Oh ya, heavy is the crown

[main steeple]

Mike Shinoda sounds like MGK now idk

[indigo ruin]

Ew nvm

Naaaaah

Mike shioda sounds like mike shinoda

I luv him

[main steeple]

I think he sounds like Mike sounds like MGK now because he came out as trans

[tough path]

I have a quick question is anyone having issues with getting into a match???

[indigo ruin]

We all do buddy

[indigo ruin]

Wait mgk is trans?

Isn’t he married to Megan fox or something

[tough path]

Okay bet I was like man I really wanna play some battlefield and boom when I got home from work “sorry error code BS”

[wintry gorge]

@orchid tusk 😑

Dice Please! Its Saturday

[orchid tusk]

[wintry gorge]

M44 is the best

[orchid tusk]

[wintry gorge]

Damnit Dice!

[orchid tusk]

[indigo ruin]

Nuh uh

Colts the best

[main steeple]

What's the name of that one song by Ariana Grande that goes like, I Got Beans Greens, Potatoes, Tomatoes

[indigo ruin]

17 round magazine and very little recoil

[rain violet]

Colt doesn't one shot people in the head up to 100m

M44 is the ultimate skill cannon

[indigo ruin]

Well my aim is garbage

[indigo ruin]

I don’t like the deagle too tbh

Too much recoil

[fast cypress]

[indigo ruin]

DICE FIX THE SERVERS

[wintry gorge]

@rain violet h8 u pistol guys 🤬, run around and 1 shot me with your magnum, well I'm trying to PTO 😂

[indigo ruin]

I’m on the same boat as u bro

Getting wrecked by pros

[orchid tusk]

yall dont just follow the list and grind grind grind?

[indigo ruin]

What list?

[orchid tusk]

yeah you know the list of weapons?

[indigo ruin]

Oh

[orchid tusk]

[indigo ruin]

I just got my t1 badge for my g428 rifle

Welrod??

[orchid tusk]

hey some of those guns turn out to be not so bad once you get the hang of em

yeah the worst game in all of battlefield so far as i know

[indigo ruin]

Ooooh

Thought u were talking about 2042

[orchid tusk]

single shot pea shooter with long manual action

[indigo ruin]

Sounds like a pain to master

[tame charm]

hey guys, is the bug fixed or svs still dead?

[orchid tusk]

in 2042, nothing sticks out as being completely a joke like the welrod

[indigo ruin]

Servers still down

[orchid tusk]

which wasnt a joke at all in rl, because it was standard issue the way i understand, poor blokes

papa tracker says it on its way

[wintry gorge]

@orchid tusk Damn, your dedicated. I settled on the guns I use a year or more ago. I don't think I T1 anything in a hot minute

[orchid tusk]

lately i idont even touch the few vehicles i haven't t1d unless i get really down and need to boost morale

[lavish elk]

Hey, do yall know if the 2042 servers work?

[wintry gorge]

Still have yet to t1 Sundance ,Zane or Blasco

[dense valley]

[wintry gorge]

@lavish elk Try to join one

[slender swallow]

EA's probably down entirely atm

[lavish elk]

Ight

[gray sedge]

lobbies are packing today

[orchid tusk]

zane is my favorite and haven't touched him in over a year, but personally still have sundance, irish and liz

[wintry gorge]

I'm able to be in the game but just not join a server

[north saffron]

anyone else getting unable to load persistence data?

[indigo ruin]

Ya for real

[slender swallow]

Yeah

[lavish elk]

Thats my issue rn

[last oar]

Unable to load persistent data

[indigo ruin]

I think it has something to do with the sales going on

[north saffron]

cool not just me then

[orchid tusk]

irish is so hard becasue wtf wants to play close quarters all the time just to get it.

[wintry gorge]

Persistent shmursistany

[last oar]

EA

[slender swallow]

NFS Hot Pursuit doesn't work either. Game shuts lobbies down as soon as races are about to start, so probably EA completely

[orchid tusk]

he needs like 1000000 intercepts

[visual maple]

@last oarSame bruh

[gray sedge]

the deals are immaculate lol

[orchid tusk]

yeah it seems to be across ea games

[wintry gorge]

Dammit

[orchid tusk]

although iv is good to go, and i aint jokin

[wintry gorge]

I've only missed about 10 days of playing this game over the last three plus years. This will be 11 Days

[indigo ruin]

[wintry gorge]

[lavish elk]

I do wish 2042 had offline capabilities 😭

[wintry gorge]

Can't even play it against bots

[wheat spruce]

[lavish elk]

Not even solo/co-op is playable

[gray sedge]

[lavish elk]

"This game is literally, unplayable."

[orchid tusk]

[visual maple]

[orchid tusk]

[wintry gorge]

Well it's still daylight here wish I could play some Battlefield but no

[lavish elk]

Just when im about to sleep the servers work. I ain't sleeping tonight

[white kernel]

[orchid tusk]

For me atleast

[orchid tusk]

[lavish elk]

My controller discombobulated mid game

I quit bro

[orchid tusk]

man i hate when that happens to me

but my favorite is how the draugr spawns pointing at the ground after last update, lol 🤣

[lavish elk]

Could never use a jet/bomber in this game

Too complicated for me

[orchid tusk]

too complicated to acquire one for me for sure, but im still grabbing them when im able

alright main game systems are loading and....

