So those people that paid a bit extra to get a week's head start weren't really getting a head start at all, they were just duped into paying for the pleasure of beta testing an unfinished product.

To be fair it is pretty fun bugs and all. It is classic BF anarchy in Conquest mode.

Its madness on foot in Conquest, as mentioned total anarchy at times, no team work, free for all mayhem, my goal in life is to take down choppers. :cry:

Its not crashed since I installed latest nvidia drivers. Not sure its as good as previous games, nowhere near, but its "ok".

the biggest issue for me is the 10 cutscenes to get in/out of matches...

Yeah, those five seconds really do my head in

but its not 5 seconds?

its
30 seconds for the ship crap
25 seconds for flying in via helicopter
After match
40 seconds for end round screen
25 seconds for picture with your squad
Then another screen to click play again

and it cant help with loading as 4/5 is real-time they just swa fortnight & thought we got do one better...

Only one I find that takes time is the post match one showing your xp.

The ship one is part of the game loading for the first time so really doesnt bother me

Have reluctantly given up on Portal as I am not getting any badge progress/bonus so levelling is very slow compared to Warfare (have had this "at the cap" message on Portal for nearly the whole week - I am only level 19 so its not like I have been xp padding or anything.

Lmao look at Tombstone, living the dream

turbot1984 · 18 Nov 2021 at 19:18

I wish it was something as spectacular as that but unfortunately all I am really doing is playing the games that I enjoy and not playing the games that I dont. Which is why you see me often in threads of games that I am enjoying and never see me in threads of games that I dont (ie. you see me in this thread but you dont see me in the Halo Infinite thread), just simple logic really, though if you want to see it as some guru-esque dream to be admired rather than basic logic then thats ok with me

Well what a difference a gun makes. Switched to a SMG and I can actually kill people now.

Who'd have thunk it.

Just checked the PROFSAVE_Profile file in documents and noticed that GstRender.Dx12Enabled is set to 0 isn't this a DX12 title so why is it disabled?

NZXT30 · 18 Nov 2021 at 19:51

Anyone excited for the floodgates to open tomorrow? There will be an epic amount of salt and craziness. I hope Dice and EA are ready.

Have you tried changing it to 1 and seeing if it improves fps? ive seen vids where people say its helped but not tried it myself

chroniclard · 18 Nov 2021 at 20:12

Spent an entire conquest match trying to kill one chopper, failed. Lock on, flares/flies off, comes back, lock on, flares/flies off. Seriously annoying. :cry:

I have always been a player who likes to go round the back and flank opposition. Totally impossible now. Game is a total cluster bomb.

Nothing more satisfying than being held at the bottom of the stairs in Metro (BF3) by the entire enemy team, then charging up the stairs with smoke and making your way all the way to their spawn and capping without them even realising.

NIce. Does feel better.

I think that dx12 thing is a placebo, the game can't possible run on anything other than DX12 because it's a native DX12 game, I think that's leftover config from BFV.

Is Metro back? That would be good as 128 player lol
