battlefield-2042

[dark bone]

it is noon on a monday

[pastel pagoda]

i cant even get in the game. i have an error code saying my connection is messed up.. but it isnt lol

[obsidian tide]

Message Request with provided screenshot. Maybe the anticheat hates something on your PC.

[lilac dust]

The fact it's as populated as it is on a Monday afternoon with zero warning this was happening Is pretty impressive lol. I'm getting full games on PS5 with crossplay OFF

[tepid dove]

It's so good bro

[obsidian tide]

Yes, it is Iwo Jima 2042.

[tepid dove]

Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't this the only map in all out warfare to feature boats? I haven't played for a while

[lilac dust]

Correct

[granite tinsel]

I like battlefield and cod overall I prefer battlefield ...on battlefield fiels I seem to struggle with cross hair ...on cod you can have a center dot instead is it possible for them to give us that option it would be appreciated by lots of people....keep up the good work guys

[obsidian tide]

It has Boats other than the hovercraft to drive? I do not believe this at this moment.

[civic python]

"30 exclusive rewards for Battlefield 6 spread across 6 Tiers that will be available at launch. Earn these exclusive Battlefield 6 rewards at Tier 8, 19, 30, 40, 49, and 60 of the Free Battlepass!"

[tepid dove]

Your username tells me that you are in fact the most qualified person to ask about such a thing

[civic python]

Gotta play it for BF6 at least

[tepid dove]

Yes there's RHIBs you can use, plus MAVs

[lilac dust]

Yep just a copy and paste of noshar canals really

[obsidian tide]

Oh, MAVs, sure. That was not the main concern.

[lilac dust]

Lol. My previous name was asking for it in 2042. It sort of came true finally I guess lmao

[karmic oasis]

they added more Battlefield Friends stuff lmao

[tepid dove]

Bro that player card killed me

[devout forge]

but where's my ability to drive an aircraft carrier straight into the shores of Wake Island?

[obsidian tide]

They also have a Father Winter Boris playercard, acknowledging the universally hated Christmas skin.

[cold iris]

Anyone know if I play 2042 on Xbox account if I can redeem the pass rewards for bf6 on steam if it's all linked to the same ea account

[tepid dove]

I'll do you one better

Why isn't there a battle ship stuck on a windmill which can be blown up to let it crash into a beach

[wary marlin]

Can you restart the client quickly, we are testing something.

[cold iris]

At1c fellow shaman enjoyer do you possess this knowledge

[wary marlin]

Should work yes.

[tepid dove]

I think so

[cold iris]

The earthmother thanks you

[stiff dew]

Will do this too

[silver heath]

I think the lynx is bugged for me

[lilac dust]

Hey DICE. Can you guys section of the water area of iwo jima and give us a lil boat battle map? 🤣

[silver heath]

I played the bf6 beta but i still don’t have it unlocked

[tardy laurel]

I also liked how they added most portal maps to solo conquest and breakthrough modes

[lilac dust]

Did you play yesterday?

[tepid dove]

Give me Naval Strike 2.0

[silver heath]

Yea

[obsidian tide]

Some mitigation is being tested for some users. Provide EA Username and restart client a few times if the product manager tells you to. I am not the product manager. aTiC is.

[arctic grove]

ngl the "xp earned" mission slowly increasing every point you get is scummy af

[tepid dove]

That's how it always worked with the battle passes

[arctic grove]

I haven't done a single battle pass in 2042

[keen ridge]

Battlefield 6 does offer cross‑progression. All of your progress—including unlocks, weapon progression, cosmetics, and player stats—is tied to your EA Account and carried across platforms provided they're all linked to that same account.

[silver heath]

Im on Xbox so ig id just keep restarting my game until it unlocks right?

[marble wave]

How is Iwo Jima?

[arctic grove]

and honestly if they go this route with bf6 I ain't buying shit

[wheat shadow]

ok

[cold iris]

Sweet just didn't wanna do the pass it it didn't work, thanks

[wary marlin]

we are looking at that at the moment

[silver heath]

Ah ok

[vivid rune]

Love it 😂

[lilac dust]

It's pretty epic on breakthrough with a whopping 7 sectors

[silver heath]

Really fun

[arctic grove]

yo, you guys planning to do like cod for the bf6 battle passes or the way it worked with 2042 ?

[marble wave]

Sick. Always loved that map. Such a sweet surprise

[tepid dove]

I think it's to stop people grinding too much in one go, compel them to keep coming back

[compact plaza]

Im in a match rn its been 30 mins

[obsidian tide]

That mitigation may only apply for affected PC users, but listen and wait for if the Product Manager comments on affected consoles.

[scarlet frigate]

I want play battlefield 6 🙄

[shell ermine]

Oh so this Iwo Jima is the BFV map reimagined

[arctic grove]

does it ever reset or keeps increasing forever ?

[wet atlas]

someone come squad up with me and the homie. We are in BF6 Squad 6 (NA Servers)

[obsidian tide]

Or compel them to inevitably pay more to get it over with. As was seen in prior seasons.

[wheat shadow]

Iwo Jima seems very nice. Two wildcats plus the AA turrets seems a bit unfair. Aircraft kinda struggling to stay up against the jaws of my wildcat and whatever the other AA were doing 😄

[marble wave]

I'm excited to play it tonight

[wheat shadow]

it's still true even if you pay

[tepid dove]

Bro I hadn't checked the map so when they were getting E I was like "Ah, shit. GG"
And then F appears and I'm like "Oh, neat"
And then when they get THAT I'm like "Ah shit"

And then G introduced itself

[reef oar]

folks what are names of bf3 bc2 portal servers? im really interested in

[obsidian tide]

Truly a Rising Storm 2: Vietnam Territories map level of gameplay length.

[wheat shadow]

it's only 60 tiers. Around here this has been normal for 100 tier season passes, and many of us ground it all the way up to unlock the T1 badge for each season. Do the weekly missions, they will help you out a ton because they reward pass points, not xp.

[marble wave]

That gas mask skin looks sick for BF6. Def going to grind that out.

[wheat shadow]

you'd probably get like half of the pass done just by doing all of the weekly missions without counting any XP

[arctic grove]

yeah but like it's still grindy af to me compared to the finals or cod so I'm just not gonna bother if I have to play 24/7 just to finish it, glad people are happy with it though

[tepid dove]

Bro I thought I was playing Arma I was like "HOW BIG IS THIS ISLAND"

[arctic grove]

this is the chinese engineer and i think there are other rewards with it

[obsidian tide]

Now if only the Original, Larger Breakaway layouts returned...

[wheat shadow]

I'd expect to be done with it in under 2 weeks 🤷‍♂️

[stable goblet]

I’m in bf2042 right now and it says the lynx is unlocked by playing the bf6 beta. Why don’t I have it? I played the beta a lot

[arctic grove]

yeah same, I've put 36 hours in the beta didn't get it

[wheat shadow]

#battlefield-2042 message

[sinful scaffold]

chiming in here that I also played the BF6 beta (both weekends) and 2042 on the same account, and despite having played several games of 2042 and restarting my game several times, the Lynx is still locked. (my EA username is nerdpersonthing, if it matters.)

appreciate you poking the team about it for us 🙏

[stable goblet]

Strange. I was even in early access lol

[slate umbra]

CHAT WHAT GOING ON IN 2042

[arctic grove]

same, got early access and all and nothing

[wheat shadow]

Dice are investigating the Lynx not unlocking

[shell ermine]

So yeah this is just the BFV map with B in a slightly different location.

No wonders it's actually good then.

[sinful scaffold]

I had early access and I was an alpha tester. still no Lynx here either lol

[knotty trout]

Who is on this new update? Add doubleohh7 to squad up. Need comms comms comms.

[obsidian tide]

Iwo Jima.

[spiral mason]

how u like Jima map

[arctic grove]

isnt it like bf5 maps but modern times ?

[wheat shadow]

I thought it was interesting that there are voice lines for the Iwo Jima intro, I wonder if this was planned months/years ago or if they contracted out the original voice actors to do one more line 🙂

[spiral mason]

seems like balance is so bad on Jima 3 rounds all 3x 1 team got all flags

[obsidian tide]

Yes, it is a 2042 version of it.
Mount Suribachi erupted, and Sulis was constructing a bunker and tunnel complex at the same time.

[spiral mason]

volcano looks sick but balce is bad

[analog void]

Is the Lynx locked for anyone else that played the beta? It says that's the only criteria.

[opaque fox]

It is only u mu ha ha ha ha

Jk

[obsidian tide]

Known issue right now.

[analog void]

ok, thanks

[normal stag]

is everyone bad or is everyone bots?

[analog void]

wdym bad?

[shell ermine]

It is the BFV Iwo Jima.

Just on fire with Flag B in a slightly different spot.

[arctic grove]

is it normal ea play rewards gave me the preorder bonuses and tons of skins ? Do I keep those when it expires ?

