So we just ignore the 14 hours a day where BFV has higher players then, kk cool
I can look at steam analytics and see that yes, it is generally for 14 hours
Is there a time for when the update drops tomorrow?
12PM most likely
im legitimately concerned for you at this point..
i thought you were just taking the piss for most of this.. but now i dont think so
Really keen to try it, might finally be able to change my name…
2042 has generally a peak of 20k players (Higher on a Saturday) BFV has over 20k players for 12-14 hours most days, with a peak of around 40k
bfv? why did your name stop you from playing?
Because they are changing the heli assist in this update
It’s not stopped me from playing, it’s just that god damn flight assist is finally being fixed
AKA, the reason for their name
ohh gotcha
Ironic that it’s the very last update that fixes it when it was the very first major one that broke it
But if I can fly the thing without my arm aching and while actually feeling in control I might just about be happy
I dont think its the last update, but regardless its good that its being fixed.
I just hope it lets me actually aim the damn thing
Aims up > gets forced down = fun! /s
I just want to be able to point down and not have to keep pulling
I don’t need it to assist me with flight when I turn the damn setting off
Was the opposite for me. Especioally with how much heli elevation matters when fighting other choppers.
Like it’s straight up the setting not working that’s taken too long to fix
Why are we using steam charts
Before now, if any other heli got above you, you were just fucked
Its all we have data wise
Most BF players are either on console or they already bought on origin
So I wouldn't entirely make conclusions from that
Its a good way to estimate
If BF launched on steam day one then I'd trust it
It just infuriated me beyond belief
But I never had a complaint with the actual flight model itself, so I’m half hopeful half cautious with this one
two peopling talking about numbers were only using steam charts and hopefully he was knowing that wasnt the full picture either
Could just reduce the roll rate rather than overhauling the entire model
unfortunately its our only source for numbers
If they just copy pasted the attack heli model, id be happy enough haha
But I just really hope it’s not too big of a change to feel like it’s relearning the whole thing
eh cant even draw conclusions ov the overall player base with this information either. we have no clue about the split between the platforms
Had so much fun zipping between stuff with the current model
I mean, I can kind of see why some people might find it harder to shoot, but it’s been the same for so long now
So ultimately I just hope it still feels good even if it’s in a different way
Based on the patch notes, ill guess it will feel less bouncy to fly.
You know how you can quickly go up and down, while swinging left and right
Do do hope they have also reduced auto levelling when nosing up tho...cos they dont specifically mention that in the notes.
Just get rid of any auto levelling
It’s not needed with the setting off, and It feels like they keep trying to reduce it but not remove it
Like with the ground magnetism issues that coincidentally began cropping up after the bug started, they kept reducing it but never removed it outright
I know the majority of the playerbase don’t care but it just really grinds me gears
This issue makes me never play that vehicle...it was one of my favorites in past games. I hope its much better
Yeah I put it down for the longest time until they made some patches several YEARS after launch
you know, I was really hoping that buying the premium battlepass would stop the game advertising it to me on launch
haha
Do you find it weird that the Nightbird has no AA missiles, or are you fine with it not having them?
I think it might have been a bit to OP as an air clearing vehicle if it had AA missiles
Fine, mostly since I just selfishly want nightbird fights to be miniguns only
Yeah, same. I hate how reliant some parts of games become on lockons
Fighting with or against missiles isn’t particularly fun
Like I honestly wish air superiority banned lock ons
I’ve had fights against attack heli uses who use them EXCLUSIVELY, even if I’m right in his face having just popped flares
Or if vehicles spawned with a timer on missile use, then had an extremely long recharge
I do wish the missiles on the attack heli had a bit higher velocity, but yeah, they shoudl just use the guns haha
BF4 hydras had much faster flight speed IIRC
Do still wish they’d implement the same projectile origin point that the portal aircraft use just to make landing shots easier
But I do get why they’ve got convergence
I get why they added it, but it does make these vehicles harder to use/understand

well there you go lol ^
cool beans
day 182 waiting for pre-order for the new bf
if the game comes out next you should be able to pre-order it by the end of the year of early 25 I guess
nah
how do i play the dead space thing
pre orders are only ever 2 months at a maximum, at a minimum it's coming out the second half, so there's no early 2025 availability
so in 3 hours?
1:45
hm in cod you can already pre-order and it's still more than 4 month away from release
Yo I just recently started playing 2042 and I dont see in game where the s7 end date is, anyone know when its supposed to end?
k thnx
it's the last season
why is it so convoluted to report hackers at the end of the round?
guess that dude's getting a free pass due to UIX design on EA's part
it's 2024 I'm boggled why it isnt a tab right click report in the menu lobby/etc
the battle pass end date is when season 7 ends
Is battlefield 2042 worth it
No
In peak hours, I'll dead ass hit like 2-3 empty lobbies before getting into a match it's fkn crazy
it's ok, not particularly great
active enough that you'll find games in the main playlists
damn
if it's on sale then for sure but it's free with EA play anyways
when does the season end tho? if its the last season will it just stay indefinately then?
no
In what way is it convoluted.
