[2019] This Week in Battlefield V - June 10th Edition - Outpost comes to Battlefield V

Any update on the performance issues? Not just the lag when killing players. We lost a lot of FPS in the last 3 patches or so. This is more important than content

The videos are messed up btw, I hear every word twice

Weird. I'm working on it. Will remove the videos for now to fix the audio.

Same. Like a weird reverb/delay that gets worse as the clip goes on.

We didnt need the overly produced devs talks. Dont get me wrong, they were really good but seemed unnecessary. Thank you for recording again! Looking forward to future ones!

More game modes??? I loose my self in the menu. Instead spending hours brainstorming more modes, and pushing them to players, why not improving platoon support, competitive scenario in game. Things like this make a stronger and loyal community.

Just make battlefield, feel more like battlefield.

Braddock would you ever consider bringing out a rotation of limited time game modes so there’s always a ltm on the go cuz I really enjoy the ltms as they shake up the game

Hey u/Braddock512,

Can you confirm at all if any new music/ost is coming in future updates and DLC, it's always nice to have new music paired with the geography of the maps and factions. The Battlefield games have always had great music and i'm enjoying the soundtrack to this one immensely so far.

And about the game-breaking performance issues?

Originally posted by thegreatvortigaunt

BFV is basically completely broken, borderline unplayable for some people right now. Braddock is very obviously avoiding questions about it, as usual...

Originally posted by Prophetic_Pisces

It would be nice to get an update though

Originally posted by pvitti86

The Stuttering on PS4 pro is atrocious. This must be fixed. Virtually unplayable

Is the team aware of the see through wall bug on Devastation?

Hey u/Braddock512,

One last question, any place we get one of those sick T-Shirts you were wearing in your On The Battlefield video? Looks like an awesome Battlefield V Shirt! Loved this format for a Dev talk video by the way. Very real and natural!

TBF to that guy, the original question was asked 14 hours ago and his was 7 hours ago. It's completely understandable that you're not on here 24/7 to answer everything, but it did look a bit weird that you answered the issue about the YouTube link pretty quickly but didn't drop a line about the issues still being worked on until now. I think that's where the frustration came from.

Regardless, thanks for the update, hopefully it gets fixed soon.

I literally just answered your question. I’m not avoiding it. Jeez.

What? You replied to two of my comments at the same time, it’s not like you responded and then I said you were ignoring us. Do you not understand how Reddit works?

But the game isn’t “completely unplayable”.

I’m sorry buddy, but yes it bloody is. Across all platforms people are reporting severe performance problems, to the point that combat is unplayable due to micro stuttering and plummeting frame rates, plus more bugs than anyone can count - a few of which are game ruining or even game breaking.

You are really not in a position to get snippy or frustrated with your customers here. Just because some future content has been announced, it doesn’t mean the game isn’t still in a subpar state right now.

And I have a problem with you being unable to play the game the way it should be and with your frustration because my goal, my job, my passion is to have a community that is engaged and having fun

Not being funny mate, but claiming this after saying:

I know it’s frustrating, but the game isn’t “completely unplayable”

...doesn't exactly feel sincere. Responding to reports of major game ruining performance issues and bugs with essentially "nuh-uh" is just asking for criticism. My issues have even been as bad as many others, but I've still had to flat-out quit matches due to game breaking bugs.

DICE really doesn't help themselves sometimes.

• Endless bleedout is the worst and most common, and is literally gamebreaking. Can't respawn or be revived after going down. Have to quit the server entirely.

• Framerate tanks near other players every now and again, making combat patchy and frustrating. This has been reported across all platforms.

• Reviving often fails to start on even slightly rough terrain even with the button prompt visible, leading to some frustrating deaths when trying to revive under fire.

• The damage indicator is so utterly broken now, it seems to show false damage dealt more often than correctly. Barely scratching someone with a grenade will show 90+ or even 120+ damage, so you go in to finish them off and it turns out they're still near enough at full health. This is extremely common and a major regular issue.

• The commorose has been broken since launch, and will fail to follow the mouse cursor correctly, often leading to the game dropping a tank on the other side of the map and wasting battle points after requesting an artillery barrage.

Assuming you're being sincere with this comment, I really hope you have these on record already mate because these are all very very common complaints. Awkwardly trying to claim that the game isn't broken really hasn't inspired confidence.