[indigo ruin]

Just won a breakthrough match

[lavish elk]

Fire

Get to it NO-PATs

[indigo ruin]

Forgot the name of the map but it’s Abandoned factory or some crap

Flashpoint?

I think

[vital quail]

reclaimed

[indigo ruin]

Yeah

Ty

Rocked it with a m39 using rao. Placed my tug at the right place including the spawn beacon

Ended up with a negative kd ratio

But I PTFO

[indigo ruin]

Why do you hate recon?😂

[obsidian tide]

If it was a desert factory, Flashpoint.

If it was in the snow, Reclaimed.

[indigo ruin]

It was snowy for sure

[obsidian tide]

Now if only White Pass Portal was a thing.

[indigo ruin]

I dunno what that means but it sounds DOPE

Wait

Is that a map from bf4?

Sounds familiar

[obsidian tide]

Bad Company 2.

[indigo ruin]

Aaaah

[orchid tusk]

that map is acceptable

[indigo ruin]

How do u still remember that? Last time I played bc2 it was like 2011

[orchid tusk]

should have 128 though

[indigo ruin]

Or 2010

[obsidian tide]

Maybe on Port Valdez or Laguna Presa, sure.

[orchid tusk]

i thought we were talking about the 2042 version of reclaimed

good morning vietnam!

[hallow kiln]

I need help..........I'm working very hard trying to get a Tier 1 skin for my DXR sniping rifle. I have to make 1200 kills with my DXR until this skin is unlocked. For some weird reason....maybe this is just a bug of some kind, my kills are now presently at 417, but I've made at least 100 more kills with this gun and my record kill number IS NOT GROWING, it's still at 417 kills. It's been this way every since early this morning. The number of my record kills are not going up, they're staying at 417 kills. I'm thinking this is a bug of some kind, a glitch?!

[vital quail]

kills against bots in solo/co-op play dont count after a certain point

[orchid tusk]

u hear that? try harder. skill issue.

lol j/k

[last oar]

Ha

[orchid tusk]

bought a new lefthanded ps6 mouse--has 27 buttons

[winter citrus]

PLEASE HELP EITH BF2042 HOSTING I click on host server for my friends that I made and it says player created content must be enabled in order to host a server. I went to settings and it was already on I don't know what do do I've already tried reinstalling

[marsh saddle]

Hi guys, is tier 1 not counting anymore for solo/coop?

How does one obtain the tier one skin easily?

[chilly jacinth]

Kill real players

Bot kills stop counting after 360 kills

[marsh saddle]

Tysm. I'll keep that in mind!

[stark turret]

Are there devs in this discord???

[pine roost]

Yes but you aren’t allowed to just dm them

[sour isle]

CRAZY

only if you want to snitch on someone

[white kernel]

if it's discord related you ping a mod

if it's game related you write EA

[sour isle]

i dont think they want you to ping them

[white kernel]

well there's no other way they've left to contact them that I see

most places would just have modmail 😒

[pine roost]

This does have modmail

[white kernel]

not showing in the list?

[vital quail]

there isn't even any reason to ping a dev

[pine roost]

Wait hang on where’s it gone

[white kernel]

they broke it & didn't tell anyone leave no recourse but to ping them I guess

[vital quail]

support desk? yea it got removed a few days ago

[pine roost]

Amazing

That’s their own doing then I guess

[white kernel]

yup

so if there's a server problem... yeah ping a mod

to be fair that's like millions of other discord servers & ea mods aren't special 😄

[vital quail]

devs are not mods tho

[stark turret]

Since when has the stinger been able to one shot the draugr

[pine roost]

Since forever

[vital quail]

soflam might give it more damage

[pine roost]

I always just think of Skyrim when hearing its name

[stark turret]

In the past the stingers only done about 60-65 damage to the draugr but since the last patch update its been one hit.

[pine roost]

The stingers used to have a ‘double hit’ bug where it would do double damage somehow, so it could be that again

[vital quail]

could have also been hit by something else at the same time

if you recorded it you could slow it down

[chilly jacinth]

Draugr should only have 1hp anyways

[somber oasis]

I’ve seen ppl shooting two projectiles with bolt actions but could be a desync issue since the latest patch as well

[brittle wind]

You can't oneshot it with ARs but you can oneshot it with deagle 🤣

[pure wadi]

did they make this game a lot better since launch? why was the reception to this game initially so terrible?

[short sedge]

guys can someone tell EA/AMD they need to fix the freeze after death bug ..... i want to play 2042 so bad

[obsidian tide]

Believed to be an AMD thing primarily.

[lavish elk]

The bugs where horrible. The PP19 i think was the only usable gun at launch, and it was just a bad game. Now its like top 20 games

[last oar]

What specialist do yall main ? I use Blasco

[obsidian tide]

How many jammers do you place per match, on average?

[last oar]

Anytime I can , definitely before any engagement on my behalf sometimes in close quarters to hide a large group defending

@obsidian tide

[obsidian tide]

The usual Blasco.

[last oar]

The edge of not being spottable is a good one

Counter recon is where she shines and that's where I shine naturally

[last oar]

You understand using them is better than not using them to be "cool" right ?

[cursive basin]

hello

[pure wadi]

just got this game, last time I played battlefield was BF4, and in that game you would usually do quick bursts because you could almost max out the rate of fire while constantly resetting the spread/bloom by letting go of left click. is that how gunplay works in 2042?

