battlefield-2042

[solar tinsel]

atleast Im assuming thats an option in the game, maybe not

[fossil herald]

lol why are you obsessed with 30 fps

[final lintel]

In 2042 graphic quality is meaningless

[fossil herald]

thats like the worst fps cap ever

[solar tinsel]

you said you were obsessed with quality

[fossil herald]

at least 60 fps cap is somewhat playable

[solar tinsel]

I mean honestly didn't bother people with the reveal trailer (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ASzOzrB-a9E) 🤣

[fossil herald]

30 fps is a slideshow with keyboard and mouse

oh i remember that moment in the trailer lol

[solar tinsel]

moment? The whole trailer is 30fps

[final lintel]

I could still slam kids on 30fps on this game

[fossil herald]

2042 i think might run a little bit better than bf5

[final lintel]

Probably not 100/10levels of slam but a modest 80/15game will to the trick

[solar tinsel]

not gonna lie wish it was an option on PS5 for fun ha

[final lintel]

Lol

[fossil herald]

the only fps issues i ever had though was on the first load of every map

now that ive played every map though its not a problem

well not even really fps drops but just stuttering

[final lintel]

Congrats, here is your celebratory cookie 🍪

[fossil herald]

on 2042 and bf5 both

[solar tinsel]

I play in 48fps Hobbit mode

[final lintel]

wooooooooooo

Tomorrow I might try 30 fps on some dumb low aspect ratio just to see if I could still drop like 75/20 doing that lol. I’m intrigued by the thought

[solar tinsel]

like I said,give yourself the launch trailer experience

If I had the PC version, and a PC that was worth the effort (I don't), I'd have fun with a low fps, cinematic aspect ratio, all HUD off type of experience

not as the norm, but just for fun

[clear zephyr]

So next patch no new things just fixes and nerfs

[quaint vector]

Its still Season 6, what do you want tho

[mighty holly]

it is what it is what can one really except nowadays

[robust vapor]

I expect d0k skin

[mighty holly]

[quaint vector]

with a star on top of his head

[quaint vector]

This tank skin tho..

[robust vapor]

wtf so fast

gib

gib xmas candy skin for snuper rifle too

and my M5A3 candy skin

😋

[naive quiver]

[tacit sphinx]

there were some cool christmas skins in the files back near launch

[quaint vector]

There are some other Christmas Skins but I won't share them for keeping me safe..

[robust vapor]

[tacit sphinx]

that tank skin seems to be a modified version of one of them, exact same camo just with some panels changed and netting added by the looks

also i remember there being a very nice looking VCAR skin

[quaint vector]

We can just pray for Santa Boris 🎅

[robust vapor]

Santa Angel

literally dropping crates on your head

Here's your X-mas present bois and gals

[quaint vector]

Gifts*

[robust vapor]

tonks Windows

Reindeer Ranger skin when

[quaint vector]

Imagine having explosions that have the whistle sound of fireworks and light effects..

[robust vapor]

how to ruin your sense of sight and sense of hearing

looks at Way

[tacit sphinx]

there was one for angel with like an elf hat lmao

[robust vapor]

bruh

i missed it then

[tacit sphinx]

oh we didn’t get any to unlock because people shit themselves over the boris skin, these were in the files though

[mighty holly]

Robot dog reindeer skin when

[robust vapor]

Man

[quaint vector]

Got a "Weapon Charm" (Its a keychain but for me, Its Weapon Charm ) from my GF

[robust vapor]

wtf

gib

I want an irl t1 badge tho

I'm an ex military personnel thus I could attach a badge onto my IBV

[quaint vector]

Custom Tier 1 Badge...

That would be cool

[sharp drum]

i would like something with skull on it

[robust vapor]

T1 Melee Badge

[quaint vector]

I kinda wish there was more melee Tier 1 's than just throwing knife one

Also the throwing knife was pretty easy

[calm ruin]

idk if im dumb or whatnot

but i play in stretched

and on some maps

i cant see my own spawn

1600x1200

[low timber]

Not exactly melee if you throw them though.

[quaint vector]

Well yeah but its still a knife

[lone void]

Statement: Dozer mastery should include his unique Distraction Assist

Discuss.

[quaint vector]

[lone void]

You know, to encourage using the shield beyond just "it's funny"

[sharp drum]

used to happen on me aswell

[calm ruin]

what did u do abt it

[sharp drum]

it went away after making my screen 1920 1080

also it only happens in some maps

[calm ruin]

yea but thats native

or u mean changing to 16:9 and then back to 4:3 again?

[lone void]

So the suppressor changes

They've inverted the self spotting range?

Suppressor Minimap Stealth

Light Suppressors will now benefit from Minimap Stealth from 30 meters and below.
Light Suppressors + Subsonic will now benefit from Minimap Stealth from 15 meters and below.
Heavy Suppressors will now benefit from Minimap Stealth from 15 meters and below.
Heavy Suppressors + Subsonic will now benefit from full Minimap Stealth when firing.

[next onyx]

Typo.

[lone void]

Thought so

Makes no sense lol

G428 has basically become the DM7 lol

[naive quiver]

Impossible to get it done , Boris 60k

Dice fix this bug

[lone void]

G36 nerf is a 2 damage reduction at 100m lmao

[pearl ridge]

I got a weird amount of roadkills that match

Just driving along in my jeep, trying to get an angle on the enemy choppers and running down every idiot standing still

And a surprising amount of them aiming rockets at me

[untold flower]

@robust vapor @glacial quarry

[robust vapor]

?

[glacial quarry]

hi

yeah i can play hold on

@untold flower join

[sour marlin]

Hiii

[untold flower]

logging in

[drowsy rose]

Tier One on The Rorsch and VSS

Maybe I'll T1 the VCAR

and put VCAR Rorsch in my my player card

[fickle wharf]

true chads put civ vehicle t1 in player card

[glacial quarry]

got called a hacker by a tank sweat going 40-0

[plush jay]

are they seriously removing the aiming delay for tanks next patch ?

Not sure if they worded it weird or it's actually happening

this would change tanking in this game fundamentally
with thermals on top ? We'd almost be back to a bf4 state

albeit with shittier movement, HMG etc

[next onyx]

Thing is about the input delay is that it's an inbuilt issue present since bf5.

I feel like it's a result of the capped turret speed.

