Agreed but it does do a really good job of notifying you of map changes, which is important because THERE IS NO FULL SIZE MAP

Pressing M is supposed to pull up the map, according to key bindings.


I keep Pressing B and picking a vehicle but only once has it let me choose where to call a vehicle in :shrug:

Literally unplayable to entirely suspected 'cannot connect to EA servers' errors
I've found that it is often unable to connect to EA servers if windowed or alt-tabbed, but if fullscreen and kept on the loading screen it usually does. Weird.

Yep heal only. So mostly useless. I guess you can heal others without carrying a healbox, but the limited ammo and the difficulty in actually hitting your teammates nixes that.

She does have the best dialogue when making big jumps in the buggy though, so still worth picking.

Yep it's supposed to but it does nothing.

Pressing B, clicking once on a vehicle, and then clicking again on the ground works for me, but it has to be within a specific radius from you and any obstructions, including trees. Too far or too close and the whole green ring of spawning doesn't appear at all, so you have to do it in a fairly open area.

TLDR:
Getting an unknown error when matchmaking? Servers are full.
Getting a QR code when you have EA Play? They're working on it, contact EA Help if you want to confirm early-access eligibility
EMP Blast effect continuing after death? Disconnect and rejoin server. Should be fixed in final release.

Cross-Platform Squads currently disabled
PS5 Adaptive Triggers support not fully developed
Commrose not enabled - hit Q or RT to ping stuff
HDR disabled on PC, should hopefully be back for release
Voice Chat disabled, should be back in final release
Xbox Gameplay Recording bugged, fixed for final release

I just tried playing today after preloading, and I'm getting an unable to connect to servers error. But, also, I can't see a mouse cursor or anything on the screen and all I can do with the keyboard is select close or retry. Enter doesn't do anything. Escape doesn't do anything.

edit: got in and can use the mouse now, but only after getting to the play select screen.

I know it's a beta so I really don't care about the bugs tbh I just think they're funny. But I think I got my FPS fill while revisiting BF4 earlier this summer lol.

Haven't tried the Beta yet but my understanding was the intention is the Revive on the gun SHOULD still work but only close up, no more range component to it because it was broken as gently caress from a gameplay component. If that has been removed then yeah she's worthless, but a quick, full health revive would be worthwhile.

Runs like poo poo on my 2080, when I was able to play briefly earlier before rebooting in an effort to make the piece of poo poo run worth a gently caress

Beyond the bugs and bad ui decisions.

Is the US plane just flat out better due to the fact it can hover? I was crushing any air fight by just hovering and gunning people down.

Very inconsistent performance for me, it's hard to tell if it's lag related or what but it's all over the place on a 3080ti/3900X. Definitely get a bit of that sliding around feel that everyone is talking about. Also are all the sounds after dying supposed to sound weird and glitchy? The menu mouseover sound fx are one thing but I hear my person yelling for a medic and it's all scratchy like my headphones are hosed up. Pretty sure this is an intentional decision but man it's kinda bad.

Gameplay seems fun though. I like the grappling hook, calling in tank drops is sweet, the attachment system seems neat although it feels maybe a little too easy to switch your attachments on the go? I get putting a silencer on or off on the run but changing the barrel out on your gun in the field depending on what the situation requires is kinda weird.

I've got a stock 2080 as well, and yeah it's not great. Same settings as BFV and it drops to 40-50s around the top of the map.

It's a shame the technology doesn't exist to allow you to reliably see anything on the spawn screen, or switch away from a gun for an entire round (this just happened to me, I was stuck with the vector equivalent for an entire map no matter what I tried to do), or to reliably rez people, or to have any idea what you're doing wrong when you fire at someone and everything misses

Got a couple rounds in early - robodog owns. Game is janky as gently caress on series x - glitching and tons of animation bugs.

Otherwise seems decently fun so far, Conquest still the worst game mode. Breakthrough 128 players please.

Played one round over lunch, movement definitely does feel weird and the graphics don't impress me nearly as much as BFV but it seems like good fun so far. Pretty much just ran around shooting people and grappling hook zooming everywhere.

Played a couple rounds with an RTX 3080 Ti. Got 110 FPS at ultra quality 1440p. Turned it down to High quality, got 110 FPS. Medium, 110 FPS. Didn't try low, but I have a feeling I know how that would've went. Weird.

Mine got better after rebooting, but still not great. But it did seem like changes to graphics settings didn't do anything. My CPU isn't working at all either, hovering at about 50 degrees. Even on max though at 1440p, something still looks kinda off to me.

I'll give it the next two days but considering cancelling the preorder. Not much to get excited about so far.

I've really fucked it. Have I fucked it?
Had really variable FPS earlier in the day, but maybe something changed server side, or I found some magic settings, but now was getting steady 120FPS on high/ultra mix (5900x - 12-core CPU and RTX 3080). But somehow doesn't seem very smooth at all times.

There is a lot of jank, and the hitreg seems very iffy at times (I hope they increase bullet velocity across the board), but there is enough to make me happy. BF gonna BF and Dice gonna Dice y'all.

One thing I find funny is when I kill an obvious bot, but it turns out to be a real player.

I'm loving it but how the gently caress do you upgrade guns/get attachments? I thought I read that the beta would have everything unlocked? I only get the option to choose one gun of each type in the selection screen and when I pull up the attachment thingy it won't let me select any of the others? How does this work?

Just got a round in on PS5. Overall it's pretty fun. Kinda janky, but not too bad. My biggest gripe so far is I can't see what the controls are in the options menu. For some inexplicable reason helicopters ascend and decend with the left stick and I hate it. Give me my og bf3 helicopter controls plz. There's no way to tell what I'm changing a single thing to unfortunately.

How can we lose so much more than we had before


lol this happened at one point with Need for Speed Heat on the Xbox One. Basically it is what they say, if you have an external usb device plugged in, the controller doesn't initialize correctly or some bullshit. Of course for me, it was a hinderance because I was using an external hard drive to get around the Xbox One's slow rear end 5400 rpm drives, so I couldn't just disconnect the device. It took them a month to fix it. Good to know that this is apparently a Frostbite thing, because of course it is :dice:
