[vivid rune]

Damm its only Thursday 😭 thought it was friday already

[idle lion]

theres a bit of a disconnect between where the bots knife and where it lands

[next onyx]

IT's a slow fucking week.

I thought yesterday was friday.

[sly fiber]

Same but it’s Thursday at least

[obsidian tide]

Question: What GPU do you have? I wonder if it has something to do with it.

I may have an idea as to what could be the cause of the sudden presumably false bans for service disruption.

[naive ember]

No you don't

[arctic grove]

does the base edition give you the ability to unlock all weapons and operators via leveling or do you need the more pricy one ?

[obsidian tide]

You are right, but that's why it's just an idea. Nothing certain. Something developed on my end that was curious, though, and I wanted to see if it could be corroborated or not.

[pine roost]

Everything gameplay related can be earned just with the base game

The expensive version is just a shortcut

Battlefield 2042 AH-64GX Apache Warchief Passenger Bug
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Q6s4hkyLqY

This is easily the most infuriating bug I’ve encountered in any game. I’m not sure how long it’s been there, but the fact that it’s still unpatched about three and a half years after release honestly makes me question whether the developers even play their own game.

[shrewd tinsel]

Anyone wanna run some conquests on ps4/crossgen ?

[kind kettle]

https://youtube.com/live/fefr_AB9xr0?feature=share 141 kills in Outbreak

[pearl ridge]

Fucking nightbirds, you can’t tell where the bugs end and the hacks begin

[naive ember]

In other words you got destroyed

[solid imp]

it's always fun to rorsch an annoying lilbird pilot

[north canyon]

I prefer the Javelin:

https://youtu.be/z0digM3r_sY?si=SBP9psEsmoIgF_nM

[dapper wraith]

Anyone available to help me with platinum on ps5?

[red palm]

I need more maps of BF4🙏🏻or Siege of Shangai

[naive ember]

Go play bf4 then bud

[solid imp]

or Rao hack and wait for them to fly like their avionics aren't disabled

[north canyon]

It definitely throws a wrench in their gears but I prefer more immediate results

And when flying solo, the stinger has proven to be reliable

[wise heath]

How to party up with someone on a different platform?

Just hop into a private server and invite each other from there right?

[grave elk]

yall play in parties... damn

[graceful wedge]

Yes papi

[grave elk]

😔

[fathom crane]

Wen new battlefield?

[naive crown]

trailer possibly in june

[grave elk]

there is a new battlfield coming up?

wild

[naive crown]

Yh

check out battlefield labs for more info

[grave elk]

nah, Im broke so that doesnt matter to me anyways

[torpid wadi]

Lmao fair enough

[dapper river]

If you save up just $10 a month, you could afford the next Battlefield in just 7 months

[grave elk]

that would mean I would need to get a j*b

[graceful wedge]

I'll give you a nice 1

[grave elk]

freaky

[sullen vessel]

Would we be able to get T1 Mastery in the Outbreak mode? Basically are there vehicles?

[grave silo]

welp denied, gonna try again ,but this is stupid, this is why you shouldn't just rely on automated systems sometimes

[solid imp]

the eblc just keeps sucking all the joy out of every match it's in

[vital quail]

It's still bugged to where hitting the rear with an rpg does the least amount of damage like half the time too

35 instead of the 67

[solid imp]

see I didn't even know that, but of course that makes sense given how brokenly oppressive the rest of it is

[burnt halo]

PB heavy suppressor needs a rework or something (6ku as well), they pretty much make every gun take an extra shot to kill at all ranges, compared to wrapped which doesn't effect damage, and type 4, while it does reduce damage, its not enough to increase shots to kill

[vocal tusk]

This skin is brilliant haha. The hand 🤣

[minor widget]

Fix MacKay or Domination Breaktrough

[kindred flint]

is it possible to get some competent teammates in this pve mode?

[crisp panther]

Hey guys I'm just coming back after a long break from this game and I don't know if anyone else is having this issue but every time I die my screen freezes and then my game crashes I tried deleting the cache files as well as reinstalling the game and it still happening any suggestions?
My Graphics drivers are up to date and I already tried to reinstalling the game

[kindred flint]

jesus...my back

[grave elk]

I mean u only have 8 revives

The guy with 14 revives is the actual carry

[kindred flint]

sorry if i let the angel who couldnt even give me ammo, revive

[grave elk]

Yeah, next time be a better team player rather than just chasing kills

[dense flicker]

Anyone know how to fix mouse not working at all, tried reminding, deleting certain files in settings, deleted all settings deleted and installed still csnt use.... anyone help please

[vital quail]

It's a horde mode against bots lol dying is just embarrassing

[kindred flint]

im literally over here holding 2 spawns at once and 3 other people are near each other

but its my fault theyre bad console players smh

[merry heart]

So after BF6 launches DICE should do a collab with old defunct franchises.

Battlefield: Red Alert

[rotund fiber]

No pictures?

[remote kiln]

do you have a controller plugged in aswell (or any other type of input)

[dense flicker]

No bro, just my mouse and a tararus pro keyboard. No problems on other games, was trying to bind the movement to the joystick and it's been weird ever since

[remote kiln]

yeah so tldr is 2042 will absolutely fry if you have any other form of input connected to a USB header on the motherboard e.g. racing/controller/joystick/pedals etc, make sure there's absolutely nothing else

[dense flicker]

Okay, I'll have a look... its just crazy I was at for hours

I can't think of anything else to do

[young panther]

when new bf

[wet slate]

anyone else crashing as soon as they die/get knocked in the outbreak event

nvm its just whenever i get knocked

[swift creek]

Just wanted to step in here and say, @delicate parcel never make a Battlefield like 2042 again. 😅

[wise heath]

Take the aek out of the game

[burnt halo]

everything at 4x zoom and above has glint?

[vital quail]

Supposed to be 6x but I did get killed by someone with a 5x on an AR yesterday and saw it

[trim portal]

Yes the update is now 4x

[native anchor]

ZixDash

[compact snow]

been long time since i played 2042, wanted to ask; did they fix the matchmaking into empty lobby issue?

[vital quail]

it just depends on the time of day and region you are in

i would still say its buggy tho

I play in the middle of the night in the US and when full 128 matches end, sometimes 30-40 will be put into one and the rest will go into another one

[wise heath]

Like the 5th time they changed it

[hazy viper]

Who are those sad, pathetic people, who occupy the edges of maps and just lay prone in one spot and snipe?
I think they do not get many kills this way anyway, and certainly do not help the team, so what drives them?
Are they celibates living in their parents' basement?

A real pain in the ass on Alamein map, too distant to go and deal with them 😄
🧓 RantOverSorry

[paper lake]

Why does my teammate always squat at the back and hold his sniper rifle and still miss it?

[cinder dust]

Hey guys I have a question about the specialist Angel, is it still possible to change gadget to rocket launcher while being Angel support specialist or was it change in a patch where i can't find any track of it? Would help me well to answer ty guys!

