Original source is VGtech btw. The bug is only on PS4.

Is this the perfomance of the retail release? because that looks quite honestly like garbage and performs horribly.

 

[AndyD]

BF3 beta. It was wonderful

It was. Especially those Metro crawling GIFs, man they made me laugh for weeks.

 

[Rebel Leader]

I noticed this alot too

 

[Elixist]

it'll go as low as 160x90

Yes.

 

[Rizific]

man, you gamers are so entitled. 160x90 is fine. if you sit at least 50 yards away from the tv the average consumer wouldnt even be able to tell the difference.

 

[Elixist]

man, you gamers are so entitled. 160x90 is fine. if you sit at least 50 yards away from the tv the average consumer wouldnt even be able to tell the difference.

i chuckled, you would be seeing 1080p as your output from that distance i believe

We need an update of the infamous chart.

 

[Japanmanx3]

I get used to within a few minutes or hours and then proceed to not give a f.

 

[Head.spawn]

These damned indie devs and their pixel art!

 

[BinaryBear07]

I noticed the lighting gets wonky too.

 

[The Spoony Hou]

Wii U version confirmed.

Spoiler

PogChamp

That's more like DS though.

 

[Pie and Beans]

160 No Scope

 

[Lister]

HAHAHA! So good.

[KingdomHeartsFan]

Lol just a bit broken.

 

[PeterLegend]

Dont worry the 10 gig patches from Dice will fox everything

 

[StoppedInTracks]

This looks like Dark Forces!

Please EA, patch this "retro" mode in... PLEASE!!!

 

[NoFoX]

Feelis like CS 1.6 again
Beautiful times

 

[Timu]

160x90??? That's like Atari 2600 res!!!

[Horsemama1956]

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.

You sure it's not just dropping in GPU limited situations but they fucked up and forgot 2 0s and hitting 160x90 instead of 1600x900?

 

[endlessflood]

I heard the PS4 Pro version only drops to 170x100

 

[TheFatMan]

Is this a common bug? I haven't noticed anything like that at all in the 15 hours I've played.

I have noticed some FPS dips, sometimes even pretty bad ones, but nothing like that.

 

[Electret]

I wonder if this is what was wrong with my Xbox then.

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=-0F5oMsijjI

Definitely looks like the same issue. I'm sure it will be fixed, because drops that large in magnitude are brutally disruptive.

 

[Shpeshal Nick]

If you sit far away enough with a 32" TV you won't even notice.

 

[Mikey Jr.]

Pro launches in 3 weeks.

I think I might hold off on this game till then tbh.

Plus by then, it should have gotten a bunch of patches.

 

[diablos991]

I haven't run into this on the Xbox one S.

 

[Gray-Fox]

Will hold of until the remastered version

 

[Asmodai48]

160x90? Whatyearisit.jpg

 

[zma1013]

"If you want higher resolutions, we have a console for you... PS4 Pro, available soon at a retailer near you."

 

[Insane Metal]

I get used to within a few minutes or hours and then proceed to not give a f.

Now I get this... lol

 

[Nags]

Never ran into this on PS4. Is there a way to reproduce it?

 

[diaspora]

3DS version when

 

[EBE]

i.... kinda would like to play it like that. i cant be the only one who likes real low spec graphics. its neat seeing how bad you can make something look lol

 

[MetalGearZed]

I have noticed it a bunch while playing. Usually lasts about half a second but not awful to deal but hope they fix.

 

[MetalGearZed]

well damn. its never been this frequent for me.

 

[SmokedMeat]

This is my problem with this fucking industry. If you didn't shell out big money on an Early Enlister Edition, you have to wait for the rest of your pixels, while the whales get ALL the pixels on day one!

I know the excuse that the whales paying more helps fund pixels for everyone, but it's still a shitty practice!

 

[blamite]

it'll go as low as 160x90

We can do better than that! I won't be satisfied until I can force the game down to literal 16x9!

 

[nogoodnamesleft]

I get used to within a few minutes or hours and then proceed to not give a f.

perfect

 

[StrongBlackVine]

Need to see how this runs on Pro before I commit buying it. 1080p is supposed to the minimum.

 

[Jakartalado]

I heard the PS4 Pro version only drops to 170x100

If it manages to keep the 60 fps, I'm in.

Seriously, how can they move from 60 lock from Battlefront to this?

It has dynamic weather and it's cool, but everything else looks worse and performes worse.

Operations at 40 players and rush seems perfect. They should lock at 40 players on consoles to perform better.

 

[D4Danger]

60fps though

 

[orthodoxy1095]

Wait, so that's kind of neat in a weird way that it doesn't have a bound on the scaling. But still, why would it ever need to go that low?

 

[AstroNut325]

This Biden GIF never ceases to crack me up!

Edit:

Probably getting ready for a DS release!

 

[ROUGE_BLOCK]

Blurryfield 1, the dream!

 

[Newlove]

This reminds me of that Assassin's Creed picture, except in this case the words should be flipped around with BF pictures instead.

 

[Fisty]

How about you early enlisters stop spoiling the fucking game for the rest of us? There won't be any awesome bugs like this left on the "real" launch day

 

[NOLA_Gaffer]

Playstation 2 version confirmed.

Fix'd.
