[deft tinsel]

@hexed granite from reddit:

Apparently it's onedrive.

I opened up bf2042 for the first time in months today and after having to install the stupid EA games thing and launch it through there and updating my graphics drivers, I was faced with an infinitely looping intro cinematic.

Turning off onedrive fixed it for me.

do you have onedrive?

[hexed granite]

yeah I think so

but I think I'm not signed in

[latent gulch]

Whaddup Im an American trying to play bf 2042 (ps5) from Dubai but since the servers are region locked 🙄 I literally can’t find lobbies for conquest with more than 2 people.

Joined here so I can find eu players I can join sessions with since my ping still would be fine

[deft tinsel]

if it's not a hassle, try turning it off maybe

have you tried reinstalling the game?

[hexed granite]

I just got it installed

[latent gulch]

Thanks, hopefully this workaround is fruitful

[deft tinsel]

try validating game files as well

there doesn't seem to be a concrete solution to this

[hexed granite]

I haven't even played the game yet and I'm starting to hate it

[deft tinsel]

OK so note sure if this is a 100% fix or will work for everyone but I think that running the game from the desktop shortcut was causing this problem for me strange as that sounds. I went into steam and launched the game from my games list and it worked.

[hexed granite]

I launched my game in steam

[deft tinsel]

try validating game files first

[hexed granite]

does that take long

OH

it worked

finally

[deft tinsel]

what helped? or did it start working by itself lol

[deft tinsel]

depends on your internet ig

[hexed granite]

I just turned off onedrive in task manager

[deft tinsel]

and hdd/ssd space

[deft tinsel]

interesting, i wonder why onedrive is causing that

[hexed granite]

it's showing me new screens that were never shown earlier so I guess its working

now it's just a blue plus sign loading

or crosshair or box or whatever

[deft tinsel]

should work if you got it this far i think

[hexed granite]

now it's showing me a warning screen about playing

i guess it worked now

[deft tinsel]

you'll hate it even more when you get to play

it has its moments when people ptfo

it's very fun when that happens

[hexed granite]

do I need to do the tutorial...?

[deft tinsel]

not if you've played other BF games

[hexed granite]

well I have played BF3, 4, V, and 1

I wana skip this

[quaint vector]

Pause it and go to Menu

[deft tinsel]

yea you can skip

[deep pecan]

does the DMG with throwable grenades mission count Equiment damage too?

[lone void]

No it only counts throwable grenades

[deep pecan]

i mean

does it include Equipment destroy with EMP

or human target only

[lone void]

Does it do damage to the equipment?

[deep pecan]

EMP oneshot all equipment

[lone void]

The answer is yes

[deep pecan]

that's how you counter Irish

[lone void]

It does 1 damage but just has the special bonus of destroying equipment

[deep pecan]

1 out of 3000, got it

[lone void]

Same for vehicles, if it does damage to it, it counts

[deep pecan]

so might as well throw spring nade

[lone void]

Spring is good

Minis can get you a lot if you're throwing at groups

[deep pecan]

fuck irish tho

[lone void]

Real

[deep pecan]

his existence makes this mission miserable

[lone void]

Incendiary funny too

If Irish is a particular issue for you, I'd be tempted to play Casper so you can EMP the sentinel with the drone

[lean temple]

i love EMPing placeables with the drone

it is so satisfying, especially if they just put it down

[hexed granite]

aight, time to play some conquest before doing my research project

[lean temple]

"mmm no spawn beacon for you today" (I have to settle for these because I am garbage at shooty shooty)

[deft tinsel]

i recommend playing falck with an ammo crate

you can heal teammates, drop ammo, revive

i'm new to 2042 and she has been the most fun to play as

[hexed granite]

okay, this game looks weird

or maybe its just me

[next onyx]

@lean temple Just rig spawn beacons with claymores.

[hexed granite]

the Bullet tracers look so flat

[lean temple]

that requires me to run to them

[next onyx]

You destroy the beacon and get a free kill out of it.

True but they're fun.

[lean temple]

this is true

[hexed granite]

how do I opent he server browser

[lean temple]

i love the folks that litter the ground with the ammo crates. more recon tools for me

[hexed granite]

performance wise, this game is hurting me 😢

what is wrong with this game

[deep pecan]

vcar is such a funny gun

idk if it's OP or not

[lean temple]

might be a peripheral? every now and then one of mine goes haywire and the whole game seizes up

or if you just mean you run slower than others, there's a "double sprint"

that's an odd one. never seen that

[vast wind]

for recon drone zoom button it is possible to change to toggle for zoomm?

zoom

[deft tinsel]

800 ticket difference loss

why is the in game text chat so inactive

sadge

[stone cradle]

Why is VHX getting nerfed

Completely fine

[spare quest]

They always nerf the new weapons, you should know that already

[stone cradle]

[deft tinsel]

bro wtf are these moves the chopppers do

i can not hit them with lis at all

[stone cradle]

Don't worry, DICE has a fix, nerfing Lis in response

[deft tinsel]

finally got someone ffs

[deft tinsel]

jesus

i'll only play infantry conquest lmao

dice always listens to flight simulator enthusiasts too much imo

[stone cradle]

Obviously some of the devs are bird mains

[spare quest]

[deft tinsel]

rocket model is so thin it can pass thru their rotor blades

[stone cradle]

Or you kill the pilot instead and get barely any xp

[deft tinsel]

what are they even going to nerf??

[chilly jacinth]

Nothing

[deft tinsel]

someone went 89-3 👀

sussy

[karmic tulip]

did they lose their virginity?

[deft tinsel]

idk game ended, couldn't ask

which dmr is best to play with (dont have g428 unlocked yet(

i'm using the dm7

[glacial quarry]

@untold flower playing?

@robust vapor

[untold flower]

yes

[glacial quarry]

@untold flower come join me

keep getting these trash teams

[untold flower]

wait im testing smth in 2077

[deft tinsel]

holy shit 54 - 0 ??

[glacial quarry]

ya but im in a tank

lost on first objective

[dawn nacelle]

Is it more efficient for me to grab my logi ribbons then bail to a new match to gain more?