Don't think it matters anyways since you need to sit back and use zoom.

[untold flower]

check his stats

im pretty sure his infantry kd is dogshit

i remember him going negative a few times

[remote kiln]

yes it is being removed and they are getting thermals

they'll both get that and still be the most inferior option for vehicle selection ironically

[plush jay]

yeah MBT sadly got the short end of the stick in this game

if you go up against a Railtank it's gg most of the time

but at least they will have one pretty substantial advantage now

not even mentioning how they might perform in modes where they don't have to worry about other vehicles like in Rush or BT

[opal edge]

Is the game dead or something ?

I’m not able to connect to servers it says

I tried restarting pc etc

My wifi is working fine

[untold flower]

@glacial quarry

[glacial quarry]

lmao this guy dam funny

[untold flower]

[opal edge]

[glacial quarry]

he's so conflicted whether i am cheating

[untold flower]

i dont have his @

[glacial quarry]

and you're just trolling him

[untold flower]

@glacial quarry

[glacial quarry]

hang on

[untold flower]

hes not in my recent players

[glacial quarry]

i wanna invite him

[untold flower]

i will psycho him into thinking u actually cheat

it will be so funny

[glacial quarry]

gimme a min my recording is rendering

[untold flower]

he also squads with that one ezc giu

[glacial quarry]

actually just start

dont squad with him

he's actually decently good it will be too imbalancedf

[untold flower]

if we have a full squad we will win at least 8/10 games guaranteed

[untold flower]

even better

[opal edge]

Yoooo I haven’t been able to play since past 3 days

It keeps saying not able to connect to game servers

helpppppppppppppp

[remote kiln]

just a cc tank doesn't just mean the MBT in this case, this is for the TOR aswell

[spare epoch]

türk var mı

[deep pecan]

is there any reason to use the non-subsonic mags for BSV?

[plush jay]

ohhh

just after they finally toned it down a bit too. bizarre

for the TOR the delay at least makes sense with how antiair focused he is

[untold flower]

@glacial quarry thats it for me tonight

[glacial quarry]

lol this was a fun night

kekw

[untold flower]

kek

[deft tinsel]

my god the TAA is so awful

gets worse the more i play

[glacial quarry]

@untold flower is a god level troll i swear

that guy changed his mind and was convinced im not a hacker

and jett somehow changed his mind again

now i dont even know what he thinks

[untold flower]

[glacial quarry]

somehow the guy cursing at me and calling me a hacker is now on our friends list and played a match with us

battlefield is truly game of all time

[untold flower]

people

sanest battlefield player

[white dagger]

What channel can I use to send a small 12 second gameplay clip?

[spare quest]

this one if you had embed perms

[white dagger]

That sucks

Am I allowed to send a YT Link in here?

[spare quest]

there is #streams-and-videos

[white dagger]

Ah, perfect

Would like to use that clip to illustrate why TGMs are too fucking op against helis

[spare quest]

sounds like a skill issue

[chilly jacinth]

really

aint no way a heli andy is complaining

[white dagger]

Just gimme a second

You will see what I mean

[spare quest]

[white dagger]

Can’t dodge TGMs even if you dodge them

[chilly jacinth]

let me guess

[glacial quarry]

idk @untold flower i kinda like that guy lmao

[chilly jacinth]

something desynced

and got you anyways

[white dagger]

And of course you gotta be dead in one shot, because it’s extra fun, right?

You’ll see man

I ain’t even mad

[chilly jacinth]

thats what makes it fair

[white dagger]

I am disappointed

[white dagger]

It sure does not

[chilly jacinth]

brother

helis can solo rinse lobbies

a one shot is very fair

[white dagger]

It is not

[spare quest]

its easy to dodge the missles in the stealth heli and nightbird so yes

[white dagger]

Make it do 95 damage, absolutely fine with that

Just not one shot

[white dagger]

Oh really? Is it that easy?

[spare quest]

yes, even for a bad pilot like me

[white dagger]

Check here #streams-and-videos

Video didn’t quite render in full quality

[tacit sphinx]

its just going to be a video of you dying to a rocket

[white dagger]

But you can see it nonetheless

[white dagger]

Did you expect something else

[chilly jacinth]

yep desync

like i said

[tacit sphinx]

why would we need to see it

[spare quest]

desync = weapon too OP pls nerf

[deft tinsel]

zamn i guess i have to play at 1440 with resolution scale at 0.9, taa low to make the game a bit less like vaseline has been smeared all over my monitor ... at the cost of fps

[white dagger]

That thing was closer to the North Pole than my heli

[deft tinsel]

i don't understand how they have worse antialiasing than bf1

[white dagger]

Now tell me how else I would fucking dodge that shit

[chilly jacinth]

step 1

dont be desynced

step 2

play the game

[white dagger]

Yea

Go on

Im waiting for the „don’t be bad“ part

It’s a classic

Come on, where is it

[chilly jacinth]

there are no more steps

[white dagger]

Oh damn

Still, these „steps“ are as creative as „just don’t be bad“

[spare quest]

this guy is not mad at all

doesn't even understands desync

[white dagger]

And what the hell do you mean by don’t be desynced? I’ve got a constant ping around 10 or 15

[chilly jacinth]

google.com

then search desync

[white dagger]

What can I do about that? Place myself right next to the next Dice server?

[chilly jacinth]

pray to the dice gods

[white dagger]

Yes that will instantly fix the problem I guess

[chilly jacinth]

you cant fix it is the thing

[frozen loom]

I hate when my squad leader is sniping at the air when I'm a foot away downed and asking for a res.

[deft tinsel]

the opposite also sucks, i die to someone near me and i ping him like 50 times yet my squadmate rushes over without smokes to revive me and we both end up dead

[frozen loom]

The enemy he was trying to snipe was a football field away.

[deft tinsel]

ppl just don't know how to play their roles

[frozen loom]

Yeah, if someone is bad at sniping, get off the role.

[topaz abyss]

dont get me started with stupid medics

right near my dead body heal me ffs

longest record for me using a XCE 650m head shot pretty proud when people say you cant do a 400m headshot with that gun

[proud pecan]

deadass some medics just run over you lmao

[frozen loom]

Their meds are for themselves exclusively.