Social > Recent Players > Find Player > Report and give reason
it ends and that's it
Season ends in like...3.5 weeks?
think it's about there yeah
so you think in the year 2024 what you just said makes more sense than me tabbing, right clicking a name, and reporting it like 90% or more of other prominent, AAA titles allow?
you could have reported the guy ingame
I swear this is why I've said companies do really bad UIX testing and I've seen this firsthand in my own experiences in both hardware and software
would have been faster
skill issue
or it didn't align with his ingame name maybe
I'm sure, this is why this franchise is plummeting
hows the MTX sales revenue working out because I'm pretty sure it's a quarter or less what activision-blizzard makes, sucks to suck and not listen to feedback/testing/etc
WTF is tabbing?
they do listen to feedback though
hitting tab?
what?
hell any combo of buttons would work, it's 2024 just put at the top "LB+RB: SCOREBOARD OPTIONS" or some shit
this is UIX basics
Hitting tab when?
again the issue is after a game, where there was a pretty blatant hacker, I couldn't even find the dude to report because you don't even have easily accessed records for the last match and you have to rely on finding their name in a list it might not even show up in
Whats thew issue with going to all players> doign the same thing?
at the ending screen when it shows final scores?
again you can report semi-easily IN GAME
Same as out of game
but at the END OF THE GAME, bro it's such a shitshow it's unreal
I felt like I was doing DMV shit
I dont see any issues with reporting from the social screen. You are just being obtuse with your requests.
Needing to make the scoreboard interactive is a whole lot more UI work
so then EA needs to maybe just provide people logs/a UIX page where you can see past scores? I know it entails holding more data/info but I mean fuck dude it's 2024 I think you can hold onto "LAST MATCH PLAYED" scorechart.
for 24 hours.
I doubt they look at scoreboards to judge cheating players
and their whole UI is dogshit, I'm just flabberghasted in 10 years they haven't changed specific things including how they approach building the UIs
Unecessary data to hold onto
again I'd talk more about the UIX but I'll refrain, all I can say is they should listen more or outright change how they approach shit
because just buying the game for friends and watching them UIX struggle is intense for me
we went and played 1942 again last night
and then some 4, and then some COD4
let me just say the mushiness and the UIX slop is noticeable for Battlefield
Reporting in all of those games is far more jank, so not sure how this even holds up
let me guess theyve played those games alot already
and very familiar with the ui
I'm just saying when you kill in 1942 and COD4, you don't feel like you have to stare .5 seconds after shot to see if you did shit
and even in 1942, it's clear you killed someone
via UI AND animations
they are older games, but it's clear just handling shit the realism creep into games makes them perform and handle way shittier
it's more to do with how the engine/etc handles shit and how taxed frostbite/EA tickrate is IMO
but that's off the UIX topic
Cant say ive had any issues using default UI and settings
the main issue I have is the UIX is just sloppily designed
Disagree, but ok. youre entitled to an opinion
I mean I have awards in that field
and retired from UIX shit
I feel like I have some idea of what works
Portfolio link?
I'd rather not, I'll send a clip of something and that should be enough
anyways
I think they should listen more
and just maybe re-evaluate how they look at feedback or improvements/changes in the UIX/gameplay functionality
the biggest focus should be better ways to incorporate team balancing, focusing on anticheat (Apex is doing pretty well with it), and fixing the UIX design
apex was one of the first games to shadowban people
it's still the most effective way to police and do anticheat
if you think otherwise you are clearly not involved in the anticheat/antihack industry
we are talking about it, you brought up cod without any reason
youre not either man
Nobody wants to talk about apex
how do you know?
You just mentioned cod here kid
nah fuck that I've seen my savant friends do tarkov stuff
by you saying apex is doing well
apex is doing well, have you seen it's competitors?
Its doing fine, for as long as its been out. Tho they are making some very questionable changes regarding monetization
@vocal tusk check dms
either way I hope the next iteration of battlefield just isn't a copypaste clone imitation of competition, I could easily see them dropping something innovative or really fresh/out of pocket and it doing well.............or it sucks and well people won't be too mad compared to where the franchise is right now
if they released another hardline-level game I doubt people would care much
but if say it worked, or the concept popped........bam game not dead, franchise has more room to grow
They need to go back to their roots before they kill the franchise
^
I keep saying this fucking over and over and over
just redo 1942 or something at this point, it's really just not a hard concept
You keep saying cod this and apex that bud

Remake 1942 when BF1 exists?
bf1 was entirely different really
So you really think people would play a 1:1 remake of 1942?
I think if they did a limited version where it was maybe even a DLC or optional dealio under 10$, it could absolutely pop off
clone the top 5-6 maps from 1942
Berlin, Omaha, Wake, Bulge, etc
look at 1942 for the xbox 360
Bf5 tried that.. flop
Dont think there is an audience for such a thing TBH
BF5 tried fucking everything all at once and tried to push PC/personal narritive in a fucking game where we never knew the names or wanted to know the names of the people involved
Isnt 1943 on xbox, and it flopped in sales?