[normal stag]

like they play very very bad 0 awereness

[analog void]

that's just the average bf player

zero situational awareness

[obsidian tide]

Where exactly?

Which skins and bonuses?

[normal stag]

so theres no bots in game?

[dark bone]

itll say AI after a name if its a bot

[obsidian tide]

Oh, there are, but they are easy to spot. They appear as generic infantry, all use a certain naming scheme, and have [AI] at the end of their names.

[arctic grove]

nah I'm dumb it's not preorder bonuses but I did get like a casper skin or whatever and tons of other rewards, I just wonder if when ea play expires I will lose those

i assume yes

[obsidian tide]

The 2042 Ultimate Edition pre-order?

[normal stag]

oh so most people try to impersonate them i see 😄

[arctic grove]

I got the robot dog skin and midnight ultimate bundle not preorder bonuses

and ea play member rewards

i didn't have those at first

[cobalt sonnet]

hey guys, uhm why does my battefield 6 and 1 crash

[compact plaza]

First breakthrough game on the new map and dropped 80-24 with like 40 res

[astral radish]

Is map good?

[compact plaza]

2nd last points are FAT CHOKE POINTS

[obsidian tide]

Ultimate Edition owners apparently get them.

[orchid prism]

yes

[arctic grove]

well i guess ea play gives that, i wonder how it works when it expires, I guess they just vanish lol

[compact plaza]

The map is really damn good on breakthrough

[orchid prism]

this is true

iwo jima has always been a good breakthrough map imo

[obsidian tide]

Curious how the EA Play or EA Play Pro membership somehow led to unlocking Ultimate Edition content on a whim. It does not do that usually.

Maybe the poking is leading to something being tried to "clear" the backend of anything that should have—or maybe should not have been a valid account unlock for your specific case—but wasn't gotten before now, if it means getting the Lynx credited to the account.

[plucky estuary]

anyone missing their Lynx and have a fix yet?

[obsidian tide]

Known issue as of currently.

[wet atlas]

someone come squad up with me and the homie. We are in BF6 Squad 6 (NA Servers)

[quasi wasp]

@latent goblet can i dm you

[candid nova]

lol came back to 2042 and cant even get in a game

[karmic oasis]

ok, i know this Iwo Jima map is from BFv, but still is an amazing looking map with lot of personality

this is what i'm talking aobut

[grave pelican]

The free pass is a total banger, thank you devs

[karmic oasis]

this is better than the awful souless launch maps

[latent crystal]

The one battlefield I didn't buy and I see they dropped this update, haha. I don't really wanna drop full price on this knowing I'm gonna hop on BF6 in 2 months though sadge

[dark bone]

the lynx is horrid i cant figure this thing out

[obsidian tide]

EA does Autumn Sales.

[lilac dust]

I WENT BEHIND ENEMY LINES AND KILLED 15 PEOPLE WITH MY DRF STRIFE ON IWO JIMA LET'S GOOO

[obsidian tide]

Heavier than the NTW in caliber, and less mobile from what I have heard. Steady it first.

[compact plaza]

the 12g is op on that map

[karmic oasis]

game is on sale

[dark bone]

the bullet is not going where im aiming

[lilac dust]

12M auto?

[obsidian tide]

Not on Steam, it is not.

[sinful scaffold]

it regularly goes on sale for like $3

[latent crystal]

Should've got it when it was 95% off during Summer Sale I guess lmaoo

[sinful scaffold]

very very worth it for that price imo

I'm sure it will again soon

[naive kraken]

bf 2042?

[sinful scaffold]

yeah

[naive kraken]

its not realistic but its fun with friends

[karmic oasis]

also, they hired the voice actors again for Iwo Jima wow

[latent crystal]

If it goes on sale again its like at the end of September, may as well just wait for BF6 to drop at that point

[uncut apex]

2042 support m&k on xbox series?

[dark kite]

What items do u unlock for bf6?

[naive kraken]

yeah bf6 is better tho

way better

[sudden turtle]

last time I played 2042 lobbies had lots of bots, is that still a thing?

[naive kraken]

u feel like a force on the field

[arctic grove]

this game is ASS compared to bf6 holy shit

[candid nova]

DUDE 1000^

im remember why i stopped playing now

[naive kraken]

the one that took me off guard was how well the game ran

i have a 3070ti and i can easily maintain over 120 fps

[obsidian tide]

Time to infect this originally BF3-referencing meme with brainrot.

Skibidi No-Pat.

(Ping unwarranted, I know, but was too quick on the type.)

[arctic grove]

idk about that, but ignoring any edition content, do you know by any chance if the ea play rewards will stay or expire too ?

[obsidian tide]

Can you name which ones they are?

[arctic grove]

someone told me on apex legends those will stay, like charms

[obsidian tide]

EA Play, assuming normal circumstances, only affects the ability to get them, not keep them.

[arctic grove]

https://www.ea.com/ea-play/member-benefits the ones that show up in there let me find a specific name

[civic siren]

Hi guys. I just bought EA Play to get battlepass rewards for BF6. Can I just buy them? I don't want to play this game 🙁

[candid nova]

we wish

[obsidian tide]

Not this time. Time Cost must be paid for these tiers with grinding.

[arctic grove]

Mistral says "Regarding in-game cosmetics (such as skins, outfits, or other items) claimed through EA Play member rewards, these are typically yours to keep even after your subscription ends, as they are added to your account permanently. This is supported by EA's policy that rewards like cosmetic items are not revoked after cancellation, though access to the games themselves and other subscription perks will be lost until you resubscribe" I have no idea if this is bull, well I'll see when it expires i guess

[royal sonnet]

I have a question: Do I have to play PvP to complete the Battle Pass objectives, or does PvE count too?

[obsidian tide]

Both may work. The Missions may require real players.

[craggy basalt]

Does anyone know how to fix a bug that doesn’t let you control your view vertically, forcing you to look down, but horizontal is fine? I downloaded the game from EA App. I have played 2042 on steam before, never had this bug

[small tartan]

Man the lynx just kinda sucks

[pure flower]

At least the final step of the Easter egg is being worked on and a new secret weapon, kinda awesome being at work and checking the BFEE discord, like I’m back in the bf1 days lmao

[arctic grove]

hey at least you get to play it 🙁

[royal sonnet]

I played bar rounds and still had no mission progress
Mabye Bug?

[hexed granite]

Big agree

[small tartan]

It aint worth it. Its too inaccurate to justify the recoil. It feels awful

I was hoping it would be a good competitior to the NTW but no its just awful

[obsidian tide]

I have heard it is better used for vehicle pen than infantry pen.

I will have to eventually see how it compares to the Red Orchestra 2 AT Rifles in handling.

[dark bone]

every single ammo type is -infantry damage

its all built for vehicle pen

[small tartan]

The NTW has that too, but is still consistent on inf

[dark bone]

true

ill just stick with the sws

[small tartan]

The Lynx just sucks. And the high power anti mat is pointless over the extended on vehicles too.

2 damage vs 3 damage to tanks lol

[sinful scaffold]

the HPAM rounds on the NTW are similalrly useless fwiw

[small tartan]

That is true too

[uncut apex]

does 2042 support mouse and keyboard on consoles?

[obsidian tide]

From prior hearsay on that subject, No.

[pastel delta]

quite sad that I need secure boot to play bf2042

[small tartan]

I really hope they buff the Lynx's accuracy. It really needs it. The animations need polish too. And the reload audio is just too quiet

[obsidian tide]

BF6 also requires it. And more.

[austere bane]

What’s the “includes 5 items” next to the free bf6 rewards? I wanna know what I’m suffering to get

[stiff dew]

They are much better against helos

I have done much psychological damage hitting a stealth helo for 25% per shot

[pure flower]

I know it’s only been a few hrs I get that, but is there any gameplay of the f2000 in 2042 in the world rn?

My fav weapon since BF3 and I’m super happy it’s back lol

[obsidian tide]

*BC2 when you learned how to shred with it.

[radiant pond]

ladies, do you have any ideas how to farm xp for the 2042 free pass to get the 6 skins? xd

[pure flower]

Nah for me I loved it more in BF3 @obsidian tide my love for the gun started there tbh

The days of Metro stomping with it

[obsidian tide]

Understandable.

[lilac dust]

Unlocked the BF1 skin for irish. Looks amazing

[pure flower]

I’ll take it there’s 0 gameplay of it rn 🙁

[round hatch]

ive created a 24/7 breakthrough redacted no bots can anyone do me a favour and try and find it see if you can see it please

[sinful scaffold]

15% a shot is still a lot though, and I'd rather have 1 more round per magazine and still be able to one-shot infantry

I'd consider swapping to HPAM more often on the fly if the reload wasn't so long...

