Done it last night with no issues, though had to do some reg-edit renaming for the amd drivers as it required a specific version to launch and last night they weren't available for vega based gpus.

Do you reckon you'll upgrade your GPU if this game needs it?

I kinda get why they've got with 4 man squads, it devides into 32 in the ideal worth you won't have players don't have the option of a squad. But the world isn't ideal and we all know people will be playing solo or in twos with squads locked etc. Should be 6 imo.
Or give us a server browser so we can atleast find the servers our friends are playing on

In the event they held it was 32 v 32 but they didnt specify how high it goes. As its now 2025 I'd like to start seeing 128 v 128 becoming the norm in these sorts of games

If they are going 128 Vs 128 I hope the maps are better designed than 2042. All I did on there was run a marathon get to a point die, rinse and repeat.

I got my key, fired it up and then fixed the secure boot thing, fired it up again now in a queue , was over 20,000, now 15,260, is this LIVE now, thought the pre beta access was tomorrow
Hopefully it's kept at 64p max (32v32). 128 just felt like the wrong direction in 2042, the maps in that game were already pretty tedious but they had to make them massive to accomodate those player numbers.
On top of that you've got to then make ways for them to get around (no chance 128 players want to walk across a giant map) and that then has an impact from a technical side. Vehicle balance in bigger player counts is also then a challenge with respawn rate and even more people running AA - but you can't then buff the vehicles too much.
64 players is perfect for BF.
Nope can just get into the menus and settings. A lot of eager people like myself and i expect they have limited capacity until release.
It is tomorrow, theres just THAT many people who just want to get in now and check their settings. I'm expecting the servers to be an absolute mess tomorrow, they have no doubt vastly underestimated how many people will be logging in tomorrow.

lol a queue to get to game settings, been waiting 20mins and down to 13,000, going to be crazy tomorrow
Just saddens me that BF1942 came out 22 years ago and 2 decades later, we're still on the same player counts. Should be pushing the envelope more imo
doubtful they have underestimaed it, there is over a million people that signed up for BF labs and they all have early access, as well as twitch viewers etc. Yeah it will be a mess but thats probably more around the infrastructure not being able to handle the traffic.
i had to update my Nvidia driver to launch the game, cant remember now what the minimum version is but i hadn't updated my driver since april if i remember correctly.
loved it as a game.
I don't think player count is the way to push the envelope though. For me, more doesnt mean better.
i dont get the view of more people = better experience/ more fun or whatever you want to call it.
