OFFICIAL Battlefield 1 (Discussion)

i wish DX 12 didnt suck so bad for BF 1, I really want to try a game in DX 12 other then The Division :p
Your CPU is too fast, that's why it sucks on your system. Switch to a FX core and use DX12 then. lol
 
ive never even enabled dx 12 in game due to me asking here and others saying it wasnt working properly :P

It's working but it's slower on nvidia cards at least unless you're on fx cpu maybe, in the end having a pretty odd system.
 
I would like to try DX12 as well, but since I use a Reshade injector, I can not use DX12 and I am not willing to give up the color improvements lol.

It's not really good for you anyway, you would lose on performance. Anyone with a strong CPU right now, simply doesn't need DX12, at least not on Nvidia hardware.
 
DICE need to fix this fucking game:

spawning on dead squad mates
no admin
wall hax unpunished
no admin
too many snipers


FFS.
 
In the BF1 CTE at least the acknowledge the problem of tank spawns. Though I don't see any suggested fix for the bright lights and flickering blue/green that's caused by having the AA setting on anything other than TAA.

 
How the tank spawn bug works and why it's possible your team lost because of it:

1) What it is:

The tank spawn bug is where one team will get the other teams tank spawns

2) How it works:

Until you kill the enemy's original tank spawns, you will not be getting new tank spawns. I'm not 100% sure if you cap the flag closest to the base if it will correct this bug, but I do know that if you lose your team's original tank(s), you will not get another until you kill the enemies original tank(s). You can kill the extra tanks spawns they get all you want, you'll still not get your tank spawns back. You have to kill their original tank spawns.

3) Why this is game breaking:

It's fairly obvious. If your team can not kill the enemies original tank(s) that spawned at the beginning of the game, and your friendly tanks get killed, it now becomes a 4 v 0 where it's neigh impossible for the team to get its act together to get the original enemies tank(s) and still stand a chance at coming back.

I still don't understand why DICE has yet to fix this bug. This bug is so game breaking that the bug fix should be a patch by itself.
 
Reported a guy last night, 'Brunhilde81' twice. Sometimes masks his hacks but last game yesterday he racked up something like 120-20 K/D. On foot. Youtube links show his cheats, it is appalling.
DICE obviously don't give a shit anymore. Good game apart from the basic admin tools they removed from BF4.
They left one tool, themselves.

120-20....??
DarthForeman17 i reported this guy cuz i entered late in the game rush i think it was, and that guy had more than that score already , Support class when i checked the score. Asked why people didnt report him knowing that he was cheating for sure . some people answer was they didnt knew how to report. Well at the end the guy finishid the game with more than 230 kills im not lying thats the highest crap in letting someone cheat ive seen in bf. i reported the guy 3 times and EA let him play the whole entire game. When i checked his profile wasnt private and his library had like 4 games more. maybe he stole someones else profile or was stupid enough to do that with his own account. My point is that EA doesnt demostrate what happens to cheaters, and sometimes you can see shi... like this one. i play in US east servers and is full of SA players with high pings too, thing that screws the gameplay totally between ( 120 -400 ping) Of course that guy was from South America , he didnt answer to people cursing in english so i thought was brasilian , wrote some words in portuguese and no answer... as soon i curse him in spanish he answered laughing. Why cant we have a decent server with admins again and a restricted ping limit. Is annoying when you snipe someone that is 189 ping and the bullet you see it hit the target and the guy doesnt die, and thats not the only situation ive seen so far.

I heard they are fixing console first before they address PC problems. #2 class citizens.
 
Of course they have to put the pacifier on console babies first. Then they will nerf the guns noobs complain about every single game. Then they will not pay attention to what makes the games unplayable.... Ping, bugs, cheats etc. I like more bf than overwatch but sometimes is in overwatch where i find a relief about what is caring about gameplay and players. Thanks blizzard and plz teach EA a little of what you do.
 
I think they'll fix the issues though, even if it takes some time. I still enjoy the game, but then again I'm not an overly serious player either. I can imagine that those are pissed of bugs like that.

So do you think BF1 will have a nice long run like BF4 has had, or is it going to crash and burn soon?

I purchased BF1 back in December and I have only put a couple of hours on it since then. Even LevelCap made a YouTube video discussing if BF1 is already dying.

There is just something about BF1 that is just not as addictive as BF4 was to me. To this day, there is also an issue with the mouse movement in BF1 that I just can not pinpoint. I play CS:GO a lot and I could get my BF4 and CS mouse settings very close to each other. BF1 is completely off for me.

I enjoy BF1 way more than BF4. However I think its dying off because a lack on content. Nothing worth putting the hours in to unlock. Having the same weapon with or without a scope IMO is lame. Graphically and mechanically its fair superior than BF4. Its just lacks depth. No reason to grind for new toys.

They should at least add daytime and nighttime versions of the maps.

BF1 user base is about 50% larger than BF4 was at this point. Is it technically dying? No. Its not. I think its dying with hardcore fans being sucked off my Overwatch. But IMO its well worth buying.

I have been playing BF4 since day 1, and its getting old. I have even gone back and started playing BF3 and BF:BC2 again just for something different.
I need a new FPS and was hoping it would be BF1 but I have not been hearing to many good things about it.

Buy it man. Its a lot of fun. By the time it gets old to you, the new DLC will be dropping.
 
Ill play bf1 over bf4 any day imo. I just complain about EA doing nothing to make the game enjoyable and not just playable. Support the game and community complains as they should.

Call me old fashioned but I still think BF4 is by far the better game. BF4 had its problems when it was released but it polished up quite nicely.

in BF1 the weapons are either stupidly OP or 'samey samey'. People tend to use the most effective weapons to kill stuff which means the OP ones. Lack of variation with some of the weapons and theres nothing to grind for once you have saved up and unlocked the OP weapons. I used to look forward to playing BF1 but they are taking so long to fix the bugs and balance the weapons that I feel no real urge to play anymore because I know i'll just get annoyed

Oh god yes...but youll have a bunch of complainers too( noobs) I remember the release of nightime maps in bfh...so many complains and I getting the largest score of kills of my life lol 167kills if i remember well. On foot and not i wasn't cheating i hatw that shi..

I really enjoy playing the game. I've run into hackers and I've run into crappy teams, but I'm still enjoying the hell out of this game. It feels a lot more visceral compared to BF4. I'm really liking the environments and sounds, something I didn't notice quite as much with BF4.

The game isn't perfect, however it's still a very enjoyable game. I'll be playing this one for a while.

Is BF1 a hackfest?

Thinking of getting it. My system should run it ok i guess.

If you look at a lot of the cheat/hack forums, you will find that BF1 has a lot of public aimbots/wall hacks out there since the only Anti-Cheat that BF1 uses is Fairplay. How do they get around Fairplay, the creators of the cheats just tell the users in their OP to not get carried away when using the hacks. They even have guides on how to code and put together your own aimbots on these forums.

If I was an aimbotter, I would just stick to close quarter combat and a shotgun, because detecting a cheater is a lot harder in cqb. I would abstain from engaging in long distance combat.
