    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 .

    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.

    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?

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GxQp56Lc_kU&feature=youtu.be ( that cpu graph doesnt look healthy)

    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!

    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

    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..

    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!

    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.

    Registered Users Posts: 2,261 ✭✭✭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.

    I've played a few rounds of the new map now.

    My God is it awful.

    On the surface it looks like it should be a good map.
    Setting is nice and loads of buildings but the design is so bad.

    Bottleneck once one team takes C and D as theres no way around apart from that one section.

    This game had its problems at launch but for me the biggest issue was that the base game was just full of awful maps.
    Not one really good one, and the middling ones not even being high end in a normal battlefield sense.

    Now we're onto the third map in a year(I'd rather pay for premium and have 8 maps by now than this free malarkey which has turned out to be that its basically gone instead of free) and it's one of the worst designed ones I've ever played.
    Who thinks it's a good idea to design a big map where the only action takes place in a single bottleneck over and over. :/

    So I finally got this on EA Access............

    Generally I've always been a fairly prompt buyer of the BF series but I knew I hadn't the time for it when it originally released and then the overarching opinion of it was that it was a buggy mess so I kept putting it off. And boy does it not feel like fun.

    Spotting is gone?? you just place a little pin on the screen for your squad to ignore. No big deal that they do but I used to spot enemies so that I could keep track of them, now it's just a mess and you're taking the odd pot shot at somebody on the other side of map that may or may not be actually on your team but you've no way of knowing.

    Some of the maps are still BF big, but vehicles don't feel as a accessible and so you spend half the time running from obj to obj or is that just me?

    I haven't touched any of the more niche new modes like Firestorm yet but the small teams modes like squad conquest didn't feel great. The maps aren't downsized enough for them so it still feels like you're running for ages just to find some action. And then die.

    Those are just a few musings from my first few hours playing, my opinion may change with time but I'm not holding out a lot of hope.



    Also, I play on the PS4 and have it wired via homeplugs to my router, but on every single map I've played I get some of the latency "warning symbols" on screen. Anytime I check the server info I seem to connected to one in Germany but I didn't think that should be too much of an issue. Does this happen to everyone?

    First off what is your Latency on the score screen? What Broadband do you have..If FTTH, then your Latency should be around 28-30 and that's using wifi..

    Yes spotting is gone but it is still there too.. Sniper spotting scope, flare gun, plane flares, tank scope, suppression by support, ground rader in certain planes..

    New update has latency increased for mostly everyone, and Dice are working on this.

    I rarely fire on friendly's bar when the friendly icon is slow to appear..

    In general Git Gud.. Join a Platoon, have some craic,

    Forget what exact plan I'm on with Eir but, using the laptop, speed test just now without kicking anyone else off the network was 50 Mbps down; 20 Mbps up which should be more than enough. PS4 is connected to the router via home plugs and not wireless.

    Had a game of conquest last night with the network statistics turned on:

    Latency: 80-90 ms
    Network Vrtn: 8-12 ms
    Extr Offset: 40-45 ms

    No idea what those are like as a benchmark for BFV but it seems high to me. Are the only EU servers located in Germany? Couldn't find anything closer when I searched.

    I was prepared for the initial learning curve having not played it before and not played any BF in year or so, but it just feels a little laggy which is sucking the enjoyment out of it.

    Had a few more games last night. Ping was similar but I kept a closer eye on everyone else's on the scoreboard too and well the good news, I guess, is that they're all similar. Lowest I saw all night was ~55 ms.

    After latest update everyone's ping doubled..Dice are aware and working on a fix.. There are too many strategic positioned people now and plenty now are in two's, making gameplay impossible..

    Finally tried it; I'm on the verge of uninstalling after 5 hours.
    -The weapons feel utterly pisspoor compared to every other entry in the franchise
    -Medics having ****ty little SMGs is a joke (I still miss the BC2 days of having the LMG) and the bolt actions are no better.
    -The intention behind the spotting change might be good, because even in BF1 I have to keep reminding the team that Q exists, but it NEVER actually spots them. Having to change out to the scope as recon is sloppy, and the minimap is near worthless because enemies shooting nearby don't ever seem to show.
    -The players are braindead as always when it comes to flanking out of a trapped spawn, but the map designs lead to a lot of trapped spawns with no possible way out. Al Sudan and Marita are 2 prime examples of this.
    -Firestorm took 8 minutes to find a squad, followed by 20 minutes of running around a map with only 20 players doing nothing until the very end. Pointless.
    -Riddled with ****ing microtransations and garish cosmetics.
    -Nobody communicates.
    -The multiplayer screen is even more stripped down, give it a few more years and server browser will be done away with. They're trying hard not to let you see what servers you might want, pushing quickplay where you end up in an empty game most of the time.

    If I had actually paid cash for this game in particular instead of Origin Access, I would be furious.

    Ah some of the medics smgs are lethal unless you're just not a fan in general?

    Spotting works great if you throw up flare gun.

    Matchmaking not great, dont think there's a solution for braindead players unless you land a decent squad!

    Firestorm, it's massively neglected by the devs at the mo, they did drop a ton of fixes
    with 4.6 but nothing really for Firestorm.
    https://trello.com/b/yT9nj2yn/battlefield-v-quality-of-life-tracker

    -They're actually awful at mtx / store.

    Operation metro remake will likely be out next thursday..

    The Pacific hopefully end of Oct/Start of November is there last year chance to redeem the game!

    I personally really enjoy it but it's the constant missteps from Dice that frustrate me about it.
    The service model they've 'implemented' has been a disaster. They should have just done it like BF1.