[untold flower]

@glacial quarry logging on now

[robust vapor]

Bro next week

This week nah

[naive quiver]

Dok no time

Become a roast dok

[glacial quarry]

[untold flower]

@glacial quarry im gonna shower first brb

[glacial quarry]

aight

[untold flower]

that game was good

first point was bad tho

[deft tinsel]

my god man i tried to focus on being an AA player and it's boring as shit and barely even works to deter anyone

[glacial quarry]

@untold flower

[patent pivot]

then you'd hate being commander

[glacial quarry]

every team im in the players just leave and it doesnt fill

100% lose eventually

[untold flower]

@glacial quarry

im logging in

[glacial quarry]

im prob playing 1-2 more games then sleep already

[deft tinsel]

being punished for playing a needed role is what stops most players from playing their role, i think

by punished i mean putting maximum effort for very little gains

engineer ammo has to be upped to allow 1 person to be able to take down a vehicle IF they play like a god and somehow land every shot

because as it stands right now, you land every single shot then become useless free xp

[dawn nacelle]

Shhhh.... Don't advocate for better anti-vehicle capabilities. Every one will tell you its a skill issue

[patent pivot]

dont you hate it when you're on AA duty

and no air vehicles in sight

so you despawn and switch

then all of the sudden, you see air vehicles

[dawn nacelle]

Back in my day a lone engineer with a RPG-7 was enough to deter vehicles 👴

[patent pivot]

back in the day, so many people died and screaming in agony

now its the opposite

[dawn nacelle]

Well yeah, i can be on AT/AA duty all Match long, but as a individual player my contribution means nothing to the team. If anything I hinder progress. Even playing as Crawford the extra rocket is like a pity patch.

[patent pivot]

my gripe as before

you know

it happens

[dawn nacelle]

Sundance with C5 is better than the actual class thats meant to be doing anti-vehicle duty.

[deft tinsel]

yea that's my issue, i don't expect to singlehandedly kill vehicles or helis but man i feel completely useless

just watching the sky

[dawn nacelle]

locktone
pops flares
mows down a group of squads
flys away

Mix and repeat.

[deft tinsel]

yea

or my lis shot goes thru their rotor blade lmao

[mellow wave]

when does the battlepass end guys?

[dawn nacelle]

I played a lot of 3 and 4 during release week and throughoutthe years. I dont ever remember it being that bad

[deft tinsel]

with bf4 you were at least given more ammo no?

[dawn nacelle]

Engineers had 7 rockets with the explosives squad perk

[deft tinsel]

3 rockets for recoilless

4 if you pick useless crawford

[dawn nacelle]

Nothing like shooting 4 rockets into the side of any tank and them just shrugging it off like nothing

[deft tinsel]

does shooting them in the back even do more damage? or is it meaningless

i've been trying to do that

[dawn nacelle]

If it does, i haven't noticed

[deft tinsel]

me neither it's always 20 something

[dawn nacelle]

Bf3 and 4, one rpg7 into the rear was enough to cripple a tank. One additional rocket into it and it was a killshot

[deft tinsel]

im not even asking for a damage buff, just more rockets

if i do everything right why should i still be left without achieving anything at all

like not even scaring the tank

helos are just on an other level, idk how anyone who mains them complains

they farm kills like it's nothing

[dawn nacelle]

Hell when im playing tanks im less worried about who's shooting me on the ground.

I'm more worried about the spontaneous Sundance flying around with c5

[deft tinsel]

someone yesterday complained that several lis firing at them was annoying like jeez dude you're alone getting like 20 kills per run

[pine roost]

it does. Turn on damage counters on the hud

[deft tinsel]

i have it on, i haven't noticed anything higher than 20 something

does the distance matter?

[dawn nacelle]

Honestly I'm shooting so close it's pretty much suicidal

[pine roost]

But you have to realise that balancing all this is almost impossible in this environment. You have potentially 128 people in one match, and you have to balance it in such a a way as to consider the times where multiple people have rockets. Sure even I can agree it was easier to kill them in past titles, but with 64 people on a team they have to lesson the individual impact so that it isn't overwhelming when multiple go for it

if one person had 7 rockets and greater damage multipliers, that wouldn't be fun

[deft tinsel]

rarely do multiple teammates go for it unless they're in a premade squad lol

[deft tinsel]

as i said, i'd take more ammo and no dmg buff at all

[pine roost]

yeah that's one of the issues with trying to balance things in battlefield

[dawn nacelle]

The 128 player argument only works if everyone works together.

I've never seen a team work that well where rocket spam is a problem. If anything everyone is to busy lone wolfing to consider "we're being farmed by vehicles, we should switch to rockets"

[pine roost]

you cannot feasibly make something fun to use for an individual while not making it brutally overpowered with even a small group that is coordinated

[deft tinsel]

what's the point in balancing for a certain possibility and not how the game is actually being played?

[pine roost]

case in point, squad repairing the old transport aircraft

[deft tinsel]

i mean it's completely possible that 64 players pick engineer, and 32/32 pick AA/AT divide lol

[pine roost]

because there is no definition for how the game is played, it always varies from match to match

they have been making tweaks based on data and testing, but you still have to consider the possibilities

[deft tinsel]

don't the devs have access to some kind of statistics to decide on them?

