Anyone else experiencing a bug where weapon attachments don't unlock in your collection screen until after you restart the game? Most annoying thing I've encountered so far.

I havent but the attachment equip screen is so poorly communicated that I have frequently thought I wasn't unlocking stuff. Like, the stuff you have equipped just disappears from the equip menu. Is that it maybe? This game honestly has the worst UI design of any game I have ever played in my entire life top to bottom lol. It's just layers upon layers of bad.

Haven't had a chance to see if future rockets track targets I've locked on to. The smart rockets aka the rockets you just farm some bots in breakthrough until you get the at rockets only lock if they were close to hitting your target but juuuuust miss.

If you're on console, turn off crossplay. I was not having too much fun as I was losing nearly every gunfight, but playing against other consoles early made things feel a tiny bit fairer.

The wildcat is fun on the flat but somehow it can’t climb hills, this make it very frustrating to play on some maps like the one with the rocket launch pad.

Game is OK. The end of round quips are so dumb. Just have the top squad featured like they did top players in Battlefront 2 and have a pose you can choose. Mostly been playing Portal.

I've already been meleed by a dozer shield *through* an ally dozer's shield so something still isn't right. The dozer shield fights at the top of the elevator on Hourglass are pretty funny to watch though.

Pontificating rear end posted:It's worth noting the performance issues in this game are NOT your video card: if you turn on FPS you can see your GPU is pumping out frames but the CPU gets wrecked in 128 player matches. If you play a smaller match you'll get closer to full frames. Dont turn down your video settings because it likely wont matter. If I read the system monitor right, BF2042 uses 10 native/physical CPU cores on my system. So 4 and 6 core CPUs are heavily bottlenecking, and maybe 8 cores without HT might get hiccups.

I have a Ryzen 5900X. That's 12-cores, 24-threads, with a healthy L3 cache. Also have 32GB of 3600MHz RAM which is supposedly the sweetspot for this CPU.

veni veni veni posted:BF is never that great alone, but I have been playing with pubs a decent amount just cause it's new and 2042 is like, next level awful alone to the point where I just feel like I loving hate the game. But the second I get someone I'm chatting with I'm like "nah this is pretty fun" and with a full squad it's tits. Agree 100%. I tried playing a bit by myself during the day and it was zero fun. Like four kills during a round and just spawning and dying immediately over and over. You're basically punished for being round filler. Loaded up with a squad in the evening and went on protracted hovercraft runs and it was transcendent. Just splattering dudes, dueling enemy hovercraft, grabbing conquest points, the works. I had something absurd like 50 assists. Obviously any MP game is more fun with a squad, but for people like me who are now below average at regular gunplay, a proper squad is the only thing that is going to keep you in that vehicle. I do think most of the other stuff like the way progression works and all that is dogshit, but I know from playing Warzone for a while that I never make it to the meta poo poo in seasons anyway, so it's more about having fun with stock stuff.

There are like no portal servers with good ping. Im in Europe... Zero servers doing what I want (BF2042 maps but with just slightly less players). It sucks

My memory is maybe off but was there always such a big delay between mouse movement and crosshair movement in a tank? I feel like there was some of it in BFV but I don't remember it being this extreme.

D-Pad posted:I call this dev syndrome. When the devs are making a game like this they are not playing the same game. When they play they have an entire team playing the "correct" way and all coordinating to boot. No 10 wookies hanging back sniping, teammates always revive and throw ammo etc. Haha that reminds me back in the day of Tribes where the Penny Arcade dudes hated the hell out of skiing and thought it ruined the game while everyone else realized quickly how much of a loving slog it was to have to run everywhere. It made the game so much better. Murvin posted:Holy poo poo prox sensors are so good and rack up points like crazy and I suggest everyone roll with those if you care about that. They are outstanding. Wonder how much they're gonna get nerfed along with the PP. Kazinsal posted:Anyone else experiencing a bug where weapon attachments don't unlock in your collection screen until after you restart the game? Most annoying thing I've encountered so far. Not since I quit back to Exodus as soon as the point total bar fills up. There is fun gameplay here, but it needs polish. The UI and weapon attachment stuff needs a big overhaul, though. There should be more than 8 or whatever loadouts you can save, they should be listed vertically and easily scrolled. They need to be able to be copied. Weapon attachment sets should have their own 'loadouts' as well, so one loadout I can have a gun configured for long range and another configuration of that gun for short range. I know this can be set with the T menu, but sometimes I don't want the same attachments in the same slots by default or I might go with a different setup altogether. The reason the SMG's are overpowered is that, despite how loving big the maps are, for all practical purposes: most gunfights are taking place at a relatively short range. At longer ranges it takes a while for a bullet to get somewhere and with how people can strafe so easily without losing accuracy- it's not worth it unless you have a sniper or dmr. I dunno. Maybe make AR bullets a lot faster or something than the SMG. Also: This game could really use a way to link squads or get multiple squads together in a match.

I downloaded the game Saturday onto my PS4. Bought the gold so I don't have to buy another copy when I get a PS5 but I haven't found one yet so who knows when that's going to be. I still like BF1 better. Missing the cha-ching sound of a headshot and knowing how far away they were, missing the scoreboard, missing the overall sound and the feel. The graphics on this game don't look great but that might be because I'm still on PS4. But this feels better than BFV did for some reason. I like that I can switch scopes on a whim in the field. Here have a video of my pet https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GHxpMiWOFlc edit: Also I love that the sentry gun highlights people for you. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fp_s2RbW_ng CornHolio fucked around with this message at 15:13 on Nov 16, 2021 |

This isn't how the game works. There is a tremendous accuracy penalty for strafing with an AR dmr and sniper. The reason everyone uses the pp is because the bullets go where you are shooting a trick that are have not managed. Sedisp fucked around with this message at 15:17 on Nov 16, 2021 |

It sucks So start up a portal server. Be the change you wish to see in the world! Not surprised there are not many portal servers that are just the main mode with less people. The Dozer fix without a patch is interesting. I wonder how much they can "hotfix" without waiting on patches. That's some cool potential as long as they don't go breaking more things along the way.

I saw some speculation online somewhere that the PC port is broken and utilises only 8 Cores because the consoles only have 8 Cores and they failed to adjust it properly so some/all PCs can't properly use however many cores/threads the CPU has. I have a ryzen 5 2600x with 6 physical cores = 12 threads and it struggles badly. Haven't checked how the individual cores/threads are used though.

I have a fine time playing by myself, but I do wonder if when they add comms if people will actually use them. I would but the community is significantly different than say squad or HLL and I don't think this has really been a thing with BF games. I could try coordinating on Dicord I guess, but I like hopping in and out of games.

So dumb question. If I have another account on my Xbox (my daughters) can I just cheat the trial timer by redownloading it? I think it's locked to the main account vs profile, but I wanted to be sure. I ran through the trial last night...and I really don't want to have to get the gold edition when I can just wait till Friday...but for reasons that's not easy. I don't even mind the lack of levels and xp transferring over. Also I want more poo poo like the tornados and sandstorm. That rules so goddamn much. Hell make it an option for every map that's on portal even. Hot Diggity! posted:Godamn this dumb game is hilarious and fun. Squirrel suit + C4 = bye bye tanks Can't wait for Neebs to start doing that. Squirrel stuff baby. Mr Luxury Yacht posted:I think I can count in one hand the number of times I've seen someone throw an ammo box in this game outside of Portal. Part of the problem is the XP is so goddamn low. Like yeah if you get a ribbon, but just 5XP, I'd rather just spot with the drone.
