[hasty jolt]

thanks that worked

[silent perch]

hey folks anyone got setup advice for the 9800x3d? just come from a 12700kf with fresh windows install but the game is playing like ass 😕
specs; 9800x3d, 7900xtx, 32gb/6000/c32, 1000w, x870, gen4 nvmes
thanks

[naive ember]

Just get a console bud

[hasty anchor]

turn in documents config dx12 manually

[obsidian tide]

To confirm, Have you gotten the Chipset Driver for the motherboard as well as the GPU Driver, and Realtek driver if playing over Ethernet/wired?

[west storm]

Is their like a gun meta or use whatever you desire? Weapon wise.

[silent perch]

yes chipset done, gpu driver done, audio, ethernet, nvme, fresh game dl.

[obsidian tide]

Okay then. Are Vertical Sync and RTAO On?

[silent perch]

ill do that. not tried that before

[hasty anchor]

game runs smoother on dx12 you will notice a difference

for some reason i had to turn it on manually

[silent perch]

vs is off, is rtao ray tracing? that off if so

[hasty anchor]

u guys can even play rn?

[silent perch]

i think the game settings are mostly ok, im more concerned with bios setup for the 9800x3d. im seeing temps of 81c after an hours gaming. remounted the cooler twice so pretty sure its not that. i think the bios is auto overclocking but not familair with amd as been intel for a decade lol

[obsidian tide]

What this exists to do is set a legacy flag from BF1 and BFV, known as GstRender.Dx12Enabled from 0 to 1.

Battlefield 2042 already compiles shaders for DirectX 12, but some users report better performance by setting this flag versus without.

May be a placebo or ignoring the as-intended rendering pipeline, but hey, it never stopped users from doing it. This is in the vein of Unreal Engine 4 and 5 game players setting launch options such as -dx12 or -dx11 to swap to a stock engine pipeline, and ignore the one intended and customized for those games by default.

[silent perch]

done. will see how that feels next game.
any experience with pbo or amd bios settings? the cpu is running at 5450mhz which seems more than its advertised at?

[obsidian tide]

No. I never got firsthand experience with anything to do with XMP profiles directly. Best I could offer with my BIOS/UEFI firmware knowing is turning off CoolNQuiet or PowerNow! so that the CPU does not throttle if you do not have a High Performance (Max CPU Usage at all times) power plan set.

[vestal coyote]

Performance mode is fine on Armoury Crate right? that isnt the overclock mode cus i assume that's actually what the Turbo mode does

and it has a "Windows" option too which i assume is just default but behaves the same as performance

[silent perch]

i think the power plan is set to balanced, i havnt changed it yet anyway. but i will check to see if i can see that bios setting you mentioned. it does seem to downclock when under load

[vestal coyote]

has anyone tried DX11? wonder how BF2042 is on DX11

im assuming we all play it on DX12 by default?

[obsidian tide]

Well, yes, but the flag from BF1 and BFV that would say it is enabled is set to 0 (off) by default, which may lead players to assume it is not running on that API, or that it is on some lower feature level of it.

[ruby echo]

hi guys, same problem with dx12, any solutions?

[karmic oasis]

"why no one put ammo boxes?"

"lol, just respawn with ammo"

no wonder most loose

[west storm]

I'm just figuring out what guns I'm comfortable with and operator

[orchid tusk]

Chuck is all you need

a flooded out Florida map woulda been nice

[mighty crater]

anyone fancy playing with a noobie? just a round or two before i head to bed.

[west storm]

Interesting

[silent perch]

i prefer sundance.. real quick traversing the map and has a scatter grenade, heal and can carry c5.. but depends how you like to play... i like it fast and hard (giggedy)

[silent perch]

will be on tomorro eve for some games.. will put a shout on here for a squad or something

[west storm]

I am all over the place looking at operators than unlocking levels to get guns

I don't mind assault but part of me wants to find a decent support

[silent perch]

really depends on the lobby, i often run medic if the team is ass otherwise the tickets just go real fast. falck is my go to, the stim pen is clutch!

[mighty olive]

Battlefield: Porta Rossa

[brittle wind]

30 minutes of aimlabs per day, learn how to bhop if you don't know already

Don't try to do that in portal servers, most of them don't give you any unlocks

Except Cadwoman TDM

[low patrol]

.

[naive magnet]

Out of the blue, I'm suddenly getting error codes left and right and the game keeps crashing, is it best to just reinstall the game?

[swift mural]

hey guys i m not sure but i having issues with rog ally X with direct X error

is anyone running having this same issue

[naive magnet]

I've had the same ones

randomly

been playing this game for 2 years with no issues, this is within the last 2 weeks

[swift mural]

yea with my rog ally x just happern 2/16/25

with direct x

[naive magnet]

I'm using my Laptop; but have had the same direct X issues, and graphics card driver issues

I've already done everything that makes sense to me, outside of just reinstalling the game, was going to try that tonight

game keeps crashing on boot, or on game join

[swift mural]

oh i see

[chrome sable]

Alguien para irrupcion???

[swift mural]

well i know for sure its working on my laptop bf 2042 but my rog ally X im having issues

[naive magnet]

I'm trying to reinstall now - have you played more games on your rog ally, or your laptop?

My gut feeling is that there's some sort of corrupted save that's affecting boot - I have no problems with any other games, just BF2042

[swift mural]

well im right now doing a factory reset but i will let u know

holy cow

[west storm]

Yeah I don't know if I should run medic or ammo pouch too supply

[naive magnet]

ammo pouch will get your more xp

usually

[west storm]

Thanks.

[swift mural]

i have read the old mgs is bf 2042 having a amd compbitle issues

[west storm]

This morning someone slid, knocking my grenade back to me as I did.. I was like whaa

[naive magnet]

also good to set up "safe spots" to resupply - especially when there's a nice stalemate on a door or something, then lots of people will resupply for their grenades and such

[west storm]

You demons bunny hopping and stuff is wild

[west storm]

Valid. Thank you

[swift mural]

but medic help when resupply

[naive magnet]

if you're playing falck then you're likely able to dart them without needing a medic pack

more often than not, i'd prefer to die with full ammo, then to stay alive with no useful gadgets

yes - I'm having this problem as well, reinstalling the app

[gaunt timber]

All BF4 servers went belly up a while back. Maybe some EA server problem in 2042 too?

[naive magnet]

It was infrequently crashing for me a week ago, yesterday I literally couldn't boot a game - not sure what's causing it, but I just tried to reinstall the game altogether - hoping this works

nope didn't work

game is broken

[gaunt timber]

Steam or EA App?

[naive magnet]

EA App

I'll submit a ticket now - I've gotten all sorts of error codes, I've played this game literally 230 hours before any of these errors started showing up

Sounds a lot like this guy's problem, almost exactly the same

[naive ember]

Nah it's different

[swift mural]

wow bf2042 i was really having fun with this game

[naive ember]

Game is fine on console

[naive magnet]

nobody saying console isn't fine

[naive ember]

Everyone saying pc isn't fine

[naive magnet]

I went back 2-3 days in this discord and found multiple occurences of the same issue

[swift mural]

binge gaming whats ur specs on ur laptop

[naive magnet]

I7, 3070, 16GB DDR4 - no issues playing until last 2 weeks

[swift mural]

wow

well it should running more then pecfect

[naive ember]

Time to upgrade

[naive magnet]

I'm going to upgrade - but the hardware shouldn't have any issues running, as it hasn't had any issues in the last 2 years

[spring veldt]

everygame mod ei have fucking packet loss any way to fix that?

i have very good internet so idk why it happens

mode i *

[obsidian tide]

An every GPU compatible issue. Something is causing its rendering pipeline to corrupt and crash.