[chilly jacinth]

Try it and find out

[brittle wind]

Zain

[opal salmon]

Is it normal BF2042 crashes on Windows 8? I played it on internet cafe the other day its not launching, but BF1 does

[white kernel]

probably because it's not a supported OS for 2042

Only 10+ is supported

https://www.ea.com/en/games/battlefield/battlefield-2042/system-requirements

really unless you're on a computer that doesn't support any newer you should change your OS

[pure wadi]

I did and I can't tell if it's better to hold down left click even at range or quick burst

[white kernel]

8 it hopelssly outdated & honestly the suckiest windows recently

(and saying it's outdated makes me want to ping a certain user...)

[chilly jacinth]

If it's running Win 8 i doubt the hardware can even run 2042

[opal salmon]

thats why i said i played on internet cafe, its kinda stupid how they preinstalled every battlefield game (pretty fancy place) but still use fucking Windows 8

[white kernel]

fair enough I suppose

I wouldn't trust a cafe that runs anything that old honestly

[opal salmon]

at least its better than that horrid place when i travel in Bulgaria where they use Vista for CSGO and Dota only

[white kernel]

god... vista came out in 2007

[chilly jacinth]

Running vista online these days

sheesh

[flint zenith]

How long do i have to wait to be verified or accepted to play test battlefield 6 i already registered 2 days ago?

[chilly jacinth]

Play test invites are random

you're not guaranteed to get access ever

[pure wadi]

when is battlefield 6 coming out

[lavish elk]

2026 probably

If we're lucky

[pure wadi]

ah

thx

[cursive basin]

🥀

[opal salmon]

we got GTA 6 before Battlefield 6

[pure wadi]

dawg I am still flabbergasted I got this whole ass triple A title for 3 bucks

[opal salmon]

Same, i bought a while back in a sale for 3 dollars for 3, 4, 1, and V, dirt cheap as fuck, and 2042 not long ago

[acoustic seal]

november 2025 (most likely) - march 2026 (worst case scenario that doesn't involve dice going bankrupt)

[pure wadi]

do I need to buy DLC to play the game properly or is it good just the base version?

also, do I have access to a specialist that can heal themselves off the rip?

[opal salmon]

Thats the bargain bin part of buying Battlefield these days, dlc are meaningless, mostly cosmetics or level upgrade, and never gatekeep its contents

And now every Battlefield is basically complete edition with no additional dlc to buy (BF4 Premium, BF1 Revolution, BFV Definitive Edition)

[obsidian tide]

DirectX 12.0 is not supported on those things.

[obsidian tide]

No. It makes that faster and less of a hassle.

[pure wadi]

one more question, can I party up with Playstation and Xbox players as a PC player and queue up games together?

[sour isle]

only crossplay game is 2042

unfortunately

[pure wadi]

that's the one I have. how would u add someone on a console to your party as a PC player tho?

or does both use EA app friends list?

[sour isle]

on the social tab, you need their EA

[opal salmon]

yeah i figure, to reiterate this cafe is dumb to preinstall that game but still has the damn Windows 8, i should travel to South Korea where they probably have Windows 12 already for their net cafe

[hasty shuttle]

you should. The net cafe there is insane i travel there for business and since i barely bring gaming laptop, its dirtcheap to just go there and play games

They are called PC Bang in south korea

[lilac dust]

Nah GTA 6 will be delayed to fall

But then yeah we probably still won't see BF6 till after that anyway lol

[opal salmon]

i hope i meet those Korean gamer girls from those vlogs on youtube 😍

[opal salmon]

GTA 6 will comes first, mark my words

[lilac dust]

Ok you might be right JD

[sour isle]

simp

[opal salmon]

people watch gamer girls on twitch, at least this one i can awkwardly talk to them irl

(In broken Korean)

Or english

[sour isle]

still a simp. there plenty of reason not to say what you said but you said it anyway

[opal salmon]

ok 👍

[hasty shuttle]

every gamer girl who go there are recluse and shy. so good luck hanging out with any of them

[mighty holly]

kek

[last oar]

Blasco mastery ✔️

Im the counter sniper headhunter that loves bunched up idle enemy "marksmen"

I got tricks

[pure wadi]

does 2042 have randomized maps? I wanna play all the maps evenly not just the ones the community likes the most

[vital quail]

Normal matchmaking is random but portal servers can be customized

[acoustic seal]

there's been suspicion for a while that the map rotation in matchmaking is broken and only plays a few maps commonly

[last oar]

Conquest 64 mixes it up good

[slender swallow]

It sure feels like it. The past few days I feel like I haven't played anything else but Redacted and Arica Harbor

[gloomy wyvern]

I wonder what it was like for them on the ground to just watch me fly my helicopter backwards around the objective and avoid every single RPG that was thrown at me

Honestly they should just give me my hind back

I feel like when they got rid of the condor and the hind it introduced this era of no teamwork

[deft minnow]

guys why does bf42 use 100% of my cpu i locked online and i found people with way better cpu's having the same problem

if anyone having or had the same problem and fixed it please help me

Note: I used the notepad thingy, and it didn't get fixed

[remote kiln]

what is your processor

[quaint niche]

Did they fix secure boot shit? Or is it still same?