[untold flower]

gay

[stone cradle]

So many meds don't understand the importance of smokes too

[lone void]

Still not over the Falck who threw an ammo box at my dying body, or the Irish who tried to melee me back to health

Angel would never do this to me

[proud pecan]

i like irish's revive lines a lot

"look at me!! LOOK AT ME!!!"

[frozen loom]

Is that Brandon Fraiser?

[lone void]

No it's Angel when he does it again

[frozen loom]

[untold flower]

thid is me if u even care @glacial quarry

[dense nexus]

FFS again, some no name who's not even on the scoreboard steals my apc while trying to deploy aps

drives into the "infantry" part of the map

rain of explosions engulf the MAV

I start to belive dice disguises bots with real player names at this point

or those people are post-lobotomy or something

[untold flower]

sorry i just got my lobotomy at claire's

[deft tinsel]

me when

[frozen loom]

I equipped armor-piercing rounds as the secondary mags for all capable weapons.

And silenced mags for the third slot.

Extended high-powered mags for the main slot.

[deft tinsel]

tank just camping on a hhill and none of my teammates are botherin to help me get rid of it

awesome

i love when that happens

soflam sounds like a ligma joke

soflam deez nuts

[merry heart]

My brother's dog does this.

[ruby shard]

Stay away from SWAT servers in Portal they're randomly banning people

[silver lantern]

Ngl for the next bf game

I hope they go back to the bf1/bf5 style of movement and gunplay

[chilly jacinth]

no

[royal swan]

Yeah, I loved the bfv movement

It was so good and original

[silver lantern]

Ye

Bf2042 is decent

But not as smooth

[royal swan]

Bf2042 movement is bland and boring

Nothing interesting or new at all

[silver lantern]

Esp the way the gun moves while running

[royal swan]

Bfv had so many unique animations in it's movement

Plus you can vault ledges and higher walls

Do a roll to negate fall damage

Crouch run, sliding was good

[candid mulch]

Bf is just a big map with many players shooter, its very arcadish

It was something new at bad company 2 and bf 3

Now its cod

[royal swan]

On thing I absolutely hate about the large 128 player count is the SHITTY TICK RATE

[candid mulch]

If you wanna play something new play squad and insurgency, very@real

[lone void]

realistic shooters boring

cringe

just join the army nerd

[royal swan]

Bf was never realistic in any form

[candid mulch]

Way more mechanics

[royal swan]

It was always arcade

A arcade sandbox shooter

[candid mulch]

Nah it wasnt since there werent even many games of the sort at bad company two days

Medal or smth i dont even remember

[lone void]

it can be new, unique and arcade all at the same time

just becasue it is the most realistic it doesn't make it realistic

[candid mulch]

We dont even do army, dont need to take over small countries for profit

It actually does

[royal swan]

No it doesn't

[candid mulch]

The more realistic a game is the more realistic it is

Your sentence is bs

Played tarkov?

[lone void]

the most realistic out of the options that exist

[royal swan]

Bf was high in detail but never realistic

Was

[lone void]

[royal swan]

Bf2042 has none of the detail

[candid mulch]

In bad company 2 u could destroy buildungs with c4, that was realistic as heck u get it

[royal swan]

That's just destruction

Destruction is to look cool and be detailed

Changing some of the gameflow

There are many arcade games with destruction

[lone void]

and you can strap C4 to a jeep and drive it into a tank and get out and blow it up and be totally fine and not break your legs jumping out of a 50mph vehicle

[royal swan]

Teardown and finals

Great destruction

[lone void]

teardown funny game

[royal swan]

But not considered realistic games

[lone void]

idk teardown is quite grounded with what you can get away with

[chilly jacinth]

its made of blocks man

[lone void]

well yes

graphically it is not realistic at all

[royal swan]

Teardown is a sandbox, the destruction may be realistic but the game is not what you would call a realistic game, plus it made from blocks

[lone void]

mechanically it's quite solid

[royal swan]

Or voxles

[lone void]

funny game

I've just been poisoned

dairy free chocolate

fucking grim

[royal swan]

2 more days until update

[crystal thorn]

Any Battlefield 3 nostalgic players here?

My friends and I used to spend countless hours playing Noshahr Canals in Team Deathmatch 24/7 during the good old days. Would anyone like to join us and help keep our new server alive? Unfortunately, we don't have the funds to get the premium battle pass for activating the "permanent" mode of the server. Nevertheless, our primary goal is not to create a dead server; we want you to have fun with us. We invite you to join us for some enjoyable moments on the best map/mode ever.

On the other hand, maintaining a 16vs.16 lobby isn't that challenging, in my opinion, and we believe it can be consistently filled up. We eagerly await your presence on our VANILLA SETTINGS server with BF2042 specialists & weapons, featuring Noshahr Canals only in a 16vs16 Team Deathmatch.

Find us in the portal server browser under the name: "NOSHAHR ONLY - 16vs16 - PvP TDM"

PS: The server will be hosted in the EU, but feel free to copy the experience code (ABKF19) and host it yourself.

[royal swan]

Ngl I do like the idea that new guns are op from the start

[lone void]

it's easier to tone things back than to make a mistake and buff it too much later

[royal swan]

I like the idea for it being a motivator to get the gun

And that it's easier to balance out

[deft tinsel]

bfv movement + the double sprint and slide from 2042 will be great

[royal swan]

Honestly they need to work on the sprint mechanic in 2042

[deft tinsel]

but less jittery pls

sniping is like 200 more difficult because everyone is moving like they're in apex

[royal swan]

Im going to say make the faster sprint limited

[deft tinsel]

yep

will fit in well with the style of movement from bfv

[fringe spire]

There's nothing like getting 5 kills with an NTW shooting a transport heli

[glad owl]

garbage game call of duty 2042

[spare quest]

i dont think call of duty 2042 is out yet

[merry heart]

[slow tulip]

When does update 6.2 goes live?

[echo quartz]

how do i unbind key in settings?

[naive quiver]

In coming up Tuesday

[gentle drum]

When is it coming out??

[fallen matrix]

https://www.ea.com/games/battlefield/battlefield-2042/news/battlefield-2042-update-notes-6-2 To see what's new and changed

[slow tulip]

Can we get Captain Price as a specialist in BF2042?

[acoustic oar]

Just ask Phil Spencer.

[slow tulip]

Simon Riley Ghost would be nice too, he is a very good sniper

[slow tulip]

When are they buying out EA?