[pearl halo]

😂 I could open is successfully once and I did nothing

And now it won’t again

Big surprise

[tender swallow]

[naive magnet]

Have you had issues as well?

[bleak kelp]

Certain moods are dead on console tbh.

Modes*

Infantry rush is dead

[obsidian tide]

Yes. On loading into matches, eventually, a crash with a DirectX error will be sustained. Usually running out of memory to complete a call, heap issues, or Device Resets or similar hangs.

[naive magnet]

I'd venture to guess all of this is new within the last 2 weeks or so?

Have you contacted support or created some sort of ticket?

[long flint]

quickest way to unlock railgun? i do so little damage to vehicles honestly

[naive magnet]

I'd throw AP rounds on an LMG, or go with some AR and AP tube against bots

[long flint]

only got AP on sws

[naive magnet]

then LMG is probably better

[west storm]

What is the best way to level up to gain guns? ai?

[brittle wind]

Ribbons

[chrome sable]

Alguien para jugar frontline o irrupcion?

[rare egret]

kill bots breakthrough ship map

[west storm]

Appreciate it

[rare egret]

if you search "unlock farm 2.0" in portal and host ( be sure to use a password, so noone joins and messes it up)

[brittle wind]

• Vector is designed to have no recoil, has the highest recoil among 2042 SMGs
• Sig Spear is designed to be a SCAR replacement, works best in close ranges with short barrel
  Why do game developers keep doing this?

[azure meteor]

The vector makes sense cause of balancing. Idk bout the spear tho.

The only game I’ve seen get the vector right is Insurgency: Sandstorm; a mostly PvE game

[orchid tusk]

why do my miniguns clearly do less damage than my opps in the nightbird?

and really not just the nightbird or even vehicle guns...but its just easier to see in a 1v1 with a nightbird

[brittle wind]

Vector can work with no recoil if they decided to have it like half the RPM it currently has. Slow firing no recoil SMG.

[tender swallow]

[orchid tusk]

so long as it has the same recoil as the next guys. unless you wanna introduce wear mechanics and fixing and the like

different recoil per op could hide some more if yall like that sorta thing.

[azure basalt]

sprread reset in 2042 feels off man

the timing feels weird i wish it feels like 3&4

[orchid tusk]

really?

you and everyone

[azure basalt]

wdyt ?

[orchid tusk]

everybody always says playing 3 or 4 was better in most every way. i didn't play those games when they were the newest so i think they are blinded, because playing them now to me in my little experience, they don't seem so great as f all says

i mean they are still awesome but i think theres a lot of nostalgia blinders being worn

[forest edge]

Why did BF2042 flop?

[young zenith]

No horses

Idk

[azure basalt]

nah for me its not nostalgia

[orchid tusk]

i don't think its quite the flop so many say

[azure basalt]

its a flop.

first impression matters if the game release with so many game breaking bug

[orchid tusk]

yes ea has even acknowledged it didn't perform as hoped but they don't care as much as you think

[azure basalt]

if the don't care they wont all in for the next BF ?

wdym

[orchid tusk]

they were all in for this one they said before

and before

and before

what does all in even mean? they are going to spend all their money on this one edition

lol

[azure basalt]

and now they buuild BF stuudio

[orchid tusk]

i think not

[azure basalt]

battlefield labs

its because 2042 flop

if they really dont care the just going to release the next bf no? no need for BF labs or even making BF studio

[orchid tusk]

they will try anything to see if they can increaser the money. they always try new things

we'll see how their community pre launch testing alpha works out

or whatever it turns out to be

[azure basalt]

if its terrible at least its still on pre-alpha/alpha so people can test it before it releases

this is different from 2042

[orchid tusk]

you are correct in that they did not have a "community" pre launch alpha or testing whatsoever, and theoretically that could be an improvement for the actual public launch

[brittle wind]

Spread reset time was instant in 3&4

[azure basalt]

yeah that's what i feel in 3 and 4

[brittle wind]

Shoot 5 bullets, stop for a milisec you won't lose any accuracy

[azure basalt]

2042 doesnt reset instantly

i can even test it with a bug where the crosshair shows when you ads

you can actuall see the spread

it reset so slow lol

[brittle wind]

2042's spread resets in like a sec

Not like a milisec

[azure basalt]

yeps

which feels off

[brittle wind]

It's better imo

[azure basalt]

you can lose a gun fight with better accuracy guun like LMG

[brittle wind]

Once people figured out how to control spread they could beam people with good trigger finger

[orchid tusk]

and they've adjusted spread and spread reset in 2042 i dont know how many times

[azure basalt]

idk i still can't do perfect trigger fingerr in 2042 it feels so weird

maybe im just used to old 2042 gun spread

just full auuto lmao

pre season 7 changes

[orchid tusk]

responding to the community

And they've adjusted it in response to the community. There are changes in the developers lineup so to speak so maybe that will work out for the critical reception.

i wouldn't hold your breath though. Not too many EA critical winners out of the gate these days. Stock is down lately too, more than the market I think, but maybe not more than the sector., FC didn't live up to earnings expectations last FY. I heard it suggested the marketing budget was lowered and people still haven't gotten used to the new name sans FIFA. And Veilguard "flopped" to I think, although I fired it up for an hour and two and quite enjoyed it, though its not my typical genre thats for sure. Nothing high fantasy is.

[brittle wind]

BF Labs will hopefully fix those issues regarding gunplay and spread and whatever in the next BF

[orchid tusk]

Yeah that would be so cool if everybody was like this is great, or even good upon public launch. Not sure how much more money they could make though out of the gate, with so many playing on gamepass nowadays. More players would mean more battlepass and skin sales though, presumably.

They must do ok with them though to keep pushing them out every few weeks for 2042 for so long now.

[azure basalt]

Yea next BF should fix all the issues before launch.. and the time spend when the game launch is just content,balances and maybe little bit of bug fixes not major like in 2042

[orchid tusk]

Didn't BF4 launch in a bad state?

regardless, hopefully you are right

[plush echo]

People forget 2042 released during Covid, it wasn’t probably the ideal situation for them to work on the game at all while trying to maintain the release window time.

[azure basalt]

Yea

[azure basalt]

Yeah i heard that too

I remember in tom henderson yt channel that 2042 suffer from covid so bad that some task that only takes few minute to be done change to be hours .. 😭

Because of work from home thing

Still excited for next bf though

[brittle wind]

I must resist the urge to equip SVK or XCE but 20 camping snipers in enemy team makes it hard 😭

[orchid tusk]

whats the russian commander lady say? by any means available?

[fickle wharf]

Huh

Use vcar and blow your index fingers joints from the spamming of m1

[topaz wigeon]

yeah VCAR is a good DMR

[spare quest]

vcar is only for good players

[radiant kettle]

SVK>>>>

[azure basalt]

The new loading screen in game UI is cleaaaaan...

[vital quail]

Wish they still had the game tips

No reason to remove

[orchid tusk]

They still do but they added lore stuff too quite a while back so sometimes you get expert tips from top scientists and sometimes lore from the writers.

[chilly jacinth]

They dropped a patch but no notes

[naive ember]

Notes are for noobs

[vital quail]

In the October update they changed it to be mainly gameplay tips

I haven't seen any lore things for a long time tbh

But now it's just a different screen with no tips, for conquest at least

[eager vortex]

When labs open

[glass imp]

The patch notes stated that there will be further changes to the new loading screen design so they might be planning on adding the game tips later

[chilly jacinth]

Those are not the new notes

[vital quail]

8.5.0 is the newest

[chilly jacinth]

They dropped a patch today though

[vital quail]

Yes they released the notes a few days ago

Continuing our small updates to fix issues and add quality of life changes, on Tuesday, February 18th, we’re rolling out Update 8.5.0.

