Battlefield 1's dynamic resolution looks to be a bit broken

When I'm sat on my comfy couch it's hardly going to make a difference.
I'd love to see that Miiverse corner.
is your comfy couch 5 miles away from your TV? lol

Reddit's PCMR is going to have a field day with that.
Yeah, you really don't notice things like resolution or framerate - the human eye can't see past 160x90 @ 24fps anyway if you're sitting 500 feet from your 32 inch TV.

*sigh* I was so very close to picking this up at launch but with all the performance issues I'll just wait a year n get the Premium version for the same price.

Haha, pretty funny!
Upon close investigation it seems to be a joke made to a parody reply referencing someone else's thread.
It's shocking to see a joke out here in the wild on GAF, but let me tell you they do exist.

What's the framerate like during ps1 mode?
The bigger question is tho if it ever really needs to go that low.
30fps on the overworld, 15fps during battles.

They missed a significant digit there LOL

The fuck?
I'm assuming that the bug involves frame-drops due to CPU bottleneck. Usually dropping resolution improves GPU performance a lot, but has zero to no performance gain on the CPU. So what BF1 is likely doing is hitting a point where the CPU can't hit the desired framerate and dropping the resolution in an attempt to reach the performance target given.
I personally wouldn't want the fix to simply be a lower limit on resolution, since it would drop to the low resolution and still not increase the framerate. If and when a fix comes in, I'd like it to be dependent not on a limit that does absolutely nothing anyway (CPU bound scenarios) but to be dependent on if there is going to be a gain in framerate by dynamically dropping the resolution. It's an interesting scenario to say the least.
What time is that ?

Playable on vita?! Omg
Someone forgot a 0
DICE has the most brilliant programmers in the industry yet mistakes can be made 
Probably this is some debug code that doesn't do Math.max(900, suggested_res).
But I can't get over the fact that they once broke the winning animation in BFBC2, which showed the wrong side winning animation some 60% of the time, and never fixed it. Was really annoying.

I want it down to 16x9, one pixel per inch ratio or bust!

So we can except a 3DS version? ;-)
Clearly the issue. Easiest fix ever. Hilarious bug though.

Is their dynamic resolution method even working? It struggling to even hit 50 FPS in conquest. Dice?

This game is about WWI isn't how games looked then?