[cinder dust]

I play against the edge of the ennemy spawn side with recon/ spawn beacon, while using soflam and hacking so I can sabotage ennemy vehicles ESPECIALY AIRCRAFT. And then i snipe campers while moving / camping so I can get the best attention and focus of the ennemy hoping my team take advantage on objectives. 😐👍🏻
And my team use me as flanking spawn

[terse jay]

hello guys

i really enjoy the way Battlefield graphics are so realistic

[cinder dust]

Omg bro 🤣😭

[terse jay]

but something is not ok in the game, sometimes when i drive a tank it moves like a paper

it jumps and turns over like a ball

[naive ember]

It's fine only graphics matter anyway

[terse jay]

sometimes i see some players moving around like a spinning top

[terse jay]

not at all

[hazy viper]

You, Sir, are an exemplary soldier. I wish other "edge lurkers" got inspired by your style of play.

[naive ember]

Wym? First thing you mentioned was the graphics

It's realistic you said

[terse jay]

yes, i like the visual effects

but some stuff aren't real at all like the tanks

it jumps like a rabbit

[cinder dust]

Does someone have information about angel that could help me

[naive ember]

Nope

[arctic orchid]

Owo

[cinder dust]

At least an answer ty chief

[buoyant yoke]

no one speak Chinese? 没人说中文？or no Chinese people? 还是没有中国人？

[cinder dust]

😶

[buoyant yoke]

Unh?

so why?

[cinder dust]

Natttt me

[buoyant yoke]

enh,i think i might be in problems

[cinder dust]

?

[buoyant yoke]

I can't find my bf test at ea anymore

only skate and apex

[cinder dust]

I mean though files ? You can find it ? Look in the store just gonna be annoying to open

Or through windows search

[buoyant yoke]

nonono, i mean,ea's website

I want to join for BF test but?now I can't find it

[pine roost]

It doesn’t appear on the page, you get sent an email if you’re in

[woven prism]

just use VPN to fix

[pearl ridge]

Whoever designed El Alamein should be sent to the fucking Donbas

[fickle wharf]

[obsidian tide]

They may have been moved to Engineer Specialists only.

[pearl ridge]

Bright side is that I got two tank kills with my GVT using AP rounds

Turns out if you put enough of them into the rear you can bust the engine

Gotta wonder at the looks on their faces

[naive ember]

They probably didn't care since they most likely killed you 5 times already

[pearl ridge]

Nope, not once

[noble pivot]

hi, new here. i wanted to ask about this issue im having, i played the game like 2-3 times a day on various times but after the first session if dont restart my pc the game doesnt launch. does anyone know if its happening to them?

[naive ember]

Just play on a console, old gen 2042 runs better than pc apparently

[noble pivot]

ughhh, i dont have one. was planning to buy a pro for GTA6 whenever that comes out but those plans forwarded to next year

[brittle wind]

Outbreak event seems to be good for easy Boris T1

Just place turret in places bots can't reach and you'll get 10K damage per extraction

[pearl ridge]

You guys are making it to extraction?

[brittle wind]

Once in a blue moon

[hazy viper]

Have just played with a guy who went 110:10 in under 7 minutes of Redacted CQ, sigh.
That is a kill every 4 seconds. I find that hard to believe.

[past fractal]

Stop calling ne a botter 😫

[past fractal]

Thats me.

[naive ember]

I'm the guy that went 10-0 against you

[brittle wind]

I'm the guy he went 110 against

And finally got Boris T1, all the specialists are completed

[grave elk]

u can finally touch grass 🙏

[past fractal]

I havent played for a week tho. Still top fragged after joining midgame😋

[naive eagle]

they removed my unfair ban, freedom is already a reality 🫡

https://tenor.com/view/jail-gif-14654480572467421670

[granite lava]

O think BF 42 is way to overhated like fr this game is still fire or better said it got fire.

[olive charm]

Wish they’d do the same for mine, apparently was cheating never have I ever!

Must be some dated software I have installed

[naive eagle]

Don't worry, I saw on the forum that several people were unbanned today, this means that they found the flaw, you should be released soon too.

[olive charm]

Ohhh yeah I just see the email, thanks for telling me!!

[safe temple]

Who's all on then??

[naive ember]

[chilly jacinth]

Surely you aren't breaking NDA right now

[last nest]

bring back hardline fr

[chilly jacinth]

It died for a reason

It ain't coming back

[last nest]

[brittle wind]

Bring back 2142

[merry heart]

Battlefield: Red Alert

[wise heath]

take the aek out of the game Treyarch

What the fuck

[fair drum]

Who wants to run the outbreak mode rn?

[dense salmon]

What happened to the Redacted map in Close Quarters Conquest? It's been rotating between Stadium and Haven ever since "This Week's Game Mode" Outbreak got released? Anyone else noticing the same or just my luck?

[hidden trellis]

Im down

[humble geode]

Yeah

[fair drum]

What’s your tag

[hidden trellis]

Coked Reaper

[fair drum]

Sent a request

[hidden trellis]

Bet I accepted

[fair drum]

Send me an invite

[hidden trellis]

Can't your not online according to my game lol

[fair drum]

That’s so weird

[hidden trellis]

What's your tag?

[fair drum]

One sec I think I gotta close the game

Brallan_killer4

[hidden trellis]

Your not even popping up for me when I search you up

[chrome hazel]

HOLY does outbreak suck 😭

back to conquest

[desert leaf]

Question. Why is there packet loss when I'm playing by myself?

And lag spikes of above 1000

The power of an always online game...

[remote kiln]

are you playing rush 128 or conquest 128? (and are you on WiFi?)

[desert leaf]

Conquest 64 (I'm playing by myself with bots)

And yes to WiFi

It's in spikes too

I'm going to complain to my ISP

Can't upload images, huh

[wet slate]

the game is always online, probably for like progression or smth

[desert leaf]

I am aware

Thank you though

[scenic forge]

Always emty

Can’t even join a game in last 3 months just join try and leave

[vital quail]

middle east is a dead region

would only have luck in portal browser most likely

(going off context from your profile)

[small lichen]

I have better luck with the HC servers, maybe they are just filled with bots but i try for player count as much as possible when choosing a server, hence why i end up on HC most of the time.

[scenic forge]

Its end for 2042 I think just wait for new one

Play delta now it’s not that good like battlefield but just chill tell have something out

[sweet thorn]

hello

hiHi~ o(￣▽￣)ブ

[pearl ridge]

Fucks sake if we took all the shit maps out of this game there wouldn’t be a game left

[pearl ridge]

How do they eat shit so consistently

Even the portal maps are no relief because they went out of their way to pick the worst ones from their respective games

[naive ember]

[sly fiber]

Bf5 and bf1 still have large player count

[ashen wolf]

They are the simple kind of maps indeed

[orchid tusk]

Interesting Steam Client Beta Update release notes. Could it have something to do with this game and Steam Players trying to play it?

(I really do not know, but like to speculate given how inherently unstable the game is.)

[orchid tusk]

could it be......? nah nethermind

[merry heart]

could it be

amogus

twerks

[orchid tusk]

SO MANY TROLLS!

just like playin Skyfox-killin these bots

If you're on the desert side, you're destined to lose

[rare night]

Hi, i missed the latest Su-57 skin CLOUDPIERCER. Is there any way to reintroduce it to game through new event? Or dome other way to get it?