[stiff dew]

Oh yes, I meant in general and not just the HPAM rounds

[sinful scaffold]

yeah fair

[stiff dew]

If I die to a very aggro stealth helo, I will swap to HPAM and begin the torment

[regal oyster]

Need this game to go on sale rn

[stiff dew]

Stealth helo pilots are even more cagey than most, and will utterly avoid you if they fail to bomb you a few times. Drop them to 25% once and they will usually never go where they think you are

[dull wolf]

Didn't play 2042 for quite a while, just went back in and got called a cheater and got reported. I'll take it as a compliment 😂

[ember tinsel]

Hey, anyone know if I still get the bf6 rewards from the free 2042 battlepass when I preordered bf6 on steam?

[round hatch]

think you get them for nf6 when you reach each tier

[obsidian tide]

The Free Pass awards are presumed to be tied to the account anyway. Especially if pre-ordered.

[iron junco]

The Battlepass is based on time played or specific challenges ?

[obsidian tide]

Both.

XP ground in the time played, and other "Missions" as additional objectives for Pass points.

[stiff dew]

Heli pilots are always K/D obsessed, to an insane degree. See: BF4 server admins that ban you for killing them in their attack helis on Shanghai

[ember tinsel]

I should clarify that I have 2042 on the ea app and not on steam accounts are linked tho

[stiff dew]

Hit them for 75% and they run scared.

[obsidian tide]

Pass awards are presumed to be linked to the EA Account, and so are also presumed to be applicable to a Steam copy of the game through that EA account.

[ember tinsel]

Thanks a lot

[karmic oasis]

they have the BF 3 long neck bug as a card lmao

[obsidian tide]

That is not the only past failure turned meme incident referenced.

[languid marsh]

in Iwo Jima there is some kind of easter egg hunt - there's a panel near C1 near the vault thing

ill try to screenshot

[iron junco]

BF2042 is on sale right now ? sorry i cant check thats why im asking

[lilac dust]

Oh so it's not just a sticker that total fps used earlier. It's actuall in the game LOL. Nice

[karmic oasis]

wait, its the Mixed Methaphor in reference for the reception of the game?

[obsidian tide]

Maybe on EA App, but not on Steam.

[karmic oasis]

oh that one

can someone explain me what was up wit hthe penguins pins and weapon charms in 2042?

[silver heath]

Back when the first trailer came out, there was a shot of some penguins in it

And everyone got hyped about the penguins

[obsidian tide]

Referencing the Penguins on Breakaway, or some other term used to refer to EA employees or gremlins later.

[rotund heart]

cant find game 2042?

[royal trellis]

Do a lot of people still play 2042? Just wondering because I was thinking about getting it.

[hushed lark]

anyone else played the bf6 beta and didn't get the lynx unlocked in 2042?

[analog void]

yes

apparently it

it's a known issue

[glass dagger]

some update about the Missing Lynx on people who played BF6?

[pastel delta]

will bf6 lose a substantial amount of its players bc of secure boot?

[pastel delta]

it's actually quite a good game rn,

[lean tartan]

BF2042 scheint bei mir einfach nicht laufen zu wollen.
Immer wieder bekomme ich einen DirectX fehler und immer nur im Menu.
Niemals im Game
Alle anderen Games laufen einwandfrei inkl. BF6.

Egal ob die Grafikkarte auf Stock oder uv läuft.

[pastel delta]

it's just launch was uhh the worst in bf history

[hushed lark]

but it's also full price rn, not worth it for a 3 year old game, especially when bf6 is out in less than two months

[molten hatch]

hello does anybody know why my game is shutting down of a file named glckio2.sys, ea anticheat detecdted this file but i can't delete it can anybody help me with this?

[obsidian tide]

Close to 500,000 were playing its Open Beta via Steam.

It will still be a surprise for anyone that doesn't meet the checks EA Anticheat expects a machine to.

[royal trellis]

Okay I was just wondering cuz I've only played the BF6 beta and I loved it.

[pastel delta]

you can go with bf6 and just ignore 2042

[royal trellis]

It's on sale for PlayStation. And I think it's free for PS+ too

[lean tartan]

BF2042 just doesn't seem to want to run for me.
I keep getting a DirectX error, and it only appears in the menu.
Never in the game.
All other games run perfectly, including BF6.

It doesn't matter if the graphics card is running on stock or UV.

[hushed lark]

oh well if you can get it for like 5 bucks or just play for free then 100% give it a try

[obsidian tide]

What GPU?

[lean tartan]

RTX5090

[royal trellis]

Okay thanks man.

[hushed lark]

a number of drivers (both Nvidia and AMD) cause problems. It could be that

[distant lichen]

why i feel like 2042 gameplays feels more smooth and no lags compare to bf6?

[vagrant hazel]

does any one know if I get EA play and unlock 2042 season pass lvls do I get skins for battlefield 6 or no ?

[distant lichen]

maybe my pc is crap, idk

[lean tartan]

Every game runs for many hours at full load.
Only 2042 has a DX error, and that's only in the menu. The game itself also runs for over an hour until a round is over without any problems.

[grave vapor]

I have no comment, because my game is continuously fighting with me.
Every now and then, it'll freeze, then lock up my controls, or just lock my controls for a second or two, and I have no idea why it's fighting with me now.

I legit cannot play it because it's fighting with me so much

[devout forge]

see it was things like THAT, that i fondly remember as levelution.

[hushed lark]

2042 has had many driver problems over time - some people crashed when they died, some people couldn't start the game.
That happened to me about a year ago so I rolled back my GPU drivers and it went away. Every other game was fine, it was just 2042

[tepid dove]

Paracel Storm is an all timer honestly

[left wave]

do u get the lynx jus when u start playing 2042 ? played the bf6 open beta but the lynx is locked n says i need to play the open beta that i play over 120hrs on

[dark bone]

dont even bother it sucks

[hushed lark]

yeah apparently it doesn't work for many people (me too)

[brazen horizon]

Will we receive the BF6 rewards from 2042 if 2042 is on EA App and BF6 is on Steam ???

[shell ermine]

So what I'm getting from Iwo Jima in 2042 is that we can only expect remakes to be good maps going forward

[stiff dew]

A few people have gotten it after a while

[sinful scaffold]

me too. they're looking into it apparently

[left wave]

so its bugged then, 2042 workin as normal then lol

[hushed lark]

alright, I'll keep an eye out

[obsidian tide]

BF6 targets newer machines and only 9th Gen consoles and up. It also has more destruction, lighting, and other streaming and computationally intensive effects. Like SSGI.

It manages GPU memory a bit better, but even so.

Try turning down Terrain Quality, Mesh Quality, and other things in it next time.

[obsidian tide]

They do not care, for they were effectively promised it as a content unlock to find that out for themselves.

[lean tartan]

I currently have driver 580.97 installed. I also had problems with the previous driver.
With the 4090, I didn't have any DirectX issues in the menu.

If the graphics card wasn't working properly, I would also experience a DX error in the game itself.

[left wave]

i gotta say tho after playing bf6 beta playing 2042 feels alien to me n cant get into it

[obsidian tide]

When the viewmodel inertial handling difference hits.

[left wave]

also seein n playing on bigger maps once again is awesome tho

[ember walrus]

They may aswell just add the last assets of bf4 bf5 and bf1 into 2042 maps guns etc

[left wave]

well irish gets a bf1 skin lol

[ember walrus]

Yeah iknow but I mean like why not just go all out at this point lol

[obsidian tide]

Unfortunately, this is the current extent of the "all out."

[left wave]

did u notice the chick from bfv now has 2 hands now, damn it why cant they add her back so we get the missing war story campaign mission

[cold iris]

Anyone doing the pass yet ? How long is each tier taking

[left wave]

i dunno bud, was thinking that myself

[woeful python]

wwee

I love dice

I needed this

hold me till october

[ember walrus]

I love to see they added and done this update tho hopefully they add some more

[fluid sail]

hy guys i have a question. i played battlefield 6 beta and when i launch battlefield 2042 i dont have the new sniper because i think i played bf6 in ea and i have bf2042 in steam its that normal ? tkx

[left wave]

i cant see ea adding more to 2042, this is to see us over till bf6 is released

[obsidian tide]

Known issue.

[fluid sail]

oh...

so i think they will fix that

[obsidian tide]

Reskin of Lis, but yes. No Amputee for her here.

Instead, Zain already is one. His lower legs are hydraulic.

[ember walrus]

Yeah I’m thinking the same as it says In the background of the lobby screen road to battlefield 6

[slim skiff]

hey idk why i cant stream my bf2042 it only shows my desktop

[lean tartan]

What can I do about the DirectX crashes in the menu?

[radiant pond]

is there any way to farm as much xp as possible for the pass without having to go through this torture of actually having to play 2042?

[slim skiff]

does any1 know what can i do? i tried by changing the resolution but nothing happens

[left wave]

mayb ya need to select the game to be shown if ya using obs

[slim skiff]

[left wave]

@slim skiff the server does not allow it, so its not u its the rules of the server

[slim skiff]

ohhh ok so depends on the sv or just any sv i cant

[obsidian tide]

Do they never show up in played maps? Only occurring after a certain time spent idle in the main menu?

