I know I’m beating a dead horse here, but can we have more variety in the armory updates please? I mean, sure it’s nice to see a new skin every week, but only having two and one being a skin that was in the armory before kinda stinks. And if we could get more new common/rare sets for company coin as well that would be fine. I would just like a little more variety in what’s available and how many new things are available.

I noted this in my studio report for last week.

u/Braddock512 any chance to get the ToW chapter reward skins from previous chapters? We can buy guns with CC but not skins. I was on a business trip during the time when Hellgrau was available for Bf109 and Zitadelle for Pz IV. Would like to buy them with CC now.

Guns can be purchased for CC, but skins may rotate in future ToW challenges.

It’s okay. Do me a favor, when you get home, hard reset your console (hold the power button on the console for like 35 seconds). Then boot up, login, launch BFV, play a round - all the way to the EoR report, and check again. We pushed a fixed that should fix missed rewards.

We are still working on the EoR bug issue, but the unlocks should work now.

Had a quick scan through the comments and didn't see anyone mention it but what's going on with this plane audio bug that has been around for weeks now. Sounds like a plane is flying solidly right on top of your head. It's especially noticable on Fjell and seriously impacts game play as you can't hear anything else going on around you....

Plane audio bug is fixed in the next update, as is the music bug.

Any news regarding Firestorm crashes with DXR and DX12 enabled?

Team is still working on it. We’ve also reached out to Nvidia to see how we can improve this. As a workaround, run DX11 (I know you can’t use DXR with DX11, but it shouldn’t crash with DX11).

This is the first time I received a proper feedback for the past 6 months, regarding this issue. I can’t believe I am saying this, but... Thank you!

One more thing, which I am not sure you know about - if DXR is enabled, the game freezes for 2sec. when you pick up an armor plate from the ground. This happens only with dxr, and only with the first armor plate you pick. Please let me know if you read this.

There’s quite a few things we’re looking at with DXR and Firestorm specifically.

(Edit) my platform is PS4 and my username is Pigeonp00p2003 so you guys can check out the stats

It's cool.

Looking at your previous matches, there's a few that you quit - didn't complete the matches. Try leveling up a specific class - Assault or Medic or Support - go all the way to the EoR screen, then before the next match loads, exit and go to your Company.

Hi /u/Braddock512. What about the first item in the QoL list about sound? Any news to share? Thanks.

The sound team is continuing to investigate the issue that have been reported. The problem, honestly, is that some experience it, some don't. Different setups, etc. can impact the issue.

For example, I have never had an issue with footsteps, sounds, etc. (I was once called a hacker because I heard the dude walking around the south side of the building and when he entered the open doorway, I 180'd and shot him in the face. I could hear him really well - I have an onboard sound device and use A40s. Same with console, though.) So, NOT saying it's not affecting some folks, and with a game like Battlefield V, sound IS key, but it's a difficult issue to lock down due to the variables and non-consistency of the issue.

TL;DR - I don't have any update to share at this time other than they are continuing to look into it.

So it's possible that in the future, the ToW will have reward we already got? Any plan to make something else for people already having the reward?

I must say that hearing make me have a mixed feeling. I always hated the "limited" idea in games in general, but I'm wondering why I'd do the ToW if I don't have a reward.

Let me confirm. Weapons won't be repeated as they can always be purchased after the week ends. It is possible that skins may come back, but most likely they'll be available in the Armory. I'll double check just to be sure.

Well, we haven't spoken about a respawn mechanic officially, as far as I know. I know there's a dataminer out there that may have mentioned this, but unless it's officially shared - usually via a Community Broadcast, blog, or update notes - take it with a grain of salt.

(Edit: This is corrected below.)

If you’re a battle royale fan, our dedication to keep fanning the flames of Halvøy was more good news. Regular Firestorm updates will be coming, across both maps and systems. The first update will unveil new weapons, custom skins, squad respawn, improvements to the loot system, and matchmaking, and a brand-new landmark called The Dome. This drops mid-June.

Thank you for the reminder! Let me follow up with the devs.

Confirmed that, unfortunately, the respawn feature did not make it into this update. I'm pushing to find out more details (it's late in Stockholm now, so I won't have any info until tomorrow at the earliest.)

Thanks again.

Contact EA Help. For nearly everyone else, playing a round to full completion (not quitting at the EpR screen or before) has resolved this.
