I also got my i7 2600k for BF3. Going for the 8 thread CPU seemed like a real extravagance at the time, but it really paid off. BFV runs "OK" paired with a 2060 Super, but I do plan to finally upgrade for BF 2042.

I'd prefer a delay to a fully broken game that could drat the game to the grave before people give it a good chance. They got lucky with BF4, though that was luckily fun as hell even with the server crashes. I just got my first new computer since getting my first proper gaming rig for BF3, so my body is ready.

Sgt. Cosgrove posted:So the recommended specs have definitely increased since first shown. Originally they said 2060 which made me happy since that's what I own, now it's saying 3060. Guess the technical alpha gave them a lot of insight since it ran like garbage. I played it safe -- finally upgraded from my trusty i7 2600k (bought for BF3) and 2060 Super. 5900x paired with a 3080 should be just fine. But this is  of course...

I'm all preloaded (through Steam), and the game even launches something. Crashes to desktop with a driver error. I wonder if that's just because the servers are not live, or whether there will be a last minute Nvidia driver. I have the latest WHQL - any rumours about driver requirements? EDIT: Now it worked, and I got through to the QR code page. Fingers crossed that it goes smoothly tomorrow. Looking at Reddit, there have been problems even getting it to load.

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.

Maybe it's the expanded player base, or maybe DICE got enough stats and stopped reserving many slots for bots, but the game was so much more responsive today. And my server was 100% humans only -- made a real difference. Fighting against multiple people was a real challenge, and really made me more amped for this game. They have to fix the sniping though. Crazy slow velocity and wicked bullet drop -- ends up with a sniping match being two people just testing the drop against each other for ever. The game loves CPU cores, I reckon, because sure I have a 3080, but it seems like I get great performance (110-120 fps) at 1440p (Ultra/High mix) thanks to the 12 cores of my 5900x.

I bought a whole new computer for this game (long time coming obviously, but this was the impetus after not being thrilled with the BFV performance). New computer: RTX 3080 + AMD Ryzen 5900x (12 cores, tiny OC bump) + 32 GB 3600MHz: 110-120 FPS @1440p with a high/ultra settings mix. Now that the open beta started, my son was able to play with my old computer: RTX 2060 Super + i7 2600k (4 cores, 8 threads, overclocked to 4.4GHz, originally bought for BF3 a decade ago) + 16 GB 1333 MHz 30-40 FPS @1080p on low settings. Basically unplayable on my old rig, and the biggest difference I saw was the fidelity especially at longer ranges. I was just unable to see the people I easily spot on my good system. Unless they do a shitload of optimization, I made the right call upgrading now.

Doctor Butts posted:Flying in this game is just so counter intuitive. I don't think I've ever played anything so weird whether with KBM or controller. I felt so slow and lumbering in helis. Then last night I randomly came across WidgityBear's Twitch stream. He was prominent during BF4 as a little bird streamer / YouTuber. Seems he took a long break and is not full-time, but is starting to stream again. He could be very annoying and often hella salty, but drat the dude can fly. And watching him play in the LB in the beta was like watching someone play a different game for me. Gonkish posted:My big question is: do people actually drop ammo? Or is it yet more "I give myself ammo because no one else ever loving will and I'm always out of loving gun food"? I dropped ammo constantly, and if I needed for myself, I would at least try to drop it near a clump of friendlies. But without seeing the points roll in, and your place rise in the leaderboard, it didn't feel the same. I know there are the ribbons, but for some reason getting the ribbons in earlier titles felt more satisfying.

I enjoy the BF launches as everybody is learning the maps and the weapons. There are no max rank players with everything unlocked to ruin your day over and over, and people have not found the meta weapons and best secret spots to farm kills from.

Lube Enthusiast posted:Crying because since it wasn’t mentioned in that 2042 post-beta blog post, the ‘trying to revive someone instead takes their weapon’ issue won’t be resolved at launch/ever Never had this being an issue in BFV. I guess in BFV it is tap E to swap weapons, hold E to revive. They reversed the behaviour from what I understand in 2042, so hopefully it's just a question of changing that muscle memory. Or if they can make it an option.