[remote kiln]

still required

[dusk gulch]

What’s the difference between the Wrapped and 6KU Suppressors?

The 6KU says it increases the Range compared to the Wrapped but reduces the Firepower?

wtf DICE?

[remote kiln]

it's not what you're thinking

the wrapped suppressors have less damage at range because they have a lower range that you are exposed on the minimap

[dusk gulch]

And then the 6KU does what?
It says it reduces Range?

[remote kiln]

lower damage at range, faster rof

[zealous loom]

I don't think it's going to go away, seems they did it for a reason

Prob just gonna have to turn it on, BF6 might be the same way

[dusk gulch]

Doesn’t say anything about increased rpm

[remote kiln]

the descriptions are just bad, that's what firepower means

[dusk gulch]

No there’s a counter for rpm and it doesn’t go up

[remote kiln]

which is why the heavy suppressor is actually preferential in some situations for high ROF weapons because the lower rof compensates for being easier to control

[dusk gulch]

The descriptions are ass though

[remote kiln]

the stats in this game have not worked properly since release do not trust their accuracy for attachments

use sorrows spreadsheet or another source

[dusk gulch]

Can you link?

For that spreadsheet, I mean

[remote kiln]

I don't have it on hand, search around you'll find it eventually

[dusk gulch]

Got it
Thanks!

[pure wadi]

is 2042's population big enough to be able to get a game quickly 24/7 in any game mode?

[vital quail]

depends on the region and time of day

[dusk gulch]

Yeah
Ehhh
Sometimes around noon EST the servers have a bunch of bots

If it’s on sale for under $10, just get it

[pure wadi]

ty

do the bots say "AI" or something or do they try to pretend to be real players? @dusk gulch

[dusk gulch]

They are clearly identified as AI
And also suck harder than Fortnite squeakers

[deft minnow]

i5 12f

[remote kiln]

full model

[deft minnow]

and when the game was released i didn't have any problem

[remote kiln]

that was 4 years ago, the games changed a lot since then

[deft minnow]

still it should run just fine

i saw people having the same issue as me

[toxic niche]

why the game crashes after i get killed

[remote kiln]

.. the processor dude what is it

[deft minnow]

it's i5 12f

[remote kiln]

the full model

[deft minnow]

yeah

[remote kiln]

that's not the full model...

[deft minnow]

does it even matter ?

[remote kiln]

yes it does..

[deft minnow]

but not to the point where my cpu has to go to 100%

[remote kiln]

that's why I'm asking you which one it is..

[vital quail]

[deft minnow]

it's i5-12400 f

and it should run just fine

[remote kiln]

6 core with 12 threads if you're playing 128 player servers you won't be able to run the game in a stable manner

stick to 64

[deft minnow]

it was even going 60 to 70 in the menu

i looked it up on YT and people were saying it's the ancint engine that they use

[remote kiln]

no lol

frostbite is a state of the art engine don't believe everything you read online

[deft minnow]

then why the heck my cpu struggles

keep in mind i run bf5 on ultra

and no problem nothing

[remote kiln]

because it's 12 threads my guy and you're playing gamemodes which will use 90% core allocations on even 16 thread machines

stick to 64 players

[deft minnow]

ight

still ancint engine

[remote kiln]

[last oar]

Whats good

[pure wadi]

is it a significant disadvantage if I don't use the specialists preferred weapon type?

like if I use an assault rifle instead of an SMG on the healer syringe lady for example

[red viper]

no

[lavish elk]

No. But to clarify, specialists preferred weapons have buffs. Like assault classes get 3 more magazines if using an assault rifle. Hope this help!

?

[frigid matrix]

No

[acoustic seal]

use pbsetup for bf4 https://www.evenbalance.com/pbsetup.php > restart computer > check task manager and make sure PnkBstrA.exe is running or else you did something wrong in the first two steps

you may need to right click > run as admin for pbsetup

[willow roost]

any workaround for the secure boot BS

[acoustic seal]

uninstall 2042 🤷‍♂️

[willow roost]

lol probably the way to go,not touching BIOS for an EA game

didnt know if there was a way to "spoof" it into thinking it was on

[red viper]

BIOS is not that scary 😭

[willow roost]

not changing settings for one game 😭

[red viper]

dude

[acoustic seal]

you can turn on CSM to make it think your board isnt tpm/secure boot capable but that comes with a whole list of side effects and probably will stop you from booting if you're on win11 for some reason

[red viper]

it's literally one restart

[willow roost]

yh im on win11

[willow roost]

of potentially bricking my PC

[red viper]

???

just don't touch anything you're not supposed to

[willow roost]

there are known issues with CSM and WIN11 like vfc referenced

[acoustic seal]

CSM is if you really don't want to turn on secure boot for some reason

[willow roost]

just waiting on them to rollback that feature so i can play again 😢

[red viper]

yeah CSM doesn't play well on Win 11

idk man just look up how to turn on secure boot in your BIOS

it's really not that hard lol

[pure wadi]

is there any assault rifles or SMGs that are considered OP in 2042? currently

[vital quail]

Ak5c for AR and pp29 for SMG imo

[merry heart]

Bronies detected

[pure wadi]

searched up and down my collection tab for underbarrel shotgun and i dont see it, i need underbarrel shotgun kills to unlock the ak5c

[gilded lava]

Not really

[vital quail]

its the masterkey attachment on some guns, it would be easiest to get on the m5a3 or ak24

its one of the later attachments unfortunately but you can play against bots in solo/co-op play to unlock attachments

[pure wadi]

thx

[pure wadi]

if u leave a match mid game all the kills u got in that match still count towards whatever guns/attachments u were working towards right?