[plush jay]

back when 2 rpgs in the back could actually finish the job
We need to go back

[dawn nacelle]

Exactly

[deft tinsel]

playing engineer feels useless and boring, that's a problem imo

[pine roost]

like when they made lis brutally overpowered against air. One user could take every aircraft out solo. Now she is weaker as a solo but 3 of them can clear the airspace with ease. it's the perfect example of this design philosphy

[plush jay]

problem with specialists than anything else

[deft tinsel]

with ease

why isn't it happening?

i don't really see that

[plush jay]

me neither

[patent pivot]

agree

[plush jay]

I'm almost always the only one going after air
or it really feels that way

[pine roost]

the only real way I can see them making engineers stronger as a solo is to return to 64 players and have maps that don't allow for constant lines of sight on everything

[dawn nacelle]

The problem is you need 3 player working together and coordinating

[deft tinsel]

90% of the time i've been playing either support or engineer lol

[dawn nacelle]

Unless you have a premade squad that isn't happening

[deft tinsel]

doing whatever the team isn't

[plush jay]

Agreed, that's an issue for both infantry and vehicles

[pine roost]

exactly

balancing for both isn't possible

[deft tinsel]

and when I ask and beg for help, ppl say "bruh you have X kills don't tell us what to do" like damn

[pine roost]

something that is strong for the user as a solo is broken in a small squad, something that isn't as potent in solo would then only be useful as a squad

so only certain players get to really enjoy it

it's been a constant tug of war that they've been dealing with since launch

and admitted it too during the last podcast

[plush jay]

took them long enough

[deft tinsel]

if it's only possible to cater to one side, why not the majority then

[plush jay]

but i mean we all knew it from the start

[pine roost]

yeah the design philosphy of the game at launch set the tone for why everything else felt odd

[dawn nacelle]

Past engineers were powerful solo. And even moreso in dedicated squads. But even as a past tank main in 3/4 it never felt under/overpowered on either side.

[deft tinsel]

someone on a tinpot heli can clear off waves of infantry players, but it's only unfair when the inf can actually scare the heli

i mean i'm biased since i don't use vehicles for anything other than transport or AA when I can/have to, not pretending i'm having a fair discussion lmao

[pine roost]

tanks back then had the mobility and turret pivot speed to make them agressive, even without the self heal they felt strong to balance the engineer strength

[calm acorn]

Why are they making battlepass only vehicles

[pine roost]

but in general, imagine trying to balance a situation where a game could have nobody at all using a rocket, or 16 people on one objective using a rocket

it's just not really possible

[deft tinsel]

i think one thing that can help is to literally FORCE people to play their role

[pine roost]

so of course they experiment

[pine roost]

that's the main way they've been balancing things since launch

[dawn nacelle]

I wanna see what would happen if they locked c5 away from mckay and Sundance

[pine roost]

classes, transport vehicle weapon overhauls, handling changes, vehicle count adjustments etc

[deft tinsel]

i mean lock things behind doing what your role is supposed to be

and limit the classes more, i keep forgetting that everyone can use whatever weapon they want then get surprised when a medic or engineer snipes me

[dawn nacelle]

Something something limiting player choice Something Something reeeeee

[pine roost]

I was more for bringing back weapon restrictions too, but in all honesty I don't think it's too bad

[deft tinsel]

yea well no other way to incentivize teamplay

[pine roost]

It's a shred of their initial game design

it has the inate effect of creating a sort of dynamic frontline structure, but the argument for people choosing classes for their weapon is definitely true

a necessary evil, I'd say

[deft tinsel]

it's a disadvantage, but i've kinda been limiting myself to whatever weapon makes sense for a classs

[dawn nacelle]

Same

Just feels right

[glacial quarry]

@untold flower did u crash

[pine roost]

Gadget restrictions, I'm 100% for. But in all honesty the lack of weapon restrictions allows classes to play in far more interesting ways

a recon that can actually play close up feels completely different to one using a long range weapon to set up flanking spawns

[untold flower]

no i left

boring ass match and that team was dogshit

the fucking heli didnt die a single time

idk wtf our engis were doing

fucking playing and smoking blunts at the same time probably

[dawn nacelle]

Hey look. A key example of our argument

[pine roost]

hehe

[untold flower]

fucking mentally handicapped fuckers

[pine roost]

thanks jett for the very timely interlude

[glacial quarry]

kek

[dawn nacelle]

Way to prove a point lmao

Wish there was an environment where the community could test things.....🤔

Could even shorten it to something like...CTE.....🤔

[pine roost]

that's called live matchmaking

would be nice to have it back

I hate it when some change goes live that takes weeks to fix because it is unanimously hated

drum mag pov

[dawn nacelle]

The whole game pov

[pine roost]

Honestly, my one hope is that what they learn from this is properly brought over to the next game

[dawn nacelle]

Hahahhahahahha

Hahhahahhahahahahahhahahhahahhahahahahahhaha

Nice one

[pine roost]

Yeah I know, chances are slim

Dice like to completely redo things for the next game

[glacial quarry]

lol we still won @untold flower

[pine roost]

It's good to keep things fresh, but annoying when they do so in the wrong direction

[spare quest]

next bf game will have 3 times the specialists

[pine roost]

like going from bf4 movement to bf1

my word, what a downgrade

[untold flower]

yeah bc its the last point on exposure

still boring as fuck

[glacial quarry]

idk it got quite exciting

[dawn nacelle]

Bf5 movement was peak

[glacial quarry]

was 98% captured and i wiped 4 ppl and saved the game

[dawn nacelle]

And i know it gets shit on. But i fucking loved the fortifications in 5

[glacial quarry]

i love it too

they should've put it in bf2042

guess they didn't want that ww2 feel in 2042

[dawn nacelle]

Im a support player at heart and it was nice being on the rear echlon just building shit for my team

[real venture]

I think you could give classes more options then, while still limiting classes to certain weapons. Give recon one or two close range weapons but maybe don’t give engi snipers

[pine roost]

I don't really think I've heard anyone criticise fortifications

it was a good system that was fairly intuitive

It only exemplifies the aspect of reshaping the terrain

[glacial quarry]

add v1 rockets back

[pine roost]

MORE SANDBAGS

MOAAARR

[dawn nacelle]

Rods of god

[glacial quarry]

they should let us summon tornados fr

isn't the whole lore behind 2042 that theres some weather control device

[pine roost]

"I once had a really nice burger, it was one of the best burgers I ever had" - Average 2042 lore snippet

[dawn nacelle]

Theres lore in 2042? I thought it was just a bunch of fan fiction from wattpad

[pine roost]

There is, but it only started to become a thing they worked on post launch, which is why it feels a bit disjointed

[dawn nacelle]

Not having a campaign really hindered it

And relying on codex entries didn't help either

[plush jay]

EA App down or something ? I Can't even log in rn

[dawn nacelle]

I cringed at the writing for Crawford giving mckay the VHX

[pine roost]

that's a thing?

bruh

[dawn nacelle]

Yes

[pine roost]

I've seen the stuff where it's like 'I saw boris deconstruct a gun before, that taught me to never get in his way when he deconstructing a gun'

[dawn nacelle]

Its so bad

[pine roost]

A lot of it I don't pay attention to

I don't play it for the lore

but it's there for the people who care

[bright canopy]

Crawford deserves to be imprisoned for this alone

[pine roost]

to some degree

[dawn nacelle]

I think you get the text when you get the first mastery for the VHX

I don't remember

I just remember coming across it and dying inside

"Crawford opened the crate and Mackay whistled in appreciation. "Nice. Where'd you get this gear?"

