Does it fix DX12 yet or are we gonna wait a few more months before they decide to work on it?

SolidStoner3391d ago

I like BF1, but this explains many problems it has! -

Sadly they didnt fix hardcore, its still 125% which is the same as normal mode...

you know why, its because they know mature players have money and they will be forced to rent a server, what a great move, its happening right now, almost all 125% hardcore servers are empty now, and only several real 200% hardcore servers available, almost all the time it takes about 1 hour to get in just because they are FULL and at least 10+ players waiting in the line to get in!

this 125% hardcore is normal mode, only with team kills and limited map. Sniper rifle still the only gun that works, pistols still require 3+ head shots.... guns are shooting "magic" bullets because they use some "magic" balancing for all arcade cry babies who thinks there should be less gas grenades or less time for them to work (yeah, go there in real WW1 ask your enemies to use silly weapons so you can kill them instead, great move, lets make all games like COD and overwach!). BF1 uses some "magical" bullet damage drops, it comes out of a gun with no damage and then it gets more damage at larger distance, and each sniper does that in this game (each more silly than other), assault has 2 usable guns, both made unusable just to "balance" this magic out and make a spread those bullets like ping pong, medic is a sniper but with half the egg/damage, and support shoots darts and loud farts....

ridiculous mess Dice has created (it plays like total Arcade, and should be called "SUPER SONIC ACROBATIC POWERED BATTLEFIELD1"! - where every child could be a hero and make 50+ killstreak with a tank or sniper rifle (just because all other classes are there for the frags!!)), I just wish every gun to be made as real as possible, that way there would be no need for childish balancing! and it would be cool to get those head shots and expect weapons to work like they should.. instead silly playstation 1 era bars which determine damage output going up and down at specific distances!

Played All battlefields, didnt miss even one, this is first time Im so disappointed with BF...

DICE have always been very shady & incompetent with their updates. They always have game breaking bugs at launch or that they introduce in the first few patches. Then they refuse to acknowledge them for anything up to a year before they get around to fixing them. I remember Battlefield 3 had a crashing bug on pc on release which took them over 3 months to acknowledge & fix. Despite it being the most popular thread on their support page.

Despite the frostbite engine that was created with lots & lots of money. DICE are very good at design but very poor technically. It always seems that they're never really sure how to fix anything. It took them over 2 years to fix their own netcode. They don't know how to patch the important issues so they don't release any patches for ages then build up all the tiny little insignificant details. Then release 'seasonal' patches with massive long changelogs that in reality don't change much at all.

Much like the dx12 bug. DX12 worked fine on release until they broke it with a patch. Meaning anyone who had it enabled prior to them breaking it would now get an empty black screen when running the game. Making it completely unplayable. I've lost count of how many months have gone by now but DICE still have not acknowledged it despite the thread on their support page. If you're not tech savvy then the game is useless to you & has been for several months. The only way to fix it if you're lucky enough to find the info on the web is to edit the games configure files to disable it from running full screen etc..

Where is the HDR support?

paulust20023391d ago

I know! It looks so good but this would make argonne look beautiful

UltraNova3391d ago

It already looks amazing through my Model A's sights.

Deadpooled3391d ago (Edited 3391d ago )

I can barely see those dirty campers and sniper little jimmies on that damn map. Every time that map appears I quit the playlist, no equalising vehicles or planes, the behemoth is useless, and flag B is a hellhole

tywinlannister0003391d ago

No shit it pisses me off considering HDR is more noticeable than 4k,requires NO aditional gpu power and is the biggest selling point for PS4 PRO yet PRO supported games like BF1 and Watch Dogs 2 don't even implement it.WTF?

ion6663391d ago (Edited 3391d ago )

Yes f that Behemoth, I hate them and they're useless.

REDGUM3391d ago

The Zepplin Behemoth isn't useless. Quite often it changes the game on.its head as does the train. There should be more control points on them though for other players. That chsnges it up again as the more players in a Behemoth the less that are on the ground, much like a tank.

