Battlefield 1 Fall Update

Performance on argonne forest has been downgraded on the PRO. Getting some big frame drops there.

Also more little framerate hiccups on Amiens + some strange aliasing while moving around. Easy to spot on the white windows at capture point E. Looks like some sort of flickering. Not sure how to call that. I remember it way more clean before the patch. Strange thing is, not every map seems to be affected.

Hey guys, dont know if this has been touched on elsewhere or even answered, but does anyone have an issue where you try to leave a game, i.e. at the end if a round you fancy some rush insread of conquest which you just finished, and it just seems to hang with the spinning icon in the top right corner?

Eventually it just kicks me for being idle... It is annoying as hell!

Its quickly to close the game and reload it!

Yep, if you leave too late, the map still loads in the background but the loading screen stays stuck. You'll have to wait for the server to decide you've been idle before it kicks you out.

If you want to reliably leave the game, you have to exit immediately on the post-match screen.

Found the problem! New nvidia drivers is causing some 1080's to stick at 810MHz and is causing a stuttering mess! Currently rolling back.

They still haven't fixed clicking a tank spawn and spawning in as a tank driver without your tank, as well as having to switch weapons after getting revived for the animations etc to play properly. Think I'll hold off for a while longer :/
 
Seems they've been busy.
If the squad leader ignores requests for orders the leadership is transferred to another member of the squad.
Should be a prompt asking the players left in the squad if they want to become squad leader. It's annoying having to leave and rejoin a squad whenever the game suddenly decides for me against my will that I should be squad leader and accidentally spam orders when I'm trying to spot enemies.
Furthermore, the Battlefield 1 Rent-a-Server Program makes its debut with the Fall Update. This will allow players to set up their own private and public Battlefield 1 servers, with control of different gameplay options to map rotations.
Thank fuck.
The couple of ungood Conquest maps being evenly spread across every single server's map rotation, where Suez always follows St. Quentin, made me stop playing this game.

Let's see if the server browser lets you filter out keywords. -DICE
 
Seriously i can't be the only one to be thinking about the precedent being set if we don't tell EA to go shove with their "we're going to leach money from me very avenue possible"... right?

"Early access" or should I say delayed release for everyone else was one thing. But was minor and I hope people if it gets too bad boycott games that attempt it to an extended degree.

But then cosmetic microtransactions on top of a fully priced game on top of highly priced DLC that splits the community up due to gating. I think the community should be pushing for them to adopt a stance like Overwatch did if we have no choice to accept one or the other. There's no reason for us to accept both and it only hastens further shifty practices. I guess people are too apathetic to stop this snowballing though.

Disable contextual orders or whatever it's called in the options. Then you can only give orders via the commo rose.

Squad leaders should be able to view the orders currently given by other squad leaders, since there's no damn commander now. If it wasn't for squad orders it would be Headless Chickens: The Game.

Yeah, Battlefront showed the number of people who had marked an objective with a number next to it, something similar would be perfect here.

Jesus the patch and/or nvidia drivers have killed my game!

I was easily outputting 90+ fps now I can't get 12!

I have a gtx 1080 and a 5820k @ 4.4ghz.

Help?

Edit: Turns out it is something else, all games are crawling! whats happened?

Update broke the game looks like.

Ummm they can. When they select "Orders" on the comms menu all the map's objectives will come up, below the objective it shows a number which designates how many squads are currently attacking/defending that objective.

I can't make a thread on this, but if someone else wants to, please do so. This should be a warning to anyone thinking of updating their drivers.

Oh cool, I've just been giving orders by spotting the points. I'll have to use that method.

They do have this in the game but it only shows up for the squad leader and when they use the radial menu for selecting a flag versus just looking at it and clicking the button.
 
Excellent, just started playing this game. Now I wont have the frustration other players felt. That quit button not being available was the only thing I noticed after 3 matches lol
 
Game runs like shit on my GTX 1080 even with Gsync (still 375.70 driver). Stutter is all over the place, it was running like a dream before the patch.
 
We're seriously going to start buying battlepacks prior to getting them to fix their shitty RNG system for them? It's literally built to get you to buy packs. Come onnnnn.

Besting my head against a wall obviously. Change through opposition is a dream, people are too short sighted. It only gets worse.

Why not? It's his/her money to spend. Fighting against microtransactions, especially the cosmetic type, is a war that was lost long ago. Seriously, it was 10 years ago with horse armor, war was lost, MC's are here to stay.

Why are we accepting three separate and distinct shitty practices from one game though. It just angers me to no end. It just hastens the approach of all out cash cowing with no adverse effect from these publishers/developers. Consumers can fight this, we have the power, they just seem to choose not to.

Early access for pay
Segregating DLC
Microtransactions on top

It's unreal to me that people are not more bothered. We freak out about things that are far less invasive and caused changes to be made. But because BF1 is a good multiplayer game we suddenly can't be bothered?

I want to point out I play BF1 regularly which is why I care so much that this crap isn't successful. It's not good for consumers in any way. So why don't we as consumers care? One might be a necessary evil. Show us that your profit for equivalent sales is down substantially because of the cost of development and I can understand to a degree. But this is more Iike "let's see what we can get away with" and gamers are like "I luv u Battlefield, as long as you take it in small portions I'll empty my whole wallet to you."

Cheers buddy, thanks for getting back to me!

I do hang on sometimes... Usually because im fearful of losing my points after a good round / an experience with the app not showing progress from the night before when i quit early.

At least i know that i can solve it now. Thanks again!

I'm on mobile so can't ctrl+f, did they fix perfoverlay.drawfps1 disappearing? And why add two more flags to suez, if they are just going to be in a straight line? I hate that type of map design.

You've experience these post-patch, or are you going off of the patch notes? Some dude earlier up stated it was fixed with the delay after gadget/grenade use. There is conflicting information, which is why I asked for clarification.

I'll always hope at each patch brings Gun Master to the game or at least the option to custom games. Excited to try out hardcore once I stop sucking at the real game.