[obsidian salmon]

I played Beta and still didnt got the Lynx in bf2042 but my Account ist connected

[left wave]

each server makes up there own rules, bf doesnt want ppl streaming

[muted thunder]

very good that they made a suprise update right.. but they didnt bother putting in a SWITCH TEAMS option. 🤦‍♂️

[slim skiff]

aaah ok ok thx so much bro

[left wave]

np

[left wave]

its bugged from what others hav said then the devs are looking into it

[hushed lark]

they are bundles

[obsidian tide]

They are 6 item bundles, apparently.

6 times 5 = 30.

[lean tartan]

I haven't received it in the game in many hours.

Only in the main menu

[twilit plank]

I wonder when they'll put 2042 on sale if even kinda want to get back in after bf6

[obsidian salmon]

Gotcha thanks for the answer

[radiant talon]

Have they fixed the issue with the Lynx not unlocking???

[obsidian tide]

What does the pop-up DirectX error message say, exactly? That the GPU device has hung and will not respond to more commands, or something else?

[ember walrus]

I got it

[left wave]

np

[lean tartan]

yes!

[obsidian tide]

Known issue. Some have it, others not. Being looked into more on the side.

[radiant talon]

Hmm

[obsidian tide]

Progress the Pass a little and see if it unlocks incidentally.

[quasi wasp]

@latent goblet @astral oriole @heady burrow are any of you available for dm

[obsidian tide]

Are you trying to report someone?

[quasi wasp]

no

[radiant talon]

I got the first 3 levels and didn’t get it

I’ll try to level it up a few more and see if anything happens

[quasi wasp]

I need account support but the actual one on the EA website isnt working

[lean tartan]

Yes, only in the Main Menu. All other game inkluding bf6, bf5, bf4, bf3, cyberpunk maxout have no issue

[obsidian tide]

Some claimed that the unlock eventually cleared after enough time playing 2042. Dunno the exact conditions for it, or if it was just incidental backend solving of it after enough time and Pass progression..

[obsidian tide]

Remind me what measures have been resorted to to try to deal with it before now?

[radiant talon]

I guess I only played 2 matches earlier… definitely gonna play more tonight

[pastel pagoda]

so, i guess the Central US servers are down?

[lean tartan]

Battlefield repair, Nvidia driver reinstall, GPU at Stock, GPU with lower GPU clock.

[frosty rose]

Just beat my longest killshot #screenshots-and-clips

[chilly umbra]

Just saw the msg ... ill give it a check and update u

[blazing zealot]

i've played 46 hours of Beta, but the Lynx still locked. Anyone too?

[weak thistle]

beta still live ?

[blazing zealot]

no

[weak thistle]

F

ty

[chilly umbra]

they know its an issue ... they working on afix

[silk thicket]

how is bf2042 after the new update? Only hear negative things about this game

[quasi wasp]

Its shit still

But the bf6 rewards look fire

[obsidian tide]

Known issue. Being monitored.

Some claimed to have eventually gotten that cleared later on.

[silk thicket]

whats bad about it?

ive only ever seen 2 maps in the game ever too lmfao

one city map and one desert map

[quasi wasp]

Just a downgrade from every other bf game

[summer needle]

It's actually good

[sinful musk]

Yeah coming from bf6 beta, it's such a mediocre game lol. Performs badly too

[quasi wasp]

I got the highest hopes for bf6

If i get duped again for preordering though im gonna crash out

[lofty fox]

2042 HAS A-10 AND FROGFOOT NOW?

[dapper river]

please see my video for the answer to your question
#streams-and-videos message

[obsidian tide]

Imagine Bad Company 2 if it wasn't underrated, and something is inherently wrong with it. It was hyped up as or thought to be a franchise savior following BFV, and turned out to be the furthest thing from that on release.

[undone gazelle]

I played a round of 2042 now after the bf6 beta, oh boy, what a difference

[stiff dew]

Just gonna give the lynx issue a day

[quasi wasp]

Didnt even get a campaign 😔

[stiff dew]

Ping a dice person if it doesn't show by then lol

[quasi wasp]

Are the dice people the ones that handle problems

Have i been pinging the wrong ones

[chilly umbra]

Still locked

[quasi wasp]

Tragic

[scarlet plume]

They know what they're doing 😂. I have to reinstall this pile of shit now

[quasi wasp]

Fr

Especially releasing this after the steam sale

[obsidian tide]

Without even having 2042 on sale during that sale, either.

[undone shale]

Do you get the battlefield 6 rewards with ea play?

[quasi wasp]

Damn i thought it was part of it

[obsidian tide]

Part of Free Pass with grinding of 2042. EA Play irrelevant.

This time, you are expected to play 2042 for them.

[quasi wasp]

Why is support so hard to get in contact with

So quick to take your money but not to help with their product

[sinful scaffold]

I already contacted EA support about this. spoiler: they can't do anything

the representative I talked to said they can't manually give you the Lynx, but said they would pass it on to the 2042 team to hopefully make them aware of the problem

and the EA rep on this chat said the team is aware of it and working on it, so nothing to do now but wait

[quasi wasp]

Im not having that problem

[sinful scaffold]

oh nvm then

sorry for assuming lol

[quasi wasp]

Alg

[silver meteor]

WAIT THEY MADE it 64v64?! LETS GO 🙏

[sinful scaffold]

it's mislabeled, Iwo Jima is max 32v32

[silver meteor]

Rough.

[vocal sand]

I’m keep getting timed out when matchmaking

[woven seal]

Imagine how good it would have been if they added classic maps to portal regularly over the last few years.

[quasi wasp]

I just wish there was a campaign

too

[quasi wasp]

How did you get through to them

Cause none of my shit going through

[silver meteor]

That's definitely what they'll be doing with 6 onwards, I presume portal will be their kinda live service type thing (outside of the BR ofc) where they just add more and more.

[sinful scaffold]

go to https://help.ea.com/en/technical-issues/ and then scroll down to "contact us"

[silver meteor]

I was so excited when I saw it said Iwo Jima 64v64, but alas

[quasi wasp]

Yeah I did that

[lofty fox]

DOES 2042 HAVE FROG FOOT AND A10 IN AOW NOW?

[woven seal]

Its like 2042 generated a tonne of hype, post launch promises were made, everyone preorded, the devs made their money early and they put a skeleton crew on the game post launch.
This could happen to BF6

[quasi wasp]

I just keep getting an error

[undone gazelle]

You have to unlock those

[lofty fox]

ARE THEY IN AOW?

[quasi wasp]

If this happens to bf6 im gonna be out another 100$ from EA

[sinful scaffold]

yes. they're at level 32 and 42 in the new free battle pass, though, so they'll take some grinding to unlock

[lofty fox]

LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOO

[woven seal]

This is what they said with 2042

[undone gazelle]

Haven’t seen yet

[lofty fox]

BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRTTTTTTTTT

[sinful scaffold]

yeah I'm excited to try them

[quasi wasp]

@latent goblet please help me

[silver meteor]

They did what they always do for live service games. It's not a skeleton crew, its the live service team. Every DICE game (and most multiplayer games.) have this happen. As the majority move onto the next major title.

Difference is Battlefield 6 is launching in a state where it can carry the title of being 'Battlefield' and be one they stick with for a while. 2042's live service team was basically cleaning up the mess, although they did extend the core team's time on that game post launch to help iirc. Assuming this game launches in a functioning state (which after playing the beta, presumably it will) then there's nothing to worry about lol.

[woven seal]

This was a missed opportunity. They should have put metro in the game.

[stiff dew]

As someone who has played metro since the BF3 Closed Alpha in 2011, no.

Leave metro in the past

[lean tartan]

Everyone DX Error in the Menu?

[latent goblet]

What's up?

[silver meteor]

Metro is eh.

[quasi wasp]

Can i dm you about account related issues

[silver meteor]

Now Iwo Jima.. that I could get behind. lol

[quasi wasp]

I tried reaching out to support already but never got anywhere with it

[meager mauve]

getting directx error after playing a few min, anyone know a fix?

[stiff dew]

Also true. I would have liked Mashtuur City lmao

[slender fulcrum]

random 2042 content and free bp is insane

[lofty fox]

bf 2042 experience
Beta : "oh hey this is pretty nice, there are bugs but its not full release"
release : "oh its the Beta"

[stiff dew]

Or Road to Jalalabad

[silver meteor]

Exactly lol. (Which we all knew it would be)

I really like how 2042 ended up, although 128 should've stuck around. It was unfortunate to see the community blame the player count, rather than the map design, even though the latter did get fixed up.