Oz and the Dark Market have been cutting a lot of deals lately. I saw new hardware coming through and got a little help for my friends." Crawford ran a finger down the muzzle. "And it's all yours."

"Thanks." Mackay picked up the rifle and let its weight settle in his hands. "I owe you one.""

💀

[arctic grove]

so what the fuck are you supposed to do if someone is on your six with jet in this game

just die? lmao

[pine roost]

if they are already behind you, you have lost

[arctic grove]

the sensitivity ratio is so ass i would need to have 1KM mousepad in order to actually pull up

[arctic grove]

yes because steering is very well done in this game

[pine roost]

you can try a rolling scissors or a split s to shake them off and get a better angle but for the most part you need to avoid that from happening in the first place

steering isn't ideal I will say, far too much lateral drift and accel, but in a jet you need to keep your eye out first to avoid those situations

[still vault]

Lead them to where you know you have people with rockets and AA and circle around there at low altitude

[pine roost]

assuming they don't kill you beforehand

[arctic grove]

pretty hard to avoid with 2 million sams on ground

[arctic grove]

you literally cannot pull up

not only is it not ideal it barely exists

[pine roost]

but if you have some seconds before they do, use cover to break LOS then turn to raise aspect

you can if you bind pitch up to a key

don't use the mouse to pitch up

[arctic grove]

the thrust for jets in this game is in negatives

[pine roost]

honestly they should make it that way by default

[arctic grove]

Why?

its easier

[pine roost]

it's really not

you just said yourself

you will have to constantly re-centre your mouse, and you lose out on finer adjustments mid flight

[still vault]

I use left alt for that, just hold the button to turn as tight as you can, easy peasy

[pine roost]

just use a key for big turns and mouse for when you actively want to track them

[pine roost]

don't forget yaw too ;)

[still vault]

That I don't do. I might be wrong not to though.

[glacial quarry]

what is a jet

never seen one of those before

[pine roost]

Definitely make it a habit to use yaw too

[dawn nacelle]

I was never much of a jet player due to the high skill players absolutely demolishing me. But the jets in 2042 feels like what i imagine drinking a whole bottle of everclear and then flying feels like.

[glacial quarry]

#breakthroughlife

[pine roost]

simply improves your turn rate with no downsides

[pine roost]

I assume drinking a full bottle of everclear is bad

[glacial quarry]

everclear sounds like some window cleaning spray product

[dawn nacelle]

High proof alcohol

[pine roost]

I thought it might be bleach

[glacial quarry]

i thought its like Windex

[arctic grove]

Oh yeah its 20x easier with a kb bind lmao

now it actually pulls up

[pine roost]

enjoy

[arctic grove]

any tips for helis?

[dawn nacelle]

Defy gravity and physics

[pine roost]

not too much besides simply putting time into flying inbetween stuff to get used to the controls

at the moment the stealth and nightbird are bugged to have constant flight assist, but the attack heli is finally free from it. So trying to be precise with the former two will be more irritating

but in general I'd say to play it a bit more safe and systematic

don't just fly straight to where you think people will be, kind of take the time to clear parts of the map by circling around zones and using cover to reduce your exposure, like you would as infantry

although it would definitely be worth it to set up a private portal match with no vehicle respawn timers

[low timber]

Who remembers how Dice proudly presented their system to disable stuff in game if they were completely broken?
For example the motion balls to check if they were causing the server issues near launch
Or Dozer shield reflecting tank shells back near launch as well?
And now I’ve seen the past few days players abusing the Redacted out of the map bug pretty much every match and Dice won’t bother to disable the spawn beacon which is the cause.

[quaint vector]

It should be patched in the Early December Update

[fossil herald]

hard to call it "abusing a bug" when literal ai bots manage to trigger the glitch too

[low timber]

Yeah and how many days is that?

[quaint vector]

[low timber]

They could flip the switch now to give a bandage fix for it, but no.

[fossil herald]

also it took them months to un-nerf the jets

that nerf was apparently caused by a "bug

remember anyone

when jets afterburners got their timer cut in half

effectively halfing the acceleration of all the jets

for months cause of a "bug"

[quaint vector]

Would love to see you fixing something then...

[fossil herald]

i did

i fixed the black screen bug that was happening to me

happened to me for weeks every single match i had to alt+f4

i dont know what i did but it doesnt happen any more

so i fixed it somehow lol

[quaint vector]

So you fixed the Black Screen bug for all players.?

I'm not talking only about you tho...

[fossil herald]

i hear it still happens to some people every game

[pearl ridge]

Honestly at this point I’d like them to disable certain gadgets on certain maps.

Specifically incendiary grenades on redacted.

Hell, cutting down explosive spam in general on that map might get people moving again

[rotund kite]

Incendiary nades kill you through walls and covers on redacted haha, maybe just fix the affect range of it

[pearl ridge]

They burn for way too long too

Completely locks down entire chokepoints for ages

And we really need a way to tell whether the flames are from the enemy or not.

Because all it takes is one guy piffing a grenade and suddenly both sides are stuck sitting there waiting it out because neither of them know whether they can advance

[rotund kite]

[sharp drum]

can someone help me fix an issue with battlefield v?