EA has this bad habit of taking IPs and trying to reconvert them
look at Medal of Honor
it's a running joke on that one
battlefield is no different, they tried the operator stuff when it was painfully obvious nobody wanted it even early on
it flopped because people want that bf2 "factions on factions" vibe
the things they tried with Medal of honor werent all that bad IMO. Some decent games. the competition there was just too much, including from their own games.
not "angel unfortunte" spam
Medal of Honor is exactly what they are doing to battlefield
and it's so painful they can't see it
I've said this outloud 2-5 times
pull the game back to the roots, stop trying to clone competition
you have Apex and other franchises for that
hell, spinoff battlefield at worst
OPERATION BATTLEFIELD or some shit
idk
BFV, attrition stuff aside went back to BF roots in a lot of ways, players didnt like it...just wanted BF3/4 remakes
I mean to be frank a lot of players want the worst parts of 1942 and 3/4
which is the "I feel invulnerable with 3 of my friends who know how to cheese the game"
look at 1942 casual gun gameplay vs moongamer shit
you ain't killin the moongamer medic
Don't forget bf2 was legit especially for comp.
gl
^
someone in here said 2 had no competition
I laughed so hard
it was the ONLY TIME battlefield has had functional comp gameplay
TWL
CAL
8v8, 5v5
I guess 20id was just a joke
yeah lol
it was silly, it was how I got started in the industry
Hewlett Packard picked me up from that shit

that whole stuff they did in 5+ for squad comp was bad because they never gave the proper tools or info-tools for the community to do stuff
and the matchmaking was anti-competitive
so it died immediately
it wasnt a bad idea but just horrendous execution
also being frank the map design was pretty midtier for those
Lol well unfortunately they'll cater to younger crowds and implement whatever woke or political crap into their game just like cod in order to keep up with a somewhat decent player base. Until 6 months down the road when ppl get tired of it
Im mostly fine with the way games, even BF has gone down the route of MTX...its the way of the gaming landscape these days. the main think im not fine with is how community and player first features/functionality has played second fiddle to these things.
I'm fine with MTX but the MTX has to be reasonable to what is going on
like the deadspace stuff today, cool
it fits, awesome
Woke is when black people in muh video game
huh? I'm entirely fine with diversity in the game
Nah we had Irish before wokeism
I think the female soldier shit in bf5 was pushed way too hard
they should have never brought it up
at all
it should have just been added and not spoken about
and if someone asked go "well fuck women did fight in ww2, so yeah"
Plenty females in resistance durin war
Every time i played bfv I never once cared about it
yeah well there's plenty of simplesmoothbrainers who did care
and took it as an assault on their morals or some stupid deal
When you shove it down our throats, yes
yeah EA was not smooth with 5
Women in trailer = shoved down throat?
It was mostly fine til the whole "Dont buy it if you dont like it" thing happened
no they definitely spoke about the women way more than the trailer
Very true
I remember reading like 2-3 press pieces that were clearly EA-tailored
and it should have not been spoken about more than 2-3 lines
not some "WE ARE DIVERSE WE HAVE WOMEN IN THE SHOOTERS GAMES"
as if its crazy you're offering "100% beef now"
it gave me that vibe
I think it's a big tell of the last 2-3 games that EA found those type of "new innovative things" as worthy to speak about that much, and not stuff like say levelution evolving or higher tick rate
because playing the game at 30 tick rate is worse than playing magic the gathering online in regards to response-time
Current gen and PC is 40 IIRC. But I agree it should be higher (even tho tick rate is not the only defining factor regarding snappiness or hit detection )
45hz
when did it bump up?
is the deadspace event fun?
not sure that was the reason I updated but didn't find out it didn't open until UTC12
gonna try it in 30 minutes
same, I have some PVE friends and was hoping this mode would get them more comfortable with BF/etc
i wish they told us the time beforehand lol
plus it looks fun, dead space was one of the first products I had a deeper look at even though it wasn't my genre/etc
was crazy to see that franchise grow from nothing
that was like..........2007/8?
yea, im too scared to play Dead Space lmao
but i hope its scary in this mode bc i dont think BF ever did anything like this
oh dude I remember playing it and I was in a public environment the first time I played it.............you could hear people gasp and stuff from other booths
it was funny lol
damn lol I bet, looks cool lol
I remember a friend got stuck in a corner for like I shit you not 20 minutes and the booth lady/guy just sat intently trying to figure out what the hell my friend was trying to do
A) you don't wanna tell people how to play the game and B) even in an event/demo/E3 style environment there's still stuff to learn and report back :3
for sure, my guess is that the map for this mode isn't really a Deadspace one?
no idea honestly
ah ok
The nightbird is a bit more sluggish to use now and has more weight, but IMO it feels better than before now.
is dead space thingy out now?
That's an absolutely gorgeous model.
Contain. Survive. Extract. This is Outbreak ⚠️
🎮 4 Players, PVE.
🎯 Contain the horde and capture objectives until exfil.
Welcome to #Battlefield | Dead Space 🫡
Really like what they did with ribbon rewards for this event. Having it be double progression for Outbreak allows people who don't want to play it to still get rewards in regular modes while still incentivizing people to play it, a major step up from the last event game mode's system IMO.
I’m still peeved they gave the goats skin to casper out of all specialists
wonder what this means for BF.
talking about the new event.
a Dead Space crossover was kinda unexpected.
kinda feels like EA is trying the XDefiant thing.
Should do a star wars crossover next
Isaac will be the next specialist
they don't own a SW licence anymore AFAIK.
COD crossover
Did this update bring back holding three packs of C5 or is it still two?
Not trying to sound like I’m complaining but why are the majority of bf 2042 players so bad at the game, Im by no means a demon on the sticks but I haven’t had a game where I’m most kills and most flag caps by a tremendous margin, which is why i ask the question why are the majority of players not killing or capping flags
Just the average bf player
for a lot of people the core gameplay experience is getting spawn killed constantly
The folks who say ‘you spawn, run a bit then die’
Wish the games could teach more of the actual gamesense concepts you need so that people can enjoy it more
Not long before I can try out the nightbird now
God I hope it’s fixed
Go play enough BT matches then come back bud
It's mostly fixed, but under certain extreme situations it does still have some auto leveling.