[lofty fox]

128 was weird, I liked 64 ngl

but yeah watching maps get sections removed from them was pretty sad

like the tunnel through the mountain that connected to another point on orbital

[sinful scaffold]

completely agreed

[dark bone]

i acutally liked 128 more then 64

my problem with bf6 is the maps werent big enough hoping they were just reduced size for beta

[hexed granite]

Anyone else tried Lynx?
Feels like its a not fully released weapon lol.
Aiming on head = bullet goes 8 meters to the left / right / top / bottom

[sinful scaffold]

same! I think 64v64 is fun (the scale almost reminds me of planetside 2 lol), and I think the super large-scale maps of 2042 are my favorite out of... pretty much any battlefield game

[dark bone]

bf6 feels like i couldnt breathe no matter where i was on a map

[sinful scaffold]

yep

hoping that's just a symptom of the maps in the beta being among the smaller ones

[wary marsh]

anyway to speedfarm the battlepass?

[silver meteor]

I prefered 128, it felt like a war for the first time. I'm also one of those people that think launch Hourglass was better than the revamp lol

I enjoyed 3/4 the 6 maps though and I'm coming around to the other one

[lofty fox]

open portal sort by highest player count, read the names

[icy bough]

hello, i played the bf6 beta but i didnt unlocked the lynx sniper in 2042

[manic star]

i made a 128 player Iwo jima break through server, anyone want to play?

[lofty fox]

are there A-10's and Frogfoots

[manic star]

no its just default

[hexed granite]

You dont miss anything. This weapon is not hitting anything from 30 meters away.

[stiff dew]

wish i could use it lol

[icy bough]

ik its just sad because ive played the beta and i wanted the gun but alright

[midnight moon]

Omg getting 180 stupid kills just to get flares on the drone is so unenjoyable it's nuts

[civic python]

Is there any gadgets that stay deployed/used even after you died?

[lofty fox]

also the DRAUGR got lobotimized

HE impact damage lowered from 15 to 13.5

HE blast damage 20 to 18

JDAM bomb reload time increased from 20 to 25

Napalm bomb reload time increased from 30 to 35

Napalm inner (max damage radius) lowered from 8m to 4m

Overall blast radius from 20m to 8m  (retains 20m burning radius but no initial explosion damage)

Napalm bomb shockwave damage has been drastically reduced.```

[midnight moon]

WHose idea was that

[arctic grove]

how do I actually SEE someone in this fucking game?

it's almost impossible

[sturdy otter]

iwo jima is the best without doubt atm

[winged pasture]

So why it the lynx in 2042 and not in 6

[silver meteor]

This is me with battlefield 6.

2042 visibility is chill but lord on Cairo my eyes.. LMAO they be having to work overtime

[sinful scaffold]

true

[hoary torrent]

How the fuck 2042 is still alive

[lavish minnow]

So whats this "The prototype"

[arctic grove]

I had that problem at Iberia map but other than that, bf6 visibility was good for me

[obsidian tide]

That might still be there in the 128 version, unless it is not the one near E.

[lilac dust]

LOL the DICE PLS tag in the battlepass is great

[elfin river]

Cant find a damn game wit my twin

Yall got the issue tooo

[obsidian tide]

Known issue.

[hexed granite]

Crossplay was deactivated on my side for some reason

[elfin river]

Fuck ass game

[obsidian tide]

Turn off Vignette, Chromatic Aberration, Motion Blur, and consider using TAA Low.

[obsidian tide]

As a tease.

[elfin river]

Check ir private dm

[elfin river]

I texted u too twin

[hexed granite]

10/10 comment, chat public for it

[arctic grove]

this looks a bit better, thanks

[glacial field]

hm lynx i cant not found this weapon but i have played 35 hours open beta 😉 ..

[stiff dew]

Known issue

[obsidian tide]

Noted.

[glacial field]

okay thanks

[obsidian tide]

Also, make sure Dynamic Resolution is Off.

[gilded maple]

I wanted to download the game to see what it became since launch but it's 100Go lol

[obsidian tide]

Delete Destiny 2.

[gilded maple]

what

[serene schooner]

I got it after a round

[hard dock]

i love how i cant see shit because of the taa

[serene schooner]

I wonder if I can ping totalfps, I have a question

[hard dock]

gonna have to miss out on the skins ig

[serene schooner]

you can turn TAA off tho

[hard dock]

how?

[vivid island]

Is it possible to unlock the levels in the new battlepass by simple buying them?

[serene schooner]

graphic settings?

[serene schooner]

don't think so

[hard dock]

nope
theres only taa low and taa high

i cant turn it off
thankfully bf6 lets me 🥹

[serene schooner]

damn, fr? geez

[vivid island]

Sad cuz I am during that time away

[serene schooner]

it's active from now till october tho

[vivid island]

I m in hospital for 6 weeks minimum🫠

[serene schooner]

awh, that sucks

you okay, tho?

[obsidian tide]

TAA Low may be best bet for now.

[vivid island]

No I want the battlepass xD

[proper moss]

Anyone having issues not getting the Lynx despies playing the beta? I'm on EA

[tidal patio]

Anyone down for wheeled warrior trophy boosting? Have a server set up

[serene schooner]

I'm just gonna do it

[fleet owl]

Just read your reddit post, i posted about the same thing and i still didn't recieve the lynx sniper rifle

[turbid igloo]

Does anyone know if I have to do the Battlepass on the platform I want to play BF6 on to get the rewards, or can I do it on my Xbox and get the rewards on PC for BF6?

[serene schooner]

@viscid bone Will our Boins (?) carry from 2042 to 6? Do you know anything about this?

[echo yew]

Playing 2042 rn is so bad

Why is the lynx so bad too

High spread, low bullet velocity, low damage, high bullet drop, slow ADS, high recoil

[hexed granite]

Meme weapon. Don't play it until they actually promote it as a average sniper.

[echo yew]

Actually just remove it from the game

[viral dome]

Hi, does anyone know how to change option to tap/hold to reload?

[crimson talon]

Anyone having issues connecting to 2042? Mine won't load in even after confirming internet correction

[echo yew]

Do i really have to play 2042 to get the BF6 rewards

I’d rather buy them separately ngl

[sonic stone]

Anybody else not unlock the lynx despite playing in the beta????

[calm edge]

Did you play a match in 2042 yet?

[echo yew]

Don’t bother with it it’s the worst gun in fps history

[lavish minnow]

I got it instantly.

[echo yew]

you’re not actually missing anything

[fleet owl]

I did and im still not getting it

[proper moss]

@calm edge yes

[crisp spear]

about to jump back in since 2021

[fleet owl]

Did you not get is still?

[crisp spear]

gonna be so bad

[proper moss]

@fleet owl no will try again later. Don't have time atm

[fleet owl]

did you restart your pc?

[echo yew]

Its horrible dude what the fuck

[indigo portal]

whats bad about it?

[echo yew]

Everything

it’s like actually whiplash going from BF6 to 2043

[dark bone]

the bullet never goes where youre aiming

[echo yew]

the input delays, the weird floaty movement, the twelve thousand keys i have to press before i get to my gadget, the insane overpowered vehicles

[rancid echo]

i didnt get the lynx in bf2042 even tho i played bf6 beta 🙁

[echo yew]

Also the lynx is like comically bad

[indigo portal]

same

[fleet owl]

Atleast you got it 🙁

[rancid echo]

i just want to finish its mastery

[echo yew]

why add new guns if they’re not actually meant to be viable, we’re in the opposite of cod, where the new guns are obviously overtuned so people buy the battlepass, this time around its the other way

[lilac dust]

So if you think about it. We got a Season 8 after all 🤣

[crisp spear]

game crashed in 3 mins sick

[indigo portal]

thank you ❤️

id just rather the Lynx have a "play the beta or get 100 kills with the NTW-50" or something

so people who have issues can still get it

[next axle]

its fine imo

[coral scaffold]

havent played 2042 in years , going back in after playing bf6 beta

[next axle]

its changed now

its like solid

[coral scaffold]

reinstalling

as we speak

[dark bone]

getting on the roof on bf6 was definitely an exploint was it not

[next axle]

i mean id enjoy the release tho it isnt that bad

[velvet narwhal]

Lmao can’t even get enough players to start a match in 2042 after reinstalling it

Been trying to get into 4 matches but no players at all it seems

[limber kayak]

does anyone notice the gun skin on reward level 34 is animated?

[hexed granite]

Check if Crossplay is on

[arctic grove]

How am I able to use 1942 guns? I can’t seem to find it

[manic star]

more like poor design by the devs. You could literally just climb up in some spots

[velvet narwhal]

Yea it’s on

[arctic grove]

What modes? Mines been working just fine

[gilded yacht]

is there any way to view all the items in the bf6 cosmetic pack in the pass?

[velvet narwhal]

Breakthrough/Conquest

[dark bone]

ive been getting into 128 conquest all day with no problems

[arctic grove]

Hmm, that’s what I’ve been playing

[waxen edge]

Does portal not count towards weapon unlock challenges? Want to unlock the an 94 and didn't see any progress made after a game

[manic star]

what region/platform?