[acoustic oar]

[calm bison]

Hopefully never

[slow tulip]

Why

[calm bison]

I hate monopolies

And plus EA games are already on gamepass so it’s just a waste of money

[fossil herald]

you know what i just realized

the 2042 story line would make a whole lot more sense if the game was a battle royale

i heard people say that 2042 was originally supposed to be a battle royale but they scrapped it at the last moment
if you go and read the "specialist bios" the whole note-pad and "the exodus" thing makes more sense for a battle royale game

[candid mulch]

Nah battlefield wouldnt compare to warzone

[fossil herald]

the exodus was supposed to be like the fortnite battle bus

[candid mulch]

Battlepass waste of money?? The elite edition of the game is only skinss ffs

[fossil herald]

battlepass is also only skins

[candid mulch]

Battlefield went to shits from hardline

[fossil herald]

all the guns and pondawk will become free when the BP ends

[candid mulch]

Hardline was dogshit and then it went eeeh maybe nooot and then bam dogshit again

[fossil herald]

i loved hardline

was so much better than 2042 lol

even the hovercraft was better

[candid mulch]

Hardline didnt even have bulletdrop

[fossil herald]

yeah it did lol

[candid mulch]

Not on start atleast

I remember it being the news of the time everywhere

[fossil herald]

had some pretty serious bullet drop for the snipers because it was one of the few games dice was like "ok well let players have a real barret .50 cal semi auto"

the scout elite had some drop but was still like the best sniper

the story in hardline was amazing too

only battlefield story where they try and be funny

[calm bison]

I wouldn’t call it amazing but as far as Bf campaigns go, it’s decent

[fossil herald]

it was very unique imo and a huge improvement from bf4 campaign

everyone loves to love bf4 campaign but i remember a lot of segments in it that were very clunky and boring

[calm bison]

That’s a pretty low bar

[fossil herald]

like the mission where you have to stealth sneak through some chinese city

[next onyx]

The engagement distances of hardline were much shorter so it really didn't matter.

You only notice drop on snipers anyways.

Due to their nature.

[fossil herald]

yeah hardline was truely a cqc battlefield

[next onyx]

Kinda medium ranged to be honest. But it definitely did not shy from close quarters.

[fossil herald]

every map they tried to put a lot of cover and i remember they tried a few experimental infantry only modes that were smaller than 32v32

like there was a cash grab mode that was fun lol

[next onyx]

Blood money.

It was so fucking good.

[fossil herald]

yeah blood money

[calm bison]

I liked that Hardline experimented with unique gamemodes like Hotwire and Blood Money

[next onyx]

It was genuinely a good mode.

[calm bison]

Heist was interesting

[next onyx]

Criminal announcer was easily the highlight.

[fossil herald]

the maps in hardline were really good looking graphically too
even for todays standards

[next onyx]

The verbal abuse he would hurl I loved.

[calm bison]

“If you’re not gonna fight pick up a fuckin’ broom. Clean up around here”

[next onyx]

You let those fucks, rob my Vault!?

Blood monies Vault hit sound was the worst.

[calm bison]

“Tell me you did not just drop the package!”

[next onyx]

Butter fingers dropped the package ahaha

[slow tulip]

Ea will make better games under MS's control

Yet to see how well is the next COD

[next onyx]

I remember there was this one line that rambled not getting the last car, then ending. "We're fucked"

"If you don't get that last car(?), we're fucked"

[calm bison]

That is the funniest fucking thing I have read all day

[slow tulip]

Next COD is coming in 2024

[fallen matrix]

CoD 2024 rumors say lotta zombies

[calm bison]

Microsoft has not had a good track record when it comes to their 3rd patty games

Look at Redfall

[slow tulip]

Look at starfield

[calm bison]

Starfield launched well but it hasn’t received the best praise because it’s just

Fallout in space

Without anything interesting

And you also have to understand that Starfield was made over the course of like 5 years

[next onyx]

Wasn't it longer technically.

[calm bison]

I’m lowballing since I’m not entirely sure

[next onyx]

Fair.

[calm bison]

And then let’s bring attention to Microsoft’s recent golden goose

Activision

MW3 has received a whole lot of negative press

I wouldn’t trust Microsoft with EA anymore than EA already

[next onyx]

They can't exactly buy ea anyways.

[naive quiver]

Then it’s still very popular and sells good

[calm bison]

Yeah isn’t EA worth like trillions?

Oh no

$37 Billion

That’s still stupid expensive

[naive quiver]

I don’t think EA will sell it

[mighty holly]

!!when will Microsoft buy EA

[tender pendant]

Soon™

[mighty holly]

You heard the bot

[next onyx]

I bet Microsoft was looking into ea as well but since the SA scandal went there was no better time.

To buy acti

[calm bison]

I think Microsoft will probably look at the sports games EA produces

[naive quiver]

EA has tons of money in background

What’s point they thinking to sell it

No sense

[calm bison]

Which BTW when EA releases their College Football game I will buy it

[next onyx]

You bring that up and I'm vividly reminded when our former PM tackled a ginger kid.

[deft tinsel]

was the g428 nerfed?

i thhought it was next week

it does not feel as op as it was made out to be, from long range

[next onyx]

Update isn't out.

[calm bison]

You can’t just mention that and then not expand on it

[next onyx]

Scomo just do a little oopsie during a public event and further took a hit to his reputation.

[calm bison]

Well he certainly isn’t improving his standings with gingers

Contrary to popular belief they do have souls

[next onyx]

Nah.

In reality.

They understood what happened.

But it makes for a funny headline.

[calm bison]

THIS HAPPENED RECENTLY?!

What the fuck

[next onyx]

Reports May 18 2022. Funny enough on my birthday.

[calm bison]

I thought this happened back in the old days where AU’s PM shat himself in a Macca’s

[next onyx]

That was him apparently.

[calm bison]

WHAT THE FUCK

[next onyx]

By the way you have reacted I know this for certain.

The American is scared.

[calm bison]

I don’t think I’m scared

I’m just

Profoundly amazed at this man

Not only did he shit himself

He tackled a kid

We’ve gone full circle

[lapis osprey]

lfg oce

[next onyx]

The tackle though was a complete accident so ill be as fair as possible towards him.