Can I complete Tides of War challenges on campaign? I can’t get a single fire kill no matter what I try. I’ve equipped incendiaries on all classes and I’ve snuck up on campers and doused them in it while shooting at them and I can’t get a single kill with it.

/u/Braddock512 have the devs ever been told that the players hate the final gold challenges for most of the weapons? If so what was the result? Is there a chance the final challenges will get a third option that can be done over time?

Originally posted by SPITSPHIRE

@/u/Braddock512 are you guys aware of the current bug with the 250kg bombs on the ju-88c?

the ingame loadout description claims the bomber comes with 8x 250kg bombs, yet ingame since being released it only has 2, i made a post commenting on this a few weeks ago but i could never get a response: https://www.reddit.com/r/BattlefieldV/comments/bu0rsh/why_is_the_ju88c_listed_as_having_8_250kg_bombs/

could you or one of the other devs comment on this, is the description wrong or is the bomber supposed to have 8 bombs?

Originally posted by FuT-Fourzero

Braddock, I asked the question earlier just to get a rough idea of when to expect something and if the devs are also aware of the FPS issues since there were some talks about the stuttering / lag when killing players and that's not the only issue - the overall FPS is much lower. Anyway, you're doing a good job as CM and you answer our questions quite often, don't worry about it. We know you're not the guy fixing the actual game. You don't need to explain yourself to others. I know some people (including me) push hard sometimes but it's only because we want the devs to focus on the important issues and this subreddit is full of some garbage memes upvoted to the top instead of important game issues. The amount of karma farming people these days in every subreddit is ridiculous (like their lives depend on it)

Since you wanted some specific locations that are problematic:

• Grand Ops Rotterdam (Airborne) at B area (up and below the train) the game doesn't feel very good even when there's nothing going on.
• Devastation inside the Church feels pretty bad when it's populated.
• Devastation Breakthrough at the first sector (B) doesn't feel good once you go in the middle of the objective.
• Devastation Breakthrough at the last sector (A) feels like the game is trying to render itself twice. Just not smooth

It's not a PC problem, I'm using a very optimized Windows for gaming only with an 8700k @ 5.4, RAM @ 4000 and a 2080 Ti @ 2100 core / +1300 memory. I've tried without overclocking, shader cache on / off in NVIDIA settings (off helps btw), I run ISLC (Intelligent Standby List Cleaner) so it clears my cached memory often because Windows is terrible these days and doesn't clear the cached memory anymore which causes stuttering (that only happens in BFV for me). I don't even wanna know how people play this without ISLC + the current issues (lower FPS & stuttering + lag when killing people in a tank)

I'll also say this: If you go play BF4 for a bit and then go back to BFV, you'll realize just how weird the game feels. BF4 has a true 240Hz/FPS feel, whereas BFV at 200+ FPS still feels like you're playing at 130 in some areas. I don't know what the deal with that is, maybe it's the UI hogging resources because when I stopped tracking assignments the game became much better.

Additional issues that I hope are being tracked:

• Crocodile aiming up / down is 5 times slower than left / right

• Can't repair the Crocodile's turret sometimes. Same goes for the engine (very rare) but the turret happens quite often.

• The 38t and the Archer have different sensitivities compared to every other tank. 38t's sensitivity is like 3 times slower and the Archer is 2 times faster than a Tiger. This needs to be fixed or just add sensitivity sliders for every vehicle so we can fix it ourselves which will also prevent any future patches from breaking it since you would be able to always fix it yourself. Nowadays when I use the 38t I have to aim in 3rd person because tracking with it is so damn slow when you play at close range. Being a slow sens player isn't helping.

• Same as above: A few patches ago when the tank's turret speed was changed it broke everything sensitivity wise. I couldn't use slow first person sensitivity while also having somewhat fast 3rd person sensitivity (for scouting) which was incredibly frustrating. I had it before, but the patch broke it. Managed to make it work with some weird asf settings using uniform aiming but how many new players do you think would be able to figure this out? Please talk to the devs to add a 3rd person vehicle sensitivity slider so when you move the main sensitivity slider for vehicles it should only change your first person sensitivity instead of both first person and 3rd person.

• Any update on that tank input lag in first person non zoom? This will become a very obvious problem to the whole community once Hardcore comes with the launch of custom servers since you can't use 3rd person in HC.

• The APDS shells are still bugged on the Archer. They do 10 damage and bounce off A LOT and this has been going on since the launch of that vehicle. The APCR was fixed very fast on the Boys AT Rifle, can we have some love for the Archer?

