OFFICIAL Battlefield 1 (Discussion)

[LightningJR]

I haven't read all the previous posts but if it wasn't said the resolution scale is messed up, 100% is 2X resolution, 42% is as close to 1:1 as you can get. If you want perfect 1:1, which means if you are running 1080p you actually render in 1080p then go in to "My Documents" go to Battlefield 1, open up settings and open PROFSAVE_profile and scroll to "GstRender.ResolutionScale" and put it to ---> 1.000000

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.

When i change refresh rate to 96Hz i get black screen with only mouse pointer visible and the game stops responding.

DL and played... sniper fest these maps.. Ooof...

Was disconnected several times from servers bad had no trouble getting in.

Running 4K default Ultra with 980Ti and hitting around 50 FPS with drops to 40.

Will have to try it myself, but it seems like DICE learned nothing from BF3/4. I suppose the average person needs to feel good when they use a scoped rifle for whatever reason, hence the easy sniper rifles in all mainstream games. In BF3/4 you can effectively use them in close quarters room clearing like a PDW, but they can also shoot across the map. I can't imagine them being even more unbalanced.

Coupled with the dull theme, lack of effort put into it, I may not buy this title. At least not at release. I hope the population stays there for BF4 Conquest and BF4 hardcore TDM/DOM.

Game seems good so far but after every match i get disconnected and oddly my internet goes out. Happened 4 times so far

Just played 1st time. Instant reminder of Hardline.

Of course love the tommies with their piss/soup helmets

 

[Lionheart]

Games seems pretty fun but I'd appreciate it if they put at least couple maps in the beta, one that doesn't have snipers everywhere

 

[Black Haru]

Its much more bc2 rather than hardline imo. The alpha map had more cover.

The snipers have been changed drastically. Their effective range is limited compared to bf4 but they now have a sweet spot for one shot body shots. In the alpha i never felt overwhelmed by snipers. We will see on this new map.

Recon in bf4 is unbalanced only in that it is beaten by the assault class in 95% of situations. You cant use it like a pdw because body armor eliminates on shot chest. If someone has the skill to use a sniper like that in bf4, changing the game balance wont matter.

On the subject of pdws, its nice to see they arent glorified bb guns in this game. I love pdws and its frustrating when they have no place in the game. When they are beaten out at every range and every situation by assault rifles and carbines.

As for stability issues, make sure you have the latest drivers (released today)

Edit; also, dull theme? I for one am VERY happy that DICE stepped away from a modern theme. 4 in a row would have been lack of effort. The first 4 battlefield games each had a unique setting, how is it now a lack of effort to drastically change the setting of your game into a war very few games have covered?

ALSO destruction, not levolution. Nuff said

Lvl 33 players already.

Oh my goodness.

Lvl 33 players already.

Thats just excessive.

Been playing some on and off today. I like it and will probably pick it up later on (Not pre ordering like I did with BF3/BF4). Hopefully it will have much more content that it shows in this beta. From what I can tell weapon mods are not in the beta and the weapons feel good.

Expect fewer weapons and gadgets (this is good) i think map design will play a big role in long term sustainability.

"Verdun" a small WW1 game has a terrific atmosphere and setting!!!! You get involved.

BF1 is Bleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee or ZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. It is kiddy stuff, non serious at all. It is not even graphically taunting.

 

[MustSeeMelons]

Coupled with the dull theme

What? That's the best thing!
Tried for about 2h yesterday, and I liked it! Looks great, runs good for me. One question though, how does this compare to BF3/4? Haven't played much of the modern ones, but this one does seem a bit slower paced?

PSA: If you haven't received an email invitation yet, just go to Origin -> Store -> Free Games -> Demos & Betas.

From there you can install the game

I tried the open beta yesterday but running around as Rank 0 with Rank 16 and up ain't really that run.

 

[SK-1]

Needs a few nerfs and buffs but...Like a freshly cleaned chillum...this will be a big, long lasting hit.

 

[Recon-UK]

I am downloading to will test my XEON setup!

This should not make a difference, there are so few unlocks and most of the start weapons are either the most effective or on par with the best.
Learning the map and figuring out where to go as infantry/armor etc is the hardest part.

The beta seems slower paced because of the map. The alpha map had more cover/closer flags and played with a faster pace. This is a good sign since it shows map diversity.

 

[Recon-UK]

The game is trash, cap flags to win but die every time getting to one because from 500 miles the entire enemy team sit on some rocks where you can't see them and insta kill you.
I ran high textures, ultra AF, medium everything else with SSAO and got 55-85FPS at 1080P from the 670.

Kinda wish they had at least one more map and more mixture of Rush. I was playing for an hour last night and it was only set to Conquest Mode. Maybe because it was a day earlier the Rush mode wasn't activated? Anyway's

Here's my settings and results:

CPU: AMD 8370 @ 4.5 GHZ
RAM: 12GB G.Skill RipJaw
GPU: Zotac AMP! GTX 1070
Settings: Ultra
Directx 12 on
Display: 2560x1400p @ 144hz

Directx 11:

When Resolution was 50%

Average FPS: 50~75
Min: 35

When Resolution was 100%

Average FPS: 30~35
Min: 25

Directx 12:

When Resolution was 50%

Average FPS: 35~45
Min: 30

When Resolution was 100%

Average FPS: 25~30
Min: 19

For me you have to restart the game when you enabled Directx12. Directx12 did take a performance hit, just because I am thinking it favors more to AMD GPUs. However, it did state that DX12 is still being developed for the game, thus performance issues. All-in-all the game is really fun. I love flying the bomber plane and hearing the missles drop from above!

 

[EarthDog]

Rush was activated out of the gate AFAIK...

Resolution scale... its different than BF4. In that you started at zero in BF4 and went up. Here you seem to start with it enabled already. I'm a bit confused...

 

[ViperXTR]

getting around 70-100FPS give and take, at ultra settings 2133 x 1200 (DSR) 42% scaling at 64player online using gameready drivers for BF1. It's hammering my old CPU as expected