[vital quail]

yes they should but solo/co-op can be buggy so to be safe i would use the gun or attachment at least once before leaving

hey, maybe one of you can help me, for a few days now I've been having trouble joining a match in BF 2042. No matter what I choose: Conquest, Breakthrough, Domination, Portal, it searches for a match for about 45 seconds and then throws up a message about the search time being too long.

[finite egret]

hey @crystal adder got the same problem here (on PS5, UE) for 2 days.. the only workaround i've found is to close the game and relaunch. Not saying it works every time, but it finds games session on the second attempt usualy (i supsect connexion issues). Hope it helps ✌️

[crystal adder]

let's try, maybe it will work, thanks

[crystal adder]

@finite egret its works, thx

[lament plank]

is it normal to be getting matchmaking timeouts at this time of day?

[chilly jacinth]

Nope

[obsidian tide]

Is crossplay turned off?

[obsidian tide]

Supposedly, Labs already mandates it as well. The next Battlefield game may ship with it given that.

2042 was the most recent released product to do that on, so it also got that.

[indigo ruin]

Does anyone here know what the “range” stat does for weapons???

[obsidian tide]

Possibly range in meters before damage falloff kicks in.

[uneven trellis]

Hey everyone just curios if people can still sign up for the beta? Or is it closed for now

[white kernel]

you can apply to the umm... labs I guess it's called? which you can choose which IPs you're interested in being asked to help evaluate

don't think there's been a dedicated Battlefield application

there's no gurantee you'll be picked of course

I just installed 2042 via steam the other day and have been having a lot of trouble logging in past the opening satellite scene.. additionally, the game is now linked to an EA profile i did not make but has some of my info and now I cant link it to my actual EA account... can anyone help or point me int the right direction please and thank you kindly.

[white kernel]

you can view all your EA nicks (EA calls them personas) at https://myaccount.ea.com/am/ui/account-information

It can be different for every game because: sometimes your 1st pick might be taken, EA doesn't know how to associate people to names correctly, some games have character limits

[lean dew]

using the xce bar with silencer, subsonic ammo and a 4x scope in conquest ascension is funny as hell

[split oyster]

what is this securboot thing

how do i overpass this

[pine roost]

extra security

just need to turn it on in bios

super easy

[white kernel]

barely an inconvenience

[fickle wharf]

its a nothing burger

[mellow wave]

this game is kinda dead no?? when is the new one coming out

[white kernel]

never

they're switching back to battlefront after the recent huge steam surge on that

[mellow wave]

lmao as if

[young wharf]

I'm gonna be honest. Secure boot requirement outrage seems oddly high. I can see some people being mad, but not as many as we are seeing.

[white kernel]

well there's a couple reasons for ppl to want it off... mostly ppl using pirated stuff I believe but the # of complaints does seem high yeah

[young wharf]

even with the pirating its high

I honestly think most complaining don't even understand what secure boot is or does and just see outrage against something

Also did they change how revives work or is that just for ascension?

[white kernel]

that sounds like typical 'gaming community' now days

they like to gang up to feel special

[strong sphinx]

Especially because you need secure boot for windows 11 and windows 10 support ends this year. Granted most people probably don't want to switch for as long as possible

[young wharf]

yup. Either toxic negativity or toxic positivity.

[young wharf]

I have windows 11. I've had it for a few years too. Compared to Windows 10, espsically now, its not that bad of a switch. Just takes some getting used to is all.

[white kernel]

it's much better than previous OSes for gaming

MS actually put some effort into making older games run compared to 7

[strong sphinx]

I just built a new pc recently and switched to 11 and honestly have not had any complaints. Except ads in the start menu, that's annoying

[white kernel]

those can be disabled

[young wharf]

yeah. I've noticed old stuff runs much smoother than 10 did.

[vocal tusk]

2042 is at a stage of its life where there isnt a lot of new things to make players come back. Putting another blocker (Secure boot) in the way of a returning player was always going to cause this reaction. Especially when 2042 is such an easy target.

[strong sphinx]

Do you think people will complain about the new game requiring it? Or because it is new they will just suck it up and enable it?

[white kernel]

secure boot is needed for a lot of games now days... there's not really much legitimate reason to have it off anymore

[young wharf]

Most people complaining about secure boot play bf4 and bf1

[white kernel]

they're just raging to rage

[young wharf]

2042 will always be the hated game no matter what

it is the Halo 5 of battlefield

[white kernel]

hey now that's being a little too mean

[vocal tusk]

No they wont care, cos most people will want to play it

[young wharf]

Halo 5 was good. Story was awful, but the rest was pretty good especially as time went on

[white kernel]

I dunno... ppl always praised halo but honestly I found it not much different from any other shooter of its time

least halo 1/2 & then MS realised it didn't have a market on PC cause it wasn't that different & stopped until MMC came out

[strong sphinx]

Halo was the best when it was in it's prime. That might be nostalgia talking though.