BATTLEFIELD 2042 UPDATE #8.5.0

X · Feb 14, 2025, 3:03 PM

[chilly jacinth]

Oh wait you're right

I forgot about that

I even read the date when they dropped em

[vital quail]

It is kinda sad that they have to put what the objective colors/shapes mean on the loading screen

Not like the people that need to know the most can even read

[chilly jacinth]

[vital quail]

@ every recon ever

[chilly jacinth]

Colors and shapes is supposed to communicate what they mean clearly anyways

[eager vortex]

Don't news date Labs

[chilly jacinth]

so text doesn't exactly help the pepegas

[vital quail]

I would also expect a new event pass soon

They decided to finally fix the purchase bug from the one in October

[ornate pecan]

I wish they would push game updates when events end, not right before. I was hoping to earn those skins, but the servers are empty after the update.

[chilly jacinth]

The constant crashing for alot of pc folk is also a big factor as to why it's dead af

[prisma whale]

Does the map breakaway crash for anyone else ?

[vital quail]

Yes

[ornate pecan]

Oh, that'll do it.

[honest lily]

is there a new update because my battlefield 2042 is updating something 2 gb big

[obsidian tide]

It was supposed to be the big, multi-scaled, everything modern classic BF game to satiate those who disapproved of BF5.

And it was the product in reality of very little development time up-front. And got rid of much of the prop physics and micro-destruction seen in BF1, on top of other instabilities.

[obsidian tide]

On certain maps, there are lore tips or quotes. Mostly only Season maps like Stranded, Spearhead, Reclaimed, Flashpoint, Redacted, and Haven, though Haven's storyline messages were also cut down on.

[next onyx]

NO WAY HAHAHAHA

I don't even hate it.

[naive ember]

[winged zenith]

Anyone now if the update fixed any errors against directx or it's still a problem ? I'm at work and can't test 🤣

[naive ember]

Everything is OK 👍

[pearl halo]

CAME HERE FOR THIS

[naive ember]

It's good bud

[winged zenith]

Did you have the errors before ?

[naive ember]

Yes

[silent perch]

medic gun and ammo crate ftw. pouches dont resupply everything

[winged zenith]

I hope it's fixed for me to then thanks 😄

[west storm]

Gotcha

[fast dirge]

Any chance of battle of nordvik coming back 💔

I need those shop skins so bad

[delicate trout]

Only one not giving a single care on the cosmetics? the game is not even that slow peaced for you to notice any

i swear from my few hours i dont even know if i killed a women or a men a white person or others just out of my view shot and reload

[naive ember]

[delicate trout]

in game?.....

[naive ember]

Hope so for your sake

[delicate trout]

[obsidian tide]

I have successfully managed to replicate the prior crash incident in the current game build version #8.5.0.

Current culprits include:

1. Silvanus Slasher Skin for Casper.
2. The EA Play exclusive Fiend's Maw skin for the L9CZ, and doing anything to get it to re-render in the map, such as attachment equipping.
3. Corrupted driver that I have yet to uninstall and reinstall, of course. That one will be dealt with later. Forgot to do it last night.

[azure basalt]

does anyone have the gpu hang detected error because using borderless or windowed mode ?

[chilly jacinth]

You're the only one on planet earth

Ignoring all the previous comments about it in this channel

[obsidian tide]

What about awful Discord Overlay latency issues in a voice call when playing or streaming the game?

[azure basalt]

the m4 skin loooks cleaaaan tho

daum

[silent perch]

fresh windows install seems to have solved that for me.

[naive magnet]

You reinstalled windows? Or reinstalled BF2042?

I reinstalled BF2042 last night with no luck

[silent perch]

i changed some parts so i did a fresh windows install. so tbh it could have been the cpu/mobo change but i think my windows was just bloated as was a 3 year old install

but before it would boot me from a squad lobby just as the game started alomst every other game

[naive magnet]

Idk if the patch today may have addressed it, I saw someone above claiming it’s been fixed, I’ll have to check tonight

[silent perch]

ive just setup my m8 with the old cpu/mobo (12700kf/z690) and he is not having issues so i woul go with the windows install being old/corrupt

[silent perch]

fingers crossed

[rugged badge]

Did they add an eent today?

[obsidian tide]

Return of the Liquidators bundles and an associated event to discount it.

[rugged badge]

yea

[brittle wind]

I hate it, BF6 will be a clown show just like CoD, mark my words

[rugged badge]

I mean atleast all skins on 2042 has some sort of tactical gear

Unlike COD where you run just with whatever the hell is made

[brittle wind]

2042 is testbed for BF6 since 7.0

BF6 skins will be even more ridiculous

They changed loading screens 3 years after the game is released lol

[rugged badge]

As long as its not COD level of ridiclous, i will be fine

[obsidian tide]

Loading tips and world bits removed (for now). Replaced with big banner messages about the game type.

[zealous loom]

This, and $30

[rugged badge]

yea

make the prices reasonable and atleast try to keep somewhat of a miliatary feel to the skins

[barren thorn]

Have you ever played against CwF name tag players? Those people are always onthe top of the enemy team

[rugged badge]

And people will buy thm

[stuck tundra]

yep theya re actuallyu really cool guys

[barren thorn]

They are really cool or they are cheating?😆

How they manage to not die in 25 min game

[stuck tundra]

nah they just play OP operators and weapons 🙂

with a squad of 4 in BF game u can do great things

trust

[barren thorn]

Wow well done to em

[zealous loom]

Yup, Hunt Showdown skins are usually around $5-10 at most and I own like 15 of them, will not buy a skin when I could literally use that money to buy an indie game

[rugged badge]

I also noticed that in this game my aim sucks ASS

I play fineon Siege but on Battlefield im just trash

any reccomandations on how to kind of improve

[brittle wind]

New free M5A3 skin looks pretty cool

[rugged badge]

would you kill me if i said i like 80% of the skins in 2042?

[barren thorn]

How much money you have spent overally? 😆

[brittle wind]

80% of them are cool, there are dumb stuff like Crawford's hitman outfit, Mackay's rambo outfit etc.

[stuck tundra]

nah nah because I agree

[rugged badge]

none actually

[barren thorn]

Wow cool

[rugged badge]

I just stare to the store, like a kid planting his face on the window of a toy store

[rugged badge]

oh yea i agree that there are dumb stuff

but majority wise the skins are cool af and kind of fits the game

[naive ember]

S6 skins is bad ngl 👎

[obsidian tide]

Simple answer: Instead of having Bundles cost Thousands of BFC, have them be hundreds, and the items tens of BFC.

[chilly jacinth]

EA ain't gonna sell anything for literal pennies

[obsidian tide]

I never said to change the current Money to BFC currency prices. Only the Bundle and skin item BFC prices.

Those can remain at what they are, but the frequency of purchasing more BFC can go down.

[sour meadow]

i don't think anything in the world is literally worth a penny/pennies

except steam market items

but you can only put at least $5 into your account

[obsidian tide]

And the bare minimum for BFC purchases is either $5 USD, or $4.50 USD with an EA Play subscription.

