Had a few plays over the past couple of nights, BFBC2 and BF3 are awesome really enjoying the portal stuff.
I do however have an annoying stutter lag issue when swapping from zoomed in to normal anyone else have or know a workaround for this?

Isn't that cute

The rush mode is a bit more enjoyable but still have to deal with the underlying flaws of the game. I might buy it for bargain bucket price if they ever get it up to scratch.

Is there a patch due today or did I imagine it?

Usually Thursdays, same as Warzone.... Annoyingly

Awesome.. almost worth the money just for this alone

Hitreg is still knackered, on target shots and nothing... no hit marker. Meh! I'm trying to have fun with this but honestly i just can't right now.

Hitreg is being looked into and they know it's not working right

Is the hitreg issue carried over to the portal maps/modes? I haven' tried portal yet since im waiting patiently for them to fix everything. The more i try to play it in its current state the less i want to try to enjoy it.

Have had a bit of dodgy hit reg on portal but no where near as bad as the main game, rush and the conquest in portal are actually awesome, i uninstalled the game without trying them, re downloaded and now having great fun playing in portal

How are you getting into games? I tried looking last night and there were hardly any servers with people playing?

I'll check again later,

Dont go to server browser, instead click on the actual tile of the game mode you want to play

Cool, I'll give it a go later, 128 player sucks so i'll see if this has any redeeming features!

Glad I dodged this one. Always bought pre release with all the dlc passes but dipped out in dlcs in last few versions and took a wait and see with this one after V.

Franchise as was is rip imo. Could find a new place in the market but doesn't scratch the BF itch of old. Was always my fear since EA bought out DICE.

Improvements to bullets hit registration consistency.
Balance changes for bullet dispersion and recoil
Further balance changes to Ground Vehicle 30mm, 40mm, and 57mm Cannons to reduce their effectiveness against infantry
A fix for a rare bug where a player could appear invisible to enemies
Fixes for several bugs related to Grenades and Launchers
Improvements to the menu flow for Xbox players to make it easier to opt-out of Cross-Play
Multiple audio improvements to enhance your overall sound experience, focused on clarity, distance and directional perception

There are ramifications for EA buying out DICE, BF2042 does seem to be typical 'games as service' shooter rather than DICE's latest creation. I like the game overall and will play it, but even from the perspective of someone who will play any BF game it seems like a misstep.

Great start this evening, game is now crashing when clicking on "SOCIAL"

 

[gettothechopper]

another patch out tomorrow

the rooftop business makes sense but why would you ever go up there now?

 

[Neil79]

I've never played such a crash happy game as this for a long time! If it isn't my mates crashing out from a server with a CTD it's me being unable to load the game because of a CTD!