If it feels gone then I should be content
Still find it stupid but I’m tired of trying to raise awareness of it
same thing there and once again for frontlines “bud”
Gorgeous.
Looks nice. Pp29 one is good too. Pity the pistol is kinda terrible.
Eh it looks good within the context of the gun.
no line gun skin or javelin gun but they get the 3 most iconic ones so i can’t be upset
The skin is good, the weapon is bad
is it really that bad?
Just worse than any of the burst pistols or revolvers
Your 1.69 kd says otherwise
Bad in the context that other weapons make it irrelivant

this the same guy who gets banned from fast food joints?
Need to go off topic now bud?

Quit it.
1.69 is a decent KD, above average
you don’t need to go positive to be top of the leaderboard do you really not get that?
i guess you’ve never been there
Yeah, just use no weapons and play falck to be top
Other way to climb leaderboard is to spam something
Smoke nades, ammo box, spam revives.
spam like annoying comments that have nothing do with the question that was asked?
Wait a sec bud, first thing you said was that bf 2042 players are bad
especially on frontlines, i am partial to angel tho just for the rocket refills for my teamates
i was asking why they’re consistently bad, trying to figure out if it was the game itself or the players but you wanted to be a “toxic commenter”
The new gamemode is basically a full xp aim trainer mode
As it should be.
I won’t turn my nose up at free xp
what the heck, isaac is a paid skin?
Such a mode existing would have stopped a lot of the XP farm server spam on portal
it’s EA we shouldn’t be surprised
Of course it's paid haha
i think the bundles is 2,200 not sure how much the goat is individually
Complete the battle pass to earn coins to buy it lol
i still have some leftover coins. i dunno how much
the time is now since the mode gives a metric butt ton of xp
The mode is pretty farmy but too bad you can't get tier 1 on it.
Just use claymores in place of c4.
i got to level up some guns i don’t use often which was cool
Would have picked it up if it were for an engineer. I never play Casper, so I won't bother.
that’s what i’m saying, clarke is literally an engineer also why casper he’s a snooze fest to play
Having 3 packs of C5 was super useful when when your team never bothers to take out vehicles so it was nice to have the right amount that you could do it yourself
battlefield "engineer" is a bit different from space engineer
The issue was the c4 was available on Sundance.
If they were properly balanced around it then sure.
It still is
Is that one of the collab skins?
Its the only character collab skin
Just wasn’t sure if it was a vanilla skin
Yeah it's the dead space skin for the mp28.
Anyways, updating now, the moment of truth
Plasma cutter specifically.
I do like the new camera for the Nightbird
Does it pivot in a similar way so it remains fairly still as you strafe side to side?
That’s one thing I could appreciate about it
Yeah and the sad part was that Sundance was already so heavily nerfed when her tracker grenades were easy to get away from and the didn't deal much damage to begin with but the damage got nerfed before they took those away and then they reduced the amount of C5 to carry from 3 down to 2 and now thats only useful if the vehicle is already damaged
Not really
Not unless the vehicle is already damaged
They must have changed the health on vehicles since last time I played because I tried taking out a tank and it laughed it off basically
You place the C5 on the rear, same as every past BF game
It does 1.5X damage
Same as all rear hits
Every past BF game also gave you 3 packs of C4 so why the change? Why is it an issue now?
Not true
pfew, got 3k stored in 2042. tiem to get isaac
Its an issue because 9/12 specialists, 3/4 classes had access to the most effective anti vehicle charge
It made engineer irrelivant, when Sunance and mackay were better at doing theire job
*due to their extreme high mobility gadgets
Because of specialists.
Sundance specifically.
Mackay was worse IMHO
At this point they should just take Sundance out of the game lol they've already nerfed the hell out of her lol
Just requires better timing and more skill to do the same things now
Right. Next thing to do is limit her wingsuit usage per match
Or just get better at the game
Im decent at it
Learn it more, since you didnt seem to even know that you could still easily one hit kill vehicles with 2 C5
And if you want 3 C5, play an engineer/anti-vehicle class
Mackay was ultra easy to balance versus Sundance.
Now if you get grappled by mackay it's your fault.
Placing 3 packs on a vehicle anywhere was more convenient
Play engineer to do the same thing
👍
Games shouldnt be about convenience. they should be about balance
Maybe, if I download the game again. I'd give it a go
is this the channel to ask for 2042 help in?
Ah yes. Smokers shooting through smoke and one hit killing you very fun.
live nightbird changes reaction
then i've got a dishonored run to record but that's irrelevant
Gonna try out the jet cannons first though
Oh yeah that damage change is noticeable
Still dont quite see why the 25s needed nerfing given they weren’t ever really a major threat to infantry unless the pilot can actually aim
Oh baby we are so back
Definitely a big nerf to side to side strafing
But given how many people complained about how it was hard to hit I can see why
And the forward auto levelling is still unfortunately present
But that newfound control is basically a buff
Daamn that feels so much better
Really should have been like this from the get go
although something really wacky happens when your hull gets disabled
Does it freeze up a little?
it pivots down incredibly quickly
and constantly
feels more like a bug
but by Jove does it feel better
You don't get a discount on the bundle even if you get the mp28 skin...
i keep getting
Test or debug mode must be disabled to start the game.```
and
``This software cannot be used at the same as the game. Please make sure its not running or restart your PC: Securtiy Voilation (18446744073179431939)``
when trying to run the game
As part of #Battlefield 2042 - Update #7.4 we have also made some additional changes to the XFAD-4 Draugr.