[naive ember]

Pennies

[winged zenith]

could play 3 matches now its the same directx errors again 😦

[acoustic seal]

please be patient, 2042 is still in beta

they're still trying to decide what the loading screens should look like

[winged zenith]

xD

[chilly jacinth]

They totally aren't using it as a test bed for the next game

[pearl halo]

Definitely not

[pearl halo]

Me too

Cant open or anything

Magically fixed itself

Then broke again

It’s a game issue

[winged zenith]

yeah lol

[acoustic seal]

i mean they're not, the same was said for all the bf1 and bf5 late patch stuff and that was never seen again

[chilly jacinth]

Nice opinion i guess

[pearl halo]

Is anyone having luck with playing today or anh

Nah

[acoustic seal]

recent history is really good for determining the immediate future

patterns and trends and whatnot

[chilly jacinth]

They haven't fixed it

[pearl halo]

Also I talked to EA support yesterday and they can assure me they are working on it and not to worry

😂

[pearl halo]

Fun

That was the dumbest conversation

[winged zenith]

hope so

[rugged badge]

I l9ove that the moment one team captures every point in the event mode it becomes Normandy Beach where you try to leave spawn

[pearl halo]

😂

[rugged badge]

we have been stuck on a worthless push for 10 minutes

trying to get out of the spawn

[pearl halo]

😂 machine gun or sniper would be my move

[rugged badge]

good luck when there are 10 snipers and lines of machine gun users watching every exit of your spawn

[chilly jacinth]

One billion smokes will surely solve your issue

[rugged badge]

they just shoot through and kill stil

ah nevermind

we lost the game, and it was fun

[pearl halo]

😂 play recon use your sensor and machine gun and shoot them through the smokes

And your thermal map thing

Rush redacted is one of my favorites

Sit with a machine gun, shoot through smokes

I got 396 assists with spots and dmg

And smokes

In one game

[naive ember]

That's it?

[gloomy berry]

Would anyone be down for Afgan sim in a few?

[naive ember]

💤

[mellow tapir]

Did the update remove the ability to adjust loadout equipmet during game play without using Start? (PS)

[solid chasm]

is there recommended colour(s) to use for hitmarkers, kills, allies, foes etc.

[brittle wind]

I use purple crosshair

Some people may prefer some of the color blindness options for teams and enemies but I prefer default

[sturdy wasp]

Any solution for mouse click lags?

[vestal coyote]

what does the new loading screen look like? havent seen it yet, might hop on game soon

[placid echo]

https://fixvx.com/BattlefieldComm/status/1891791406609363017?t=AAVigoqzk78zZqv7TI2MUA&s=19

It's basically Battlefield 4's

[quartz ferry]

Does anyone know why EA anti cheat won't let me open battlefield?

[vocal tusk]

An app you're using is blocked, or not white listed. Or if it is white listed, you're using an old version.

[brittle wind]

Now that I unlocked it legendary M5 skin is meh

[next onyx]

It ain't true worst thing LOL

[elfin void]

its just a white gun what did you expect

[next onyx]

I could be biased because I went through a shitty day and then I absolutely drop dead laughed seeing that.

[elfin void]

You'll hate it when you have a good day, MMW

[rugged badge]

Its still a free skin. Activision would have made you pay 20$ to unlock an event pass to earn it

[brittle wind]

Bruh, why do they keep giving unique looks to high power mags, high power is useless in M5 😂

[hasty jolt]

its the suit as well

[next onyx]

I wanna use the m5 again in ages.

[elfin void]

I was talking about the skin we get for getting 80 ribbons

But yeah the suit is dumb also

[hasty jolt]

i dont mind paint jobs on guns

[brittle wind]

Most legendary gun skins has unique optics which is kind of a P2W too, blue chrome SFAR for example has a great red dot which is better than regular red dot, holo this skin has is P2L because it's even bigger than regular holo, this legendary M5 is just meh compared to others

[vital quail]

The gew has a skin that changes the red dot to be more square and the edges to be really thin but I wouldn't consider it to be any beneficial

[brittle wind]

It's better visual clarity

Next BF should have a training range that allows you to test skins before you buy them imo

[next onyx]

I do agree in the case of the scar its pacifier skin really does make a difference but it doesn't really change the gun in a massive direction.

[brittle wind]

Well yeah, I wish we had thinner red dots

Without needing to buy skins

[vital quail]

On the gew I would rather have the normal one tbh

I don't think i have any other legendary skin that changes a red dot though

[hasty jolt]

a test range at all, never mind for skins

the bf4 one was perfect

how did they iterate so well on the series then just forget all the good stuff when it came to 2042

[next onyx]

Game was rushed.

So they couldn't do what they wanted.

[hasty jolt]

it didnt even have a scoreboard

[rugged badge]

because the original 2042 was Hazard Zone, the game didnt need a scoreboard if it was gonna be a extraction shooter

[brittle wind]

I would like to have an in menu shooting range for weapons too

Similar to DF or COD

[rugged badge]

they thought Portal was enough to satisfy the core Battlefield community, which it wasnt

[brittle wind]

It maybe could if we had 4 maps per game and not 2

We never received any additional maps for portal games too

Metro would've been amazing

[rugged badge]

yea, i think Portal was an afterthought to the devs

Also lets not forget that Covid impacted the game for about nearly 2 years(?)

[vocal tusk]

Portal was made by an entirely different studio, so it wasn't an afterthought. It was just largely abandoned content wise at launch.

[hasty jolt]

yeah the cod range is nice but the bf4 had all the vehicles and pick up kits too

[hasty jolt]

you really think the entire game was supposed to be an extraction shooter?

[rugged badge]

that was the main plan

[vocal tusk]

It was, that's why launch maps were the way they were.

[rugged badge]

The majority of the focus was supposed to be Hazard Zone

[hasty jolt]

do you have a source for that

[rugged badge]

hold on a second

[hasty jolt]

it sounds plausable

[vocal tusk]

There is no official statement on this. But looking at how the game was at launch, it's a pretty good theory.

[hasty jolt]

why on earth would they release a mainline bf title, as an extraction shooter

did they not trust a spinoff bc Hardline flopped

Hardline could have been goated

[vocal tusk]

Hardline would never have been goated.

[hushed lark]

yeah that's the problem I have. like it would explain most of the problems but it is also just so stupid

[hasty jolt]

bad price tag but Hardlines movement and gunplay were refined over BF4s

i think it was mechanically better than 4

it felt nicer to play

just over priced

[burnt marsh]

Just too bad it wasn’t that popular on MP. Story was great

[vocal tusk]

Worse weapon balance. Released at a time when BF4 was as popular as ever. Had a theme that wasn't popular or wanted.

[hasty jolt]

i really enjoyed the beta, i just couldnt justify the €60 at the time after paying for bf4 + premium

[burnt marsh]

Hardline should have been a DLC

[vocal tusk]

They should have released those maps as BF4 dlc or something 😅

[rugged badge]

Obviously there is no official statement like BSoD said, the things i will list does suggest that an Extraction Shooter/BR was their main idea
Huge maps (too big for normal BF gameplay, even for 128 players), Armor plates, Cannot switch/create squads, Silly long timing when you're downed with no visibility for medics, because initially it should be only your BR squad that can revive you, The + system for weapons, instead of ground loot attachments, No server browser, because you don't need one in BR/Extraction Shooter, Lack of game modes, Specialists who has their own abilities instead of classes etc

[next onyx]

Hardline was unironically good which is a shame.

[hasty jolt]

it came out 2 years after payday 2, i think it would have been quite popular

payday 2 was super popular back then

it still is but it was at its height

it was just priced wrong

should have been free for bf4 premium and $30-$40 outside of that

[vocal tusk]

Payday 2 was a lot of fun, yeah. Hardline was a cool idea, but just not something players wanted at the time.

I enjoyed it for a while. But with it being so similar to BF4, in a style/setting I didn't care much for...when I wanted my "Battlefield fix", I just played BF4.

[rugged badge]

I personally preferred Hardline over BF4

[rain violet]

As someone who enjoyed the beta but hated the release, yeah Hardline had significant problems. The spawns especially were atrocious on multiple maps and game modes where you'd just spawn in open areas contested with your back facing the enemies lol.

Also shit like the RPG in trunk perk made Hotwire incredibly bland, which was one of their selling points.

[modern cargo]

hello everyone ! i just bought the game some days ago ! and couldn't even launch it ! showing DX12 Errors ! did anyone face it !

[obsidian tide]

Implying .308 or other rechambering or something?

