We'll be launching the next round of nominations for DICE Friends on Friday, July 26th, 2019. More info to come on that.

Our next Nvidia GeForce RTX GPU contest is coming (focused on images - natural screenshots, edited shots, etc), with the rules being finalized by our legal team. We're hoping to roll it out around July 30th, pending final approvals from the Legal team. More info to come next week.

Al sundan CQ?

They're still working on it.

I know, I know, I know. *sigh*
They fixed the crashing issue that prevented it from being released, but now there's a artifacting (visual bug) issue that puts this giant black object in the sky, which renders the map unshippable in this state.

I'm really sorry, I don't have an ETA and I absolutely understand how frustrating this is - I'm a huge Conquest fan/player myself and this map SCREAMS Conquest.

At this point, I hope with the up coming update/patch we just receive AL Sundan Conquest along side the Marita map, that would be awesome. get 2 new Conquest maps at once. Should also make a rotation of just those 2 maps to really get play ability on them.

Hey Steve, unfortunately, I can tell you right now that is not going to happen.
Marita will release before Al-Sundan Conquest. (As noted in my reply above, there's some serious visual issues affecting the deployment of Al-Sundan that are rending it unshippable. The team is working to address those, but we don't have an ETA. I'm truly sorry, I know this is frustrating.)

I saw this also in other maps, but they are small and not that big. But they are stil bugs

If you can capture any of those - shoot me the images to my inbox or you can email them to me at [[email protected]](mailto:[email protected]).
Make sure to let me know the platform, mode, and map.

Thanks.

How nobody saw a giant black artifact in the sky of the map in early testing?

That’s why it’s not released yet for Conquest. It wasn’t there until we fixed the crashing.

What exactly is visual artifacting?

Is Battlefield Currency going to carry over to future titles? Or does it remain specific to whichever title you bought it on? Or is it going away altogether?

It’s a little early to tell, honestly. We’re a ways off from even talking about another BF title. I’ll look into it. Can’t promise there will be much info to share for a while, but I’ve added it to my list.

It happens on Aerodrom every now and then.

Shoot me some video/screenshots if you can.

Do you guys plan on fixing the lighting bug that occurs when looking out a window?

What platform are you on? Any specific map this occurs the most? I haven’t noticed it on PC, personally, but your experience may differ.

When will the level cap increase? Says August, but that’s obviously open ended. Early? Late?

We haven’t locked a date just yet.

Mate, this post really captures how frustrated you are. I hope everyone now understands how stressful this must be. Personally, I reckon you should change roles with one of the higher ups (*cough* Lars *cough) for a couple of months so they can a) finally understand what the hell they have done to the player base, and b) you can implement the ton of changes that we keep on ranting about. And maybe throw out this dinged out version of frostbite while you're at it.

Trust me, they understand how the community feels. I firmly believe that in my heart. They’re all fans of the franchise themselves, and these issues frustrate them as well.

I wouldn’t want to trade positions. The reason I’m here is because I am a gamer first, and a veteran of this franchise. I want to be in the trenches with y’all, the community, because I came from the community.

I know that in the recent past some of my replies may have seemed testy, which was never my intention, and I’m sorry if my phrasing or tone came across as anything other than as a passionate gamer who’s feeling y’alls frustration.

But I believe we’re gonna get through this. I have faith that we’re gonna right this course and BFV will be exactly what it deserves to be - one of the best games in the franchise. But it’s gonna take a while, and I’m here for the long haul.

u/Braddock512 Could you perhaps provide an update on the progress of Breakthrough's development for Al-Sundan?

This is my fifth time asking over several weeks to no avail. Please respond dude.

I have no update at this time.

Shouldn't the release of Elites be the last thing the team is working on right now? Reading that in the notes just kind of irked me considering how many bugs and other problems the game is having at the moment. Something like that should be discussed after the new patch goes live and how well the game performs afterward. No offense, but when new Elites are being released is the last thing I'm concerned about.

Update 4.2, Marita, and the Elites have been scheduled to all be released on the same day. Of priority is the update, which will go live first.

I understand where you’re coming from, I do, but we’ve been asked about them throughout the week as they are scheduled to go live with Marita, so I wanted to give a quick status update.

It never had 200 upvotes. And that really doesn’t even matter.

I think, at max, it had maybe 12.

Have a good night.