The following changes are now live:
▫️ Lowered the radius of the Kerosene Bomb from 20m to 18m.
▫️ Lowered the radius of the Kerosene Bomb's lingering fire upon explosion from 20m to 18m.
We anticipate these changes should bring the XFAD-4 Draugr back into a balanced state, however, we'll continue to look at the efficiency and make further changes if necessary.
Thanks!
Disable your cheats
i dont have any
this is to do with signature enforcement, you can't have test signing for drivers enabled
ive never heard of that, thanks
the game enforces the use of tpm and secure boot for windows 11, any form of test signing will not have the game boot, vanguard has the same enforcements
Will do nothing when the real issue is that fire goes through geometry. K tks bye
as are any unsigned drivers that are installed
Drops kerosene bomb on building > fire clips through the whole building > everyone inside and outside dies
i got no clue, ill need to google all this.
Did you previously follow any "Debloat your graphics driver" YouTube videos
test enforcement is a windows startup option, you may have enabled it, alternatively ^
obviously make sure it's not one of those fake optimised windows installations
no but i do have a slimmed down iso
Because loads of those have you kill parts of the driver, making you run it unsigned to do so
ahh ok, i built the iso manually but probably did something like that
Makes sense if thats the case then.
those isos strip out critical windows functionality they do not do as they state
literal scams for users to install and backdoors to malware
"Your OS now uses 400MB less RAM, and 50 less processes*"
*Issues encountered by doing this are your own fault
lol yeah like the number of processes is a problem
Maybe if youre using 2003 Celeron hehe
alright, clean install time then.
is sundance really just bad in certain maps? i feel like half the time im just walking across the map with him. or are there unlocks/perks that let him fly more often?
is BF now Singleplayer with the addition of Coop/Muliplayer or MMO? or is it still like fortnite where u have to have Internet to play?
no perks, its just map dependant really
if you're on console you need whatever subscription is needed to play online, as there is no singleplayer component at all
bruhhhhh whatttt nahhh
well, there's solo coop vs bots but that needs such online subs too
so the game is actually not a game u own and fully download on ur device? like Need for Speed?
Its all online
not quite following what you mean, but you download it, then to access the game you need that online requirement
You cant play it offline
isnt fifa also Offline Playable?
probably
Fifa isnt server based gameplay
then why not BF
I know it's got split screen so that part probably doesn't
cause bf is only multiplayer
the games that have campaigns can be played without, but this one doesn't have that
Even solo/co-op games are on hosted servers.
exactly
but whyyy if bots are a thing how can i not run my own non dedicated server on my device like in other games (Need for Speed)
You can play alone against bots, but your friends can join you. Online is always needed
Because this is not that game
so i dont own anything i got achieved etc? so if the servers shut down all will be gone?
When servers go down, you wont be able to play the game. Same as the multiplayer aspect of any other FPS game
but ark does it well?
Ok and? Im not tech support, you already got your answer
Why do I care what other games do
lol
do you get anything special for completing outbreak?
i thought i get more sry
now ur rude, cuz i care, thats why im asking
I answered you 5 separate times, only for you to say...but X game has it...just accept it and move on, or dont
he's not rude
And stop tagging me
What do you guys think of bf 2042
6.5/10
you asked this yesterday
anyways
4.5 at release
is there any other bf title that has what i need?
no
bruh
Any past BF game with single player allows you to play that single player offline. No other game (Apart from maybe BF2) allows offline play against bots
thank u
Bare in mind that BF2 is almost 20 years old
depends what you're after
read reviews and decide for yourself
All reviews are bad lol
but i cant read reviews of updates or can i?
Or if you have 6 bucks to spare, just buy it and if you dont like it...refund or dont play it. Its the price of a small starbucks 😛
I'm sure
too many consumers nowadays looking for other people to tell them to buy something
just watch no commentary gameplay then
a stream, anything
figure out what it is you like about bf games and see if it has what you'd enjoy
BF streams are painful to watch. IMO BF is one of the most boring games to watch a streamer play
bf 2042 is cool but i dont like the feeling of servers shutting down like hyper scape and not be able to play it
then you wont like battlefield 3/4/5/1 lol
Servers wont be shutdown for another 15 years, its not something you should worry about
well i guess then
battlefield 3 already shutdown on consoles (old gen)
Isnt BF3 gone even on current/last gen consoles
when did it came out?