Stodeh says he's not really feeling Hazard Zone, but this ending was cool and the elation was palpable. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nRzkB0hayig I think with a little polish, it could be a fun mode. I'd rather they added more squads and toned down the AI numbers. And they need to make it more obvious when it is AI.

Played a couple rounds on PC -- really enjoying it. Some UI tweaks still needed, and it's chaotic -- but fun. And this is why I like playing opening day -- chat is active and very positive. Everyone just enjoying the sights and sounds, comparing rigs and performance. Shame there is no all talk, seems team chat only. I left it on the auto settings which stuck it on Ultra. With 5900X/3080, I'm getting 100-150 FPS @ 1440p. On the higher side on an open map. Probably will bump the settings down after I've finished being a tourist. Tons and tons of debris and flying things / weather effects. Had some feels listening to Omar narrating the opening cutscenes. RIP bruva.

Played about 7 hours before the servers poo poo the bed, and really had a blast. Had some real intense moments, and actually enjoy the high playcount due to the chaos of 3-4 squads hitting a point and rolling over the enemy. Chaotic fighting in Hourglass stadium during a full dust storm felt a bit like the desert maps of 2142 mixed with the corridor fighting on the Titan. Soundtrack is a bit overpowering at times, so had to turn it down -- but I do like it. Reminds me of the Tenet movie soundtrack which I really enjoyed, too. I think I mentioned before, but performance has been solid for me. But it should be with my rig -- this game was the reason I finally upgraded. Steady 100+ FPS on Ultra @1440p. 5900X (12-core, 24 threads, nice big L3 cache), 3080, 32GB RAM @3600MHz (supposedly sweet spot for Ryzen). Stuck DLSS on later, didn't seem to make a big impact. I abused the poo poo out of 3D spotting in BF3 and BF4, and was bummed when it was removed from BF1 and BFV, but I got used to it. Now I like to have a run and gun assault build on Casper (AR + med bag), and keep jumping into my drone to spot for my self and check the situation. My other main was the wing suit character. Fun to get around fast. Not 100% figured out how to control it best, but it seems like WASD is the way to glide. I'm looking forward to the patches. I think people maybe forget how big the first 3-4 patches were for BF4. Tons of QoL improvements. LampkinsMateSteve fucked around with this message at 23:18 on Nov 12, 2021 |

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.

I paid extra to play the beta early, and I'm under no illusion that I didn't pay extra to play this "second beta". I'm holding out for a "day 1" patch, but I think the curse of having crossplay is going to make patch timing much worse due to the long console certification times.

I only recently realised about Sundance's multiple different 'nade types... And it's so clunky to change. I wish I could change the order to have the anti-vehicle nades first, as usually a vehicle comes out of nowhere, especially the hovercraft, and I'm caught out trying to select the right nade.

Ah, glad that the rubber banding was a known issue. It was getting bad today. Trip report on the new Nvidia drivers that dropped: Much better than the last set of drivers (that dropped me 30 or so FPS), and slightly better than the drivers before that. Elerion posted:It's weird as gently caress to me that people think being able to make clips of uncommon bugs like this somehow makes the game's launch comparable to BF4, which literally crashed multiple times per session for almost everyone.

Anybody know what is the key bind for descend in the drone? I had this issue in the beta and never bothered looking into it. It just shows as <unassigned> in the onscreen tip, while ascend is space. I tried looking in the vehicle key binds but nothing seemed clear to me. Also, the EMP part of the drone just does not work at all for me. I'm pretty sure it worked just fine in the beta.

Fallom posted:Seriously annoyed that I can't even change squads in this game. I had a match where my squad was busy loving around on the roof of a skyscraper the entire round and I couldn't do anything about it. You can actually change squads, but it is dumb and puts you in a random squad. So you might have to squad hop a few times. In the main squad and players view, you get the option if you select yourself. (I think) That's also where you can mute players in this game that launched without in-game VoIP.

I had to start and restart the game for Steam to properly update my game. Just a tip if you have issues. Also, reposting this if you have the mouse bug (can't move mouse left or right), this fix worked just fine: Open the file PROFSAVE_profile located in user/Documents/Battlefield 2042/settings with a text editor (maybe make a copy first just in case). Look for the lines that start with "GstKeyBinding.infantry.ConceptYaw" and delete all of them