• The grenade indicators keep getting worse. You can't even tell there's a grenade next to you half the time because the indicator randomly decides that it doesn't want to exist. Planetside 2 started having this problem a few years ago and it feels just like it if you've played that game.

• Commo rose & Squad Reinforcement menu issues are still here. There was a detailed thread made about it 2 months ago. I've also noticed that you can somewhat play around the Squad Reinforcement issues. If you select a V1 / Artillery, wait 1-2 seconds before using the binoculars and the yellow marking dot will work 99% of the time. If you do it too fast it bugs out. Obviously I don't wanna wait 2 seconds standing like an idiot but thought I'd share this so maybe the devs can use it to track the bugs.

Guys, got the Last Tiger bug on Ps4...will they ever fix that?? Come on, I've written 2 times in this sub, both time to report a bug and seek for help... What should I do?

Originally posted by AndreaCoccia

I've done everything, the game is updated, but still even if it tells me that I've collected them all, in the first page it tells me 0/6 and doesn't make me read them!

Did you get a date on this yesterday?

Originally posted by AndreaCoccia

Ok, tomorrow I'll do it then. Thanks for your time and for the help!

hay just doing a check in to see if you heard anything back on the issue with the bombs?

Originally posted by Mista117

Will there be a hotfix for the performance issues? As someone who left in February waiting for content, came back for the new map, but now doesn't want to play as my framerate has dropped by about 15/25 on average per map, it's gone back on the back burner as I used to get at least 80FPS even in the worst maps for performance.

Originally posted by BlayneCoC

Can we please, please, please be given some insight on the micro stutter and the progress if any you guys are making. It’s been almost 3 weeks since I’ve been able to play, getting on occasionally to see about a fix and there’s none.

Please...something. We are desperate.

Can we get the dude to shut the f**k up everytime something happens?

He's constantly talking.

Hey u/Braddock512 You didn't react to my last tagged post, so I'm just gonna repost everyday until on of the CM's acknowledges it.

I'm not able to purchase the M1922 MG, even though I should. It's not even listed as a supporter weapon in the menu and I only found out about that weapon when I got killed by it and googled it's name.

Many others seem to experience the same thing, is the team working on it?

Edit: here's the link to a thread pointing out this issue

So the Firestorm changes won't come in mid-June? :(

Originally posted by FILLIP_KIRKOROV

I'm confused. So will the update be at the end of June or next week?

Originally posted by Astug

Does this mean that those affected by the stuttering/performance issue since the last patch will have to wait another 2 weeks to able to play again? :/

Is this week the switxhblade? Because I'm not jumping through hoops for a switchblade...

Originally posted by Daubbles

The guy that talks about the objectives.

In the game mode, because the towers are constantly changing hands or being destroyed or being built, he is talking non-stop.

Hard to get that immersive feeling when there's a dude over the radio telling me everytime something happens, especially when most of it doesnt effect me unless I'm standing on the point.

I get that it's default, but this game mode is like a full speed scramble from point to point, so he's talking the entire game.

Hey guys, I just picked this game up a week ago, and I have a couple questions--

Where the f**k is Domination? Where the f**k is Rush?

Thanks in advance. I was enjoying the playlist on Mercery with domination on there, and I guess that was the only way to play domination? Super bummer.

Originally posted by Astug

I appreciate that, it just sucks that I'm not able to play rn. :(

Originally posted by SPITSPHIRE

for clarification was the description wrong or is the bomber supposed to have 8x 250kg bombs?

as is the ju-88c is one of the hardest planes to level up due to the way the upgrades are handled, if you go down the left hand tree like i did you very quickly lose the ability to deal dmg until you get to tier 4.

couple that with the fact you only have 2 bombs to begin with and it quite literally is a nightmare to level up, i've been stuck on tier 2 since it was released.

Originally posted by MrDrumline

especially the stuttering.

Awesome. My poor PerfOverlay graph is tired of being stabbed by the scary mean orange CPU spikes. DX12 in particular is extra unstable, which is a shame because I'd love to use my RTX card.

What about Xbox crashing? How many more weeks until this is fixed?

Originally posted by NjGTSilver

Thanks, but when is the next update?

But the performance is also pretty crap on Consoles. On my Xbox One X, I get constant lag and delays. I have the best internet in my city and my Xbox is fairly new. Please can you guys address the console performance??