[velvet narwhal]

Europe, PC

[hexed granite]

Pretty weird then, i had the same issue but CrossPlay got deactivated after update for me, after that i had always full lobbys pretty fast.

[cerulean jay]

What is the fastest way to level up the free Battlepass for BF6 content?

[velvet narwhal]

Yea it’s weird ill just restart the game to see if it will work

[rocky ether]

soprry but after playing 2042 hardcore that on the dice playlist they forgot what hardcore is and they cant make a hardcore anymore

[stoic spire]

Can you get the BF6 stuff From the PS4 version of 2042 if anyone knows?

[spiral mason]

Dice can u change how defis work in 2042 put them to be same as in btf 6

[manic star]

use the server browser and join hardcore community servers. Theres usually a few that are always active

[quiet sonnet]

anyone know if they fixed the driver issue with amd?

[violet badger]

Can you not buy tiers in the new pass?

I have some spare coins

[obsidian tide]

Several skins are animated. That blinking Smiley Face is a sneaky one. Its Charm version also does that.

[regal oyster]

Anyone know how to fix 2042 not launching on PC?

[obsidian tide]

No.

[obsidian tide]

What kind of not launching?

[violet badger]

i have no trouble

[quiet sonnet]

6000 series card?

[violet badger]

i'm on version 25.8.1

[regal oyster]

Gets to the connecting to online services screen then crashes. I have secure boot on and every other battlefield game works perfectly

[quiet fjord]

Yes

[violet badger]

oh, no, sorry

i have a 7000 series

[quiet sonnet]

rip

[violet badger]

whats the issue?

just driver crashes?

[quiet fjord]

25.8.1 is fine.

[quiet sonnet]

yeah ive been crashing right after dying for like half a year now

[manic star]

they need to add custom search to 2042. I cant believe after all these years its still so difficult to play the way you want

[quiet sonnet]

its an issue with 6000 cards specifically

[violet badger]

that's messed up

[quiet fjord]

It is fixed with 25.8.1

[quiet sonnet]

nice

time to redownload the dogshit on my pc then

[violet badger]

ooh nice

i hope it solves your trouble

amd software aint that bad for me

[hoary torrent]

I'm glad that 2042 ends well

[violet badger]

at least since i disabled fast boot

[hoary torrent]

We even got two new guns

[icy pecan]

I can’t believe I’m reinstalling this game

[violet badger]

yeah i didn't expect it

[heady ermine]

Anyone else having the issue of playing the beta and the sniper not unlocking?

[violet badger]

it worked for me

[heady ermine]

Had 50+hrs playtime on the beta and it hasn’t unlocked 😔

[hoary torrent]

It may be a poorly written letter, but the ending is surely brilliant

[spice parrot]

damn 2k players to 18k on 2042 crazy

[fathom coral]

50 gb update are we fr

[hoary torrent]

They added a new map

[fathom coral]

must be the most beautiful best map ever then

[hoary torrent]

It's Iwo Jima

[obsidian tide]

How exactly does it crash when trying to load an announcement page and/or the main menu?

[violet badger]

They kind of ruined it for me

the cool cave area is not in playable area

[obsidian tide]

BF6 item pass and new map be like.

[hoary torrent]

You got one bit that is A1

[obsidian tide]

Or if it is, only on Breakthrough. Never Conquest.

[manic star]

it was 14gb for me

[violet badger]

oh, i haven't played breakthrough actually

[fathom coral]

[lilac dust]

There's a huge cave area in breakthrough. Assuming that's what you're referring to, but haven't played BFV one

[hoary torrent]

There would be a battery in the tunnel of BFV version

Overviewing the beach

[mellow moss]

yall know how to get faster exp in 2042

[crude wave]

I could swear that the medic bots got worse since the last time I played this

They dont even revive anymore

at least on advanced

[harsh shale]

hey i just seen a guy have a swedish flag decal on his tank? or whatever vehicle it was, but for me i dont see any flags just pre made logos? is it something you buy? or unlock somehow?

[hoary torrent]

Portal

xp farm

[mellow moss]

do they even work

how can i use them to get

the msot exp out of them

[harsh shale]

yes that map is from bfv just remade kinda its sick tho

[hoary torrent]

all portal give full xp

[quiet fjord]

The volcanic eruption has changed the map. 🙂‍↔️

[obsidian tide]

Probably found in the Free Pass.

[hoary torrent]

There're still disgusting snipers

[harsh shale]

nooo i checked

[unique anchor]

Idk if it’s even worth going back to 2042

[hoary torrent]

after all these years

[harsh shale]

bro its fun trust me with the bfv map

[obsidian tide]

BF6 content unlocks in there.

[hoary torrent]

You can get free stuffs for BF6

[harsh shale]

and u get so much bf6 content

its worth it

[unique anchor]

Yeah I don’t have it preordered atm

[harsh shale]

dosent matther

[obsidian tide]

Let us know if you need Secure Boot help.

[unique anchor]

[harsh shale]

as long as the account is connected u will have it

[hoary torrent]

it will just give you when you decided to buy i think

[unique anchor]

I mean

I plan on preordering it a few days before it’s release

[harsh shale]

no one knows about the flags decals? MAYBE SOME DICE PEOPLE CAN HELP HERE ehm

[manic star]

how can i queue iwo jima breakthrough?

[undone gazelle]

Why the game on ps5 gives me error every end of the game? It’s boring 5th time in a row

[harsh shale]

right above on the left where u normaly search is a section

the weeks playlist or something

[manic star]

i only see iwo jima conquest

[heady ermine]

I played 50+hrs of the beta through steam and the sniper hasn’t unlocked for me. Am I screwed?

[obsidian tide]

What platform?

[echo yew]

1000 damage with incendiary grenade
incendiary grenade is shit

I love modern gaming design

[harsh shale]

press it should have 2

one conquest and breaktrough

[hoary torrent]

It costed DICE 4 years to make this hard decision

[harsh shale]

really? i got it without knowing lol someone in game told me but yeah i think u are....

its a decent sniper but i aint a sniper guy tbh

[regal oyster]

i got it to stop crashing now its doing a infinite loading screen it seems

[heady ermine]

That’s shitty 😔 I completed all challenges and maxed out the beta

[manic star]

maybe its cause im on a new account but it shows conquest discovery instead

[tardy jasper]

2042 aint so bad

[hoary torrent]

Each time when people think DICE have given up on 2042 a new update would drop in surprise

[unique anchor]

Fookin hope so

[tardy jasper]

Kinda fun

[obsidian tide]

Some are affected by not having it unlocked automatically in spite of having played the Beta. It is a known issue now. Some may find it clears up later.

[heady ermine]

I hope so, was looking forward to the new content

[harsh shale]

ah yeah it will prop solve itself in a few days, as long as its the same account yall should be fine

[hoary torrent]

DICE has surely fixed 2042

[obsidian tide]

The new update references 2042 and other series memes. Even the dreaded Father Winter skin.

[hoary torrent]

They should give that to everyone for free lol

[bitter spruce]

Are the servers down rn

[hoary torrent]

Perhaps in Christmas, who knows

[unique anchor]

Ha “free”

[unique anchor]

No

[harsh shale]

HOLD UP

[bitter spruce]

Bett

[harsh shale]

WE CAN UNLOCK A NEW JET? IN THE FREE PASS?

damn

[hoary torrent]

yep

[harsh shale]

it looks sick

[obsidian tide]

2. The A-10, and the Su-25 2042 version.

[unique anchor]

I can’t fly for shit lmao

[hoary torrent]

A-10 and Su-25

[harsh shale]

oh so thats how the A-10 was on the trailer. i couldent see the option

i dont see it in the menu tho

nevermind

[obsidian tide]

Collection menu.

[stiff trail]

No lynx in 2042 after playing the BF6 Beta????

[obsidian tide]

The only item not show in Collection by default is... "The Prototype" Tactical.

[obsidian tide]

Some Beta players have it, others do not. Known issue, being monitored. Some users may have been able to get it cleared later on.

[hoary torrent]

F2000 is also available

[obsidian tide]

Via Free Pass.

[stiff trail]

thx so there is a chance to get it later?

[harsh shale]

am still so confused how he had the flag. he said decals but i dont see any flags am gonna go crazy

[obsidian tide]

Yes. Whether as a cleared matter for Beta players, or as a later Unlock Challenge-tied thing like the Draugr, M3A3 Bradley 2042, and BMP-2 2042.

[bold lark]

Okay ngl it's pretty hard to say this... but battlefield 2042 is a solid game now 😭

[obsidian tide]

Which tank model?

[harsh shale]

wasent sure tbh i couldent see that clearly, either the C ram or some bradley

since we was in the tunnel on imo jima lol

is there no way to get in contact with the devs here?

surely they would know

[stiff trail]

thank you for the answer ❤️

Is it this?

[harsh shale]

YES

how u find it

dont tell me it was a bundle that no longer can get

[tropic cliff]

Is 2042 A-10 the same as in Portal?

