Anybody else run into the bug where a friendly teammate renders as an enemy? No name overlay when aiming at them either.

This is one of those classic BF bugs that has been in a bunch of different BF games now, glad they brought it back again for nostalgia. It's extra infuriating in this game because there is no way to visually tell what team a player is on based on their outfit/uniform.

Sundance can do similar, too. Throw one of her anti-vehicle grenades to scare the pilot into popping flares, then follow up with the actual missiles.

Trying to grind out weapon attachments in multiplayer is a slog, really wish they would add that back into co-op. Going an entire game with 10-12 kills is rough, especially now that the hit marker/bloom does in fact seem to be really really bad and inconsistent. Hopefully it's something they can patch/tweak. You can't really learn and compensate for recoil with any actual skill like in warzone or apex which is a shame.

I also agree the maps are generally a little too big with too much open space, I don't think there's anything they can do to change that except maybe add more capture points and more buildings and cover which I doubt they'll do. Trying to level anything that isn't sniper or DMR is basically futile when all you do is run half the time.

Game is still fun just hoping they planned on early release being a balance beta that they'll hammer out before the holidays hit.

Yeah they need to significantly increase XP and reduce the numbers needed for attachments, 150 shotgun kills for slugs is nuts given that 15 or so kills is a good match for me and I usually top my squad, that’s going to be basically impossible for most people (including me) using buckshot on these giant rear end maps, it makes the shotgun permanently useless, seemingly

The other stuff just seems like a huge grind especially since the SMGs are better than all the assault rifles and DMRs, seemingly

Also five XP for healing is bogus, it should be 15 at least

Remember to disconnect your internet connection after running DDU since windows will automatically try to install the old graphics drivers when theres none installed. Unless you have that turned off or something

Is it still necessary to use DDU? If you choose custom install you can check "Clean install".

Definitely runs better after downgrading, 30-40 fps might be a stretch but in the match I played it did feel smoother.

The trenches of IT can scar a muppet for life
AI in Hazard Zone counts as kills for weapons at least and it seems like my biggest source for kill credit.
Unfortunately the amount of time it takes from being wiped to starting a new game is way too long and the LATV4 completely ruins the game mode. Either it needs to take way more damage from a recoiless or be removed completely.

Think i'll be benching 2042 for a few weeks until they get some patches out. I'm just not having enough fun in its current state to justify playing. Except for the BF3 portal, which actually feels good, but I'd be stuck with only playing two maps over and over.

also under windows in graphics settings you want to disable "Hardware-accelerated GPU scheduling" which has problems with lots of games including bf2042

also obviously for more fps turn off nvidia reflex, any nvidia low latency, and reduce buffering

something is really whack w/ the game balance lol

like 90% of people are going to try out the m5a3 and ak-24 as their first impression and they are absolute trash and you will have a better time using any other weapon

they should be tuning up the rifles to feel like the pp-29 at range (or better) if you manage their pretty big recoil and not just only nerfing the pp-29

I think I might have fun with this game but I might not. I was hoping this would blow COD out of the water because I'm so sick of COD but right now they both have separate but equal problems. I guess I'll never be able to find a fun online FPS. I have this set to be preordered and I'm super on the fence about cancelling it or seeing it through.

Depends on what your issues are with it so far. Safe bet would be cancel pre order and grab a month of EA play to see if it grows on you. For me I'm liking it more and more as I play and excited to see some fixes start rolling in.

I understand the FPS doldrums you're feeling. Halo Infinite multi is rumored to come out as early as tomorrow and that might help you!

I'm giving the game a few more hours of play but this is feeling more and more like a "come back in 6 months" BF. Maybe after 20 years of playing Battlefield games, the scales have fallen from my eyes or some poo poo over "well it's a DICE launch, what do you expect?"after 4+ launches in a row of having to diagnose and edit text files to get the game running right.

I think dice fatigue is very real. Honestly it feels like triple A games in general just launch with problems. And while we can have fun in spite of it, it does feel lovely. Typically they do get better but it sucks that at the height of their popularity they are normally broken messes.

And yet here I am playing...

I think just general video game fatigue exists. Covid kinda feels like an easy excuse, since dice usually fucks up their games but I have to imagine having all these other devs and locations has to gently caress up the release somehow.

It does seem like the Dice leadership is just incompetent. Again they should just shift BF to ripple effect and Dice can either die or make something else.

2042 will probably be pretty deece if they:
  • fix assault rifles to not suck in any niche
  • fix hit reg issues
  • fix performance issues
  • add voip and other in-game comm features
  • make hit marker sounds good
  • maybe add some reason to care about the outcome of the match or add smaller map modes
  • resolve a lot of empty traversal dead space somehow

I like specialists, there is said it. Gamers that like specialists are the most oppressed group.

I'm glad you are enjoying the game, even a bit, Skyarb. Yknow, I played a bit for the first time yesterday and was not really having fun, I was in a poo poo mood though so I think that may have had a part. Also Im not playing with my buds, and randoms are not playing coordinated in my (admittedly short) 1 hour playtime. But drat, I got an a really awesome fight for A in hourglass that made me feel that classic BF intensity and Im much more on board. Game has good bones I am optimistic. I really wish some of the destruction was more robust though - outside of destructible village areas.

Resupply guy rules, portable cover guy also rules.

ALSO NO ONE IS PINGING?? Havent seen a single ping.

Is it just me, or are the graphics crappy? I've played it on the xbsx and a 3070 PC, and it just looks very last gen to me.

Yeah the game can have some great moments playing with friends. And I do enjoy that. Though I feel like with the right group you can always have fun in games even when they are broken. Objectively its wild how many problems there are, especially when you think about how many of the problems this game has were non-issues in previous titles. And when I think of the regressions in some of the features between this and bfv its frustrating.

Specialists are growing on me. I think I do want classes in my hear of hearts but the specialists do let me pretty significantly switch up my playstyle when I am getting frustrated and I do like that.

Yeah for me it comes down to some UI improvements and bugs/performance fixes for the main game.
Tweak the AR recoil/bloom
Improve matchmaking to allow you to join on friends mid match and auto queue for the next round.

After that I'm just looking forward to more maps and game modes. I hope they come out with an official Gungame variant and continue to expand Portal capability.

Ran into a hacker last night, they were floating around Arica rush getting kills with a vehicle LMG somehow, and every kill just showed as some kind of javascript thing like {@}%0 - Light Machine Gun. Was really frustrating and ruined that match for sure

It was probably the recon drone. I don’t remember it having an lmg but it seems to be pretty resilient and is very annoying. One kept killing me with the lmg and it seemed impossible to put it down

So far I haven't encountered any egregious bugs, just some small annoyances. Ive only played a small slice of the game so far though :shrug:. My group and I would absolutely stop playing a game if it was broken lol, but ~~broken is in the eye of the beholder~~. We stopped playing Back For Blood since it was way too unforgiving at veteran and too easy on recruit. Hitreg issues would make me stop playing but I havent felt any yet. I supposed I am lucky.

It is annoying that they removed some QOL poo poo and backtracked on small things that make the game feel better, but :dice:. I never played BFV though so I am not missing whatever was good about the movement. Just let me ping bodies to tell them I can revive them dammit.

I am pumped to try coordinating some of the specialist gadgets with my buds later.
