Battlefield V

jonski

I have a 1080, 16 gb ram and an i7 7700K , and no performance issues so to speak so I'm guessing it's patch related and only effecting some hardware .

jambofc

so the only 2 game modes i play,Domination and frontlines have been removed wtf like:mad:

dream brother

I don't understand why they keep removing content. First it was Rush - which I think was only on there for 2 weeks - now Frontlines.

jonski

I'm guessing they didn't want too many options and wanted to add in Squad Conquest and Mercury only for a limited time so dropped Frontlines ( thinking people will play Breakthrough ) and Domination ( thinking people will play Conquest ) .

It's probably only for a limited time anyway .

More hardware related q - but what would be best upgrade right now to improve BFV...(knowing that its a stuttering mess right now performance wise, but still ain't getting anywhere near the results i'd expect considering the hardware I have...)

I've currently got an RTX2080 , 16gb DDR4 aaand an i5 8600k

...would an 8700k/9700k be a ludicrous upgrade or would there be any value in the easiest option of adding another 16GB RAM while it's somewhat less expensive? Or would it all be a waste of time and I should just hope that a patch miraculously improves performance?

I have a 12 year old i7 930, with 12GB DDR3, and don't suffer any income stuttering. What's your core temps like? GPU's have latest drivers?

Yea, it's a known issue unfortunately with certain combinations of hardware by the sounds of things, so under investigation..hopefully be resolved soon.

Updated BIOS last night and did some overclocking which seems to have err..stabilised things a bit.

But I dunno. Still nowhere near where it should be! That being said, still enjoying the game a ton. Liking what I've seen of Mercury and lookin forward to whatever's coming at EA Play!

Every twat in the game running around with that AT rifle. Would drive you mad.

Yet ye all hunger for hardcore...You say they are running around..so at least they are not camping..

Running was the wrong word to use. The rifle needs to be mounted in order to fire I think. That combined with the majority of players using it is a nightmare.

You will find players going back to their preferred weapons I think, The boys is a rather slow weapon to reload so is easy counterable, plus when moving and using one, it takes an age to hit the dirt and aim...Its the campers who camp inside doors etc which are the bane of the game

Shlippery

Well then.

Akrasia

metro 1945. Awesome.

Some of those maps look really cool. And some of them look like firestorm

Shlippery

8 new maps before 2020, and one of them'll be Iwo Jima.

Future looks good.

Panic Stations

Be getting back into it lately.

Looking forward to some of the new maps over the summer. Delighted to see we're getting the Pacific theater of war and also the M1 Garand!

whiskeyman

Some more nice changes.
It's a good game this.

Lord Nikon

Tides of War for this week was a miserable facepaint. New map is interesting, B is a chokepoint.

Why have they not brought out a balance mechanic for this game.. Played the other night and half my team left and we got annihilated.

Super frustrating and some dodgy patches while the main dev team are on holidays for July. They gotta dig themselves out of a whole again.

Annoying as I love the game but it keeps getting set back..

Anyone seeing half invisible people running around the game the past couple of weeks? Playing on ps4

Spotted that a few times tonight, same PS4, basically a head and webbing running around, no arms body or legs!

Still doesn't beat:



:pac:

New Marita map today for any stragglers or anyone who's been away for a while!

Game feels a lot more stable now with a big patch adding 2 more maps and increasing max rank at end of Aug

Lord Nikon

Sweet Jesus, 32gb patch, and not enough room on the hard-drive for it. Game is already taking up 100GB on a 240GB SSD. Don't know what to uninstall....

That’s the end of it for me now so
Have has to go back to Three broadband so that ain’t happening

Shlippery

Ouch, last patch was small enough actually, so maybe the 32gb is an accumulation of a few missed ones! Would definitely invest in a bit more space though, SSD's getting cheaper and cheaper, can get 1tb drives for less than £100 now!

Panic Stations

I think I'll be waiting until the Pacific Theater of war is out before jumping back into that game.

Lord Nikon

I've researched and the 32gb replaces 10gb of game files, so it more like 22gb. Still a lot for a "patch", thank god I have fibre broadband.

Shlippery

Oh yea, if it's on Origin it does a 'preparing' phase first which quotes a massive number and takes quite a while, but I think that just organises the files, then once it's 'downloading' you see the true patch size.

Get a bigger SSD. 240GB is peanuts these days :eek:

Ordered a terabyte today.

I've just downloaded this on ea access on PS4. Anyone got any advice for changing graphics or sound settings, any optimal settings that people would recommend.