[pastel delta]

Umm planning to buy this game. What should I do as a beginner, and what are the best things to do in this game?

[obsidian tide]

What does the text for it specifically say?

[modern cargo]

directX function ''GetDeviceRemovedReason'' Failed with DXGI_ERROR_Device_Hung (the gpu will not respon to more commands..) i have an RTX 4060laptop i7 13thgen 13620H

everything is up to date on my system (windows/graphics/bios...) i even did a fresh graphic pilot install..

and saw many people have the same issue ! some of them are lately facing it

[obsidian tide]

Are you able to check if rolling back to NVIDIA Driver version 572.16 offers anything of note?

[modern cargo]

i was on that version btw ! and i update when it happened ! it didn't work so i had to do a fresh pilot install

[tame frost]

2042 on ps5 is freaking awesome the controller and sound effect it you got headphones in fills real almost taste the bullet

[obsidian tide]

One user reported that rolling back may have offered something, but seems not in your case.

[modern cargo]

did he have the same issue as mine !

[obsidian tide]

Similar, at least.

[silent perch]

can anyone advise how to lower system latency with amd cpu's? seem to be seeing worse performance from the 9800x3d than a 12700kf which seems wrong? have set all graphics to low tried dx11/12 plus windows performance etc but its like im a few instances behind the enemy at every encounter

[tame frost]

Game looks better then cod

[modern cargo]

https://forums.ea.com/discussions/battlefield-2042-technical-issues-en/battlefield-2042-directx-error/11897310 a lot of people having this issue as i see !

[obsidian tide]

Not certain. Seems a little abnormal, though.

[silent perch]

yeh very odd. movement feels crisp but encounters are very lop sided

[obsidian tide]

What does the Tab scoreboard say is the server latency when you encounter these events?

Possible idea: For those affected, how many of you use BitDefender or similar antivirus software which can actively block programs from accessing protected memory in ways it deems to be malicious?

[vestal coyote]

I don't use BitDefender unless you mean BitLocker (which encrypts your drive) and I use Malwarebytes when it comes to detecting viruses and malware

[hearty storm]

Hey , team vrt search other team for make a 4v4 or 5v5 flashpoint/obliteration , dm me for see this ^^

[obsidian tide]

...Never mind; that would not make sense. BitDefender would show a notification and close the program if that kind of block ever happened. Apologies.

[pearl halo]

Wait until it’s on sale or until pc players can actually play again if ur on pc

[pearl halo]

That’s what I’m dealing with

[dapper river]

step 0: wait for sale

[pearl halo]

My amd graphics card is running bf1 constantly or that’s what it’s saying and I don’t even have that game installed???

And I’ve made sure it’s uninstalled 100% months ago

[mighty crater]

i bought it a week ago with sale price of 7pounds, best 7pounds ever spent

[vestal coyote]

im kind of anonyed i cant play Battlefield Portal 😭

[obsidian tide]

When you are in a AAA Game Broke competition and your opponents are Call of Duty Black Ops 6 Warzone and Battlefield 2042.

[pearl halo]

lol the Reddit too

[vestal coyote]

It can't be an Nvidia issue now cus AMD users are reporting issues

[pearl halo]

I have both

[vestal coyote]

cant be a Windows 11 issue cus we have multiple versions of Windows reporting issues

[pearl halo]

NVIDIA and amd radon

Agreed

[vestal coyote]

so its defo a 2042 issue now

[pearl halo]

10-12 I think

Fr

[vestal coyote]

BF4 runs amazingly well still no issues

[pearl halo]

Bro someone just took my bloodhound 😒

My bf2042 started working randomly yesterday

I did absolutely nothing just wanted to open it for the heck of it

[obsidian tide]

Precompiled shaders versus DirectX 12 Just In Time compiled Shader pipeline be like.

[pearl halo]

And it worked and I was so shocked

[vestal coyote]

I wonder if its an EA Anti-Cheat issue but its probably not that either if BF1 and BF5 are working so it has to just be 2042

[pearl halo]

And then next time I opened it it was nope

And all my other games work

[vestal coyote]

We long for the days of pre-compiled shaders again 😭

[obsidian tide]

Botnet detected.

[vestal coyote]

I swear JIT has been known to be problematic in games before

[obsidian tide]

Too bad. Lower API overhead or some other benefits. Dunno.

[vestal coyote]

I think CoD does Shader Pre-Caching during the beginning of an install / update and you dont have to deal with JIT

[brisk kite]

Isn't JIT problematic in most things just on its own?

[smoky furnace]

Hello i m pajtula

[obsidian tide]

It does the JIT compile up-front to have a shader cache. 2042 does its compiling before mapload, checking and updating its shader cache(s) as needed.

[vestal coyote]

with CoD it usually functions extremely smooth after its pre-caching which is why i brought it up

[obsidian tide]

JS, WASM, and Android apps can do it.

[brisk kite]

I feel like I'm having a stroke trying to use some apps on my phone

[modern cargo]

please if the issue is fixed let us know so i download it again !! cuz i got angry and i uninstall it !

[dapper river]

Don't tell Unreal Engine 5 devs about this

[modern cargo]

i both the game ! couple of days ago and didn't even launch it

[vestal coyote]

from the error message i have on my event viewer, it seems like it complains that the driver is misused by the game or something

or like it did something incorrectly

[brisk kite]

That poor driver

[obsidian tide]

UE4 and UE5 devs already do it. They have DirectX 11 and DirectX 12 pipelines to set up and customize as they wish to for games, but especially DirectX 12 in UE5.

[hollow lodge]

guys whats inside that link? 👆

[modern cargo]

the point is that we can do nothing to it xD

[obsidian tide]

Phishing.

[hollow lodge]

oh, i expected that

[vestal coyote]

I wonder when EA is going to acknowledge the issue

since its starting to become widespread

[hollow lodge]

he wanted to seem legit with steam work hehe boi

[hollow lodge]

what issue 😊

[vestal coyote]

DirectX crash and BSoD

[hollow lodge]

bf 2042?

[vestal coyote]

yep

[hollow lodge]

i didn't update yet

[vestal coyote]

I dont get the DirectX crashes but a lot of people do, I am getting BSoDs and some who get those crashes are too

[hollow lodge]

damn i hate bsod it cause and damage the pc

[hollow lodge]

i see..

then ppl need to start reporting it

on reddit and the forum

[vestal coyote]

A BSoD is technically a safety measure actually

Shuts it off just in time (no pun intended)

but it can point to a wider issue whether software or hardware depending on the case

[next onyx]

There's a user named bsod here and I got really confused.

[silent perch]

I get around 20-28ms and TN is 8-20

[vocal tusk]

Ye are welcome.

As I said before, they are welcome.

[hollow lodge]

thank you for the info and clearing it

[brisk kite]

I once had a BSoD that seemed like the computer had a stroke in the middle of it, half the frowny face was missing, most of the text that's normally there was just random glyphs, kinda scared me but never had any issues with the computer after that

[pearl halo]

Oh it’s all over the Reddit and forum and discord and people have contacted NVIDIA and ea no one can help

It’s a game thing not a pc or user error thing

[vestal coyote]

BSoDs are designed to stop the computer from receiving any more harm

If something goes wrong, it throws a BSoD and stops any actions happening resulting in a reboot

[brisk kite]

Yes, but I'm saying there was also something wrong with my BSoD, I think it was when I had a Windows update corrupt mid install

[pearl halo]

@astral oriole

[vestal coyote]

I think TotalFPS is the person to mention but im not sure

[hollow lodge]

https://tenor.com/view/forehead-slap-slapping-forehead-oh-my-god-gif-13308042

[vital quail]

Bruh

[brisk kite]

Then the system tried to reinstall the update and for some reason corrupted a second time and then it saved the previous corrupted update as the rollback, just stuck in a endless boot loop

[hollow lodge]

if i faced any crashes after the new update i will stop playing the game obviously lol

[vestal coyote]

new loading screen looks better btw

[pastel delta]

I mean the bf2042 competition

Delta force

Is free

I'll try that out it's similar, see if I like this style of games

[obsidian tide]

Now all it needs is reintroducing the Tips and Lore rolling text element in the bottom-center. You know the one.