[calm bison]

#lfg-crossplay

[next onyx]

Oce is dead this time in the morning cozza.

[lapis osprey]

ill try

[calm bison]

And so was the shitting himself but no one lets that stand

[next onyx]

I can respect the determination.

[lapis osprey]

if not whos keen

[next onyx]

Nah I just feel like something he said was taken out of context. I'd rather not get into this. Just the ginger part.

[calm bison]

Here’s what I can say - Floridian to Australian - I respect the tenacity y’all have

If there was a showdown between a Florida Man and Aussie Man it would rival Endgame

[mighty holly]

Truly fascinating

[sudden barn]

Hey guys, I average about 30-50 megabits per second download speed and I have a wired connection but I consistently get pretty high ping and/or packet loss. What's going on and what are some solutions?

Plz @ me if you have any ideas

I also have 7ms latency to my nearest city

I have good enough ping to the servers (30-ish) when in a game, but I still have rubberbanding. Also, consistent 0% packet loss both up and down.

[sour marlin]

Hey allll

[sudden barn]

Other games run fine as well

Yo

[spare quest]

Is your pc running?

[sudden barn]

Ya

[spare quest]

You better go catch it

[sudden barn]

I aint gonna go catch it tho

Damn

[spare quest]

[sudden barn]

Might you have any tips per chance?

[spare quest]

Sadly no

[sudden barn]

I read somewhere that there's "latency compensation" but there's no way it's overcompensating THIS bad

Like, it's literally unplayable

[spare quest]

But sometimes i also get weird packet loss, but only in 2042

I couldn‘t even play last night

[sudden barn]

Well, not literally, but it's hard to have a good time

[spare quest]

But now its fine

[vagrant jay]

Hey, how is the game running in terms of optimization, compared to 1 year ago?

[sudden barn]

Yeah it feels like packet loss but it says 0% on the analyzer

I don't know, I got the game a few days ago

[vagrant jay]

last time i tried it, a year ago, i was having issues with stuttering fps

like 100 fps but with drops to 40 for split seconds

[sudden barn]

Oh, I turned a couple settings off and made the refresh rate match my monitor and it worked fine. It was like that when I first launched it tho

[vagrant jay]

what graphics card?

[sudden barn]

I don't have it memorized, one sec

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 Super @vagrant jay

[vagrant jay]

oh sweet

[sudden barn]

I don't really know how it compares to other ones

Why do you ask?

[vagrant jay]

some people be like

"oh it runs fine on my machine"

when they got Nvidia 4080's or something 💀

[sudden barn]

And they got a NASA supercomputer lmao

Yeah

[sudden barn]

Dude, do u have any ideas as to what my issue is tho?

[vagrant jay]

my ol' AMD 5600XT still does the job even in Unreal Engine 5 😄

[sudden barn]

I'm hoping SOMEONE might know

[whole hornet]

It does run fine on my 4080 for the record

[vagrant jay]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/781214584337858602.webp?size=48&name=whoasked&quality=lossless

[vagrant jay]

you're getting high ping? how much megabits of speed you're getting is not related

it's the distance between you and the EA game server

[sudden barn]

It's only about 30 consistently when I'm in a game but it feels like 250 with the amount of rubber banding and stuff

I have the analysis thing on at the top and that's what it says, anyway

I have a wired connection and other games run fine

[vagrant jay]

try to check it with this network graph enabled https://answers.ea.com/t5/Technical-Issues/Network-Graph-Update-3-2/m-p/11544075

keep an eye on the LAT value

[sudden barn]

Should I send a SS when it comes up? I have that set to come up when it's bad

Which is often

[vagrant jay]

well, it seems to show not only your latency but the average of all the players you play with (the ALAT value)

[sudden barn]

I get maybe 5 seconds of reasonable gameplay then people teleport lmao

[vagrant jay]

check if there's a huge difference between those

[sudden barn]

Oh ok

[vagrant jay]

if the ALAT value is high, it's the servers

if the LAT value is high, it's your connection

[sudden barn]

I assume there's near nothing I can do if it's the ALAT?

[vagrant jay]

ALAT is only for a reference

[sudden barn]

All that matters is if there's a big difference between em, right?

[vagrant jay]

if that ALAT value is like 150-250, EA should do something with the servers 😄

unless you're using a VPN or a Proxy, or forgot to turn off some torrents/cloud service, or have done something funky with the entire home network, idk if there's something else you can do

[sudden barn]

LAT and ALAT are both under 50

[vagrant jay]

wish there was a server browser for that, BF4 always shows the ping

huh lol

then it's not internet lag?

or maybe the opponents are lagging

[sudden barn]

But I'm occasionally running slo-mo and getting shot from enemies I can't see

Or after I ran behind cover

And I'm getting these three rectangles on the top left of my screen as well whenever it's bad

[vagrant jay]

like this? https://www.reddit.com/r/battlefield2042/comments/r4etfg/what_does_this_yellow_logo_mean_ive_done/

[remote kiln]

your bandwidth is largely irrelevant to your ping to the game servers, the biggest component is with how many node jumps your exchange is taking for roundtrips

[sudden barn]

Exactly

[vagrant jay]

the comments say It's a low fps warning

[sudden barn]

Oh, THEN WHY AM I TELEPORTING LMAO

[vagrant jay]

wait

[sudden barn]

I get like pushed backwards or sideways or to wherever I was

[vagrant jay]

the packet loss icon is also rectangles

https://i.imgur.com/753CGxg.png

so which one do you see? 😄

[sudden barn]

It's the first, I had packet loss at one point and that looked different

I'd be really shocked if it was framerate tho

[vagrant jay]

server performance?

[remote kiln]

well what is your framerate?