You sure, I think only BF4 is
yeah they specifically closed them only
PS3/Xbox 360 still works on PS4 era
nevermind you're right
Specifically, the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 versions of Battlefield 3, Battlefield 4, and Battlefield: Hardline (released in 2011, 2013, and 2015 respectively) will all be delisted from digital storefronts on Wednesday, 31st July.
multiplayer ceases from November
Yeah, this announcement made it confusing
Please note: Battlefield 3 will still be available for play on PC. Battlefield 4, and Battlefield: Hardline will still be available for play on PC, Xbox One, and PlayStation 4. The announcement today does not affect these titles and platforms.
they'll probably shutter 3 once the ps6 era consoles come about
Kinda annoying if they do, especially for projects like Venice unleashed
What I mean, is if they totally remove it from sale
they'll have to inevitably if the servers go
unless they split the single player which I very much doubt
I mainly mean since VU requires the game, even those wanting to play that wouldnt be able to (Without resorting to piracy/dodgy reseller sites)
oh yeah true
they could pull a Ubisoft move and give modders free reign but this is EA so I very much doubt it
Would be cool to keep it listed for those purposes, and especially since it has single player
Dont call me Tom! 😄
there i changed it for ya
lol
ha dont worry
You can't say stuff like that. Now that's all I want to do 😢
You probably have the power to change my name to Tom also lol
don't know what you are talking about
I just realized, DICE has come full circle. Launch 2042 and one of the earliest Portal events (when DICE/Ripple created featured modes very early) was an unintentional PvE zombie botfarm (that DICE disabled in days because they were specifically trying to fight XP farming in Portal). Now, the seemingly last official event of S7 is another PvE zombie mode (functionally). Dunno why but I find this amusing. Gotta give the new mode a shot but seeing pretty meh reactions so far.
hi
Wassup
:D
joined to ask a question rq, is bf42 just racist towards amd drivers rn or is this just normal xd my games hard crashed like 9 times even after driver complete reinstall
normal temps so its not my pc imploding either xd
def not spec issue 7900xt + 7800x3d so
i just wanna play outbreak :<
Might be DDU time
remember to CUT OFF THEIR LIMBS
AMD did have driver issues previous with certain shaders 2042 used. Maybe there is a new issue like that from some skin/mesh used in the new mode?
I think previously it was cased by a Sundance skin
They're such a menace.
The only work around at this stage is to use another graphics card, which quite frankly is very unreasonable. They should just disable the skin(s?) causing crashes...
I think the newest map Haven also had a similar issue with AMD cards.
Which also was happening on Xbox consoles IIRC
Yoo anyone playing the new outbreak mode?
ye, why?
Took me 1 minute to find 4 players 
can you unlock weapons against bots or does it have to be pub lobbies?
Yes we are no better than them
Fastest way to unlock is solo conquest on easy mode and i normally play on only specific maps , you can drop around 180 kills a game if you play it right
yes, you can unlock weapons vs bots
ty ppl, cause i am not doing some of these in real lobbies lmfao
is there a way to permanently delete the game license from my steam if a friend sent it to me and i refunded it?
Last major event for the game and they cant even get the bundle discount working
Don't spend money
Where TF is the discount. I unlocked all the rewards
Not hard
I have 2400 saved from all seasons but i still want a discount so i dont burn it all
Just burn 'em, DICE (well, soon Motive) prob won't run discounts too often. Never really have. I burned mine from older seasons buying a final few Gammy Falck skins.
Dead space event came outta nowhere so who knows if another cool skin comes around later
I just like promises being kept
If i burn em and they fix the bug in a few days and its like half off imma be pissed
Ive never bought a cosmetic in any game in my entire life with real money. The only cool thing about this event is the skin
And besides, What's the chance of this event being very uniquely different
Aite fuck it. I got it. 2200 free earned boins has been used on isaac. Now i have 200 to spare for a charm
The store just UPDATED LOOOOOOL it is now 1,769
Guess you should have waited the (*checks notes) 9 minutes for the store price to update
Well i was looking at all their posts for the past half an hour and couldnt find shit
And rest of chat doesnt care enough to know that info
Nothing to do with posts, storefronts just take time to update when user action is involved.
Lol
Kek
So the Isaac skin is for casper?
Why did the trailer imply you could use your own weapons/skins in the mode
Railgun is nowhere to be seen
To excite you and make you want to spend money on the exciting new bundles.
Yeah I was going to buy it lol, but if I can’t even use it what’s the point
You unlock more weapons as you progress through the round. Im not sure if the weapons themselves are randomized yet tho
It’s basically the same weapons for each buy station
Plus, they don’t have equipped skins - massive oversight
Besides this though, the mode is great - wish it wasn’t limited time and I wish it came during Season 6 so we could have possibly got more maps support
Give me the Frostbite tools and I will single-handedly do it for them, free of charge 😂
Have you built anything with portal build tools?
what makes bf2042 better than bf5
No they aren't
There's like no rng aside from bot spawns, every run plays almost exactly the same
Thanks for the info. Not been on line properly to play it yet
Progression is capped to level 12
I know. Just in that one of the first events they created was an (unintentional) zombie XP farm, and now the last official event of S7 (apparently) is functionally the same thing, but with a few hours of devwork instead of dropping players into a map and endlessly spawning AI soldiers with knives.
Hold up...This new mode uses the same servers and tick rate as solo and coop...
Unable to queue into any mode. 2 min timer. Error over and over
Welp these 2 friends are never playing again. They just came back for first time since launch
Fucking christ
20hz servers. Was wondering why it felt so terrible. Thats about enough of this game mode for me
So, new event dropped and is already dead?
So buggy of this mode
Good luck queuing anything else
the mode is fine, it just feels like playing the game on a PS4.