[obsidian tide]

Decals section of the Battlefield FANDOM site.

[harsh shale]

according to chatgbt

it was a free bundle with all flags

and if u dident get it then

i cant get it

[obsidian tide]

It was part of the Season 3: Escalation Battle Pass, from November 2022.

[harsh shale]

bruh

jesus

the only time i dident play it

😭

[tropic cliff]

you use chatgpt 🤢

[obsidian tide]

Haven't heard of that one before.

[harsh shale]

what chatgbt can search the whole web in 3 seconds?

as soon as i paste in what TS2 send it found it

if its there to use why not XD

[vale pier]

Coming from playing bf6 to 2042 is so jarring. Haven't played 2042 since. Launch and it's still kind of a mess. What the hell are those store items

[harsh shale]

anyways sad we cant get it now that shouldent be a temoprery thing

[harsh shale]

fire skins u cant lie?

for bf2042 dosent fit for bf6

but the BF4 skin that we can get from it tho oooo

to bf6

yes please

Dice yall should just add the flag decal to my account for a fellow swede

[tropic cliff]

[harsh shale]

[vale pier]

Playing 2042 now just feels like I'm playing a cheap copy of delta force. Then delta force is a cheap copy of battlefield. It's kinda sad

[burnt wraith]

is it a rendering bug on Iwo jima?

[obsidian tide]

Past Season Pass items, and a few other things.

[harsh shale]

no just crap textures, tought it was my pc but more had it to. so they rushed it for sure

it dose load in the first 2 min tho

[tropic cliff]

I still can't believe there's no 128p layout

[obsidian tide]

Some of the terrain textures may be a little...Sized up.

[harsh shale]

learning the bf6 heli controlls, came back to 2042 i couldent fly lmao

insane how fast the memory muscles get stuck

[obsidian tide]

Its layout is too convenient for that, but nope.

[harsh shale]

for the new map?

we could def have 128

sad we dont

[burnt wraith]

played 30 min and still looked like 480p textures, everything ultra and 4k without upscaling

[harsh shale]

well conquest dose but no breaktrough

[harsh shale]

Yeah they 100% made the map in a week

[burnt wraith]

Sad, was hyped

[harsh shale]

still fun tho

better then most bf2042 maps tbh

but bf6 maps ugh

to crowded

way to smal

[unique anchor]

But I actually have fun on delta force than 2042 Lmao

[harsh shale]

Brother

delta force is 2042 from wish?

[tropic cliff]

The mud pathways are the only high-resolution textures on the map

[unique anchor]

And?

[harsh shale]

its not fun

Xdd

[obsidian tide]

If you like, where the shader cache directory is can be pointed to to purge it, so the game can make a new one.

Otherwise, try uninstall/reinstall.

[unique anchor]

Thanks for your opinion i guess lmao

[harsh shale]

lmao

sorry i just dident like it

looked to much moblie

game

[unique anchor]

I noticed

[unique anchor]

Cause it is a mobile game

[burnt wraith]

Sure but as a graphic wh*re, makes it unplayable, characters looks like vaseline on clay

[harsh shale]

and the perks for each operator is weird

yea but PC it should look and feel smother

[unique anchor]

[burnt wraith]

big brain

[harsh shale]

all good if you like it you do

[unique anchor]

Oh I know

[harsh shale]

but i assume u liked bf6?

[mellow moss]

bro i played an xp farm server and barely got any exp

[unique anchor]

I love it, delta force is my substitute till bf6 comes out

[harsh shale]

those xp farm servers are only a certain XP amount then u get blocked

when the game came out they worked

[harsh shale]

awesome! cant wait for bf6

[tropic cliff]

What I don't get is why the deployment areas are the same fucking size as the playable area

[harsh shale]

wich game?

bro rush and breakthrough was broken. enemies had spawn right by the bomb on rush on bf6.

[vestal lark]

it's an MCOM station

[harsh shale]

yea sorry i forgot the name

[dim crypt]

did they really put bf6 skins into 2042?

[vestal lark]

I also think you're a bit confused - never seen anyone spawning "right by" the stations

[harsh shale]

are you sure about that?

lol

compare any other bf rush mode to bf6

there Zone was like 30 meters by it

[real valve]

Is the BF6 content locked to platform? I have 2042 on EA app, but plan to get BF6 on Steam.

[shell spade]

what are the best weapons?

[obsidian tide]

Should still be tied to the EA Account either way. So long as the accounts are linked, it should be in the clear.

[real valve]

Cool! Thanks!

[granite island]

Iwo jima 128 is something I thought I would never see

[frozen brook]

do you guys have the LYNX unlocked? I played the bf6 beta but to me its locked

[obsidian tide]

Known issue. Monitored. Some may find it eventually unlocks with enough time.

[chilly sparrow]

i wish for mass effect event to comeback i need XM8 LMG skin

[fallen spear]

is 2042 flying anything like bf6?

[woven spruce]

I cant buy the game its 60 euros for me

[timber marsh]

LFG, i’m a 49 year old guy who loved to play BC2, just got a PS5 for Battlefield 6, so i need to build up my skills again, haven’t been playing since BC2

[obsidian tide]

No.

[timber marsh]

Got 2042 to train

[woven spruce]

I cant its expensive in my country sadly lol

[obsidian tide]

2042 may feel similar to BC2, but unlike BC2, things are wrong.

BF6 is more like BC2 maps meet BF3 and MOH2010 handling.

[timber marsh]

I did the 2 beta weekends

[manic star]

yes mostly the same, 2042 is a easier and more forgiving for crashing

[timber marsh]

So i need some players who want to help me out, team up

[heady ridge]

EA AntiCheat has detected an incompatible driver. Please update or disable 'c:\windows\syswow64\drivers\ssgdio64.sys' and restart. (119)

xD

[lilac dust]

So does the volcano erupt during matches or has it already erupted from the moment the match starts?

[lilac dust]

BF6 will probably eventually be better but as it stands 2042 flying is better for now

[timber citrus]

What's the new content that you can earn for BF6 in 2042

[obsidian tide]

What is ssgdio64.sys part of?

[zealous pond]

This new map was def AI generated

[obsidian tide]

More weapon and playermodel skin variants.

[timber citrus]

Can you post em here

[spice parrot]

game keeps crashing when i launch

[obsidian tide]

How far into launching are you getting before it happens?

[manic star]

weapon tank and 2 character skins

[vale pier]

I'm going to be honest. I gave it a good try tonight but 2042 just doesn't have any redeeming qualities. Even now it's still the worst game I have ever played.

[dreamy grove]

How can i unlock them?

[spice parrot]

i get to the loading screen and it just crashes

[obsidian tide]

Has uninstalling the game and reinstalling it offered anything different in symptom presentation?

[manic star]

level up the battlepass

its free

[obsidian tide]

Also, there is a free Store bundle related to it.

[spice parrot]

nope reinstalled still same

[cosmic dragon]

el alamein is on the breakthrough rotation??

[arctic grove]

will they give more of the 100% xp boost or is it one time ?

[tawny elm]

I'm confused...EA and DICE made a broken game at launch, and then tried to pretend like their game that they just dropped didn't exist and just left it without updating anything and then the game was pretty much dead a few weeks or a few months later. Went a few years without updating anything and then all of a sudden they want to pay attention to the game after they dropped their BF6 Beta?

Why pay attention to the problem that they ignored for so long? When you leave to go grab milk from the store, you can't just pop back up whenever you feel like it and expect to be welcomed back with open arms. LOL 😂

[arctic grove]

also anyone got advice for the "10 captures" mission ? There's no way I can do this with how little the caps move around

[arctic grove]

they're not paying attention to 2042, this is just a way to market bf6 and keep people invested while they wait for the release

it's all leftover game assets

easy to just put up for free

[tawny elm]

I thought they just put out an announcement that they updated BF2042 with "new stuff." That's what it said in their newest update.

(AKA what should have already been in the game)

[ocean parrot]

Anyone have this issue where you cannot move your camera when in 1st person? Vehicles on 3rd person and even TV missiles work just fine

[bitter spruce]

IWO JIMA was a W Pick for a map for the new event

[arctic grove]

because it's for marketing, they did add new stuff but it's all a bf6 marketing stunt and it's working if you check steamcharts numbers

[ocean parrot]

If I move my mouse super fast then I can actually move around a little bit but thats no way to play

[fresh swallow]

Is there cross progression between Xbox and game pass on PC?

[tawny elm]

"We are going to drop stuff into the game that should have been in the game the entire time and call it new to draw back our players."

I dont know man, I'm not that easily persuaded. They're going to have to walk on water if they want me to follow them harder than MAGA follows Trump or Libs with Kamala. (To everyone else, I'm just kidding, I'm an Army veteran and it's a joke. It's just my humor. Lol)

[green bridge]

Must not of played many games then.

