Battlefield V Bugs & Issues

We have noted that the Xbox One fix from Update 4.0.1 (Ch 4 Update #1.1 Hotfix) did not improve the situation and we are tracking further issues with regards crashing and stability.Meanwhile, our team is also prioritizing the Invisible Soldier bug - as this significantly impacts gameplay (it isn't fair if your enemy is invisible but you're not, obviously), as well as other top gameplay impacting bugs. We'll have more information to share next week in This Week in Battlefield V.

______________________________

I know it's very frustrating and I can't blame anyone for being angry, upset, negative - that's 100% understandable. On behalf of u/PartWelsh and the team, I offer my sincere and humble apologies for the frustration this has caused and the impact this has put on playing Battlefield V.

Very frustrating times indeed. Any news on Al Sundan CQ?

The team’s focus right now is stability, major bug fixes, and the invisibility bug. Getting Al-Sundan on Conquest is also a priority, but we need to fix the game first. (Probably not what you wanted to hear regarding Al-Sundan, but I wanted to be honest with you. As soon as we have an update/ETA, we’ll let you know. Sorry, bud.)

Got a link where I called you an idiot? I guarantee you don’t, because I didn’t and I wouldn’t.

Or where I banned you for feedback? Probably not, unless within your post you violated the forum rules and had already previously received warnings.

Or, perhaps, did you receive a timeout for abusive language, per the forum rules? I can’t say for certain, as I don’t know what account you post under on the forums, but if your post here is any indication, that’s closer to the truth than your accusation against me.

As you brought up the Epic vehicle skins issue, I’ll reiterate the facts. Flipping a switch on the marketplace for items is much faster than triaging an issue with the core game. The Devs have to identify the bug/issue, confirm 100% reproducibility, create a new build with the fixes, put that build into an integration client, test it, confirm it again, go through certification, then roll it out to retail client. It’s apples to oranges as far as difficulty goes, but that doesn’t, in any way, diminish the negative impact this is having on the community.

And for that, I am sorry for the frustration these issues are causing. It’s frustrating for me to have to deal with as a CM and a gamer as well, and I know it’s infuriating to the community.

Take care.

Yeah I know that, but I thought it's been fixed with the hotfix...

We’re pushing for this fix with the next main update (4.2) for the client.

There's also an issue with specialisations not working on Xbox One if it's not already been raised. The text to confirm and cancel are misaligned and you can't activate any specialisations (on P08 at least).

I believe that is tracked for the next main update.

It does for me. Maybe should be updated though, still shows Xbox One stability issues as confirmed fixed.

It was updated before the hotfix. I’ll correct it today.

That could be the case

If you can PM me your DXDiag and a video of the issue, I’ll forward it to the team to investigate. Also, if you want, maybe an email contact if they have more questions.

Anyone getting overly loud continuing fuselage wreckage noises?

I saw that on Twisted Steel from a plane that crashed on North of the bridge. Sent it to the team.

Hey Dice I have a question that I how someone from your company can answer. Why can't we have vote kicking enabled on servers? Since there's no active admins there's no way to police servers and if theres a hacker on they just kill the server forcing everyone to leave. What's the reasoning behind not having it? Games like MOHAA and COD got this right about 20 years ago.

The last time I talked to someone about it, it was mentioned that they had serious concerns that it could be abused. Like, mob mentality hanging up on someone who may not be cheating but is top of the leaderboard getting kicked.

Will that update be next week, or the week after that?

We currently have a main update scheduled the week after. I’ll know more about any additional updates on Monday when I’m back at work.

any news about last month community survey result? i want to see it. u/PartWelsh said they will share the result on his twitter but its been 5 days...

We got super tied up managing the various updates in the last week so it got bumped for me to look at this week.

why do they keep adding and pushing squad conquest? if I wanted 5v5 i'd go play the million other fps games out there.

Luckily, Squad Conquest is 8v8.

Were still getting Marita though right? You're not going to make us wait even longer now because you dont want to release two maps so close together?

Marita is still on schedule.

I believe, doesn't mean he knows...

I wasn't able to confirm over the weekend as I had some personal obligations to attend to. However, from the Update Notes for the next main update: "It’s once again possible to reset the specializations of the P08 Carbine."

The S2--200 is still not in My Company for purchase after the week has finished.

Now that it's after the weekend after the first week I still don't have the S2-200 available in my company to purchase. Aren't the weekly gun rewards suppose to be available after their week has finished.

Just talked with the in-game Armory/Company team. It "Should be available to purchase on Thursday the 11th".