No sound, sometime you hold the gun but there’s no real gun
No issues finding games. Just completed all the ribbons
lol 😂 okay not pc player
I am on PC
20hz jesus
Noice
why is it that every time i try to pick this game back up the servers implode on themselves 😭
Because you return on the days where new updates are released, and new updates usually come with server/connectivity issues?
hearsay
dang
and I thought the mode could be fun
silly of me really
Its fine, just plays like your on the last gen consoles. Not sure why they decided to use this 20hz version
Minigmap and HUD feels like it updates at 25 FPS 😄
Yup, its really bad. The animations dont work half the time
I remember when they changed it in coop, I had like 0 recoil animations and I thought I discovered a glitch or something xd
ADS time is slower, it does actually feel like im playing a different game
that's just sad at this point, it's not disappointing, it's not making me mad, just sad
I mean like, just ticking a box to make it 45hz would make the game mode 3 times better
whatever
The hz will increase depending on how many people buy the casper skin (it's a new community event)
Incredible. Just incredible. They showed off the skins in the trailer as if you could actually use them while in the mode but your guns remain as base guns so 2042's final trailer still managed to lie. Good thing the mode sucks and i was only playing it cos friends asked me
does bf2042 have generally faster dps and lower recoil than bf5
Yes
my thanks
👍
Got the W in the end (And completed season T1).
The mode is really fun, its just hard to get past how weird it feels to play at 20hz.
anyone else having issues launching the game with this new update?
There are definitely way more terrible collabs than this one
This one was meh
The mode is better than the past one with the geists tho
guys i just got back after a year but all my keybindings got reset ?
To even get the worst collab it'll have to do something ungodly
i didn't get a dead space vibe from the event at all lol
angry mannequin shooter was kinda fun I guess
Meh is being kind
its just one map right?
The rewards are meh but not utter dogshit
The themed bundle is really cool
Cool to look at, at least compared to some past events where they looked like shit
Id play it more if it didnt look and feel like this because of the server hz. Most disapointing thing for me. Such an odd corner to cut
On wave 18 rn 🥱
Oh the most dogshit part of this event is the 20hz
Yup, super weird thing to do
I was falling asleep after wave 30
Its extremely easy if you pick someone like falck, zain or Crawford
You can easily complete all your guns on this mode
You can only get to lvl 12 on any progression, but its a decent mode for levelling weapons.
Lis is unplayable but again why would you pick lis 
If someone is grinding this game I’d say they’re weird
Id prefer to play this (On a 45hz server) than unlocking against bots on breakthrough
Does it still take 2,400 kills to unlock the JDAM for the Draugr
the new mood is meh tbh if fun if you just wanna chill with the boys an lvl guns but that's it
I like the idea tho. If they were to add stuff like this to a future game as an LTM, but with polish to things like enemy variety, appearance and animation, it would be cool. The idle animation on the geists just being a soldier standing animation is just funny 😄
i like it but it need's more its only 30 waves an theres only 3 types of ai attacking you
Well I think there are 4 or 5, but they are only differentiated at a distance by a different UI element
its the melee one, smoker an the jugg
the settings were reset in a prior season with a update months ago, it was deliberate, you'll need to rebind them
There is shotgun one and maybe pistol
is there a map code for a shooting range that still works ?
AAN7z doenst work anymore
oh ok ty
https://portal.battlefield.com/experience/package/era?playgroundId=7ef466b0-6bab-11ee-b1c7-ca90264f8cda save and copy the mode, there isn't a specific code
There are:
- Geist
- smoker
- juggernaught
- scourge
The zombie mode is RIPPING my cpu APART
I try to play it and I always crash bc of regular lag spikes due to my crappy wireless wifi adapter and I check task manager and it apparently uses 100% Cpu and like 1000 Mb memory
.
the zombie actually runs smother than normal on my toaster
thanks for the help !
np
depends what you mean by alive, has a semi stable player count
Not home rn and I don't have my stuff memorized lol hold on
intel(r) core(tm) i5-9400 cpu I believe unless I'm stupid
yeah time for an upgrade lol
6 thread machine
Lol im only a teen with out a job I ain't got money 😭
your processor doesn't have hyperthreading you won't be able to run Chrome fully without maxing utilisation
Ah yeah when I use opera I check task manager that also uses like 1000 memory and when I play roblox it says about 2000 memory or something
opera gx
yeah not going to twist words your hardware is woefully too bad for this game nevermind anything else
isn't a game issue you just are going to have to scrap that system
I can run games like well without a problem like sea of thieves and destiny 2 and stuff but battlefield is like the only game that gives me a problem
it's definitely not the only game that's going to give you issues lol
Intel 9000 platform is so fucked for lower end users upgrading to higher tier CPUs tho. Most of the CPUs are missing HT, up until the 9900k
besides the constant lag spike issues that came with my wireless wifi adapter I got a couple months ago
Nowadays yeah lol, good thing I only really play destiny and left 4 dead 1 & 2
WTF was intel smoking in that generation haha
it was deliberate
Only thing about l4d is the lag spikes again I be getting stomped by zombies and then the "Reconnecting to game" or wtv comes up cuz of the lag spike
they didn't give hyperthreading to the the 9 series generation because it was still dominated by 8 threads in the mid generation, they didn't want you to upgrade to a 9700k, only a 9900k
I haven't time them so idk if I can predict them or something
timed*
When I get home I can get my full stuff but I'm at a baseball game prob won't be home for another hour 30
If your motherboard supports it, just buy a cheap 8700k and swap it in haha
I may have overkill specs for that game, but I do NEED them for running mods and plugins
For my server
even with the board it's questionable any sort of purchase is worth it because the platform is that old
Have you encountered the bug where if you go into your addons while they load it turns all of them on? if not just a lil ps
AM4 boards even on the extreme cheap end are like $50 normally
8700k would give you an insanely better experience in most games tho
I used to make that mistake so many times and would have to turn all my subscribed addons off lol
For probably very little money
Where it doesn't "successfully " loads all your mods?