[sudden barn]

Good question, I'm gonna check right now

I usually don't have it displayed

[remote kiln]

considering youve got a 1650 it may very well be the issue

and the other guy with a 5600xt

[sudden barn]

I'm the one with the 1650 lol

[remote kiln]

cant be expecting stable performance on a card like that

youre going to hit VRAM limits

[sudden barn]

It runs other games well enough, even ones that look better at higher settings

[remote kiln]

the card is bad sorry my guy, its gimped on memory capacity and it isnt a card you should be using for large open world games like battlefield

blame nvidia

[vagrant jay]

mine was also getting stable 60fps on an alpha playtest of a certain Unreal Engine 5 game I had to sign an NDA to try a week ago 😄

though it's newer than 1650

[remote kiln]

and that doesnt mean anything

so its pointless to mention

[sudden barn]

I don't know bruh, it runs Arma 3 with reshade pretty freakin well with almost-maxxed view distance, and Battlefield 5 ran well when i used to play that with decent settings

[vagrant jay]

my take is just that game optimization of hardware varies and can still improve

no miracles tho, i get that 😄

[remote kiln]

arma 3 is over a decade old and 2042 has the biggest maps in the franchise's history, your GPU isnt enough to run a single map without hitting texture compression or VRAM capacity issues, sell it and get something else

[remote kiln]

youre comparing UE5 to the frostbite engine, its pointless

[vagrant jay]

can you expand on why

or is it just because different companies made it

[remote kiln]

the frostbite engine is a proprietary engine thats closed sourced, it isnt open source like UE5 and nobody except DICE themselves have a understanding of how the engine interfaces with hardware for "optimisation", UE5 is open source and those code paths can be identified, they cannot for frostbite

so its useless to try and cross reference

[vagrant jay]

oh i missed that

then yeah

[mental delta]

I can clearly have a understanding of how the engine interfaces with hardware for "optimisation", but I'm just built different

Same with Rage engine from Rockstar

[remote kiln]

[mental delta]

[sour marlin]

Goooood morning Australia!!!!

[rotund kite]

username checks out

[arctic grove]

[sudden barn]

I'm getting pretty consistent 40-50 fps, which is perfectly fine by me, It genuinely does feel like lag at this point and not some other issue with my PC runningt he game

[naive quiver]

It’s safe to upgrade now

[fringe spire]

I just found out you can T1 the tuktuk

has anyone actually done that

[vagrant jay]

lmao

i got EA origin working

[calm bison]

That guy needs anger management training

[tough sonnet]

Is aircraft disabled for 1942 Era?

[merry coral]

well? lmao if you ran arma 3 well bf2042 would be a breeze, doubt you are running the game good in koth with 100 people or modded servers

unless you used to 20-30fps

[merry heart]

ah

my new deskmats have come in from china

[sudden barn]

Idk bruh I doubt it's my PC, it just seems to be the servers or something

I have all my settings really low

[frozen loom]

Pics?

[merry heart]

...

[frozen loom]

Neat. Where'd you get them?

[merry heart]

why did it turn out upside down

[frozen loom]

Do you live in Australia? Discord turns the images upside down to correlate.

[sour marlin]

Mate now I’m in the mood for koth

[merry heart]

there we go

[merry heart]

aliexpress

i have two more as well, but they're dirty and needs to be cleaned

[frozen loom]

I like my deskpads from Novelkey since I'm a GMK fanboy.

[merry heart]

nice

there was some sort of special sale on aliexpress, so it was basically 50% off of what is normally a $40 CAD product

thought i would add more to my collection

[frozen loom]

[merry heart]

"Don't be sad ..."

[rough pendant]

I have a question for anyone here. Is there some sort of trick for getting the mission, "Kills and Assists When Destroying Vehicles"? I've been trying this for a few days now and haven't gotten a single one. I have no idea how I managed to get 9/20. I was in a vehicle this last game and clearly watched at least 2 vehicles die from me and the driver damaging them but yet I don't get credit for anything for the mission?

Am I doing somethign wrong or am I misunderstanding something?

Does it not count when you are also in a vehicle maybe?

[calm bison]

What’s the mission for

[rough pendant]

Season stuff. Week 4.

[calm bison]

It should work regardless of what you’re doing

You could be in a tank, helicopter, jet, doesn’t matter

You need to get kills and assists on the people inside the vehicle

So let’s say you blow up a full Condor

That means there are 6 poor sops in there

That will get you 6 kills towards that mission

But you need to either get kills or assists with it

[rough pendant]

Oh. So it's kills on enemies, involving destroying the vehicle.

But still...

[calm bison]

Effectively

The wording is a bit confusing

[rough pendant]

That means that all the vehicles I've helped destroy, somehow everyone made it out

[calm bison]

Yes

[rough pendant]

Which I still find fishy.

But I guess that makes sense

[calm bison]

It’ll tell you how many kills you get when you see the number of skulls on your screen

Remember

It only counts if the vehicle is destroyed while they’re still in it

It won’t count if they hop and you get an assist

[rough pendant]

I'm pretty bad at the game, so I typically don't pay attention to the bottom text much. 😛 concentrating on not dying.:P

[calm bison]

Fair enough

[rough pendant]

But ok I understand.

[calm bison]

Best tip - play engineer and target transports

[rough pendant]

Just bad luck on my part then I guess.

[calm bison]

You’re all good

You’ll improve

[robust vapor]

Every specialist has a role to play

[robust vapor]

[calm bison]

Except Paik

The TUGS is in 2042

She’s useless

[robust vapor]

Better not let the Koreans see what you said

[merry heart]

just throw smokes at a choke point, use her EMG, go into smoke, shotgun people that you find

[calm bison]

Or, do that with Rao, place TUGS, and fuck everyone up

[merry heart]

it doesn't work well with rao like that. ive tried. paik is more hands-free

[calm bison]

Sounds like you’re just lazy

[merry heart]

quite frankly

i am

paik just makes me that much lazier

[calm bison]

Go go gadget wallhacks

[merry heart]

i know paik's EMG doesn't work in Blasco's infiltration device

does Rao's?

[robust vapor]

yes cause Rao

[merry heart]

rearry

[robust vapor]

no cause NOT Rao

[merry heart]

[robust vapor]

average autism interaction

[merry heart]

no im just having a brain fart

[merry heart]

[arctic grove]

bf2042 isnt a good game

[pseudo pecan]

is the new hovercraft thing following helicoptor controls or airplane, and any tips for flying with mouse and keyboard?

[dapper river]

every time I come across a funny clip of 2042, that doesn't talk about the state of the game or balance or anything, just a fun gameplay moment, I always find shit like this in the comments

"durr the game is bad because recon players are oblivious"

[merry heart]

man, irish is such a defense heavy focused support

its nice to play defensively once in a while

[next onyx]

@glacial quarry Did you see the fear in me with the claymore.