[fossil herald]

gotta love how the first thing dice does after getting data from people actually playing the game is nerf nerf nerf

[still vault]

The nerfs are what people focus on. The buffs here and there are mostly ignored

[sharp drum]

wait i think i have same issue for bf42 aswell

why i can't connect to servers

[fossil herald]

ea app breaks sometimes

you probably gotta reset it

[sharp drum]

nvm nvm

bf42 works

bfv isn't working even after restarting my pc

[lone void]

Servers could be offline for something

[sharp drum]

could it be hdd related problem?

because i downloaded bf5 to my hdd disk

[naive quiver]

Game supposed to be in SSD

[sharp drum]

you are telling me game never will launch?

it is been on black loading screen for minutes

[fossil herald]

works fine for me on my 6 year old hard drive

doesnt even have long loading times

[gray comet]

what got nerfed

[fossil herald]

liz's missile, mcs-880, vhs-2, g28

[gray comet]

how did I know Lis was getting nerfed

how did I know.

[fossil herald]

and they said they might nerf some ground vehicles too

but they are giving air vehicle a better reticle kind of like how it worked in bf5

[gray comet]

DICE be like we've noticed that the CAV Brawler is too strong, so to balance this we are nerfing Lis. TGM missile range is now 8 meters.

[fossil herald]

dont know how they messed up the bf5 aiming system for aircraft

[fossil herald]

they said something that they want to make it less strong against air vehicles but didnt give much details so who knows

all we know is that dice is nerfing the best engineer because they have no idea how to balance an engineer class

[gray comet]

honestly just make the missiles hitbox smaller but aircraft hitboxes less janky

like, a TGM 6 feet away from my Condor shouldn't hit for 28

[fossil herald]

engineer supposed to be anti vehicle right

why tf boris and crawfords gadgets are lmgs

[gray comet]

but if I send that missile through the rotors of a helicopter, logically it'd hit right?

[fossil herald]

that totally are worthless at anti vehicle

boris even more worthless than crawford

[gray comet]

Boris solely exists for people who want to look like Spetsnaz from 2008 with the funny steel dome helmet and the balaclava

[spare quest]

that shit never happens to me, but my tgm rockets are bouncing off vehicles every now and then

[fossil herald]

dice dev probably shot down a nightbird once with crawfords lmg and was like "oh yeah he will be a perfect engineer"

[spare quest]

fun stuff

[gray comet]

yeah sometimes they do no damage

[pine roost]

Engineer specialty gadgets don’t need to be, they simply are built around having some kind of mechanical construction

[gray comet]

sometimes they completely miss but the comically large hitbox on the missile means it hit

also, missile hitbox size actually prevents you from firing from cover most of the time

[spare quest]

yep

[gray comet]

unless you want to hit yourself for 60 and waste a missile

[spare quest]

happens to me alot

[fossil herald]

also you still cannot use liz's missiles at all in the bot only mode

the lower tickrate makes the camera break

[pine roost]

Makes a lot of things break

[gray comet]

they gave us one actual engineer character, then nerfed her to shit. Why

[spare quest]

because helis obviously need a buff

so they nerf lis

[pine roost]

She has always been a tough one to balance

[spare quest]

[pine roost]

She’s been through so many phases it’s mad

[spare quest]

She's fine rn

[fossil herald]

mi24 has no problem dodging liz's missiles if the pilot is paying attention

its a little harder in the condor but possible if you switch vtol mode at the right tim

[gray comet]

the magic school bus is impossible to hit because the missile has the turning radius of a small moon

condor hitbox is bs, you gotta switch flight mode perfectly to outmaneuvre.

[fossil herald]

liz is only a threat to nightbirds, stealth helis, and 1 man attack choppers

[gray comet]

I can dodge them in Stealth somewhat easily, but they are satisfying to shoot down

[fossil herald]

or idk maybe a attack heli with 1 person could get away with surviving a liz missile

oh yeah they are super funny to shoot down

anything with a minigun is easiest

so mi24 and condor side gunners are supposed to be like the ciws if the crew is working together

[gray comet]

they rarely are. Condor pilot speaking, gunners are usually um

whats a polite word that wont get me muted

[fossil herald]

and brawler i like to have a minugun seat just in case

[pine roost]

Less than good

[gray comet]

Inattentive

Thats it

[fossil herald]

also using liz to troll snipers is hilarious

[pine roost]

Very gentlemanly of you

[fossil herald]

thats my favorite thing to do with her, not go after vehicles

[gray comet]

Lol nice bolt action nerd

[fossil herald]

hopefully they dont mess with the range of the rocket

[pine roost]

I reckon they’ll probably just make it more effective against tanks

[copper ice]

massive g428 nerf lmao

[gray comet]

Thats how I use her in infantry breakthrough. Free 2-3 kills

[gray comet]

What’d they do

Reduce range?

[fossil herald]

cause they can do whatever with the maneuverability or speed but as long as it stays 475m then its gonna be fine

[fossil herald]

yeah

and damage

[royal swan]

Why is the map experience on coop so fucking ass

Like why is shit lagging

[pine roost]

Dunno

[gray comet]

Lmao all thats doing is forcing it into an ever closer range role

[royal swan]

Why is the animation fucked

[pine roost]

Even recoil breaks

[sharp drum]

the bf42 or v?

[copper ice]

Went from 40m 2hk to 20m 2hk

[royal swan]

Why only on coop

[gray comet]

G28 PDW Meta

[fossil herald]

both games

[spare quest]

https://fxtwitter.com/BattlefieldComm/status/1729630493967065410

[sharp drum]

i can run other games on hard drive without problem

[copper ice]

Thats a huge decrease

[fickle wharf]

25hz servers lmao

[royal swan]

What does coop do to the game that nearly kills itself

[pine roost]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[sharp drum]

but the game it is just legit not loading

i've waited for like 10 minutes nothing happens

[gray comet]

VHS2 nerf is honestly a little welcome. I like that gun but its a bit busted

[sharp drum]

it is just black screen with loading going on

[fossil herald]

low tickrate

also it makes the recoil of every gun feel wierd too just from the tickrate

[remote kiln]

you arent going to be able to run 2042 on a HDD either without stuttering or other issues, HDD's are not reliable for gaming anymore, you physically wont be able to run modern games optimally with them either

[sharp drum]

bf42 is on m2

[pine roost]

Might be the infamous black screen

[sharp drum]

i just ran out of space and installed bf5 to old hard drive

[pine roost]

Is this just booting the game up or after a match?