[vestal coyote]

bro Delta Force scared me, i installed that game and it said "PC is Overheating" like what lmao

[hollow lodge]

thats a good action to take in situations like this

[vestal coyote]

Yup haha

also am I the only one who has only played one specialist/class in 2042? cus like i just playing assualt lmao

i need to probably try the other classes

[hollow lodge]

i dont love 2042 that much but delta force is a rip off from bf 2042, in alot of mechanics. imo

[vestal coyote]

i mean of all BF games to rip off, 2042? lol

Delta Force got it all wrong imo

[hollow lodge]

i also didn't play delta force, just saw videos

[hollow lodge]

i agree

[pearl halo]

Ok no harm in mentioning both @viscid bone

[next onyx]

I would NOT advise pinging staff unless they're active.

[vital quail]

Read the #rules bud

[next onyx]

It's literally in the rules.

Dammit scott

Why are you fast

[pearl halo]

Oh sorry

Mb

I joined yesterday

[vital quail]

Rules should be fresh in your mind then 🙂

[pearl halo]

😂 bro I’ve been studying for a stats exam all day

And I have two next week and 17 credits

[ruby echo]

hi m8 did u find some results with that dx shit problem?

i have same sht

[pearl halo]

However I do apologize I didn’t know

I just wanted to bring attention to it 😂

[ruby echo]

did u try some reinstall drivers or windows?

[pearl halo]

Oh yea

I’m so sorry total

I didn’t know 😂

[viscid bone]

It's a bit late in the day for me, but if you write something up or fire through a link I will look into it and get it through to the team. What helps is understanding if its a platform, specific mode/map, any timestamp of it actually occurring etc. 🙂

Will check back tomorrow and escalate if necessary.

[pearl halo]

It wont happen again

[viscid bone]

T'is fine

[pearl halo]

Thanks bro

I have some crash record files if you want them

I have at least 5 from the past week

[viscid bone]

I'll open my DMs for you to fire through.

[pearl halo]

Okay cool

[viscid bone]

Back to Avowed now though

[pearl halo]

Okay bye

[ruby echo]

check my DM

[pearl halo]

Ok

Yea if there are any solutions that are a for sure fix for this I’ll put it here

But there aren’t any yet sadly

[next onyx]

Oh shit we lost him

He's back into avowed

[pearl halo]

I sent him all the crash dumps in the case it helps and pictures of the direct x errors

Hopefully this gets fixed soon

[robust ether]

I really like the new 2042 loading screen layout they updated today, I'm kinda gonna miss the lore bits at the bottom though

[viscid bone]

We'll be changing this, it's disabled for a reason - new version on its way 🙂

[robust ether]

Oh rad! Thanks

[glass imp]

In the meantime, the lore bits were sourced from the Codex but were rephrased a little. I definitely recommend checking out the Codex!

[tropic berry]

Gotta re-introduce the lore bits 😄

[vital quail]

#battlefield-2042 message

This website has codex stuff as well

[tropic berry]

@glass imp 👀

[vital quail]

So you don't have to be in-game to learn it

[glass imp]

oh 👀

[viscid bone]

I like that site, cool people made that

[knotty tundra]

lol

[main vale]

Are you John battlefield?

[azure zenith]

How 2042?

[obsidian tide]

Possible curiosity: February 11th, 2025 was when a security update for Windows 10 was pushed. Users reported issues in the game starting at least two days later.

Would something changed or introduced as a new issue in it conflict with Battlefield 2042?

If it was an OS-level update issue, it could explain the scale of breakage across systems.

[native venture]

Hello

[pearl halo]

Yup it started for me around 12th

Or 13th

Before the NVIDIA drivers update

[obsidian tide]

The update's release notes, with stated issues included. Note that this is a Microsoft link page.
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/february-11-2025-kb5051974-os-builds-19044-5487-and-19045-5487-687841b4-97c9-493a-8cb8-ba3b8c077c7e

[versed wren]

Anyone have thoughts on the new controls for the class customization screen? Not my favorite personally

[quaint topaz]

I can’t scroll to change my guns

Oh nvm

[bleak kelp]

Anybody plays 128 conquest?

[brittle wind]

https://x.com/BFBulletin/status/1890420660721074389

2042 will never die

I like how they keep 2042 alive btw, BFV was dead right after pacific, long before they announced 2042 but 2042 still gets some sort of content even after the announcement of next BF

I hope this becomes a tradition with live service BF games

[next onyx]

Not "right after the pacific" we still got the 6.2 update which gaves up American soldiers on european maps and an expanded arsenal.

[vital quail]

Hope they add more than 1 portal weapon to whatever event is next

[brittle wind]

I want T1 skins for portal guns, I hope they add G3 though

[torpid pilot]

The liquidators event is sweet

Just did a great round on caspian border

[next onyx]

G36 is pretty nice.

Had some weird players run into my claymores. Always a funny when it happens.

[obsidian tide]

Progress Update: Unable to reinstall new GPU driver at this time due to missing assets. Unsure if DDU purging will truly help here.

Successfully got into a match after re-enabling Windows Recovery Environment, but crashed it upon dying.

[tropic cliff]

What are these new loading screens?

[torpid pilot]

The retro

[brittle wind]

@tropic cliff

[brittle wind]

G36 is unnecessary when 2042 has GEW imo

I would rather have G3 or SPAS

Or AUG
They will most likely introduce Thompson or MP40 though lol

[tropic cliff]

they even did it for hazard zone?

[next onyx]

Wait I'm not commenting about the portal part.

The gew 46 is literally the g36 and there's no way around it

[copper cedar]

Hi Bear

[lucid sleet]

[brittle wind]

Oh my bad, yeah GEW is pretty good, only downside is 30 round mags. Otherwise it's a jack of all trades, master of all kinds of weapon.

[dapper river]

It kind of sucked ass when it first came out lol. But it looks like it's retroactively improved from all the QoL stuff the game received over the years. And the best part? Persistent servers

[azure basalt]

pog!

[naive magnet]

Logical theory, I’ve been trying to unbreak it too - I’ve already reported the issue, the tech support agent I spoke with mentioned that it’s cross-games problems; including sims and CFB24 or whatever the football one is

That’s about when I started experiencing issues, potentially intermittently beforehand

Usually a boot from a random lobby, then I got a couple errors and have been unable to boot since - it seems users have the same issue across multiple games; only EA games seem to be affected

[frozen loom]

Did DICE update the loading screen for matches?

[azure basalt]

yes

[frozen loom]

I guess it's more user-friendly.

