OFFICIAL Battlefield 1 (Discussion)

You guys should really watch at the graphs I provided in the pcgh link up the page. Dx12 = a lot less fps. That said I used it for testing to see if it works, I'll play with dx11 again.

I'll see what DX11 does for me. I thought DX12 was supposed to be good for multi-card setups which is why i tried it first.

I'm curious if sli even works, not a word from nvidia on that matter. Amd did provide a extra driver for crossfire at least.

Not sure if a single 780 can max the game on 1080p and keep 60fps.

Been playing it alot more (Last night got quite a few games in), really getting into it though I have had a few issues/things I've noticed after playing both game settings and trying everything out I can.

1: Game has caused my PC to lock up 4 times now. Only on initial startup, seems to be a weird bug with the way the game starts but it freezes the entire PC when it does it (Only started happening once I set it to 144hz in the settings so that maybe part of the issue).
2: Anything automatic has crazy recoil that makes alot of the shots much more random than ever before. They really are only meant for close-medium close encounters as at any range they are hard to hit people.
3: Vehicles (Specifically tanks) are really strong in the right hands. Currently in my opinion the light tank is OP, the others seems to have pretty clear weaknesses and such to where with a good team effort you can take them down even with their extreme armor. However, the light tank is easy for a skilled played to take advantage of its higher mobility and armor to basically last nearly an entire round blasting away at people. I have seen (and done) many people get 40+ kills with limited deaths multitudes of times just from camping with that light tank near the back/mid way. I do like that fact vehicles are more scary, but feel the light tank needs some tweaking.
4: Bolt action rifles rock!!! Man they are all fantastic to shoot to a point you can dominate with them. I unlocked the Gewehr yesterday to try it and found it to be the only one available currently without a scope and dominated multiple games with it. I am surprised more aren't using it because without the scope I can use it at short and medium ranges better and end up popping people off in quick succession with its straight pull bolt.
5: Medic class feels a bit dismal at the moment. While healing is great, reviving is great, and the guns are pretty dang good/accurate, the rest of the kit feel lacking for the current game modes/maps available. I hope they can do more later on because currently it almost feels like a weak kit minus the fun of the guns they have. I don't see many people playing the kit which many times makes me feel like playing it to help the team out and while I feel like I am helping, there are so many situations I feel I would have benefited from the other kits much more in those situations even though I try and heal people/revive as much as I can and still rack up quite a few kills because of the guns accuracy in those kits.

Thats just a few things that have really caught my eye. Really enjoying the game personally as I love the older guns (one reason I love WWII games so much) and the way the game moves. Not perfect but I know they will fix some of the things bugging me.

Dx12 is up to the game designers themselves if it supports multi gpu or not, dx11 is (more) a matter of drivers (too).

Btw does anyone know if graphics are any better in dx12?

it works on my 980's, but not well. Could use a few tweaks for sure.

uh.... no? Or at least, not in a huge way.

 

[horik]

I am so bad at air fights, not even 1 kill.

 

[Kanan]

I asked because some people here are talking about "crispier graphics" etc. So I wanted to be sure.

 

[horik]

Sandstorms with differend intensities, nice.

And lots of banned players.

 

[Black Haru]

Im all alobe!

 

[mrthanhnguyen]

seem like dx12 costs 10-20 fps for nvidia at the current stage. I saw the rx470 gains like 10 fps in dx12. However, dx12 and dx11 look the same in term of graphic quality.

gtx 970

gtx 1080

 

[Black Haru]

new bug discovered! the magic disappearing car! happened twice in two different servers. driving along, everything is fine, just good. then all of a sudden you are walking and there isn't a car in sight...

 

[Kanan]

BTW dx12 helped rig of a friend - more fps. It's a i5 4570k @4.1ghz + oced 980ti. Yep, the i5 is not enough for that gpu / game combo that's the whole reason dx12 is a profit for him.

 

[kurosagi01]

So i gave Battlefield 1 a go on both PS4 and PC,no surprise the Pc version is indeed a lot better and connecting to servers is a lot better,but most of my friends and family are on PS4..is it just in beta or was this also on 4 that i can't automatically bring my party members to the same game?

Wonder why I lost performance with a 6950x when using dx12..

On pc its a little weird. If you are in a party and someone joins a game it doest put you in automatically, it gives you a prompt asking if you want to join. And it is a little buggy. Pretty much every time i join Dave's it gives me a "failed to connect" but when i exit that prompt, im loading into the game. Alls well that ends well.
I really think they patched the spread on medic guns. Use the artillery version of the Cie, put it on full auto, snd you have a pretty well balanced semiclose-mediumlong weapon. Its biggest weakness is damage droppoff. I can put 3 quick shots in someone from C to Bish, but at that range its like a 5 shot kill. It is hard to get that many shots out before they find cover. At close or mid range, treat it like a 3 shot burst and walk it up their chest, its very deadly in a one on one.

Downloading, at 10MB/second. Origin is seemingly faster than Steam AND Speedtest.

I just downloaded BF1 beta at ~12MB/s while Steam downloads can peek up to 28MB/s.

The game itself is "alright", though not going to spend 60 euro for it.

 

[Machinematrix]

Yeah, this gave me trouble in the alpha because i was running without sli support.

Definitely an open map, and the recon class is more deadly vs previous titles.

I hope they don't nerf the recon class.

Hmm... never had issues with either of them full 32MB/s from anywhere...

loading the game up right meow~

Simple, because dx12 only helps weaker cpus, but has a cap in which it runs into gpu util (even with my rig as I posted earlier here), after that dx11 is better because it's a mature api - more gpu utilisation.

 

[FreedomEclipse]

Hmmm Its like battlefront.....

But it's not a weak cpu.

I would like to see techspot cover it with different cpus and see what it's like to go from quad to quad + ht, to octo with ht...etc with this game. I could try it wlong 6700k, but, it only has a r7 260x on it, lol!

Yep I didn't mean your cpu it was generally talking, yours is #1 obviously (you really need a confirmation for that?).

PCGH did a test, link is in one of my earlier posts.

Yeah just migrate the gpu to the other system if you want to do a test, but I can tell you this: the 6700k will run better in dx11 with the 1080.
