I thought I'd give it another attempt and now I can't even connect to the game.

For a game that they decided to make online only, it's a shambles

Got a game in, went back to menu, game crashed. Wont even launch after the easy anti cheat screen now.

So many people getting crashes

I bet they all had a little bet within their team today at what time the servers would go down.

Also, early days but due to the 'specialist', the game has turned into a lone wolf experiences with little to no squad play.

It's just a big map with 8 different locations to play TDM run and gun

It's all good fun isn't it.

Hahaha

I'm finally in, what a disaster this is turning out to be so far

 

[Techen]

Been playing for the past 5-6 hours since launch, Enjoying it a lot. Portal is fun and 2042 is a blast.

3060 and a 12600kf running at around 100-130fps

Had a quick go, pretty good! Crash and reboot in EA app, but runs ok from Origin.
Daft question but does 10 hour trial work on time played basis, not from when you first play?

let me know what fps you get on the 980

Looked forward to getting stuck into it tonight.

Can’t even get to the main menu.

Refund requested.

 

[Delvis]

Yes but it's affecting stock clocks as well... Not just me either, the XBOX and Playstation is partially affected, as are AMD GPU's

It might do on other systems but not every system is the same

time played

 

[Born_2_Kill_83]

Been playing since 830am, went down an hour ago for a break now can't get on, oh well

2042 and Portal are great, 2042 a nice new experience to grind away at, Portal just lovely playing all the old stuff again in the latest engine, loving it all so far. Hazard zone is a bit meh, they need to make a reason to play it - such as unlocking cosmetic's.

Performance its pritty bad, 3840*1600 on a 3090 maxed out I struggle to keep above 60fps, feels worse than the beta though some maps are worse than others, Orbital could have been an easier map to run.

time played

Thx

Played a round of rush on Acia
harbour. Just as fun as I remember BC2 being however you can't do any attachments which took the shine off quickly.

was getting between 90-100fps with everything set to ultra, DLSS - Performance and ray tracing off.

i7 9700k @ 4.8Ghz, 16GB Ram, RTX3090
And 3840x1600

 

[syks]

Played for a couple of hrs this morning but not tried since, so far no crashes for me, performance isnt great though, i am getting 60fps to 70fps depending where i am and whats going on @1440p on mostly high settings with a couple of things turned to medium.

Just played a 64 player match and was getting 65fps on low to medium, 1080p... Perfectly playable and looked fine.... Doesn't compare to the RTX 2070 though which I'll be playing on next week