[brittle wind]

2042 is the testbed of BF6

[azure basalt]

i do feel like it

the new hardcore event is also a test for the next BF i think

[naive magnet]

I guess me being unable to play for the last week is also par for the course for BF6

[brittle wind]

It felt like that, it had faction specific uniforms and class locked weapons, no tac sprinting either

[azure basalt]

yeah, but the remove sliding which feel off hope we get sliding next BF

[brittle wind]

I hope we will get an even better sliding than 2042

[azure basalt]

the sliding in 2042 is fine but the way it transition to jump or jump to slide its to fast

[brittle wind]

It would be as useless as BF1 slide if not for chaining jumps

Regular slide has no speed or range

[round fulcrum]

i cant even escape automatic fire from 200 meters away from a submachine gun

[brittle wind]

Chain jumps

There is a simple youtube tutorial on there

[round fulcrum]

ill check it

all the past bfs have taught me to prone immediately if i cant see where im getting shot at but in 2042 i might aswell accept my demise

[brittle wind]

In 2042 you just bunnyhop your way to safety

[azure basalt]

true

2042 really change how the movement in this franchise

i really excited what BF 6 will bring

getting used to chain hopping and slide jump crouch is going to be a bad habit in the next game lol

[brittle wind]

Ever since BF1 they tried to have more movement in BF

They nerfed BF1's slide after people complained but BFV's slide was fine, 2042 played vastly different than V though

2042 is very jump heavy

[azure basalt]

yeah, i prefer the BFV slide than jumpy gameplay

bring back "can't shot" while jumping

[brittle wind]

I like jumpshots but I don't care about bhopping

[azure basalt]

or just make the weapon shake when jumping like in BFV so you can't see while ADS like BFV did

[brittle wind]

I dislike visual recoil honestly

In BFV you could jumpshot even with shaking, it was just visual recoil

[azure basalt]

yeah like that

just for jumping but not shooting

maybe its fine aslong the reticle still in the screen center

not shaking

just aa liiitle bit.

[brittle wind]

Reticle wasn't in the center of the screen on BFV for some reason

[azure basalt]

the gun shake idc make it punchy but make the reticle stay in the center

[azure basalt]

yeah i feel that too

[brittle wind]

It was a bit higher than where it's supposed to be

[azure basalt]

yea its still okay.. BF1 tho

its bad that i need a crosshair monitor... lol (at least the bullet still in the center of the screen)

[next onyx]

It's really weird wwhen people reach for the technicality that the crosshairs on the monitors are cheating when they're most annoying, intrusive pieces of software that ultimately are good for testing.

[heady lark]

As an Arena Breakout player, I could see it being cheating, as theres no crosshair in game

But yeah not really a concern of mine

[rain violet]

When the real question they should be asking is "WHY are our players utilizing them" instead.

Gee, maybe don't decouple aim from the screen centre or make misleading optics or crosshairs.

[radiant kettle]

yup true

especially when it comes to ads

2 crosshairs layered on each other

its just bf players that moan about anything ig

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[next onyx]

It's funny too when crossplay was annoucned a bunch of people on PC were really concerned about Cronus.

When... It's quite useless.

[rain violet]

I fear Cronus far less than developer sanctioned aimbot

[radiant kettle]

ive seen people complaining about controller aim assist in this game

[rain violet]

Only thing you see from Cronus players on BF are the DMR spammers

[radiant kettle]

what else to expect

[next onyx]

Ironically with PC on the block they're useless.

[radiant kettle]

its useless against strong mnk players

[next onyx]

Well I should reword that.

They're not quite special anymore.

[radiant kettle]

even just above average mnk players

[next onyx]

Not gonna lie though I forgot how bad things get in this game. Running the masterkey with armour and zain.

Honestly dude wtf

[radiant kettle]

zain and armor plate build is based

who else to use in this garbage game

after some mackay nerfs

[rain violet]

Mackay, if I'm not zooming I'm not having fun.

[radiant kettle]

and lack of vertical gameplay overall

[next onyx]

Can play as Blasco for fun inflitrator.

[radiant kettle]

falck? she has no armor plate and gadgets that give you some free kills

[next onyx]

Unlimited healing.

[radiant kettle]

also zain heals himself instantly after getting a kill

[next onyx]

As in 0 to 100 on the go really easily.

[radiant kettle]

thats not even comparison

and 3 bursts destroy any camper

[rain violet]

Plate just makes engagements too easy, people are bad enough at fighting.

But Zain is cheese personified up there with Paik.

[radiant kettle]

besides dozer users that need 5 but they are kinda rare

usually people just realize they are getting shot with xm 370 when they're dead already

ez

[next onyx]

The zain part isn't even bad it's fucking armour that's cringe.

[radiant kettle]

based vs shotgun users

[rain violet]

Nah, airburst with infinite ammo is def cringe

[radiant kettle]

why do i have to suffer from some 10m buckshot #4 oneshots on locker in this game

if i can just pick armor plate

or even bigger distance if someone is using buckshot #1

but it requires a little more skill aswell

[rain violet]

10m? Man try 20m lol

That MCS range is stupid

[radiant kettle]

might work

just some random deaths

i remember people moaning about shotguns in cod

but mcs solos most of them

easily

[rain violet]

And that's the "nerfed" shotgun

[radiant kettle]

same with 12m auto

but its not as op

still could be kinda annoying

as doesnt require any skil

so ill stay with my armor thing

[next onyx]

For me personally armour makes things many times worse.

People like assault and shady are fun to fight because they're amazing players but the fights always feel fair against them.

[radiant kettle]

this game was never fair

as most of fps games

actually sph users are miles worse than armor plate guys

same with c5 users in certain cases

[next onyx]

I feel bad for using claymores at times but it feels kinda good I'm using something that needs conscious thought.

[radiant kettle]

bruh claymores

[next onyx]

Yeah they're fucked.

[radiant kettle]

sometimes not dying to them due to armor plate tho

feelsgoodman

[plush echo]

You’re a Zain main ?

[radiant kettle]

zain/mackay main

[plush echo]

Ah

[radiant kettle]

but if we take last few months

then its probably zain

70/30

the most overpowered specialist as for me

althought its not that popular

but i prefer to think its cuz of some old guide vids

where most "sweaty youtubers" spammed mackay/falck

Falck with unlimited supplies is pretty compelling.

I don't like running falck because I find her too easy.

Zain with perseverance is a positive thing for the loop.

[plush echo]

Bro I can’t count how many times playing conquest almost no one plays recon when you need spawning

[rocky gust]

perseverance is a trait that shouldn't exist lmao

[next onyx]

Xm370 is ultimately stupid and shouldnt be as powerful as it is, Even after a nerf.

[radiant kettle]

its weak i would make it 1 shot

[next onyx]

Killing someone and having your healing delay cut out entirely means oh yeah I could probably risk it and top it off.

[rocky gust]

the whole specialist trait passive, nah the entire specialist system is just dogshit

[next onyx]

I don't like how the specialist system has been balanced but giving alternate ways to play the game is genuinely good.

[rocky gust]

maybe it coulda worked if this game was a small arena hero shooter

[radiant kettle]

its barely possible to balance them

[rocky gust]

and look at what the alternate ways did to the game

zero balance. even after multiple nerfs people choose mackay

zain existing is a crime

falck idk if she got any nerfs but i feel that her healing rate should have been at least halved

[radiant kettle]

not peoples fault

[next onyx]

It's not "impossible" - Just don't make elements like killing people in a single shield bash. That isn't really good balance.

I got mixed up with two sentences

[radiant kettle]

dozer is useless rn

so slow

[next onyx]

If the Xm was a 4HK I would be up for that.

Or a lower ROF.

[rocky gust]

it all really comes down to the incompetence of devs and lack of understanding

[radiant kettle]

nerfed into the ground

[next onyx]

That's not a nerfed to the ground moment.

It's still super powerful at flushing people out.

[radiant kettle]

and picked mostly by some 0.5 kd bots

[next onyx]

It shouldn't even kill people in 3 hits.

[radiant kettle]

which are easy to fool

just run back and bunnyhop him from other side

he has no chance

[vague jetty]

yea i play bf 2049

bladefield 2029

[next onyx]

There's definitely an argument to be made with how the classes play, With how Recon's gadgets could be condensed (And remove the wallhacky stuff)

guys

[next onyx]

Engie I think by far is the worst offender.

Well there's assault but still.

TV missiles, Sentries and a useless turret.

[rocky gust]

Theres no reason to choose other engineer but lis

[next onyx]

I run crawford because well, Default pick for RPG.

[radiant kettle]

sometimes craw might be useful

[plush echo]

Do people really use SVK ?