[robust vapor]

yus

d0k T1ed Irish, Falck and Angel

irish good

[fossil herald]

irish's shield is the perfect height for bipods

[robust vapor]

meanwhile d0k

[fossil herald]

i really miss the bf5 building system though every time i try and defend an objective in 2042

like the sandbags, ammo boxes, and fixed cannon/mg turrets you could set up

[glacial quarry]

lol the game ended like 0.2 seconds before you walked into it

try a BT?

[next onyx]

BT is dead.

This region is dead.

[merry heart]

god damn

i ran into 7 people abusing the out of bound glitch in redacted

[next onyx]

Sorry peli I didn't see your messages in game.

[spare quest]

Is he a modest pelican

[merry heart]

i heard the BSV was nerfed a couple of times, but that it's still good

is this true?

[arctic grove]

BATTLEFIELD 2052

[paper sentinel]

mhm that's +10 years yes

[spare quest]

yes

[next onyx]

Pain is over.

SVD and the crossbow are the only ones that are left.

[robust vapor]

rip Way

SVD M39 and GOL left for d0k

[fossil herald]

rpk74m is amazing lmao
best portal lmg besides m60 i think

[robust vapor]

M60 is amazing af

like shooting an overmag Ribeyrolls

[fossil herald]

please noone tell dice about the m60

[robust vapor]

already T1ed the M60

now gib skin

[fossil herald]

i bet the reason most people dont use it is because its kinda hard to unlock

really gotta commit to grinding giving teammates ammo

[merry heart]

Wibbywolz

[robust vapor]

wrong

it's cause people don't like slow firing weapons

[robust vapor]

wibber

[fossil herald]

also the m60 is one of the few portal lmgs with access to the 2.5 thermal

[robust vapor]

I use iron sights

[fossil herald]

i use the xdr holo if im not using thermals lol

[merry heart]

yeah ive finally weaned myself off of thermals

learned that enemies get highlighted if you hover your crosshair over them, but only up to a certain distance

[fossil herald]

my favorite strategy in 2042 to have fun is to just not take the game seriously and try and actively ruin the game for other players

[robust vapor]

D0k casually clapping people with a bipod lmg

[fossil herald]

so i use thermals on everything to ruin everyone else's experience

[merry heart]

bruh dont be that one group of dudes i played against earlier that abused the out of bounds glitch in redacted. it was effing 7 of them abusing it.

https://tenor.com/view/ltg-glasses-off-stare-ltg-stare-ltg-glasses-off-gif-15553471357126937625

[fossil herald]

and kill people through stupid pixel angles and between the leaves and grass

the only time i ever managed to get out of bounds is by falling through the map cause it didnt load

but i have seen players and bots get into the infamous redacted spot now

but i still have no clue how to get there

[merry heart]

i know how to do it, but i dont abuse it. i only do it against others who abuse it.

[fossil herald]

i am the sundance c4 player though

[merry heart]

i previously mastered paik, which was fun as hell.

now im currently mastering the art of irish

[fossil herald]

i dont care about mastery that much tbh

[merry heart]

no not that kind of mastery

[fossil herald]

i think most guns and specialists i have like on the very first mastery level or the second

idk what its called

[merry heart]

im talking about how to use them effectively

[fossil herald]

for irish you can put the trophy system on vehicles right?

[merry heart]

not sure?

[next onyx]

I need to go back to my xm8.

I have this super beamy avancys that cy recommended to me and it's kinda my go to lmg right now.

[merry heart]

i dont even know if putting c5 onto UAV drones is still a thing

[fossil herald]

they made them super slow if you do

[next onyx]

You can put c4 on drones but its speed will be reduced.

You also cannot place aps on tanks.

[fossil herald]

its not impossible to kill people even now though with caspers drone

[merry heart]

ah

[fossil herald]

i think it goes a little faster if you only put 1 or 2 c4 also

but the full load of 3 that can kill a tank gives the biggest speed penalty

[merry heart]

sometimes i see people place ammo crates onto vehicles

i guess that's a bf3 thing?

[next onyx]

Yeah.

Just an old oh yeah mobile ammo station.

[glacial quarry]

im thinking of going back to avancys

[next onyx]

Oh yeah.

[glacial quarry]

LCMG cqb rounds: 740 rpm, 20m 4-BTK, 50m 5-BTK
LCMG standard rounds: 690 rpm, 30m 4-BTK, 100m 5-BTK
Avancys: 750 rpm, 75m 5-BTK, suppressed

it looks like a good balance between both cqb and standard lcmg rounds

don't feel like i really need beyond 75m anyway

but not having the 4 btk point blank can be annoying esp with so many other high dps guns around and lmg having longer sprint to fire

so i donno

[lunar finch]

so glad the g428 is getting nerfed 😭

[robust vapor]

[lunar finch]

i feel like the 880 will still have a place or be fairly strong

[weak vector]

god damn, the more I play this game, the more I question whoever made weapon balancing lol

over half of the attachments feel useless, and some feel like it downright harms the gun with very very little benefit

[lunar finch]

every battlefield is like this

[weak vector]

also I don't get why there aren't persistent lobbies that don't break up. I find a good server and then the game says "no you gotta play in another shitty one now :333"

two years into this game and no server browser. Embarassing shit.

[ebon pilot]

because it was an explicit choice

it didn't happen on accident

[weak vector]

yeah I get that but why was it was designed like that? lol

[next onyx]

Game was most likely due to become something else.

Its fucking obnoxious with it being disconnected from all out warfare.

[weak vector]

and in the past two years, no one considered changing that after release...?

[ebon pilot]

that doesn't explain why the choice persists with the change of direction

[next onyx]

They can't be fucked.

[weak vector]

😔

[ebon pilot]

they have a browser in portal, the only thing stopping them is their own choices

[weak vector]

oh I forgot Portal existed LOL

[next onyx]

We got an all chat at least after they said no so maybe? But honestly no use in hoping for it to come through.

Game is gonna die when the next one comes out. Zero replayability.

[arctic grove]

Dice spoke about it, they pretty much canned the idea for good

There’s a lot of speculation about why it was designed the way it was but the most likely situation is dice had limited resources, bad work environments (from home during covid with inexperienced devs) and unrealistic deadlines

[next onyx]

They could get lots of good word going if they did it.

[arctic grove]

Also the theory that it was supposed to just be hazard zone and then other stuff was stamped on later

[arctic grove]

Yea for sure

[next onyx]

It'd actually get portal used.

