Battlefield Franchise Megathread v"Seriously, nobody made a new thread yet?" - Games

There's so much shit sitting in the files that isn't implemented, and it's not even fucking cosmetic shit to be paid for. We're straight up missing actual pilots being dressed like pilots despite the fact that they have models ingame that just aren't used, or how every single uniform is out of place

Interestingly recon will also getting pistol carbines and anti-material rifles. Thought that the carbines would go to the medic, but I guess it makes sense for more aggressive scouts that want faster firing weapons.

Yeah I honestly don't get with the piss poor armory shop. The first batch was good, 2 or 3 Epics on both sides along with CC purchase-able shit. Second batch was awful with only Foxcatcher and Bell Tolls. Now it's only the Elites with cosmetics that p much everyone already has AKA Valkyrie and Grifter. There's enough complete cosmetics sitting in the files to keep the first batch in rotation for a few months. The people who're running the rotations seriously need to step the fuck up.

I remember that this allowed you to see enemies quite clearly in the BF4 night maps, making night vision scopes and flashlights a bit pointless. But I guess we'll see what it's like when they release this update.

I just wish the game didn't run like crap now. I have a beefy as shit rig, but now the game is crazy unstable

It's actually not as much as BF4, but yeah it seems a bit too strong and hoo boy https://files.facepunch.com/forum/upload/265780/70072b8c-1074-4f25-b911-5e6d0cbf3a35/bfv_2019-05-02_18-51-09.jpg

They seem to have made it run worse recently. I'm not sure when the most recent patch was but after hearing about it somewhere else I tried to play and struggled to get over 40 FPS on most maps, where as before I usually sat between 40 and 60. I just finally uninstalled. It's frustrating because BFV is really the only new game I have such a hard time running and this is the second Battlefield game *in a row* where I have seen a noticeable performance decrease halfway through it's lifecycle for no apparent reason.

I've got enough beef in my system to overcome most of the performance hits, but I have noticed them. Freesync also helps smooth out any FPS drops. I remember BF1 grinding to a crawl on my old hardware after some updates, dunno why its so difficult to keep performance consistent. They will never admit to tanking performance either, even though its obvious.

Got my hands on the Tromboncino, for some reason it automatically started at level 1 for me, it's actually really fun. The gun portion is really low damage for a bolt action, but it can be cycled while aiming, and the grenade launcher is a welcome addition to the medic arsenal, it finally gives us a way to deal with light vehicles. Also between this thing and the MP28 I am fairly sure the medic has boneitis.

The Trombo is some fun shit. It's basically a bolt action that's fast enough to actually work in this game's TTK. The grenade launcher portion is neat, but I ain't really getting that much success with it. its animations are pretty gucci though https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T43q6ib80Qw

I'm slightly disappointed that they couldn't work in the feature of the Pedersen device in BF1 where switching the action would actually reduce the amount of rounds left in the magazine, especially since they do show a shell being ejected when you swap bolts, also since the Tromboncino launcher was specifically designed to use a normal cartridge as its launching cartridge.

My Trombone started at level 10, can't unlock anything for it, no mastery or proficiency which sucks, but its a really fun gun to use.

The Boys AT rifle is a full on primary apparently The deals 80 damage at 100m with extra 20 damage impact blast radius practically confirming a one bodyshot kill up to that distance

I'm guessing like the MMGs it's gonna need to be deployed to be aimed.

Yeah, I imagine it will function very similarly to the tankgewehr from BF1. I do wonder though if you can fire it without deploying like the MMGs...

Guess you can say The Boys are back in town

I started asking around the community, and yeah, seems like for a bunch of people, the more recent patches, specifically this TOW, dropped FPS by like, 30.

I've recently started getting some heavy fps drops around tanks, smoke, explosions and especially V1 explosions. Sometimes the drops seem quite random though. I have the framerate locked to 60 fps (somehow with a gtx 1080, i7 9900k, 16gb and an ssd, I can't even get over 100 fps) but it often drops to 45 or 50. Today I even froze for a second when a guy started shooting at me - this never happened to me before. No idea what they're doing, but it's fucking annoying.

I had this too. Game stuttered everytime new asset needed to be loaded. I started using Intelligent standby list cleaner and so far everything is smoother. I have very similar rig to yours (except CPU, in my case it's Ryzen 5 2600) with DirectX 11 and Future Frame Rendering. Please, check this little program, it may help you. Please be sure to tell me about results, because I'm very curious about this. https://www.wagnardsoft.com/content/intelligent-standby-list-cleaner-v1000-released - no installation required, just run it at it is, minimize and start playing.

I've been using it ever since BF:V came out and like I said, it used to be fine until the most recent update.

I genuinely wish friendly fire was enabled in some limited capacity so that I could bully Recons who don't shit out flares every few seconds

I'm just bummed because the game went from running flawlessly to massive framedrops that turn me off from playing it ever again. Because no matter the settings, the drops STILL happen

I tend to drop smokes on recons who sit in spawn doing nothing.

Holy shit you just gave me an idea for a perfect anti-caper tank - AA tank with smoke shells, works against camping teammates, camping enemies and even camping enemy tanks! It's a win/win/win!

Jfc, Reddit has been wild lately with everyone and their mom participating in datamining the game's files lol https://www.reddit.com/r/BattlefieldV/comments/bkryqh/bfv_all_datamined_information_from_us_japan_to/ I like how even right now when we're approaching one of the highest amount of weapons and vehicles added to any post-BF launch, we're severely dry on maps

I think it's because nothing is fucking getting added and people are getting desperate

I like how there was a katana in the fucking reveal trailer and it's only being added now.

It's nice that the game seems to be approaching BF4-levels of content bloat with the datamines, but nobody will ever feel the steady stream of content if they keep up with the god-awful slow armory updates and singular ToW weekly rewards. They should really just release all of the preview cosmetics into the armory while shuffling discounts instead of now.