[fickle wharf]

nope

[rare night]

Damn I like that skin a lot!’

[fickle wharf]

it was a ea play reward

[acoustic seal]

i swear to god this game feels worse on a rx 7800 than when i was playing on a 1050 ti

maybe i just notice the sludge factor more now that i'm not hard capped to 25fps

[chilly jacinth]

There's no shot you were playing on 1050ti before

[acoustic seal]

yeah

all low gets you a relatively stable 25fps all the time

it's like halo infinite where performance is artificially bad for some reason i can only chalk up to dx12 because there's no other user facing differences

[chilly jacinth]

infinite is just the ass tier engine

runs like shit on any hardware

[acoustic seal]

it and 2042 perform exactly the same regardless of map size or player counts so something else is up

[chilly jacinth]

nah 64p performs way better than 128p

[acoustic seal]

on the 1050ti i mean

[rose creek]

hello, i need some help with my game suddenly crashing after i installed bf1

when i check windows events log i get this error right at the moment of the crash
can't log in "ECCB175F-1EB2-43DA-BFB5-A8D58A40A4D7"

error 0xC0000035

i can join matches normally but the moment i start playing it gets a random hiccup and crashes without an error

it all started when i installed bf1, i uninstalled it, reinstalled 2042, reinstalled ea anti cheat and nothing works

[hollow jewel]

did you install through steam or directly with EA?

[rose creek]

im playing through xbox

like the xbox app

[fossil pilot]

Hey all, new player here, last time I played 2142 before the 2010s arrived and I became an adult. I'm wondering, which game mode should I play? I tried 64v64/128, but it's too hard.

[hollow jewel]

sounds like you've likely got a permissions issue - try manually creating a folder on your C: drive - call it Games or something and then add that folder to your list of options to install games to

[fossil pilot]

on the other hand, which one has more players usually? haven't had issues with 128 so far.

[rose creek]

i'll try, but i dont know what caused this issue, i played for +50 hours without any issues, i installed bf1 and it stopped working normally

[obsidian tide]

Even after resetting shader cache?

[hollow jewel]

sometimes windows registry issues can cause it

[obsidian tide]

Corrupted registry entries could lead to more than just perf problems, potentially.

[obsidian tide]

In theory, 64 players and under. Xbox One, PS4, Xbox Series S/X, PS5, and PC can all play those.

128 player game modes are limited to Xbox Series S/X, PS5, and PC.

[rose creek]

sorry i don't understand what you mean by adding that folder

[acoustic seal]

fresh install of windows and everything

[hollow jewel]

open windows explorer -> click on your C: drive on the left -> right-click in the empty space on the right where you see all of the folders and choose Create-> New Folder

then give it a name like Games or something

[rose creek]

no, i know that, i did that, but i don't understand how would that help

[obsidian tide]

On the same machine, or all new machine?

[rose creek]

i can make a new folder

[hollow jewel]

you need to tell the Xbox app to use that folder to install new games to it

[hollow jewel]

step-by-step guide:

Open the Xbox app: Launch the Xbox app on your PC and sign in to your account.

Access Settings: Click on your profile icon in the top-left corner, then select "Settings" from the dropdown menu.

Navigate to Install Options: In the left-hand menu, click on "Install".

Choose Drive: Select the drive where you want to install your games. You can choose from the dropdown menu or select a specific drive letter.

(Optional) Change Folder: If you want to install games to a specific folder within the chosen drive, click the "Change folder" button and browse to your desired location. In this case you'll choose the new folder you created.

[brittle wind]

I only played Infinite during release but it ran way better than 2042

[rose creek]

I understood the steps, I just don't understand how would that help me with my issue

I can create new folders without any problems

Do I have to redownload 2042?

[hollow jewel]

sometimes if your windows registry gets corrupted it'll will cause permissions issues for the Xbox app and it's really picky about permissions

by creating the new folder as the user you're logged in as it's like starting over

[fossil pilot]

funny how MS has issues deploying their own app on their own OS. LOL

[hollow jewel]

technically you could just move the install to the new folder but since you've continually had issues I'd recommend downloading from scratch

[fossil pilot]

danke!

[acoustic seal]

its not a hardware issue, im just whining cuz the inherent 2042 sludge is way more noticeable when you're not also fighting through console framerates

[hollow jewel]

yeah it's really asinine

[acoustic seal]

the actual answer is no changes aside from sata > nvme ssd and new gpu

[rose creek]

it's still crashing so i dont know what to do anymore

i have no idea how installing bf1 fucked everything up i didn't even boot it up

[hollow jewel]

you must have better than 2gb speeds because wow that was fast if you're trying to say you downloaded the game fresh haha

that's 100GB =-O

[rose creek]

i didnt reinstall it

i did that last night and it didnt work

i moved the folder

i repaired it again

yet nothing

[hollow jewel]

yeah well i told you if you just moved your current install to a new folder likely wouldn't do the trick /shrug

possible but not recommended >.<

[rose creek]

eh i guess im done with bf im not gonna fight this random ass issue

[hollow jewel]

but if a fresh download to a fresh folder doesn't resolve the issue then your problem lies deeper than the game

[rose creek]

not in the mood to redownload almost 100gbs every time i try a new solution

[hollow jewel]

can't say I blame ya

[rose creek]

thank you for the help though i appreciate the effort

[hollow jewel]

maybe you can start it before ya go to bed tonight

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[lethal hull]

man why tf the best sniper in the game gotta be behind a paywall

[chilly jacinth]

There's no paywall for any guns, specialists, maps or vehicles

[lethal hull]

then why on the gun i want does it say battlefield 2042 elite edition

and its doing no progression on the unlock requirements

[chilly jacinth]

If there's no progress you haven't done what you need to unlock it

[lethal hull]

but it says damage inflicted on enemy vehicles with primary weapons

im doing that and it doesnt go up

[chilly jacinth]

What weapon are you using?

[lethal hull]

ak24

[chilly jacinth]

That does 0 damage unless you have AP rounds

[lethal hull]

man this game is confusing as shit

[chilly jacinth]

If you toss some c5 or mines on a vehicles and shoot em that counts

[lethal hull]

ok thx

[fossil pilot]

there's no friendly fire in this game, right? I just don't wanna kill someone by accident.

[chilly jacinth]

Only in hardcore

[fossil pilot]

oh! had no idea. thanks

[zealous loom]

[acoustic seal]

god this game is ass

[flint pebble]

LOL

[flint pebble]

whys it ass?

is it u or the game lmk

[acoustic seal]

the sludge when you're trying to aim at someone or control recoil

[flint pebble]

so ur aim is ass

not the game

js look up settings or something

[acoustic seal]

worst most swamp tar feeling input i've ever come across

i can flick on venezuelans with the gauss gun all day in hldm and somehow cannot track a target for shit in this game

make it make sense

[flint pebble]

^^^

idk what else to tell u gang

[acoustic seal]

there is no fixing it

[brittle wind]

2042 is goated

[rain violet]

Why are you talking about the mouse input being bugged? You don't even play on that input lol

It's known to be an engine level issue with 2042.

[flint pebble]

chill dude dont hurt me over mouse input pls

🙁

[burnt halo]

for the super 500, should i run flechette or buckshot

also can super 500 one shot to the head with slugs?