[ebon pilot]

I don't think people care if it doesn't directly affect them

[arctic grove]

Portal would’ve probably been good with just more content too imo

[next onyx]

Oh yeah nvm the fact that all out warfare compliant portal servers are scuffed.

Hey look I can stay in the lobby, hey look I can directly choose what I want to play.

[fossil herald]

i think that the reason we dont have persistent lobbies is cause it was originally intended to be a battle royale

[next onyx]

With a proper loading screen tip making people aware.

[arctic grove]

I miss trivia and tips from bf1/v

[fossil herald]

a lot of things in this game make more sense when you look at it from the perspective that it was originally supposed to be a battle royale

[arctic grove]

Yea

If it had slower infantry movement the maps would feel a lot bigger too

You could certainly put 128 players in them with some more grounded movement

[next onyx]

With the size of them I'd rather not have slower movement speed to be honest.

I get how you feel.

But with this game no no no.

[weak vector]

I don't even know what I feel about this game anymore lol

It has a lot of enjoyable moments, but there isn't much reason for me to play this for more than an hour

[fossil herald]

i played 2042 for 200+ hours since season 6 came out

[next onyx]

To me the game is at its most enjoyable at the start of the season.

When we actually have new content.

[weak vector]

wait, when did season 6 start?

[fossil herald]

as soon as black friday sale started i downloaded bf5 and havent played 2042 since

[next onyx]

Like no way this is all the content we'll be getting.

[fossil herald]

before haloween

[next onyx]

8 weeks.

[arctic grove]

Oh no I understand why it’s like this, i was basically trying to say that I think the movement is so fast now cause they wanted to speed up traverse, cause if the hz theory is true i doubt it’d be as fast as it is now, but that’s just my speculation

[weak vector]

Oh damn so I'm really late. I joined on black friday

[ebon pilot]

that's what i do, i play about an hour or two and take a break.

[next onyx]

Oh that's fair levi.

[weak vector]

it's been a week since I bought the game and it's already losing replayability xD

[ebon pilot]

i have 1,000 hours

[fossil herald]

cool it with the brutal expectations

[next onyx]

If we got a new map every half a season that'd be cool.

[weak vector]

I'm no map designer, but I think why we got so few maps is because some are so large, it's like making two maps

[next onyx]

We were going to get a second map a season apparently but considering how garbage the maps were they had their hands full already.

Oh no it's been a thing since bf4.

Siege of shanghai took 6 months.

[fossil herald]

you know dice has lied so much im suprised people believed them when they said theyre gonna stop working on bf5

[next onyx]

They have stopped working on bf5.

[weak vector]

I blame the execs who've never touched a video game in their entire life

[arctic grove]

Dice also said another thing that slowed them down was pretty much splitting workload in half even when they worked on a new seasonal map, for both next and last gen consoles

[next onyx]

What are you on about.

[fossil herald]

at this point if they started working on bf5 again and walked back that promise people really wouldnt care, if anything they would be happy and it would align with what dice has done in the past for games

[arctic grove]

So imo the next Battlefield game needs to be next gen console/pc only

[next onyx]

Yeah it will very likely will.

They need to entirely cut out last gen next season.

[weak vector]

yes please

[next onyx]

Its shitty to say but we are halfway through life cycle of the latest gen consoles.

[weak vector]

I do think that the next Battlefield will fail, simply because I don't trust DICE to learn from their mistakes anymore

[arctic grove]

[fossil herald]

i wish bf5 had crossplay

[weak vector]

my brain still thinks we're in 2021

[arctic grove]

I’m mixed about crossplay cause uh

[next onyx]

I wish bf5 got an rtx update for console with update graphics.

[arctic grove]

PC players

[fossil herald]

thats like one of the funniest features of 2042

[next onyx]

Crossplay has its issues.

[arctic grove]

It would be better if consoles had kbm support in this game

[next onyx]

Yea

[weak vector]

imo I like crossplay because sometimes the PC side dies too fast and I want people to play with lol

[arctic grove]

2021 release when crossplay has been a thing in competitor titles for like years beforehand and yet

no kbm support

[weak vector]

I'm in super super huge support of crossplay. Near unwavering support. I just hate all the pc hackers

[ebon pilot]

who tf playing console games with a kbm

[arctic grove]

In general devs have to get their shit together

[fossil herald]

rainbow six players

you have no idea

[weak vector]

spoiler: ||they won't, they never will||

[arctic grove]

Activision and dice both suffer from cheating issues, I don’t blame the studios necessarily but it’s kinda ridiculous

[arctic grove]

[ebon pilot]

r6 players are a special needs group

[arctic grove]

The qol to be able to play with either is good imo, also in fps it’s generally advantageous to play with kbm

[gray comet]

Checks out, even Jäger is canonically on the spectrum

[fossil herald]

dont they call whatever they use the "xim" or "zim" ?

[arctic grove]

I think naturally more games and apps on consoles will move to support kbm anyways

[fossil herald]

nah they are going the other way actually

[arctic grove]

Yea although they tend to have bad input from what I heard

[ebon pilot]

devs should make use of gyro for aim

[fossil herald]

xbox rolling out a bunch of fixes to detect people using the "xim" device

[ebon pilot]

introduce flick stick to the masses

[arctic grove]

I admit I haven’t tried gyro yet but I know cod supports it

It’s something to look into some time

[fossil herald]

so they dont want people using kbm on xbox, it just attracts cheaters and this "xim" device situation proves it

[arctic grove]

That too yep

[next onyx]

I'll be honest. From what I've observed the ones I do kinda do.

I feel like frostbite just serves its own issues.

[arctic grove]

I think I know what you’re talking about, I didn’t know it was happening with xims but I heard they were doing that to crack down on Cronus

[fossil herald]

cronus oh yeah thats another wierd device right?

[arctic grove]

Yep those are the cursed ones

No recoil and other weird shit

[fossil herald]

people out here buying physical items with real money to cheat in video games

what happened to putting a piece of tape in the middle of your screen

or a sharpie marker crosshair

[arctic grove]

[next onyx]

Cronus is funny.

The people behind them actually can't play for shit and so their scripts just don't work.

[arctic grove]

I imagine even if they worked it’s like 10 minutes of fun