Yeah sometimes
But usually when you enter in the game, it's all good
little yes from MSRP but intel generally have higher prices on the second hand market because there's no other option
they have sustained higher for longer e.g. the 9900k, the 8700k will be similar
8700ks on ebay for 60-80 bucks.
I could probably ask for new parts or a new part on my birthday or a holiday or something
It doesn't have to be brand new
Used parts are okay
I know lol
about the same price as a 2700x, once you add in a cheap AM4 board it becomes a extremely difficult purchase to justify
With exceptions like PSU and HDD
2600x will be cheaper even
Or a classic B450/R5 3600 combo haha
I need a new graphics card too I believe
yeah that too
Name ?
only thing I've upgraded since I got my pc back in like 2019 was my storage I got a 1tb
Uh hold
I can't find anything I'll have to wait till later sorry lol
all ik is that I have to run like all my games with low graphics
everything on low 😭
Thanks a fresh windows install without stripping fixed the issue
You really don't remember your PC.?
Is it pre built
were there any major balance changes in S7 ? i remem watching enders for some good gun recomendations but it's from S6
idk what the "meta" guns are atm
to vehicles yes
Thank Deco haha
guns not really
he stated the SVK is p good atm
I believe so I got it when I was way younger (I also barely know anything about PCs in general bc I'm an idiot and don't bother with some stuff)
was gonna thank them too but didnt wanna ping two people lol
you're good no need to thank me
I know I need to figure out more about my pc but I just play on it most the time 😭
It was stupid powerful when it relase, yeah. It has been nerfed a few times tho
it was bsod who asked
Glad its fixed tho. 😄
yeah, was my first time stripping an iso, noted that it isnt good for gaming 
I usually just install via world option, then debloat and remove just telemetry/cortana and crap like that manually
hmm whats the best way to achieve better fps on a potato?
Bring up the console command and type in light path something
For a cheap boost
light path?
- Install linux
- Configure each game for like a week
- Repeat every update
- Enjoy
why do none of the launchers work on engineer rn in 128 conquest?
User 1: How do I boost FPS in this game on my Potato PC?
User 2: Install an OS that the game doesnt even run on
Me: lol
So the game infact doesnt run on linux then
should i set it to 0 or 1
dude, that was linux joke, relax
it says result false in console tho
0
Is joking > gets told to relax because of their joke
Oh, mb
❤️
Came out 12 hours ago
I’m tier 70
no, no more sessons
There will be no new seasons. 7 is the last
Double XP weekends, Xp boosts along the battle pass, or XP boosts from having a prime subscription
man outbreak mode is basically free weapon level grind
While there will be no new seasons, there will most likely be a pacman event in a few months, in which the new gamemode is each person controlling pacman must eat every container on every map
So... the way the blood thirty cyborg zombies were intended are finally here. Lmao 🤣
Dice oh dice... lol
but it sucks if you already got all the weapons available to T1
yeah but if you haven't got them mastered yet you can use mode too as well
or maybe get some challanges done
whats the most populated game mode atm
i'm just doing infantry breakthrough and i am getting one second queue's
So what you guys thinking, new BF within a year?
probs already almost done with it if they rushed it like this one
Beta gonna be very telling if they have one
I haven’t start the event with Isaac from dead space? so tell me, is it different from the previous events? is it PvP??
lamo beta going to see the horrific mess it will be
think slim down cod zombies
still fun tho
I hope the next BF is good, all we got is BO6 later this year with shit eomm and not much else
zombies might be decent tho
I'm not going to say that but MWIII is def a reskin of MWII, I'm not preordering till beta tho. First time I've not done so. Won't be scammed again
I get more FPS in Cyberpunk than MWIII zombies. Sad
and open world zombies
nope
board the hell out of me
and i did get all the suff from s1 in it
It's the only reason I bought MWIII, super underwhelming
And recycled multiplayer
if it profits them more lol
Man
Is it too much to ask for a first person shooter game to have excellent solo mode
oh
i cant send screenshots
Ill just dm
@remote kiln @vocal tusk Do guys want the screenshot of my stuff like i said earlier or
no thanks
would it kill them to rent better servers for Solo/Co-op and outbreak modes?
what is this 1 tick bullshit
Oh and if EA Anti Cheat could not be a constantly crashing POS that'd be cool too
mmm that's a your software problem
why does outbreak says full xp but i cant farm mastery
you can farm mastery?
They should've made the last area an unlimited swarm.
Only player kills on mastery count.
Xp is for battle pass, attachments and ranking.
I don't have problems with the EA anti cheat. And I'm on a extremely budget setup. Lol
I know the new mode is shit, but I gotta give the devs credit. They made the robots throw molotovs at you because how else would they counter a crawford turret 
new mode is fun idk what your talking about
It's serviceable for the first run, but after that it's just lame because the difficulty is just so painfully easy even at round 30
na
Cod zombies exists. They had a lot to live up to
it is really easy though