[vital quail]

Slugs dont for the normal shotguns so I doubt they would for the super500

[obsidian tide]

Which one?

[rose creek]

I fixed it, turns out when I installed BF1, my GPU drivers also got updated, and it's an issue with the new AMD driver version, if anyone has the same problem just revert to Adrenalin 23.5.1

[kind osprey]

Is it possible to spawn vehicles in Dominate or Death playlist game mode?

[chilly jacinth]

No

[kind osprey]

Well I was just in a game that the enemy spawned a tank 3 times

[chilly jacinth]

You're in the wrong playlist if there's a tank

[vital quail]

someone here posted a pic/vid of an ifv on stadium the other day

maybe call in glitch?

[foggy ledge]

Anyone have suggestions what to do as my BF2042 keeps on crashing and exits the game randomly.

[random dock]

check your video driver

[foggy ledge]

It's updated. Still game crashes.

[ruby cargo]

Hey, how can I make PostProcess.DofMethod it changed itself to none during startup game/map change, I added it to User.cfg but it doesn't work

[chilly jacinth]

Set the file to read only

[ruby cargo]

but other command works normally

I have Render.ResolutionScale 1.35 and PostProcess.DofMethod none, the first works, the second doesn't

[chilly jacinth]

none is not a valid command

1 for on and 0 for off

[ruby cargo]

in game console it only works with none

and circular

[chilly jacinth]

hmm okay seems like that command is different

PostProcess.DofMethod DofMethod_None seems to be the correct command

Not sure it will work even in the user.cfg

[ruby cargo]

Okay, I'll check later

[idle lion]

Can we get like ONE breakthrough server full on Oce 😭

[frank nova]

Doubt it sadly

[idle lion]

australia moment

cant wait for bf6 to drop so i dont have to deal with low player pop anymore

[ashen wolf]

The peak playtimes are weird as well. Was playin friday literally all night but yesterday there was barely anyone online lol

[naive ember]

Move to NA

[idle lion]

been thinking of moving to canada ngl

[forest yoke]

Anyone on in europe?

[next onyx]

2042s waning playerbase and increasing rate of staleness is purely the reason why I haven't been playing it.

[fickle wharf]

its over

[brittle wind]

I don't think we had rotations in game modes since like beginning of war machine event

They should bring back infantry BT and I will play it 😭

[next onyx]

Frontlines is a treat.

[brittle wind]

Frontlines XL yes 😭

20v20 is too small imo

[next onyx]

Its a good size considering the centre of action.

[last nest]

is a i5-12600k and a rtx3060, 36 gb of ram good for 2042 or is my pc gonna explode?

[chilly jacinth]

Should be at or above recommended specs

Afaik

[remote kiln]

36? I think you mean 32?

[naive ember]

He meant 36 clearly

[last nest]

yea 32, mb

[remote kiln]

no worries, specs are fine

[remote kiln]

one minor note if you get strange hitching or bad 1% lows in framerates turn off the e cores for your processor specifically

[wooden mica]

Flashpoint sucks so much for helis

[dreamy mason]

ea app friends list not working, any one getting Same prob?

[wise compass]

ye

[glad nymph]

german players ???

[obsidian tide]

More than enough. The game expects at least an 8GB GPU to have some VRAM room.

The 4GB VRAM Minimum spec is a lie. The maps want more.

Flashpoint alone wants 7GB of VRAM.

[rose creek]

Do you have an AMD GPU?

Downgrade your drivers if so, there's something wrong with the latest update (25.3.1)

[obsidian bluff]

Guys, can I get gf by playing 2042?

[remote kiln]

25.3.1 has these issues too fyi, it has to be downgraded lower

[wise heath]

Are the servers acting up today?

I can’t load into a single match

Let alone join my friend

I can’t create a party

[left spoke]

@wise heath same here

[livid mesa]

same cant join up my friends

[wise heath]

Here’s hoping that deleting the fucking game will fix it

Was literally working last night

[left spoke]

I wouldn’t delete it

3 people with the same issue is likely a server problem

Nothing deleting it will help solve

[wise heath]

Already did

[left spoke]

Rip

[wise heath]

Ofc the one time someone wants to actually play 2042 is when the servers go to shit

[rose creek]

I meant to say 25.3 is the one with the issues

The one you have to downgrade to is 23.1 iirc

[remote kiln]

about there yeah

[fiery iron]

Error .... for how long?!

[brittle wind]

The lion doesn't concern himself with gfs

[obsidian bluff]

Did you just speak?

[brittle wind]

Yes

[merry heart]

No I Rawr'd

[fiery iron]

you might get a new bf or two

[merry heart]

[violet plinth]

Frustrated and annoyed: Why can’t I see any friends online, no friends list, and no parties? This is all pointless! The game has barely any potential and wastes it all! Unplayable...

[fiery iron]

Word!

[remote kiln]

uninstall the EA app
run winget install --name "EA App" via cmd, this will reinstall the application
verify 2042 game files after to allow for the relink to run
your friends list will return

[violet plinth]

and i see no Partys!!!

[dreamy mason]

Same old shit Thats EA ,,Billy No M8

[fiery iron]

and for xbox/console??

[remote kiln]

Xbox/playstation I have no idea, the pc one is due to the EA app being out of date

I only like to play with my friends as a team for the most part. When they they want to try to play.

[dreamy mason]

lol try and play

[acoustic seal]

i dont know how this game functions at all on consoles, i'm realizing the weird stutters i get in gunfights are because my r5 5600 is pinned at 100% all the time

Hey Guys, is the EA Friends list/EA SOCIAL down for anyone else? or is it up and running?

nvm i just read earlier posts, yes EA FRIENDS is down for everyone

[wise heath]

Does the bcg grip increase ads speed?

Oh nvm my friend misread the thing

Encountered first cheater

Fucking great

Love pc players

[merry heart]

first time meme

[vital quail]

Yesterday I got killed by someone using a heavy suppressor and rattlesnake grip on the xce bar

Embarrassing to admit but wtf is that attachment loadout

[brittle wind]

Heavy supp + subsonic makes it undetectable

Most annoying setup in the game, glad no one is using it

[wise heath]

EA friends still broke

[merry heart]

Did you complain to EA

[wise heath]

My dad works at EA

[merry heart]

[burnt halo]

subsonic on xce bar is extremely difficult to compensate for bullet drop tbh

[burnt halo]

seems pointless if they're using a scope with glint tbh

[zealous loom]

[burnt halo]

been using some off meta guns been pretty fun

(ac42, mp9, rpt31)

[vocal tusk]

Try the PP29

[waxen heath]

Does anyone know why I have to change Dx12Enabled in settings every once in a while when i start the game for it to get past the satellite animation?

[vocal tusk]

AC42 isnt all that good these days, especially since visual recoil was added

[vocal tusk]

That setting does essentially nothing. Are you sure its not a placebo affect? BF 2042 only has 1 renderer, DX12

[waxen heath]

im very sure, next time it happens ill restart the game and see if that fixes it without changing the setting

[vocal tusk]

Does removng the whole file youre editing achieve the same thing?

