Unless these maps have a day/night cycle I doubt ray tracing will help that much. You can fake a lot of stuff in relatively static lighting with AO.

Dice has said though this was specifically branched to create this beta, and then polished.

Polish for a beta build is different than polish for a release build.

The sound design all around is garbage, I can't find a setting for the mix that's all around decent

this and the animations are pretty trash for me. i see lots of players ice skating around on one frame of their running animation at like 100-150m

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

reflex, low latency, and reduced buffering will generally lower fps not improve it. it will improve the latency end-to-end though (so your mouse gets to screen faster)

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

DrBox posted:

After I reinstalled the drivers GeForce Experience had jacked all the settings up again, makes sure you double check. It did not really help for me either though.

you don't need DDU anymore, clean install should do the same thing by erasing all local settings you have.

and never install GFE. it's toxic and tries to change so much poo poo it shouldn't. for example it has another option for fxaa that it can apply independently of the one from the NV control panel

Whether you're aware of it or not, complaining about snipers in bf is just code for "I'm not good at the game". I dont recall ever having a sniper pose any kind of serious threat or annoyance, even in hardcore where a shot to the toe is instant death and theres no kill cam. Campers are also always bad so with any kind of awareness at all you can usually outgun them even with an AR.

Whats the go to settings to adjust for best performance gains? Its definitely better than the beta but still not good enough with everything maxed out.

turning down lighting and meshes was what i did to get my cpu a little more room to breathe.

their DLSS also sucks poo poo if you try to use the high performance TAA. everything has the gross glow and texture slide. like it's DLSS 1.0

my wishlist

- server browser with official and unofficial servers
- cool map size reduction tech they used in bf4 to make 32 and 64 player maps
- unify unlocks between such things as two attack helicopter variants
- scoreboard
- more maps (not a complaint really since it just launched, but the ideal would be adding as many maps as bf4 got over a couple years)
- fix whatever is going on with spotting
- fix hit markers not showing up sometimes (seem to notice this on tanks a lot)
- don't matchmake between every match

overall I'm still having a lot of fun with this game

it's also really really stupid that you can't tell it to ignore joysticks. i have to unplug two different peripherals just to play this game because if I don't it snaps my view straight down to the ground

There's been a million of these tweaks for previous Battlefields and pretty much all of them have been snake oil, sorry to say.

lowering mesh quality will probably help for real if it's doing what i think it is. it helped for me. as will lowering the lighting quality if you aren't using ray tracing ao

I think it means that, on their end, some part on the vehicle is showing as red on the display. But what does that do? Who knows. When the propellers of a helicopter are showing as red, you'd think you'd start falling out of the sky - but you don't!

similarly it feels like a rocket to the fan assembly on a hovercraft would lead to some damage, but alas

Has anyone ever gotten a successful takedown in MP? I did it on a bot once, but this game is so finicky. I can stand right behind someone, still, and if they budge even a millimeter the animation doesn't go through and I'm sitting there like an idiot with my knife out getting shot in the face.

I was hoping this was like MW/Cold War, when you hold the button in range and you sort of 'catch them' and do the kill.

I did it exactly once. The opponent was prone and I was at his side.

Okay can someone link a guide on how to play spotter in a vehicle? I can zoom, I can hit the radar thing, and there's another deal on there that I can't figure out and also sometimes I got credit for a spot, sometimes I didn't.

look at thing and press mouse 1 to spot

the second one is a pulse centered on the vehicle that detects infantry i think

this happens if you modify the settings file that is binary and not the text file. probably other ways too, but that's how i did it to myself

the soldier clones also suffer from brain damage since they are serenely quipping after massive bloodshed and refer to themselves as nonpats even though they are clearly fighting for either the us or russia

Isn’t clarifying this the point of the tutorial mission where the nonpat very awkwardly asks the US commander if he has a choice but to join their task force

Getting shot with a SMG at medium to longrange from a parachute. These things are just ridiculous. --edit: I mean, I have the PP-29 unlocked, but I really don't want to stoop to that level.

Do it. Make dice see those absurdly high usage statistics.

I got the close combat ammo for the first LMG last night and it actually makes that gun pretty good. It really lowers the time from the first trigger pull to the first shot which was the weakness. It also ups the ammo to double the amount as normal