[white kernel]

maybe.... I like the art style but the game play never felt special

finshed halo but couldn't get into 2 or 4 when it finally hit PC

[obsidian tide]

Hardcore Rush and Hazard Zone Revive Crawling was put in Ascension specifically.

[young wharf]

awww

[obsidian tide]

Imagine Quake, but slower and floatier.

[young wharf]

I like it the crawl

[obsidian tide]

Halo worked because it was the main selling point for Xbox consoles, aside from Gears of War.

It would also be how Xbox Live was introduced, and with it, the foundation for modern console multiplayer lobbies. And COD and Battlefield ones. COD especially.

The 343 titles, though....

Hi, are there any boosting groups for 2042 hazard zone?

[lean mason]

Gotta imagine it's before the EA earnings call on July 29th

[barren ore]

Please make the current 64 player Conquest Ascension mode a permanent mode option for matchmaking. I love it

[pale lion]

Seconded, make those sweaty nightbird mains earn their vehicles

[chilly jacinth]

Once they get one they can just keep spawning them anyways

Not that they will die in em in the firts place though

[faint stag]

Crossplay on or off it puts me in empty lobbies. Why

Even server browsers almostc completely empty

[obsidian tide]

Server browser is exclusively for Portal. All standard modes not part of it rely on matchmaking.

[faint stag]

Yeah as I said, it puts me in empty lobbies

Is this game dead, i don't get it

[vital quail]

Its early morning on a Tuesday in NA

[faint stag]

Oh, so it is dead essentially. Tragic

I'd expect it to still have enough to get me a lobby

You can’t buy bundles to get weapons and attachments you need to earn them

Just play the game and complete challenges for those weapons, pve is best way to unlock them

This might be unorthodox, but how about a RWBY Collab? Think about it: You have Crescent Rose (a sniper rifle doubling as a scythe), Gamble Shroud (a pistol doubling as a sword), and Magnhild (a grenade launcher doubling as a hammer), just to name a few weapons the developers could potentially play with.

If anyone on the dev team is reading this, PLS, I can't stress this enough, report to Viz Media and/or Kerry Shawcross immediately if this interests you in any way.

Spot everything you see

On PC just spam q on what you think may or may not be an enemy no matter how far away a vehicle or person is

You can get easy assists by doing that because people will be more likely to shoot at something if it has a red symbol above them

[obsidian tide]

Bonus points if you do it as Paik or Rao. It counts towards character progression for at least one of them.

[karmic oasis]

Did you get the Citadel Bundle refund before now, or is this new?

There's also alot of tension with the American and swedish studios

Which honestly does not surprise me

[obsidian tide]

Was probably a thing throughout prior games as well.

[karmic egret]

I just hope the devs go on strike to force a game delay

Because I'm willing to take a year long delay just to have a good game

[obsidian tide]

Problem: That is not what happened to most Battlefield games. Certainly not 2042 when it needed it.

[upbeat sequoia]

I need 1 teammate for hazard zone

[acoustic seal]

the game was already delayed a year lol, they're releasing before EA's FY2026 starts in march or a few studios are going to magically disappear

[obsidian tide]

I have a theory behind the surprise 300 BFC refund.

The Gilded Promise AM40 skin.

Prior to current week, it was available as a standalone skin in the Store. Now that it is tied to a Timed Ribbon award, any who purchased it permanently before this week got refunded for part of or all of it.

[urban pawn]

Due to an issue with the "Spectre" skin for the XFAD-4 Draugr that was recently added in the Mass Effect bundles, we have disabled it. The skin will temporarily be removed from the Scoped & Dropped and Citadel bundles. Players who have purchased the skin will receive a 300 BFC refund at a later date.

Once the issues with the skin have been resolved we'll bring it back to the store as a free purchase for a limited time within the in-game store.

[obsidian tide]

I thought that, too, but purchased the 2,700 BFC bundle without it and claimed the skin for free. I do not yet know if this refund is the same one, or a new one.

A small balance pass on the XFAD-4 Draugr is now live ahead of further changes to aircraft in a future update on Battlefield 2042.

⚫️HE primary weapon blast damage lowered 20 to 18
⚫️JDAM bomb reload has been increased 20- to 25
⚫️Incendiary bomb reload has been increased from 30 to 35
⚫️Incendiary bomb max damage radius has been lowered from 8 to 4
⚫️Incendiary bomb general blast damage radius has been lowered from 20 to 8

The changes to blast radius of the incendiary bomb is to target the sudden initial damage that players would take from the explosion itself. Note: The burning radius will remain unaffected.

We'll continue to monitor feedback around these changes.

This will likely the the last battlefield for a long time. This kind of studio rot needs a while to die out. Many people will need to leave/be fired for stuff like this to change.

Just got 2042 and my mouse ain’t working pc anyone know how to fix it? Tried reinstalling, messing with files, update drivers

[karmic egret]

Im not allowed to register :c

Because I live in Australia

But it doesn't matter because after reading these articles, I'm not confident about the next game

Though yet again BF1 was in alpha by this time of the year and the leaked footage from labs is pretty good, i have a sneaking suspicion that EA is doing a targeted campaign of allowing certain leaks to go through and DMCAing other they deem undesirable

Just to see if they can rope people into pre-ordering

[radiant lynx]

Can we keep 64v64 Breakthrough?