[waxen heath]

don't know, this fix has been working so its all ive been doing and the animation doesn't happen every startup

[burnt halo]

PP29 is the meta tho

[waxen heath]

I hate how you cant see unlock progress mid match

[next onyx]

Use the scar for something fun.

[karmic oasis]

welp

in a match wit ha cheater

[burnt halo]

losing my mind, team getting destroyed by tanks but just me and 2 other guys running engineer in a full lobby

[wise heath]

Does ea friends work now?

[karmic oasis]

cheater team didn't win lol

[wise heath]

is it phantomfreak?

[atomic bluff]

I'm jump on

[merry heart]

yeah what's the point if the person you killed knows where you are at the moment of death, only for them to revive and get back at you

[waxen heath]

do all the launchers do the same damage?

or does the RPG or javalin do more

[remote kiln]

no

the javelin does more damage because it requires a continuous lockon

[waxen heath]

does the rpg do the same as the javalin

[remote kiln]

no

[merry heart]

hmm

TV missile feels weird to control ngl

[waxen heath]

yeah it sucks compared to older battlefields, it maneuvers super slow and angles more and more as you turn so it goes horizontally faster over time

[merry heart]

yeah i put it on my Bradley and it made me go wtf

so i gotta practice more

[waxen heath]

is tv the same as the law?

prob actually

the javalin feels so sucky, takes forever to lock on, which most of the time an rpg would've killed it faster, only time its usful is at range, but even then it doesn't fly up enough to avoid much

also the fact it can't lock onto the ground anymore is so annoying

[remote kiln]

the javelin can only lock onto ground vehicles..

if you want it on another target like air you need a designator

[kind osprey]

No, def not lol it happened several times, no glitch, someone using a cheat, my toon also spawned behind the map, usually when it does that someone is cheating...

[waxen heath]

you should be able to lock onto anything (realisticly), at least locking it onto the ground would be nice for targeting equitment or large groups of people that are far away

[remote kiln]

no?

it's always only been exclusively ground vehicles without a soflam?

[waxen heath]

realistically, not used to

although i think in bf4 you could

[remote kiln]

realism is stupid, do not apply it to this franchise

being able to lock onto air targets with the javelin without a soflam would make it the most powerful gadget in the game bar none and the soflam would be useless

[waxen heath]

doesn't need to, just lock any vehicle as well as a any point on the ground

let me see if i can find a vid of it, i swear it was in bf4

[remote kiln]

uh yeah no it didn't work like that in bf4

if you wanted to lock onto an AIR target, you needed a soflam

[waxen heath]

yes i know that...

[remote kiln]

what you are describing was the non lock on method in bf4

it didn't lock onto anything, you aimed at the ground and you could manually fire

not that it was any good other than taking out a sniper

[vital quail]

It's like that I call of duty, not battlefield

[remote kiln]

it is possible in this franchise too lol

not in 2042

[waxen heath]

yes

[remote kiln]

you absolutely could do it in prior games

they can't bring that back for this game because of how wide the maps are

sitting on the spawns at spearhead would become the optimal strategy

kal US spawn is surrounded by buildings, just too easily abusable

[waxen heath]

well if javelins can use it, so can snipers :P

only difference is that javelin hits an area but (maybe) cant cange aim point

[remote kiln]

it could work if it wasn't for how the javelin functioned specifically

the problem is it is a U arc turn where it just becomes the best gadget bar none

because it fires above you you circumvent buildings/any form of cover and is a direct flight pattern before a straight vertical pattern down is asking for trouble

it can already bypass flares, and smoke if used right, don't particularly fancy it getting any more powerful

[waxen heath]

do you have to hold lock or is it fire and forget in game

[remote kiln]

for the manual mode you need to lock onto the ground area but after it's launched it's fire and forget

it can be shot down but because it's a "dumb fire" no form of warning etc is given for the target area

[waxen heath]

the least buff the javelin could get is to be faster, the lock on time is just so abismul

[remote kiln]

have a designator in the squad and lock on times don't matter anymore

tanks in this game do not have APS, which they did in 4, they only have smoke which is generally garbage against any competent javelin team

[waxen heath]

they do have aps?

[remote kiln]

certain ones do

[waxen heath]

so why say they dont have aps

[remote kiln]

APS was added like 2 and half years after the game came out

they didn't for most of the games lifespan

it's the same reason why the draugr can't one shot a heavy vehicle with it's laser guided missile, but it can with a designator and a strafing run, to promote an absolute minimum amount of teamwork

albeit that symptom is systematic to this flawed game in general

[waxen heath]

oh yeah, forgot that flareing a soflam means a javelin no longer actually is locked

[remote kiln]

this game's mechanics aren't inherently new all things considered, in that you can bypass flares w/ a soflam designator if done correctly because it will re-engage the javelin lock whilst mid in flight

that's assuming ofc that the javelin hasn't crashed already

same as you could do in 4

[waxen heath]

flaring a javelin is so dumb

[foggy ledge]

Yes, I'm using AMD RX 6600 XT. How to downgrade the drivers? Edit: Got it anyways. Thanks!

My AMD Software version is 25.5.1

[compact lion]

does anyone know if portal lets you unlock weapon attachments

[naive spoke]

where can i get help with a wrongful ban by EA for battlefield 2042 ?

[full flint]

You can go to the single breakthrough mode, and you can also unlock it by playing ai

[patent roost]

Yoo i havent played battlefield since bad company 2. should i get 2042?

[worldly field]

Open AMD Install Manager and disable Automatically keep AMD software up to date

2 - Go to https://www.amd.com/en/support/download/drivers.html

3 - In Search or Browse Drivers and Support by Product find you graphics card

4 - Hit Submit

5 - Hit Previous version

6 - Select your OS
7 - Download 25.3.1
8 - Install over the 25.5.1 (it should say downgrade at some stage). DO NOT do the restore. Ensure Automatically keep AMD software up to date is disabled

[burnt halo]

my guns gadgets and all vehicles are invisible for some reason?

some players are invisible too

[fickle wharf]

Lol
Thats a great bug

[brittle wind]

Yeah, it's goated

[zealous loom]

[brittle wind]

[zealous loom]

[burnt halo]

thoughts on running the DFR Strife as an AR? (40r standard mag and 30rd subsonic mag over belts)

[brittle wind]

It will still have LMG strafe speeds tbh

[hasty light]

👀

[burnt halo]

wish more ARs have AP launchers, just choosing between SFAR and AK 5C

ik AK24 has it, but its not a very good gun

[wise heath]

Did servers just go down?

[arctic grove]

yeet

[deep frost]

Yes, but be prepared for a very different class system and gameplay than what you last used. It’s good just quite different, even from BF4

[next onyx]

Finally got a squad that managed to win that damn horde mode.

[naive ember]

Nah, you should've played in 2023

[patent roost]

is it worth gettin back into?

[dusk gulch]

If you can get it on sale, it’s great
Best $7 I ever spent
Matches are pretty easy to get into, the longest I’ve waited is a minute or so
Skill creep is definitely a thing but it’s not unplayable

[patent roost]

okay thank you

[dusk gulch]

It also goes on sale fairly regularly
I’m on PS5, and it went on sale like twice in a month or something

[naive ember]

It was free a few years ago

Never got into it until s6 came out

[obsidian tide]

It will feel like BC2 But Everything is Horribly Wrong.

