——The Official Battlefield 6 Thread——

getting old since beta? it is odd.. I've not played bf since 3 so I thought it was just me but it's broken, something somewhere isn't right. I'm sure it'll be fixed but interesting to see that beta was better.
Haha... well I just can't workout it out... everyone seems to be saying it's perfect

Now don't get me wrong.. I don't have the strongest PC... but beta was so smooth hit reg wise etc. I'm wondering if it's more my end pc spec wise.
 
I have no idea what I'm doing wrong.. really enjoyed the beta..TTK, hit reg etc all seemed super great... now.. emptying a full clip with hit markers to be span on and killed within 4 bullets! I'm getting old.
I'm having the same problems using assault rifles - which is annoying as they are my prefered weapon and the problem is worse when assaulting. On the other hand shotguns and Sniper rifles seem much more reliable, I don't like sniping and using shotuns just feels noobish.

I absolutely agree with you in relation to shotguns... they seem for me at least to be the only gun I don't get completely wrecked with when I'm using it.
 
found something that might explain loads of peoples gripes about bullets not hitting targets if you use non class specific weapons they are designed to be all over the shop accuracy wise

sniper shots on the target range missing ect


Wait. Wut ?

If I use an M4 as a support it’s somehow less accurate than if i were to use it as an engineer ?

read descriptions of class features

Assault gets faster gun switching with assault rifles
Engineer gets better hipfire spread with SMG
Support better run and aim speed with LMG
Recon less sway and faster rechamber with sniper rifles

accuracy and recoil should not be affected, whatever class/weapon combo

Starting to like it a little more now I've unlocked some weapons and upgraded some attachments. Absolutely guy beaming people with one of the SMGs.

Also just got my first nade quad kill.

Every class has signature weapons they have benefits with using, Assault its AR's, Engineers its SMG's Support LMG's Snipers Sniper rifles. If your playing open weapons any class can use any weapon yes but i still think if your using the favoured weapon for the class you get the extra benefits. Im sure its just subtle stuff, like support can gets no movement penalty for running with LMG where other classes do
 
I'm getting reduced performance today after a couple of hours on any settings now,not just overkill

Looked into the User.cfg thing a bit more.
for Intel 265k - and presumably other CPUs where you don't want to use all the cores.

Turn console on in settings, restart game.
Open console (the ` key next to 1)
Run command: Render.DrawScreenInfo 1

This will display the number of threads the game will create.
For the 265k it defaults to 18 threads. It has identified 20 cores and left 2 free.

In the User.cfg you can add these two lines, setting X to however many threads you want the game to use.
The other lines from User.cfg examples spammed all over the internet aren't necessary.
Thread.ProcessorCount X
Thread.MaxProcessorCount X

I tried 16, 12, 8 - and the performance was 140fps (my cap) for all of them.
Using 8 instead of the default 18 brings the cpu usage down from 100% (room=inferno) to ~50% (room=normal).
So that seems like the way to go.

I still need to test numbers between 8 and 12 to see if there's a perfect number where the game just barely becomes GPU limited.
That's for another day.