[ocean parrot]

lol i killed someone by aiming with my arrow keys... But seriously anyone know a fix? This sucks

[obsidian tide]

What titles rival or are above it in worseness, by any chance?

[tawny elm]

They say it's an improvement for the game, but I have one question, I don't care about the weapons, I don't care about the maps, Can I blow up a building and cause serious destruction? Is the map more destructive than before? Yes or no?

[tired sierra]

anyone wanna play 2042 w me
?

[cosmic dragon]

needed a reason to play the game again

[obsidian tide]

No. The assets have been placed more believably, but if you want everything to break down around you, you will only find it in Haven, 2042 Portal Valparaiso and Arica Harbor, and BF6. Those ones you already know.

[arctic grove]

holy crash out, you okay buddy ?

need a friend to talk to ? 🤣

[tawny elm]

Lol nah just joshing bro.

[cosmic dragon]

who says joshing

</3

lock in this ain't a josh

[tawny elm]

Thank you for the info, if they havent updated 2042 to be more destructive then it's off to BF4 for me.

[cosmic dragon]

pick me lookin

sigh just gonna play bf4

[wispy marten]

crashing out over a video game

[short edge]

paying 42 cause of bf6 rewards and i gotta say this game is so bunz 😭

[exotic sinew]

I can't bring myself to play 2042 anymore. After playing the alpha tests, and the beta tests for BF6, I had way more fun in the 30 or so unpolished matches there than I ever had on 2042.

[short edge]

its funny to that i got 42 for free and i still dont like it

[arctic grove]

I just hate how flat the maps in 2042 are, there's 0 cover except in the center POI and that's it

[late creek]

Gonna try 2042 again later but if anti cheat throws another fit about a messed up MSI driver, imma crash out (also)

[ocean parrot]

I fixed my issue, apparently my keyboard is so fancy it counts as a controller as far as 2042 is concerned lol

[violet tinsel]

Just had a once in a eternity game on Iwo Jima breakthrough, teammates working together and ALL medics reviving 🤯

[obsidian tide]

It probably will due to unpatched things. It wants them gone.

[sour meadow]

yo hold up

[obsidian tide]

Whoops. Now you know.

[exotic sinew]

Yup. I got it with EA Play from XBOX GamePass, and I've maybe sunk a hundred hours or so into it, maybe more. Mainly because it's just what everyone is playing. I tried going back to BF4, but there's hardly any servers on XBOX. But that was before the BF6 playtests, so Idk if it's been revived a bit now.

[sour meadow]

i just reinstalled bf2042 for the bf6 stuff and and it also downloaded to my PC "Battlefield 2042 Technical Playtest"

[soft token]

how do the new free pass rewards work on BF2042, ive played bF6 beta on steam so would I have to play BF2042 on steam to get the rewards on my account or would I have to play BF2042 on the EA account linked to my steam for it?

[obsidian tide]

Curious.

[remote kiln]

you do not need to play it on steam, the accounts just need to be linked to the same EA account

[soft token]

so lets say my steam is linked to account A, id have to play bf 2042 on the ea account A to get the rewards correct?

[remote kiln]

yes

[soft token]

because I realized I have BF2042 on another EA account and not the one linked so that's kinda annoying

[sour meadow]

what's the "Battlefield 2042 Technical Playtest"?

[civic anchor]

Why didnt I get the lynx if i played the bf6 beta?

[remote kiln]

the technical playtest was the beta for 2042, it's probably just downloaded in error

[jovial saffron]

anyone else lynx sniper not unlocked in 2042 even though they played bf6 beta ?

[civic anchor]

same

[jovial saffron]

yeah mine is locked still when i check, i played beta on steam

[obsidian tide]

I believe it ties to the linked EA account either way.

[sour meadow]

bruh no way

[echo stone]

Why can’t I access the battle pass from B06 on 2042?

[sour meadow]

they took the trench coat from that chick with the prosthetic arm from bfv and gave it to Lis

[obsidian tide]

It is a free pass. Play matches to access, unless that failed.

[soft token]

well my steam account it linked to EA acc A and my bf2042 is on ea acc B

[unique anchor]

Fuck it I’m playing 2042 I just smoked and bored 🏃‍♂️💨

[echo stone]

I downloaded 2042 again because the withdrawal from the beta is too strong all I kept thinking about was battlefield when I was at work today lol this will keep me good until the game comes out

[obsidian tide]

Oh, then 2042 progress is tied to Account B. A separate 2042 version tied to the Steam Account may tie rewards to Account A.

[soft token]

yeah, Ill have to rebuy the game on account A

[unique anchor]

I surprisingly feeling okay not playing the beta cause I had my fill and I’m excited

[regal oyster]

2042 cant get past the loading screen on pc anyone know how to fix it?

[echo stone]

I feel that same here I downloaded again so I can get the muscle memory

[ocean parrot]

Well well well guess who unlocked the AEK

Is it as broken in 2047 as in 4?

[obsidian tide]

At close range.

[nova crane]

Y’all is the menu music just naturally near-silent in this game? I have music at 100 but I barely hear anything in the menu

[drowsy rose]

Anyone else not get the Lynx unlocked after the beta???

[echo stone]

Same

[drowsy rose]

Wack

[short edge]

huh

[sand gyro]

2042 maps r soulless

[short edge]

tanks feel like race cars

[sand gyro]

thats what they look like lmao

[arctic grove]

the problem with 2042 maps is its all flatland variations and the game constantly spawns you in the open meaning you have increased chances to just insta die

any recommended assault weapon for multi kills ?

[radiant talon]

No clue sadly

Just gimme my anti-material rifle dammit 😭

See I just want the gun lmao 🤣

I main AT rifles on a daily basis Ima be a menace to the enemy team

[obsidian tide]

It is known.

[lilac dust]

I just realised why they have an incendiary grenade challenge. They had flame throwers in the real iwo jima days. So they basically want everybody to be throwing those nades to simulate as if the map was getting torched by flamethrowers. Genius DICE

[obsidian tide]

For now, see if other music tracks can be played via Audio, and changing the Music Package setting.

[maiden cape]

Hey yo I just lost my account on Battlefield 2042… I have 200h+ on this game but when I log in I am lvl 1 ?!

[gleaming spire]

sorry, just have to restart again from the bottom

start grinding

[hollow plinth]

Damn everyone just got kicked out the match rip

[dark narwhal]

Anyone having issues with xbox party chat and playing 2042? It's not staying connected playing with my bf and our friend.

Also how does this battle pass work? I played a match, but nothing clicked for completing the quests or whatever you wanna call them. 🤔

[maiden cape]

I lost my skins that I have paid… 😭

[echo stone]

If anyone wants to squad up, I’m gonna be in VC playing conquest 128

[tacit peak]

is this bf2042 update good chat

does it fix the game basically

[hollow plinth]

I saw the light of victory and then boom match ended everyone kicked sad way to go out

Idk if that's normal never had that happen

[daring orchid]

would have preferred if Iwo Jima was instead included for BF6

[radiant talon]

I mean the game has been in a decent state for a while… Iwo Jima is definitely the best map by far though

[obsidian tide]

Could just be a glitch. Is Controlled Folder Access On in Windows Security?

[daring orchid]

seems kinda useless to have a new map so late in the game

[tacit peak]

i still see so much hate online and people shitting on it

[nova crane]

I think it has to do with me having had the war tapes setting on?

[maiden cape]

I am on PlayStation 5

[radiant talon]

Now see I’d rather them remake Seige of Shanghai for that

[daring orchid]

shit these portal maps shouldve arrived with regular map updates

[obsidian tide]

No.

Iwo Jima 2042 version, vehicles, weapons, Free Pass that also has unlocks for BF6, and so on.

[daring orchid]

but nope 2042 was being fixed this entire time

[obsidian tide]

Oh. Dunno, backend issue?

[nova crane]

Strange that it would affect menu music though

[radiant talon]

Yesss I got the Lynx finally unlocked!

[remote canopy]

How? I played the Beta but i didn't get it

[daring orchid]

i remember when there was leaks that 2042 portal was gonna included Metro
Locker
Wake Island
Siege of Shanghai
Arica Harbor
Caspian Border

prob ended being fake leaks or disaster of launch scrapped the plans

[elfin tulip]

any news about potential steam sale of bf2042 soon? dont really want ea launcher but its 90% cheaper there

[sleek drift]

Guys. Whats the gun in 2042 more similar to m4a1 in bf6 beta?

[civic anchor]

m416

[sleek drift]

Thanks man

[civic anchor]

or the aek 971

both bf3 weapons

[sleek drift]

Oh ok. Thanks

[indigo portal]

AEK and MTAR have the same 900RPM, but do slightly less damage. in terms of TTK the guns closest would be the PBX with CQB ammo with the same BTK and RPM, being an SMG has similar mobility, but less accuracy than the M4 from BF6. BF6s TTK is higher so its hard to find guns that behave the same

[naive geyser]

same here, map is too big for 64 players

[round berry]

thoughts on the beta