[clear jolt]

Is your mouse wired or wireless

[stone ledge]

It’s wired @clear jolt

[clear jolt]

Did you unplug and replug it

?

[stone ledge]

@clear jolt no I don’t but I tried to multiple times cause it’s not working in game. My mouse works in the menu and settings but in game it’s not working I can’t look around

[clear jolt]

Maybe check your in game controls they could be switched around

[stone ledge]

Already have everything looks good

[clear jolt]

Huh well I am out of advice sorry

I am not a tech person

[white kernel]

when unplugging & repluggin make sure you change the usb slot it's plugged back into

[sullen yarrow]

Hey all just got the game saw a grandpa playing sniper got me hyped is the game still alive or ?

[white kernel]

if you just bought the game... try it & see

[sullen yarrow]

Downloading just wanted to ask

[obsidian tide]

Sometimes.

[willow dawn]

On renewal, if im on the Russian team, I use the character w the rocket launcher where u can control the rocket, I use the landmines, the DXR-1 sniper as my primary and an smg as my secondary and I've got to say, it is VERY effective towards players who swarm the boarder, and snipers who can the building w the plants.

[gilded lava]

it's alive

[obsidian tide]

Lis has the TV-Guided Missile, or TGM.

drone shock function back?

[vocal tusk]

If you mean caspers drone, it has been able to destroy gadgets for a few months now

[proud kindle]

wow why dice removed this feature in the past?

[vocal tusk]

It was removed to rebalance. In the past it affected vehicles and gadgets. Disrupting both. Now it destroys gadgets, and doesnt affect vehicles at all

[remote kiln]

^

[proud kindle]

Nice thank you.

[remote kiln]

there is a more well secondary reason aswell in that when they affected vehicles they werent as powerful as they are now back then, so it became a outsized impact once they were in a decent state

[proud kindle]

What is the 300 free bf coin?

[vocal tusk]

TLDR; A bundle released 2 weeks ago had an issue where 1 skin from it had to be disabled. That skin was disabled, and to compensate, they are giving all players 300 coins, and the skin for free

See #direct-communication for more info

[obsidian tide]

Or rather, Did give the skin for free. Its Free to Claim period was also affected by the time limit on the Mass Effect Bundles.

And that time is up.

There were only 5-6 days to claim it for free.

[vivid rune]

Oh dear battlefield I pray to you let us have a double xp weekend ♥️

[gilded lava]

We had 2x XP weekend last month I think

[vivid rune]

But its a new month😭

[keen ridge]

It has now been four years since inception, isn't it time #Dice removed the points cap for a lot of servers on Portal, no offence to console players but I am fed up of having to endure bunny hopping auto aimers just to rank up the specialists, gear and weapons, if I turn off cross play the chances of a full server are next to zero.

[stoic fog]

my Battlefield 2042 wont open . Something about secureboot

[vocal tusk]

Enable secure boot in your motherboard bios

[obsidian tide]

Hello. If you feel you may not be able to do this on your own, some help and guidance can be provided.

Also, what GPU do you have, in case it is a factor in things that need to be done prior to enabling it?

heres a step by step, worked for me. Had to do the mode:setup first, then mode:user one. Just depends on what state yours is in currently

Thank you battlefielf gods for double xp weekend♥️🫡

I am the onlt one having problem on ps 4 ?

extremly laggy , doesstn render anything

[odd needle]

anyone wanna play with me im in a vc

[pearl ridge]

Anyone who develops a game without a server browser clearly never tried to matchmake outside of America or Europe

[vivid rune]

Time to upgrade no really do it

[magic elk]

I want someone to help me with a problem I have with the game that happened to me after the last update and I don’t know how to solve it yet

[dusk gulch]

America is the only country that matters 🇺🇸
/s

[last oar]

The game has a server browser

[pearl ridge]

Yeah in fucking portal

Fuck portal

[last oar]

Yes but it is for all eras and game modes

[pearl ridge]

Big whoop, that doesn’t excuse not having it for the actual core game

[last oar]

That is the core game server browser

You can find oceanic games there. Custom games, etc

[brittle wind]

I find it funny how EA updated their TOS after stop killing games reached to 1M signatures

[obsidian tide]

Which one?

[obsidian tide]

Curious. How was it updated?

[last oar]

Wdym "stop killing games"

[remote kiln]

there was no update.. the last update was on the 28th of February

[obsidian tide]

Recent EA App update from just before the poll reached its EU Parliament signature goal surprised anyone opening it with a prompt to accept an updated Terms of Service. That user presumes it was not a coincidence.

[sharp terrace]

And now the draugr is more worthless than ever

Draugr hasn't been useless ever

Literal skill issue

Also I dont understand the fact that you can change epoque on the classes , how does it work ? I only see 2042 classes

and correct me if I'm wrong but I only see bots in game

[obsidian tide]

It applies exclusively for Battlefield Portal game modes.

View them from the Collection, Era tab as well.

