Was on yesterday on EU servers and they were back to normal, certainly not rubber-banding like they were.

Mixed bag for us last night, some very laggy some no issue. I have a distinct feeling that the issues occur on most maps when there are a large number of players (and gas/explosive spam) in one portion of the map. The new 3 flag russian map seems dire when everyone is fighting over B, however one of the large open maps we played on where the teams were running the magic roundabout seemed fine.

Just started playing this for the first time today. What's up with the FPS in the cut scenes of the single player campaign. I'm getting 22 FPS, then it jumps up to 100 when the gameplay starts. Is this this same for everyone and/or is there a way to fix it?

Suez was terrible too, when there were about 50 people fighting over B

Yeah C and B. but we were beating them back slowly so it was whole team vs whole team + smoke, gas, AT rockets taking down buildings, grenade spam etc etc..

The last few days on the servers I've played on (Russian maps) server performance seems to be fixed.

The amount of cheating that goes on ruins a lot of servers for me ! I wish they'd make the maps a bit more open too, so a sniper could sneak out to the edge and snipe in more easily / without being spotted ! Bring back the mega maps of 1942 !

Anyone having problems since the windows update today? I've had 2 runtime error crashes related to my 17.9.1 drivers and DX12 and one occasion where the screen went black but the game kept running. Might not be windows related but it was running fine before the update...

Still very laggy imo, its very obvious when you're driving a vehicle and watching it move along in third person, its moving along then seems to go sluggish for a bit then goes back to normal. Trying to repair the repair circle resets itself 2-3 times, getting hits on other vehicles you see it hit but it doesn't register all the time.

The US servers are Borked now too, it was unplayable last night.

lolstomp games of rush last night. Steamroller attack followed by flawless defense. The artillery barrage is OP against camping snipers.

There's a rumor that incursions invites will be going out early next week.

Edit: Oh turns out it's not a rumour:

A week or so ago, I posted a PSA announcing that the initial matchmaker will be a very crude implementation. Since then, some things have changed. Basically, the matchmaker turned out to be TOO crude to even work reliably.

We came to the conclusion that rather than investing more time in polishing a turd (yes, that is how crude it was), we prefer to spend that time on getting the actual matchmaker available earlier.

This means that for the initial drop of the Closed Alpha, there will be NO joining through a matchmaker. Instead we will have a temporary server browser. It will not be a perfect experience, we know that, but it will be better than the alternative.

We're not looking for feedback on the server browser, as it will hopefully be gone soon.

Closed Alpha invitations should go out sometime next week.

So squading up will be possible in the alpha

No automatico and no hellriegel..... that's me stuffed then

I hope they fix the save progress for the extra weapons most of mine advance so far then stop.

Done a repair then a re-install of BF1 but no jo

Ahh, the Hellriegel....what can I say, it's the only way to die! (Many, many times, short range, long range, any range.)

Latest CTE patch notes are up, thank goodness they've added an option to disable Chromatic Abberation & Film Grain...

When is the new weapons balance dropping to the public servers?

Its practically impossible now to fly a plane without half the friggin server blasting away with lmg's, all because dice added some retarded achievement for taking a plane out with one. :rolleyes:

Pilots coming from bf2 to bf2142 had to learn this the hard way. In bf2 helicopters were practically immune to ground fire so just hovered about racking up kills. In bf2142 very different, trying the same approach meant a very quick death so pilots learnt to use terrain and proper tactics. The same is true for bf1.

The difference is lmg fire against airplanes was relatively small until dice added this achievement, now it seems like half the players on each team are laying prone spamming lmg fire into the air.

DarkHorizon472 · 18 Sep 2017 at 16:37

Fly low and fast using scenery as cover, seems the fly high and circle approach is now a lot riskier.

If it were up to me it would be even harder to fly planes and keep them alive
