*** Battlefield 1 ***

[HazardO]

yeah went full ham with an assault class gun a while back, got my first MVP. It defo makes a big difference, but then next round same gun went negative k/d lol - it's so hit and miss from one round to the next

Some of this can be explained by current bugs.

Some animations will have dodgy hit boxes associated with them.
Apparently if you spawn on a horse, when you get off you still have an iron chest plate so you had when on the horse so you can sponge body shots.
General BF lag.
Invisible barriers around partially destroyed assets

I've had some truly shocking rounds KD wise

With the game being so casualised now, I wouldn't worry about k/d or any stat for that matter, even winning... Just play it to have fun and for the trolls/lols

You can respawn in 5 seconds, it seems a bit pointless to ask for a revive

They need to make the respawn much slower really to encourage medics.

On this subject, holding space to respawn quicker makes no difference as you just sit on the deploy screen for longer. So no matter what you do you will respawn after tha same amount of time.

Problem is 95% of players think that holding space means they can respawn quicker so no one asks for a revive / there is less time to perform a revive..

Can confirm this, I had the Cavalry carbine and chest plate after I horse-dropped(?), took some huge hits from the machine gun hero and didn't die, was very surprised as I charged him on foot and killed him with a melee, wasn't until I saw my body at the death screen that I saw the chest plate.

Im still loving it, just having loads of fun with it.

I do still have a few criticisms but I can live with them or adapt to them, however I would say the single biggest annoyance I have as it stands is the positional audio.

I've mentioned it before in the thread but its driving me nuts that I hear people around me when there is nobody there. Normally when I hear footsteps or a gunshot or that equipment rustling noise I can turn to it and spot the person but the positional audio seems to be out of whack on this and I will hear a gunshot from right behind me , out in the middle of the desert with nobody anywhere near me. Sometimes I will hear the respawn noise and theres nobody around me and this morning I even heard a plane fly from left to right over my head and there was no plane there.

Its almost like its playing the positional audio relative to everyone in my squad, so I am hearing stuff thats nowhere near me. I'm hoping its just a beta glitch.

Is it down again!?!? Getting unable to connect to server?

 

[soundb0y]

Had a go for an hr or so last night and it seemed.... alright. That's about the most I can say for it at the moment.

Also after the travesty that was battlefront there's no way I'll be paying £105 for premium again, still debating on buying it at all actually.

Managed to get in....

Starting to really like the game now I have better guns....

How does one level up the individual classes (to unlock more weapons)?

I'm Level 17, but Level 0 on all 4 classes

 

[V_R]

Its bugged for now, fix is incoming apparently.

Theres a really bad bug regarding your class leveling, that the dev's know about and are apparently going to patch.

I seen xfactor crying about that last night because a guy killed him around 3 times with that chest plate on. Thought he was going to have to break out the Kleenex at one point. Would it really be considered a bug though? When you spawn in a plane you have the plane garb on if you parachute out so why should Calvary be any different?

They level up as you use them, but there's a bug at the moment whereby only your first round on a server will increase your class rank. So at the moment you should leave the server after each round (which is a pain if it takes an hour to get back into another).

You can unlock weapons,gadgets and vehicle loadouts using the war bonds you have earned here..

Edit: beaten to it..

But you can then start using the weapons and gadgets for your standard class as well can't you? Surely you should be one or the other not both?

The whole pilot/tanker/cavalry class thing has confused me. I can always get into a tank and drive off no matter what class I am. Am I still a tanker when I get out?

probably not a bug per se but a side effect of that change that makes you keep your equipped kit even when you leave your "vehicle"

It will most likely be changed as people will just make a point of getting on a horse and off again to gain extra armor.

I think I only got XP in one game (my first) that I played ... none in any others. Needless to say I've played in many servers ... -_-

Another annying bug I've had a few times. Driving around in a jeep or tank when it suddenly and mysteriously vanishes. I'm not sure if I've got out and then it's de-spawned or whether it's just de-spawned and dumped me on foot.

You're not alone with that, been a good few reports of that happening on Reddit too.


E:

Known Performance Issues and Glitches

General framerate drops
- Possible fix on PC: set scale resolution to 42%
Crashing
- The latest nvidia drivers (372.70) are reported to reduce crashing
Audio becomes distorted or cuts out. Affects all audio including announcer.
If you select to spawn in a plane but it fills up before you spawn in, the player spawns on the ground but still with the pilot class.
In-game menu slow to load and laggy on Xbox One
Vehicles will occasionally disappear while you are inside them
Ammo/health pouches clip through the ground and disappear
Stuttering issues; seems to be primarily on PC
Older Radeon GPUs will not allow the game to be played because new drivers are not released for them
- Possible fix: This worked for some players during the alpha. Involves editing the registry key for the driver.
DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_REMOVED error stating the graphics card is crashing. Has been prominent in previous Battlefield games as well.
-Possible fix: try rolling back the drivers, which has worked for some users in the past
-Possible fix: if you have an overclocked card, underclock it to whatever the standard/vanilla factory clocks are for that model.
Class/medal progress isn't being recorded -Fix: Leave the server after every game in order to get accurate stat tracking. It's a known bug.
Select fire icon is not displaying, even when alternating between full auto, semi-auto, or burst

I've seen a couple of people mention that bug, not had it happen to me but it is one that I've seen mentioned

 

[adam98150]

It's not letting me buy stuff. People keep mentioning buying gear on battlelog how do I do that exactly?

Yup, I think they did it to prevent people from spawning in vehicles and using them as taxis, great idea for the aircraft but no ground vehicles.