In portal only

Hope this game is good

[white kernel]

the achievement stats for 2042 on Steam are... weird. over 200,000 reviews... which should mean at least 8 million copies sold... and yet only 22% have the 'win 42 rounds across all game modes'

[chilly jacinth]

From 200k to 8mil

That's one massive jump

[white kernel]

yep

the average... and it can vary a lot... is something like 40 copies sold for 1 review

amazing how that works huh?

https://newsletter.gamediscover.co/p/steam-sales-estimates-why-game-popularity though they're not the original survey... they seem to be updating on a 'frequent' basis

[chilly jacinth]

It's just a bunch of assumptions

Like why even treat this as any sort of credible source

[white kernel]

why treat you as credible 😄

[mystic holly]

What is the reason for the inexplicable lack of hundreds of people? The total number of deaths of all the people in our camp does not reach the highest number of deaths in the camp. Why did it suddenly fail? Is the inexplicable lack of hundreds people's numbers caused by a hack or a game bug?

I hope that the problem can be found and fixed as soon as possible. It has happened more than once or twice, and I have lost unexpectedly.

Is it true that your studio's focus is on Battlefield 6, so you don't care about 2042? It's hard to evaluate.

[obsidian tide]

Where, exactly, is this lack seen?

[obsidian tide]

During a match? Or compared to prior times the game was played?

[mystic holly]

In the tab of the battle record panel, our faction sometimes inexplicably loses hundreds of people, and inexplicably ends the game with 0-80 people.

And the total number of deaths in our camp is not that much, and there is no countdown time for the game, so we lost the game with hundreds of people.

I get very angry when I play.

[mystic holly]

0-800

[obsidian tide]

Oh, I see.

In some matches, the spawn Ticket count suddenly drops for no apparent reason, with a sudden match end following it in spite of few kills in the feed.

Question: Is your kill feed setting set to show All Kills, not just Squad and Nearby?

This may offer a clue the next time it happens.

[rugged citrus]

Capturing sectors removes 10 tickets from the enemy team

I had a match today where US Marines Command had 12 tickets left and Russian Ground Forces Command had all sectors with 9 tickets but USMC captured Bravo sector on Manifest which removed 10 tickets from RGFC essentially putting them to zero tickets and turning the match around

We would've lost if this feature wasn't present

I like it tbh it puts more emphasis on defending sectors

The 10 ticket drain per capture really adds up

@mystic holly

[pearl ridge]

Why they never took c4 away from assault is beyond me

[last oar]

Because Assault is pretty useless as is

[pearl ridge]

If that was the case we wouldn’t have so many of the fuckers

[last oar]

You failed to consider the average iQ of the battlefield casual

why i can't find Battlefield option on arcsivr.com?

the play test avaliable is only just EA sports and Apex,not any Battlefield labs..

is there anyone can help me?

[obsidian tide]

What even is that site?

[pine roost]

The playtesting site url if I recall

Its got a funny name

I know any surveys you take part in across any ea things use it

[fickle wharf]

the testing is invite only and its not listed

[last oar]

Cause im baddddddd company

I won't denyyt

[acoustic seal]

the majority of owners bought it at launch and then never played again

remember, this game went from 100k concurrent on launch day to 3k in just 2-3 months

and then the rest of the sales beyond that are redditors deluding themselves and each other into thinking the game is "fixed" the same way bf4 was

[crimson onyx]

anyone know why my game just crashes out of nowhere like the game freezes and then just closes

[vocal tusk]

Are you using an AMD Radeon card?

[crimson onyx]

yes

[vocal tusk]

You'll need to use a driver from before April

[crimson onyx]

how do i do that?

[vocal tusk]

Their last 5 drivers all crash with frostbite engine games.

Download a driver released before May, then use DDU to remove your current one and install the one you downloaded

[crimson onyx]

yeah sorry but English please lmao

[obsidian tide]

Which AMD card is it?

[crimson onyx]

AMD Radeon RX 6650XT (Saphire Pulse)

[obsidian tide]

https://www.amd.com/en/support/download/drivers.html
Search for the model in this page. Under its specific drivers page, Go to Previous Drivers. That will be where the older versions, e.g. 25.3.1 and older, will be located. Bookmark the appropriate pages if you like.

DDU is Display Driver Uninstaller, by WagnardSoft. It is referred to as a better or more effective way of truly uninstalling and cleaning up the presence of drivers from a system, which is sometimes needed.
https://www.wagnardsoft.com/display-driver-uninstaller-ddu-

[crimson onyx]

which one is the good one i need

[obsidian tide]

Version 25.3.1 or earlier.

[crimson onyx]

do use the wagnard to uninstall

[obsidian tide]

That's the intent. Just be cautious as usual with first-time or unfamiliar procedures.

[crimson onyx]

do i have to? and if so do i used clean and restart?

[vocal tusk]

You have to, and yes. Do clean and restart. Once restarted, install the other driver.

Guys I have huge fps drops. 5060 ti 16, 32 ram, i7 12700kf ı changed setting to low from ultra but there was huge fps drops. What should I do ??

[acoustic seal]

there is none

it was agonized over for 2.5 years after the game launched and there is simply no fixing it without dice intervention

[arctic grove]

Secure boot is really annoying

[brittle wind]

LMAO what? Mackay is a better anti tank than engineers. Grapple on top of the tank, drop 2 C4s, easy.

I rarely play as anything but Mackay and Zain, assault kit and operators are just too strong.

[last oar]

Ok ok Mackay is top versatile specialist ok ok

[pine roost]

Zain is just easy kills and insane momentum

Irish is good for breakthru, and if you can get a coordinated squad of engineers, angel can really good for taking out vehicles with his loadout drop