25.3.1, 25.3.2, 25.4.1, and 25.5.1 AMD drivers seem to have stability issues with the game, even beyond the game's own instability.

I was using one of said driver versions when I was banned for supposed service disruption, but there wasn't so much a crash as there was a temporary freeze whenever Alt+R to invoke the Radeon Overlay was done.

25.5.1 may be more stable for me now, but I can't retest it with 2042 to see if my installation is a problem given the obvious.

Yes, I have already disputed it. I have not heard back beyond investigating.

[obsidian tide]

They did not yet load into GPU memory, or get replicated yet. Apparently.

HDD?

[low tinsel]

does AMD have the block artifact that sort of floats around on certain maps?

[sturdy comet]

So I started playing battlefield 2042. There are a ton of Cheaters lol. Wasn't expecting it to be so often

Guy went 78-2

Killed two people with one throwing knife as well

[naive ember]

That's a lie

[boreal marlin]

So I started playing battlefield 2042. I have seen 0 cheaters so far.

any way or where to look to get a good party for outbreak? only been matching with absolute dipshits

[limpid pond]

We're getting most of them.banned that's why

[limpid pond]

Yeah big dawg this is just a skill issue. Dude was probably in a tank. I went 96 and 0 in a tank yesterday

[sturdy comet]

No he was shooting

[limpid pond]

Still pretty doable if you get revived

[sturdy comet]

Nah. He was landing 4 headshots instantly on a group

[limpid pond]

What was the name

I'm in na. Most the cheaters I run into get banned farely quick

[sturdy comet]

Mike777 something

[limpid pond]

Not popping up in data base

[sturdy comet]

I reported him this morning so should be banned if they actually give a shit

[limpid pond]

What platform was he on

Also what's your ign

[sturdy comet]

He was on PC

AnimalMotherFxJ

[sudden heath]

If you get banned for playing the game, yea you’re a hacker. And a cheater. You sound like one too fyi

[limpid pond]

Yeah network for stat check is down so I have no way of knowing

[limpid pond]

That's not entirely true. Punk buster banned me on bf4 because I hadn't updated the anti cheat

I updated and was unbanned

[sudden heath]

Right, so you weren’t banned. But what this person is explaining is hack all over it. To have to hack in 2025 nowadays is WILD. lol.

[limpid pond]

It's not lol. He's talking about driver versions. You're on console. You do one update when Playstation sends you an update. For pc we have to update certain parts to versions lmaoo

Look up how to update your pc drivers and you'll see what he's talking about

[sudden heath]

Hack hack hack hack hack hack hack hack hack hack. If it wasn’t, he wouldn’t have been banned. No one gets banned for just playing the game. HACKKKKK

To call people out of their name via discord is WILD…

[limpid pond]

Didn't know saying your name was wild

[sudden heath]

To call someone out their name not knowing how they could ruined their lives is WILD!

[merry heart]

Also hi

[limpid pond]

A bunch of numbers means hacker

[orchid tusk]

id like a tomb raider bf crossover

[merry heart]

id like a Starship Troopers BF crossover

[obsidian tide]

I remember that. It would kick players solely for not having PBSetup and PBSVC components installed and up to date. And you would have to do that manually to be sure, or else suffer eternally.

[orchid tusk]

how bout a mode or special event where you are spawned with random and/or assigned class and gadgets? we ever had that? it could be called Chuck's Operation or something

[pearl ridge]

You’d think that fighters would be better at this whole anti air business

But noooo, it’s always the fucking helicopters

I shit you not the stealth chopper can keep up with a fighter in level flight

And it’s tiny. And agile. And able to just ignore missiles.

Real nice vehicle balance as always dice.

[obsidian bluff]

The lion has entered the chat

[sturdy comet]

Okay breakthrough is a little OP to unlock weapons lol

[naive ember]

[sturdy comet]

M16a3 any good?

Trying to unlock it

[chilly jacinth]

Yes it's top tier

[brittle wind]

No, it's awful

[chilly jacinth]

Don't be a weirdo

[sturdy comet]

I've just been turning the marksman rifles into assault rifles and having fun

[brittle wind]

M16 just like rest of the portal guns has awful spread. You won't be accurate with it.

[sturdy comet]

Leveling is kinda a grind.

Been on 6 hours and got 5 levels

[obsidian tide]

Weak damage per shot on its own compared to other ARs, or otherwise hindered. P90 is more preferable.

[naive ember]

skill issue bud

[sturdy comet]

Higher ranked than you Julio

[sturdy comet]

Isn't that an SMG?

[obsidian tide]

Yes. The comparison is made between Portal guns and similar performance in theory, ignoring the AEK and M416.

[merry heart]

[sturdy comet]

Alright. I've been using the AS Val mostly.

[chilly jacinth]

Why are you comparing an smg to an ar

[sturdy comet]

It punches pretty hard

Probably for performance?

SMGs are stupidly strong range in this game

[obsidian tide]

P90: SMG that can punch and be a workhorse like an AR.
M16A3: AR with the felt output of a weaker SMG.

[chilly jacinth]

They still drop off in damage sooner and have basically no headshot multiplier

[sturdy comet]

That's kinda whatever most people die from body shots

Ttk is low enough anyway that anything headshoting is fine

[chilly jacinth]

Even hitting one headshot will drastically change the ttk

For ARs that is

[sturdy comet]

Sure. But any gun hitting a headshot and you'll die. There's not really much trading going on. The map design is so open you end up getting side shot or shot in the ass anyway. 1v1s are almost always onesided

[chilly jacinth]

nah smgs hs multipler is too low

you'll easily brush off 4 smg headshots if they're even slightly far away

[sturdy comet]

I guess my tracking is pretty decent. If they're not dying to headshots they're dead regardless. Like I said 2042 ttk is pretty low

Kinda surprisingly low

[chilly jacinth]

Eh it's not far off from the older games

[chilly jacinth]

also lol

[weak mesa]

Hi guys is anyone else having issues with the game and the AMD drivers ?

[remote kiln]

revert your driver way back to 25.2.1

its a radeon driver issue

[wise heath]

I hate the fucking aek

Overpowered asf

Take that shit out of the game

[weak mesa]

I dont know how

[remote kiln]

amd cleanup utility, download the old release, install as normal and turn off automatic updates in the radeon GUI

[obsidian tide]

Amd.com. Support, Drivers. Find your GPU. Select it. Go to Previous versions on its Drivers page. Select the appropriate OS. Download and install it.

[remote kiln]

https://www.amd.com/en/resources/support-articles/faqs/GPU-601.html

do not try overwriting the old driver version with the new one, you will have problems

[weak mesa]

Okay thank you guys

Okay i will try to not

But what if they make update the game?

[chilly jacinth]

Doesn't matter

[obsidian tide]

The issue was formally acknowledged by AMD as of the 25.4.1 Optional driver, but it affects any driver version from 25.3.1—25.5.1.

[obsidian tide]

The game only targets an older AMD driver version as a minimum.

It has not yet retargeted to deprecate Polaris GPUs.