[fossil herald]

the only issue i have on hard drive is a little stuttering on the first load of every map, and maybe a longer load timeon the first load too

but thats it

[sharp drum]

i bought the game

installed it

[fossil herald]

once the first load of the map happens then its buttery smooth and fast loading time on a hdd

[sharp drum]

tried to run and nothing happened

bf5*

bf42 runs smoothly without any problem

[fossil herald]

bf5 i found i had to run in directx12 to get it to work right

2042 is defaultly in directx12

but thats what the stuttering on the first load of the maps is caused by i heard

[slim basalt]

Had to ditch the b450 mb and ryzen 5 2600 and upgrade just to run bf2042

[pine roost]

Same here

[fossil herald]

directx 12 stuttering on the first load of maps isnt that bad actually an upgrade of what happenes when i run bf5 in directx11

[pine roost]

After 5 years with the same pc it was worth an upgrade

[slim basalt]

Still hurts

[fossil herald]

cause directx11 is just constantly lower fps and constant stuttering no matter if its the first load or not

and the particle effects and textures just look worse

[sharp drum]

i think i will never find answer to my issue 😭

[plush echo]

skill issue perhaps

[storm elbow]

I liked the new game mode we had for some weeks ago. I think some People would like to play and keep it. But i think its not coming back

[royal swan]

Man attacking calling the team shit when they lose on exposure bt on the final sector is the stupidest shit ever

Like at that point they must realize how utter terrible the devs did their job on remaking the exposure bt layout

[plain hamlet]

that’s just shit talkers

always low leaderboards players anyways

[jagged wigeon]

I think the new changes is not good for increasing the players base

who is agree

[tacit sphinx]

what new changes

[mighty holly]

Sounds about right

[fossil herald]

the zombies mode was stupid

should have been 64 players on one team and 64 of those zombie bots on the other

or idk maybe have less players than the zombie bots? but there should have been a lot more zombies like only a few times did i find myself running in a circle away from a horde call of duty style

or like maybe they should have made it a wave survival type thing

but havint to run around like its a mini conquest and capture objectives was kinda slow and boring with only 12 players on each team

[patent pivot]

meanwhile, dice forgotten rush 64 existed

[pine roost]

Honestly making it a larger playercount would be at least somewhat interesting

🗒️#Battlefield2042 Update 6.2 - Air Vehicle Impact Improvements🗒️

With Update 6.2, we'll be rolling out computed impact points that take into consideration several factors such as Vehicle Velocity, Angular Velocity, Gravity, and Drag to draw an accurate impact point of up to 300m.

We'll also align the Vehicle Crosshair on all cameras that are available on Air Vehicles with this point, ensuring that player crosshairs are as accurate as they can be.

This feature will behave as a reliable impact point on vehicles with one weapon such as Jets.

However, Air Vehicles that feature two weapons under their wings like the MD540 Nightbird will perform slightly differently.

We'll calculate the distance on both of the weapons and come to an average of both which defines the impact point.

All of this is with the intent of improving player readability and allowing you to anticipate your hits with greater precision.

--
As always, the team will continue to review player feedback and stats once this update goes live.

Keep sharing your voice, and we'll see you on the Battlefield!

rush 64v64 was so much more fun than the zombie mode

[patent pivot]

hell nah

that's too much

where's my 32v32 rush

[fossil herald]

it was so fun though

[patent pivot]

WHERES 64

[fossil herald]

crawfords minigun actually works on rush xl 64v64

[pine roost]

oUT oF ROtiAtiOn

[patent pivot]

out of all the game modes they created

they didn't do 64 version

ARE THEY BLIND?

[fossil herald]

also i called it didnt i
as soon as i heard there was gonna be "improved reticles" i was like oh were getting a consistently computed impact point

[patent pivot]

game continues to make new versions with bare minimum content

[fossil herald]

nah they are just finally bringing back a system from bf5

[patent pivot]

that's just the MVP screen

[fossil herald]

somehow 2042 air vehicle developers forgot about bf5 ccip

all the bombs reticles was almost pinpoint accurate, but it really just showed a rng circle but still it was like a ccip

[pine roost]

I mean, it was one of the most requested things in the feedback post, something that the lead vehicle designer openly said is something they would like to add

but it's very welcome

[fossil herald]

bf1 had pinpoint accurate rockets, bombs, and aircraft cannons

[pine roost]

although I would still prefer them to return to a centralised projectile origin point

[fossil herald]

somehow when they "changed the engine" they scrapped the feature

[pine roost]

this is the best of both worlds

[fossil herald]

but now instead of being rng it should be truely pinpoint accurate and convergence set to 300m

[patent pivot]

something that's embarrassing

[fossil herald]

you should be able to snipe from 600 maybe 1000+ meters with helis rockets now

300m crosshair just means the convergence of weapons on both sides of the aircraft

so liz nerf and huge heli buff

lmao

[pine roost]

the tweet is actually a bit confusing

[fossil herald]

but for real sometimes if your moving fast in a heli in 2042 rn its literally impossible to use the unguided rockets cause of how innacurate the crosshair is

unnaceptable for aircraft supposedly 19 years in the future

ccip has been a thing since the 1970s

it was one of the things that made flying helis in this game feel so wierd and bad to a lot of people

[pine roost]

since there isn't going to be a dual crosshair for aircraft with two weapon pods, you will still have to manually consider convergeance for close and far targets

I was kinda hoping they'd have a dual crosshair since the reason the single one worked in say, bf4, is because everything fired from centre

[fossil herald]

it should account for vehicle movement still, which it never did before

[pine roost]

Yeah the number of times they fly above when you are going down gets frustrating as learning it is a pain

it's oftentimes nonsensical

so this is very welcome

now let's see if we can push them to ditch the model based projectile origins and do what the portal helis do

from a balance standpoint I can see why it's a thing, but who knows. They are always asking for feedback

