There was a portal mode that someone made where everyone was operator locked and friendly fire was on called "clone wars" or something like that and I got a good laugh from it

What the gently caress is this unable to load persistence data error. I got into matches fine this morning and now I can't play even after restarting and turning off crossplay. Anybody have a fix?

No fix, just keep trying. BF comms Twitter account confirmed it is a server-side issue and they are working on it. A few hours ago it was not working at all, for anyone. Now it works intermittently.

Folded like a bitch when I heard positive things, of course, plus it was discounted, but turns out it runs pretty poorly on my 3070 despite defaulting to Ultra @ 1080p. DLSS makes it run worse somehow and Raytracing is :lmao:. Is there a good settings guide out yet that isn't "Turn everything to potato for max FPS"?

Played all afternoon. The Discarded map runs like hot garbage for me but everything else seems smooth. Lots of persistence errors. Just have to keep queuing until it works. Breakthrough is a real meatgrinder as expected. I'm really loving playing Falk with an ammo box. The heal pistol is surprisingly good at keeping your front line up. I hate the first AR and it's recoil now and just stick to the DMR mostly.

I'm really annoyed they didn't just go with the BF4 method of hold R to pick up kits. I'm still picking up weapons when trying to revive at times. Game is rough but very good.

Not sure if it's intentional or not, but hopefully it is because I don't know how the hackermans is supposed to be useful otherwise. You can hack things through walls as long as you manage to keep your cursor close enough to it.

Turning off cross play fixed all my persistent data errors. I can only assume whatever servers they’re trying to use for cross play data is extra on fire from launch.

i played a round of breakthrough after getting a million server errors trying to connect to all-out-warfare

the AA missile launcher is now my main gadget

every motherfucker on earth is in the air in this game

i used every single one of my AA missiles, and when i could resupply i would use every single one of them again



also P.S. the portal poo poo is real real good. i played several matches of 1942 and it was kickass

I was just playing and, midmatch with no warning, I got dropped to the main menu.

It was as if the game crashed, but it didn't actually fully crash. I just got dropped on the menu screen.

Anyone else experience this?

Just had a match that was just non-stop amazing action, but we killed three enemy teams before extracting. Tried to extract on the first ride out but we missed it by less than a second. It took a few rounds to understand the mechanics but once it clicks it really does. There's no reason to have one player dedicated to locating data drives at all times and the journalists who were reporting that are just bad.

Vehicles are a little OP against actual players until they start purchasing rocket launchers but the AI will blow you up.

Was this with a squad on comms or with randos and silent, cuz I feel like coordination is key in that game mode, given the ping system isn’t as robust as like an apex/etc

This was with a random squad as I queued solo. Although yes comms will be very important, and I was very lucky to get a squad that just knew when to push and flank together without having to say it.

Not played HZ myself (and I'm worried it will die quickly without ingame VoIP for random squadding up), but most of the streamers that I watch have been playing today, and apart from annoyance at the AI, they seem to be having fun, and it is entertaining to watch. A few more QoL improvements needed for sure though.

After a decade and a half I figured I should give multiplayer shooters a try again. Did I step through a portal to hellworld, or in what dimension is ditching server browsers actually a good thing? So you join games randomly now or what? (It's still downloading.)

It's all matchmaking, so yes, essentially random. It's actually a legit annoying decision, like I can understand it for a battle royale like COD warzone or whatever, but doing it for a battlefield style game where you have different maps and teams and game modes etc is just frustrating.

The only browser that is in the game is for the portal mode, but that's 99% xp bot farms atm and no actual interesting games, resulting in using the matchmaker (which is fine in portal as there are only 2 maps per 'mode' (1942, bc2, bf3) anyway).

Anybody managed breakthrough on the not hourglass, kaleidoscope, or orbital yet? No matter how many times I requeue I keep getting these maps, wondering if the other maps even have breakthrough on them.

I've had some very fun matches on Breakaway. Running across the ice to cover or running along the bridge to try and get to the oil rig is intense. Or just drive a tank across the bridge.