This issue only affects anyone with RDNA GPUs.

[sturdy comet]

Use DDU and install a driver

Never just update a driver

[weak mesa]

Okay thank you guys btw I have the Asrock Radeon RX 6600 challenger

[brittle wind]

That's the issue of M16 though, spread assures you won't be accurate with HS or even body shots

[sturdy comet]

At least you'll kill the guy that's prone underneath him. Since these Fuckers live inside each other in a corner

[graceful wedge]

Heypapi

[sturdy comet]

Born journo

[slow burrow]

Anyone know why the game just sticks on a black screen when it launches?

I have an AMD GPU if that's of any help

It's not just 2042 that does this either which I'm not sure why

[jolly marlin]

Why is the dead space bundle 3,000 battle points when I own like 85% of the cosmetics, shouldn't the price decrease?
(There's only three cosmetics I don't have, using this logic, each one costs 1,000 battle points, which means each individual cosmetic is more expensive than a usual bundle? I find this absolutely ridiculous.)

[slow burrow]

The game worked perfectly fine before EA launched their proprietary anti-cheat but since then every EA game I own just goes to a black screen permanently and does nothing

So does anyone know how to fix this issue or is EA just gonna give me not just the tip, but the whole shaft too?

I've done a ton of steps to try and troubleshoot the issue and nothing has worked

[sturdy comet]

Smgs are way overpowered

They feel like ARs with higher FR and no recoil lol

[slow burrow]

So like is this issue just an AMD related issue or is there an actual fix for this?

[chilly jacinth]

Can't say i agree, the spread isn't that bad

[winged sable]

So when i play in air superiority server, the flare on jet sometime just not work at all is this lag?

[remote kiln]

it's a Radeon specific problem, nothing to do with the game

revert your drivers to 25.2.1

[slow burrow]

Alright well I reverted to 25.2.1

Will I need to restart my PC for it to work?

[remote kiln]

well, you'd have to have done that anyways to have properly reverted it

[remote kiln]

this is what you need to use

[slow burrow]

For the 25.2.1 install, do I do a full install or just the driver?

[slow burrow]

Followed instructions but still met with a black screen

Yeah no it's not working

[slow burrow]

I have 25.2.1 drivers and the game still black screens

[naive ember]

Just play on console

[slow burrow]

I'm not dishing out an extra $600 just to play a $20 game

That's stupid

[glass imp]

[slow burrow]

Or sounding with a DS stylus and expecting it to not get stuck

What I'm trying to say is this issue can happen with consoles too

[dusk hedge]

Is 2042 Cross Save

[slow burrow]

dunno

[dusk hedge]

Can I Play my ps Account on pc then ?

[vital quail]

https://help.ea.com/en/help/battlefield/battlefield-2042/battlefield-2042-cross-play/

[slow burrow]

Yeah no, even after 25.2.1 driver rollback the game still black screens

@remote kiln I did the rollback to 25.2.1 and it still shows just a black screen

[remote kiln]

./shrug

[slow burrow]

I guess DICE and EA really hate their playerbase

[dusk hedge]

unfortunately not community oriented

[slow burrow]

Remember back when Battlefield was good?

[dusk hedge]

2016 yeah

[slow burrow]

I'm talking way back in 2006

[obsidian tide]

Hold on. Open C:/Program Files/EA/AC.

Run the EA Anticheat Installer.

[slow burrow]

Did that already

[flint plover]

its not the game its a setting you have goofed up

[slow burrow]

Nah it's the game because I tried to run it on my other computer and it worked just fine

[obsidian tide]

And updating and repairing the correctly located install directory of the game did not help?

[obsidian tide]

Hang on a sec. Give hardware comparison between both machines.

[vital quail]

Wouldn't that mean it's not that game...?

[obsidian tide]

As well as any software differences between them.

[flint plover]

Seriously if you didnt follow the go to instruictions... then, well, you a troll, because they work.

[obsidian tide]

This user's issue may be different.

We must find out and troubleshoot this.

[slow burrow]

Main PC has a Ryzen 7 5800X with an RX 7600 XT, the second machine is running an Intel core i5-9400 with a GTX 1650 which is substantially worse but the game still went to the main menu

[obsidian tide]

Okay, let's see...How were the Chipset Drivers for the board installed? Just through AMD Install Manager?

[slow burrow]

You mean the AMD adrenaline setup?

[obsidian tide]

Yes, and its Install Manager app accessed from Settings, Manage Updates within the software.

[slow burrow]

Yeah I got the latest chipset driver of 7.04.09.545

[obsidian tide]

Let me just check the site or my own system to cross-reference that and be sure...

Yep, that's the one.

Would there be any persistently running software in the background, or in the taskbar?

That isn't on the working machine.

[slow burrow]

My old PC?

[obsidian tide]

Yes. Looking for sources of software interference now.

[slow burrow]

It has the same stuff running in the background minus AMD stuff

[obsidian tide]

Okay, let me think...One idea is to do the classic Windows OS repair.

Admin Elevated Command prompt or Powershell with these commands:

1. Dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth
2. Sfc /scannow

In that order. If the commands do not work, there is a space before each /.

[slow burrow]

mk now what do I do?

[obsidian tide]

Did the commands find any integrity issues?

[slow burrow]

It found corrupted things and fixed them

But I'm no longer at my desk

Tfw we are closer to year 2042 than we are to 2006 👴

[wispy blaze]

[pulsar vortex]

Does anyone know if there’s a site you could find and download 2042’s vehicle models from?

Or if there’s a ripper tool

[vestal yacht]

is it worth getting into this game for the first time now? or shall I carry on playing bf1 until the next major release?

[north canyon]

Does the Apache in BF2042 have bulletproof glass?

Because I was just spamming someone’s head inside the cockpit and it wasn’t doing any damage

[remote kiln]

no

there's damage resistance but it's not bulletproof

[north canyon]

I guess it was a glitch then

[vital quail]

I only ever see it noticed on jets when people land on top of other ones but the hit box of the player might be slightly off in the cockpit due to the vehicle moving

[north canyon]

In my case, the vehicle wasn’t moving

I have a clip of it

[vital quail]

in id:customize get the community creations role to post in #screenshots-and-clips

i don't have nitro, so i will have to just upload it to my YouTube channel and share the link here

So BF2042 opens up

however

it just shows a black screen but I'm still able to open the command console on the top left

[spare pine]

anyone else have their game crash when getting downed in the new event?

[dull path]

i finally got that shotgun skin from the outbreak event

[zealous loom]

Istg the amount of times I get Stadium in BT is too much

Most ass mix of mode and map

I’m gonna try CQ cause BT feels like it’s been giving the worst maps lately

[burnt halo]

game would be improved if stadium was removed tbh

[brittle wind]

Remove Stadium and Haven lol

[burnt halo]

haven is alright

[brittle wind]

Nah

[leaden temple]

I've just started cheesing the EOD bot on the infantry maps now (agree I'd rather not see them in main rotation)

[fervent heath]

Hey I'm trying to unlock the drugr and I got like ten kills and well flying planes and helos aren't my strong suit

So if anyone has some advice please hit me up please

Throw a pipe and spin how does that help me I can't fly a jet or a helicopter for the life of me the only thing I am good at is land vehicles that's it

I am just trying to grind out and unlock what vehicles that I can

I don't understand I have to get infantry kills with air vehicles

Um okay thanks

I guess I will try that next time I go on then

Okay any advice on how to be a better air pilot because I really suck at killing guys in air vehicles but land vehicles I can handle myself but air I really suck

Oh thanks okay I have been doing this challenge on co op conquest

Oh really

[mighty holly]

[wise heath]

Lycan got banned?