[radiant kettle]

sometimes

[radiant kettle]

best dmr lol

[rocky gust]

Svk is like the most broken dmr

[plush echo]

I find it a bit uncomfortable to use idk why

[upbeat sand]

i think with battlefield studios collective they also trademarked the word "battlefield" now
cause i checked the site and now its Battlefield tm portal

[radiant kettle]

2 shots up to 100 meters

even if person is using armor

[next onyx]

The VSS is pretty busted.

Easy 3HK and tonnes of leniency.

[radiant kettle]

with good recoil pattern

[plush echo]

What’s your build with it

[rocky gust]

Lmao release bsvm was ridic

And the g428

[radiant kettle]

lemme check

[next onyx]

G428 was so annoying.

It's a good babies first DMR.

And the m417 is genuinely cool.

[radiant kettle]

sights: k8, TV 2.5x(barely)

bar: nothing

mag: standart extended

[rocky gust]

Idk how people use that non-dot red dots

[radiant kettle]

and bcg i think

[rocky gust]

I hate those

[plush echo]

Alr

[rocky gust]

If youre confident with aim you can go cqb with svk and still do work

[radiant kettle]

just spam it

2 of the shots will land

once

or use g57/deagle

[next onyx]

Barrels are literally broken on the SVK and don't reduce its velocity.

[rocky gust]

The random damaged enemy headshot one taps are nice too

[radiant kettle]

ye

96 damage

sadly not 100

xd

[rocky gust]

Theres some bozo named fightinjustice that accused me of cheating for one tapping him multiple times

[radiant kettle]

taps from deagle/m44 are still way more enjoyable and satisfying

[rocky gust]

Tbf he accuses anyone of cheating if they kill him

Him and his little goons

Squad wiping wanna be sweats is satisfying

[radiant kettle]

there are a lot of them

i dont like when they stack tho

even if all of them have like 1-2 kpm

not enjoyable with bf spotting system aswell

just kill one of them and you're tracked in real time for the rest of your life

best game scenario is when there are 2 actually good players, 1 on each side

not those wannabees with paik or w/e they run

[rocky gust]

Paik but with pocket medics

Just blowing them everywhere they go

[radiant kettle]

i had enjoyable game recently

me and another dude on other team on locker

both got 180 kills

was almost draw

were mostly dying to each other

[next onyx]

Not gonna lie

My favourite thing to do when I'm being scanned by a paik is plant a claymore on the off ping, Look clueless so they rush me and blow themselves up.

[radiant kettle]

im usually going back or just running and jumping around

since its not real time wallhack

[next onyx]

I honestly just want to fuck with players more than just tryhard.

[radiant kettle]

tryharding in bf

mhm

not needed if we consider amount of NPC players in each lobby

just gotta have 2 hands and you're already in top 5 in any round

the newer bf title is, the more npcs it has

remember that

[brittle wind]

Falck is good but her healing is too slow compared to assault medpen

[radiant kettle]

gotta wait for bf7 for that

[radiant kettle]

unlimited tho

so could be used for some minor heals

when you lost like 10-20 hp

while you only have 2 medpens if you run nearby ammo/med crates

and i dont think you're gonna spend them that way

atleast not the best way to do it

[vital quail]

Um did you watch the vid before posting

[next onyx]

OH wait

you on phone right

I forgot the default file type for Davinci resolve is .mov which is broken on phone discord.

@vital quail Should be better now.

[vital quail]

Yes

[radiant kettle]

low ping abuser

[next onyx]

I wasn't expecting a claymore double.

I'm close to Sydney LOL

[radiant kettle]

34 ms?

or tahts not ping

LAT:

[next onyx]

Eh that's still known as ping.

[radiant kettle]

overall latency or just network latency

thats still some ping abuse

if its below 30-40 and more than 100

[next onyx]

How much ping/latency do you get.

[radiant kettle]

just kidding tho, has nothing to do with you

[radiant kettle]

60

[next onyx]

Yeah I got really confused like what huh

[radiant kettle]

but not checked with that overlay

just through tab

[next onyx]

OH I remember some dude got mad at me for abusing ping apparently.

[radiant kettle]

i consider custom cfgs as some illegal stuff tho

[next onyx]

Way back at Xbox.

It was really funny.

The user.cfg?

[radiant kettle]

when people change it for better visibility

[rotund ridge]

Problem with this game is you can have good ping but the server desync can still make the game unplayable

[radiant kettle]

usually for more fps but it still gives you visibility advantage

[next onyx]

Yeah the desync is fucking BAD at times.

[radiant kettle]

yup

the one you have in documents folder

if running via steam

considering them half-semi legit players

its a shame when streamers use it aswell

ngl

[next onyx]

I don't think it's the worst thing.

Games optimisation is definitely spotty but that's because it demands more resources than a usual battlefield game.

[brittle wind]

Hopefully next BF will fix that

[radiant kettle]

its not fair

if it affects fisibility

[radiant kettle]

nope

[brittle wind]

3700X as recommended CPU for BF Labs although 2042 says 2700X for recommended CPU too so who knows

[radiant kettle]

if they add more destruction like somewhat close we've seen in that teaser

3700x will be barely enough

same engine

same assets

[brittle wind]

BFV had a pretty good destruction and it worked fine on my 3700X

[radiant kettle]

just more destruction

we will see

[brittle wind]

You could turn Narvik into a flat wasteland, I think 128 players was the biggest reason why 2042 works like 💩 , but it still works like 💩 in 64p modes too

[radiant kettle]

that will be bs in gameplay wise

if you'll be able to destroy any building

[brittle wind]

Nah, they won't allow that

Even when players wants to destroy every building they see lol

[radiant kettle]

just leave some buildings that are immortal

key points of the map

[vital quail]

People love to act like siege of shanghai has every building being destroyed

[radiant kettle]

some pure chaos

not enjoyable

maybe once in 10-20 games

[vocal tusk]

They probably dont want to make the mistake (like with 2042) where the recommended spec is for 1080p 30 fps at lowest settings.

So many people expected 2042 to run 1080p 60 on a 1050ti.

[ocean pilot]

Honestly I'd argue it had the best and most balanced destruction in the series, but I know that's a very small minority who agree

There was enough to make engagements feel different each time but not too much where there is no longer any cover to use

[vocal tusk]

Destruction in V is good, as its backed up by reinforcements.

[ocean pilot]

Typically Battlefield games sway too far to each direction

BFV found a nice area inbetween the two

And yes, if you wanted more cover you can make it yourself via fortifications

[radiant kettle]

yup something between cod and bf

with most of bf

[vocal tusk]

Cod doesn't have any tho lmao

[rocky gust]

well they kinda did in cod ww2

in the war mode

but thats p much it

[radiant kettle]

then 2042 with MORE cod stuff

so next bf is gonna be a cod or actually something closer to bf route

we'll see

[brittle wind]

Vangoated had some destruction, altho small

[rocky gust]

all i kinda wish is that the game has a variety of skill gap

[rocky gust]

i don't want adderall popping cod omnimovement that turns me into a flying hot pocket with a gun

[radiant kettle]

not gonna happen

[vocal tusk]

I believe destruction and map design will be closer to bf3

[rocky gust]

i hope not

[radiant kettle]

that

[rocky gust]

bf4 air strafe and maybe a slide at most

[radiant kettle]

not happening

[vocal tusk]

There will be a skill gap regardless of movement tech

[radiant kettle]

gonna have smallest skillgap in whole bf franchise

i guess

[brittle wind]

If they listen to community yes

[vocal tusk]

Map knowledge, position and aim should account for the biggest gaps in skill imo

[brittle wind]

So many people are afraid of a slide in this discord alone

[radiant kettle]

haha

[radiant kettle]

movement aswell