[fossil herald]

when are we gonna get some kind of bombs for the 2042 jets

[pine roost]

never

[fossil herald]

now that they have this ccip situation ironed out maybe

[pine roost]

they don't intend on adding bombs

[fossil herald]

they should

[pine roost]

the jets in this game aren't designed for that, rockets are the best aoe we will get

[fossil herald]

bf5 it was nice flying the fighters and being able to carry 1 small bomb

you werent as good a bomber as the bigger planes but you could still help the team

im not saying i want the f35 to be able to carry 2000lb jdams like irl

but maybe idk like a 250 or 500lb option would be nice

[pine roost]

I get what you mean, but the jet isn't meant to be at all useful for large scale infantry killing

which is why the rockets are far weaker than the ones that were in bf5, for instance

[fossil herald]

they only really were weak because of the inaccuracy

which new crosshair should fix

and at least the f35 is designed to be a fighter bomber so it should be able to do some infantry killing

su57 is arguable

not really much is known but i know in ace combat you can carry bombs with it

[pine roost]

Thinking about it, these changes will actually make the jets better infantry killers with the main guns

[near silo]

DICE really nerfing all the wrong things.

[spare quest]

the weapon nerfs are fine

[naive quiver]

Dice did something to be proud of themselves, which was to keeps redacted conquest 24/7

[frosty mural]

are the patch notes out or what

[near silo]

I can’t stand redacted back to back.

Conquest 64 24/7 is the best thing dice could of done

[spare quest]

if u get it order it with red onions

its actually literally S tier

I can’t necessarily infer 2042 as an example but say the mw2 m4, I still like it cause it’s the m4 despite nerfs

Playing guns just for the highest damage or whatever has me like

be gigachad super 500 main

[arctic grove]

I actually did run that ngl

It was either that or the drum mag Glock cause I was lazy and during season 4 2042 didn’t have any interesting sidearms

[queen dagger]

its the only gun i use nowadays

i have 12,000 kills with the super500 and counting 🫡

[merry coral]

does this game have fsr / dlss?

i dont see an option for any upscaling

welp it seems from a bit of research its not in the game. what a shit ass game lmao

[spare quest]

ok

[merry coral]

am i wrong?

[spare quest]

yes and no

[next onyx]

"I play with the scar because I love it. You play with it because it's meta. We are not the same"

[arctic grove]

[rotund kite]

it does have dlss, don't know about fsr, but probably it has fsr too

[remote kiln]

it doesnt have FSR

[merry coral]

yeah for some reason fsr isnt in lmao

[last willow]

Can't you do it at the driver level?

AMD Control Panel > Gaming Tab > Graphics > Radeon Super Resolution.

[merry coral]

nah that aint the same as fsr

[last willow]

I know, but better than nothing?

[lyric snow]

Thats ass

[last willow]

It's powered by their FSR tech though

Well I'm just trying to give him info lol, he can do whatever he likes

[lyric snow]

the dlss is outdated in it too its the version that existed before fsr i believe

[merry coral]

ah nice so they just dont care about any upscalin lmao, at least dlss is in i guess

[rotund kite]

the overall performance is bad, even if you play on low it's hard to keep 140 fps consistently on a 3070

[merry coral]

cpu issue, i get 140fps ez with 6700xt and 5800x3d

[slim basalt]

what cpu?

[merry coral]

and im on 1440p, hence upscaling being somewhat useful but on all low its somewhat fine (image quality wise)

[rotund kite]

r5 5600x

[merry coral]

yeah if you upgrade that your fps would be alot better

[last willow]

I'm on all low except texture filtering, mesh quality

[merry coral]

if you care about 140+

[last willow]

Yeah the 6-core isn't enough, but I'm still on 3000 series Ryzen

Ryzen 9 3900X

Minimum 5600x worked in my experience.

But you need to turn on XMP. (though you should have that on generally)

[rotund kite]

I see, I was actually thinking to upgrade to r7 5800x3d

[next onyx]

X3d is good.

[merry coral]

eh id go for am5 at this point. especially if you in america and got microcenter neearby as they have 7800x3d + mobo + ram for 450 only

[slim basalt]

I ended up chaning over to a i7-13700k

[next onyx]

6000 mhz cl30 ddr5 ram mmm

Battlefield loves good ram.

[merry coral]

yeah i just tried res scale 0.3 to ssee what my fps could be if fsr was in game (or if i ahad a good gpu for my res) gettin 250fps with 5800x3d

so i mean if you wanna do a drop in upgrade youd be good as well lmao

[rotund kite]

yeah, If I go am5 I'll need to buy a new mb and I wanted to hold on to it a little longer haha

[deft tinsel]

i feel like a goblin for wanting to play 128 conquest

[cyan sundial]

How do you change the color of your skulls?

[drowsy shuttle]

I don't think you can

Maybe the headshots

Yeah you can only change the hit markers colours

You can change the hud colours tho

[lone void]

does it not use the "neutral" HUD colour?

the headshot kill marker uses the "enemy" colour

[arctic grove]

very fair fight when some people can fire 2 air to air missiles instead of 1

[arctic grove]

also i love how 7.62 deals more damage than missile,totally makes sense

[drowsy shuttle]

Redacted aka meme map is easily the worst map in the game. Dear lord

They didn't had time to make something better?

[arctic grove]

vehicles are shittier than maps

enemy 30mil deals so much damage for some reason

[arctic grove]

Don’t

It’s fun on some maps

Although in my personal experience, conquest is a generally repetitive game mode, but that’s my only immediate complaint

[arctic grove]

64 is chaotic enough why tf would you do 128

[deft tinsel]

idk it was the advertised gimmick

[arctic grove]

nothing in this game works as advertised so

no wonder it sucks

love when i get one shotted with sam but when i shoot someone it does like 30% damage

wonderful

[upbeat oasis]

Is there anyone that I can get on the phone with for tech support? My game is not launching, I have done all the steps that I could find online to fix it but nothing is working

[drowsy shuttle]

The only thing that doesn't work well in this game is the players (not talking about you specifically) .. I've played a handful of shooters, I don't remember any where the skill level is really low... I know its a super casual and arcady game, but dear lord...