[bright bloom]

how do i unlock attachments for my guns

[pearl ridge]

I think Stadium skips right past cancer and AIDS and goes right to acute dysentery

[full flint]

U can play with ai

[sturdy comet]

I fuckin hate it

You're just walking through snoop dogg's house you can't see shit because of the smoke

[pearl ridge]

Both sides can actually snipe at each other from spawn, both inside and outside.

[vital quail]

i could never imagine using a sniper on stadium

[sturdy comet]

Yeah I don't like that really especially since they don't opt for the 3 second spawn immunity so you literally just get slept when you spawn in lol

[pearl ridge]

The place was cut out of Hourglass (already a bad map) because it sucked that bad.

[sturdy comet]

Also kinda funny there's an open spot spawn where you can get sniped from the other side

[vocal tusk]

Thats not why it was removed tho

[sturdy comet]

Even if you're a bad shot you can smoke 1 out of 5 players that spawn in a group lol

[vital quail]

My only experience of hourglass before the rework is tdm so i never got to experiencce it

[sturdy comet]

I've only been playing tdm lately

So I can actually learn to run and gun

[vocal tusk]

It was removed because it was their goal post launch to unify the map layouts between old and current gen consoles (For "New" maps). Hourglass was too big previously to work on last gen.

[sturdy comet]

Bad performance?

[vital quail]

When first starting up 2042 i think it still puts you into the old hourglass but a small version of it as the intro match

[vocal tusk]

Hourglass was already a smaller layout on last gen pre-rework

[sturdy comet]

Are they still updating 2042?

[vocal tusk]

As was the current gen 64P version (Neither had the stadium)

[sturdy comet]

This is my 3rd day playing

[vital quail]

no new content, only portal stuff and thats not guaranteed

or bug fixes

[vocal tusk]

It gets smaller updates, and Quality of Life fixes. the odd event, but not a lot.

[sturdy comet]

Ehh I guess guns are cool

But everyone says portal guns suck so idk

I just unlocked the m416

[vital quail]

smgs are ok and like 2 ARs but thats about it

if i get bored ill switch to one just for variety but other than that, 2042 guns i prefer

[frozen frost]

i enjoyed Hourglass when i played 2042

[chilly jacinth]

Only way anyone enjoyed the og hourglass is if you were sitting in a heli

[fossil pilot]

I had no idea that there's a solo/co-op mode. I can finally do some practice

[pine roost]

Although the performance of the servers there can be pretty bad, might be better to just make a solo portal lobby

Like, helis feel completely different in solo matches compared to actual games

[vocal tusk]

Yeah, the movement and gunplay is completely different between solo and coop > live games, or games made on Portal.

Outside of unlocking attachments...that mode isnt terrible useful for learning to play or getting better.

[vital quail]

the most common bug that i see people bring up comes from solo

but its just a low priority or can't be fixed without changing a lot (lis camera bug)

or vehicle spawn camera bug

[vocal tusk]

Yeah, same. But everything in that mode feels so slugish and unresponsive.

Basically it plays like the PS4 version of the game.

[pine roost]

Weapon recoil feels so different that I would argue it’s not even that good for weapon practise

Solo portal is just so much smoother

[obsidian tide]

So much for here.

[fossil pilot]

yeah! I just learned that there's a tiny robot that can help me every once in a while, for example 😄

but I did have more fun with the mid level of Co-Op/Solo than the live game. in the live games I just spawn and die in 20 secs.

Hello, I need help. battlefield 1 house puzzle

[obsidian tide]

Noted. Some tips include:

1. Headshots. Always.
2. The DM7 can penetrate and destroy cover that blocks or hinders escape routes.
3. Always be moving, or shooting. Run. Think. Shoot. Live.
4. Do not get cornered, or turn around. The Geists love to perform Takedowns.

Battlefield Bulletin (@BFBulletin) on X

EA Motive's creative director Roman Campos-Oriola and senior producer Philippe Ducharme say the next #Battlefield campaign is inspired by Alex Garland's 2024 film "Civil War" and the American spy thriller television series "Lioness".

[rotund ridge]

Well, my ban was removed so that's good.
However, I never found out why I was banned in the first place !
I now have trust issues

[obsidian tide]

My disputes failed, and were dismissed with prejudice given how many cases were made about it. (More than 2.)

So much for contesting it.

[naive ember]

[obsidian tide]

Only thoughts as to what was flagged include:

1. AMD driver versions, and related Install Manager.
2. BitDefender.
3. Notepad++.
4. Brave browser cross-device sync, but I turned off Continue to use background apps when the browser is Closed, which may have interfered with the syncing.
5. Pale Moon browser.
6. Steam Client Beta builds or its overlay.
7. JBL QuantumEngine driver for headphones.
8. A different Realtek audio driver for I/O in the system.
9. Having Fast Boot settings in the UEFI forced to Minimal instead of Auto.
10. Discord.
11. LibreOffice.
12. Not having the right Windows Desktop Runtime Redist version installed.
13. Netgear XR500 router settings, given DumaOS.
14. FXLauncher, used with World War 3 the game. It has a seeding mechanism similar to the My.Games launcher, but I do not recall it running in the background on the day of the ban.
15. System Restore causing issues and drive space usage to be too high.
16. HDD.
17. HaoGuan driver for an Adesso brand mouse.

I no longer know what it could have been. Those are the best guesses.

[obsidian tide]

I managed to find a GameStall Minidump for the day the ban happened, at least.

[brittle wind]

Spawn immunity wouldn't work in BF tbh, you spawn right next to someone, he dies to a guy in front of you but he wouldn't be able to kill you for example

[blazing cradle]

GOONING

[brittle wind]

What about aim trainer portal modes? Are they similar to solo or multiplayer proper?

[pine roost]

Since they are in portal they feel 5x better. Something about how the solo coop playlist specifically is just unbelievably strange

[vocal tusk]

Its cos that mode uses 20hz servers, instead of 45hz servers used in portal/AOW modes

[brittle wind]

I see

Well glad I was always using TDM attachment unlock server in portal instead lol

[remote kiln]

[stone cradle]

my expectations are low but if it's like BF3 again then I'd enjoy it

it would be cool to do war stories again but this tweet does seem to allude the opposite

never heard of the things they reference here, what are they like?

[acoustic seal]

the era that bf3 happened in is long gone

we're getting bf5.5 with the new game at best

[grave silo]

Riot Vanguard for me, still fighting a ban for it

[bright bloom]

how do i unlock scopes and attachments for my guns, kills?

[obsidian tide]

Correct. Go to the Collection page, click on a gun, and click on its attachments section to learn what requirements exist for each attachment.

If not just kills, doing kills in a certain way.