Deadpooled3389d ago

I notice now the opposition fly on top of the behemoth getting easy kills for whoever operates the guns on the top.

DICE Needs To Recapture The Magic Of Battlefield 1 In The Next Game

For DICE to succeed with its next game, it has to return to the roots of the franchise. Atmospheric map design, clear and defined class-based gameplay, attention to detail, and total chaos. Battlefield 1 feels like every rock, every glint on your sniper rifle, every falling brick from a collapsing church, has been painstakingly considered. So much care went into the design of the game, from its soundtrack to its costume department. To stand a chance alongside the behemoths of Treyarch and Infinity Ward, DICE needs to recapture what made their old games so brilliant, otherwise it’s all over.

"DICE Needs To Recapture The Magic Of Battlefield 3 In The Next Game"

/Fixed

...on a serious note, DICE needs to remove the Battlefield name.

isarai1292d ago

Eh, bfbc2 was the peak for me, only ad dogfighting and the accommodations that come with it. Every BF after that was such an unsatisfying progression system for weapons and gear for the classes, 90% of the guns feel exactly the same when you unlock them, just felt boring in comparison. Not to mention the gimped destruction as the series progressed

Sciurus_vulgaris1292d ago

I found Battlefield 1 to be overrated. The gameplay was simpler and less strategic than its predecessors. Battlefield 1 did have a woo-factor, but the gameplay got repetitive faster than Battlefield 4 in my opinion.

porkChop1292d ago

If DICE needs to return to the roots of the franchise then why would they look at Battlefield 1? BF1 is overly simplified and streamlined. What DICE should focus on is Battlefield 3 and Bad Company 2. Those two games were the pinnacle of the franchise.

TheEnigma3131292d ago

BC2 was the best. they need to get back to that.

Battlefield 1, Hardline, BF4 Servers Are Being Taken Offline by Cheaters; EA Silent on Issue

Cheaters & hackers have been causing grief on Battlefield 1, Hardline & BF4 servers, with nonstop DDoS attacks among other things. Unfortunately, EA has remained silent about it.

-Foxtrot1523d ago

Course they are silent, they are hoping people flock to 2042

gamesftw2501522d ago

Maybe it was a inside job then haha.

jeromeface1521d ago

wouldnt be the first time, titanfall 1+2 anyone?

PapaBop1522d ago

Not even if they paid me.. EA always do this with old games with less money potential, if this was Ultimate Team, they'd address and sort it faster than stories could spread. Why invest time in their products when they will just dump it in the following years? Then again EA never could see the forest for the trees.

Inverno1522d ago

I imagine after those games were given out for free a couple months back through Amazon, anything that makes people go to 2042 is a plus for them

XiNatsuDragnel1523d ago

They want people to go on 2042. My theory

excaliburps1522d ago

Nah. I think they can't do anything about it or they want to sink money into fixing it.

Pudge1028881522d ago (Edited 1522d ago )

EA owns all BF servers so yes, they can do something about it but they refuse to because they dont want ppl playing their old games instead of the new one. Its EA we’re talking about here

pr33k331522d ago

if this happened in 2042, they'd have something to say. which is weird, considering battlefield 1 has more players on steam right now.

Pudge1028881522d ago

Its so obvious that EA is doing this or hired ppl to mess up the games so that we’d be forced to have just 1 Battlefield working.

FPS_D3TH1522d ago

Honestly it’s probably the devs themselves. They did an update to bf4 way back that kinda made assault rifles doo doo in hopes that people would flock to BF1 cuz BF4 was too perfect

Grabbed Panzer Dragoon, the Darkness, Conker Reloaded, Burnout Revenge, Time Splitters 2, Fight Night Champions, and Stuntman Ignition.

Essentially some of the classics that I can't get on PC, now that I have a Series S.