[arctic grove]

its not sbmm?

its supposed to be like that

like yeah its shit that newbies are placed with players that dont leave their room but thats also not surprising

also its definitely not casual lmao

[drowsy shuttle]

Nope

[next onyx]

There's no sbmm as stated by total.

[remote kiln]

SBMM is a plague on this industry, and its a good thing to game doesnt have it

[arctic grove]

rhetorical question

[arctic grove]

ehh

you make it much harder for new players imo

[ruby shard]

You getting any errors, or the game isnt launching?

[next onyx]

They just need a proper team balancer and we'll be fine.

We all start from somewhere.

[arctic grove]

Like at least sort people with high ranks with high ranks

[next onyx]

Cod's matchmaking by the way is just predatory.

[arctic grove]

no reason for rank idk 120 to be with player that just installed

of course hes gonna shit on him

[upbeat oasis]

@ruby shard there are no errors, just a back screen

[ruby shard]

The game launches and you just have a black screen?

[next onyx]

I remember being scared of players who were a higher prestige than I on cod.

Then I stopped caring.

[upbeat oasis]

the anti cheat appears and then disappears, and then a partial window appears but the content is just black

[merry coral]

not really, unless you are bad to begin with

[next onyx]

Rank does mean something but at the same time it's not the be all end all.

[ruby shard]

You using EA launcher or Steam?

[arctic grove]

brand new discovery
new players are bad!

[next onyx]

I'm rank s480 something and I've fought against extremely competent rank 100's to 200's.

[upbeat oasis]

I’m using steam

[ruby shard]

Go to steam, games, rightclick on battlefield click properties then verify game files.

Try that first.

[frank tartan]

ive seen plenty of s150+ that look like they just started playing and ive played against lv50s that were insane

[next onyx]

Exactly.

[merry coral]

nah i mean you might jsut be bad at shooters in general

[upbeat oasis]

I did that and it didn’t change anything

[ruby shard]

Okay now I wanna know does your system specs meet required or minimum or exceed whats required to run the game

[arctic grove]

if you moved from another similiar fps then i consider you a smurf lol

still you dont belong in those ranks

[upbeat oasis]

I believe so, I have a rtx 3070 and i7-1200F with 15 gbs of ram

12700*

[ruby shard]

Ram is questionable but really wouldn't be the reason why your black screening is ur GPU uptodate?

[arctic grove]

by new player i dont mean somebody who just started playing this game but new to shooters overall,if you have 5k hours in idk COD and you start playing bf2042 you're not a new player

[upbeat oasis]

Yes, I checked for any driver updates and windows updates

[ruby shard]

What anti virus do you use @upbeat oasis

[upbeat oasis]

WebRoot

[ruby shard]

Make sure it isn't blocking bf2042.exe then after that try running the game as the admin

[drowsy shuttle]

Dice remove the fucking squad leader pop up.. that shit keeps cycling through the squad is annoying af.. and nobody follows the orders... I don't want that shit in the corner or my eye.. also when the time starts to winding down, the sound increases and its fucking annoying and distracting... nobody asked for that shit! Remove or give us an option to disable.. Holy shit...

[ruby shard]

Also make sure it isn't blocking EAC anticheat.

[arctic grove]

no way that shit concerns you lmao

[drowsy shuttle]

It's annoying af... nobody follows squad leaders orders... and that shit is distracting...

[upbeat oasis]

I am pretty sure I have allowed everything through the anti virus, both game and anti cheat. how do I run the game with admin

[carmine minnow]

?? I don't even notice it 80% of the time lmfao

[drowsy shuttle]

Specially if you are always on the move like me

[ruby shard]

Right click the game icon or desktop icon and run as admin

[drowsy shuttle]

Then you guys have the awareness of a fly

[ruby shard]

administrator

[carmine minnow]

find game files
find bf2042
open with admin

[ruby shard]

Im half italian bro I learned italian before english then had to start over cant spell administrator without goolging my bad lmao

[carmine minnow]

yeah... 90% of bf players have the awareness of a fly

explains why they don't fucking care about it

[upbeat oasis]

haha no problem, trying it now

[ruby shard]

Fucking sad, failed the literacy test twice in highschool.. went to college to become a cop and passed uni level english with flying colors

[arctic grove]

Do you really look at that tiny rectangle on left side so often it annoys you

[upbeat oasis]

It didn't work, the black window appeared again

[carmine minnow]

I didn't even notice it had sounds lmao

[ruby shard]

Athenas hope in vc with me look on the left

go to general 1

[carmine minnow]

reinstall eac, not sure how you'll have to google it

[arctic grove]

yeah when theres two million explosions happening its hard to notice that

[drowsy shuttle]

I don't give a single fuck about squad leader orders.. and I bet my balls 90% of the players don't care either.. cause sometimes I don't give an order and then the squad leader goes to someone else.. and 5min later is already popping up on my screen again cause like I said... nobody cares about that shit.. the XP that gives is almost insignificant... at least in bfv we have a reason to follow the orders for the killstreaks... but here nobody gives a single fuck...

[carmine minnow]

true

[carmine minnow]

damn bro you just proved my point

nobody gives a fuck

youre the only one giving a fuck

[drowsy shuttle]

It's annoying and distracting... why is so hard to give us the option to disable? At least for the ones that gets annoyed by it?

[carmine minnow]

because

no one is complaining

except you

[drowsy shuttle]

Doubt that

People just don't bother to complain

[remote kiln]

I mean you're really making a big deal out of nothing tbf lol

[arctic grove]

It depends on what’s being complained about I might feel the same way

[remote kiln]

if its bothering you that much just make your own squad and lock it

problem solved

[drowsy shuttle]

For you.. that shit is really distracting.. 60 seconds of a fucking tic tac tic tac not to mention the sound increases

[carmine minnow]

no... people these days complain too much about every little insignificant thing
for example, you
