Notes & Addendums

With Update 4.0 on June 25th, we encountered some significant issues that are impacting gameplay.

We're working with the Dev team to deploy a hotfix (Update 4.0.1) that will be both a server side deployment and a client update.

The following items are the focus of the upcoming hotfix:

  • Client
    • Xbox One Crash Fixes
    • General Stability Fixes
    • Missing Axis Male Facepaint Fix
  • Server
    • Client to Server Hit Registry Fix

Once we confirm certification, we'll share the date and rollout availability times. Stay tuned.

What about Invisible Soldier Skins and Al Sundan on Conquest?

  • These are also top priorities the team is working on and we'll have an update on the status and ETA as soon as possible.

If you play Battlefield, you have an EA/Origin account. It’s the account you linked your PSN ID/Xbox Gamertag to.

It’s “top priority”

But not top enough to get fixed faster than the tank skins.

Different teams, dude. And the issue is more complex than then switching a code off on some skins that hit the Armory when they shouldn’t have.

Well which team is responsible for testing the updates before they go live? Because they suck. Every patch brings more bugs and more issues. None of this frustration is aimed at you Braddock, I know you don’t have a hand in this nonsense. It just feels like dice has completely lost their way. Everyone I know personally stopped playing this, and I’m trying so hard to hang tight and bear with you guys but it’s getting to the point where idk how much patience I have left. I want dice to succeed. They just don’t seem like they want to.

And I feel you, buddy. I really do. I know it's frustrating - and I know patience is wearing thin.

Do you have any Letters From the Front update on Al-Sundan and the ability to play it in Conquest? I remember you mentioning last week that you would have an update for us Monday night.

:) I like that you adopted my whole naming thing for Community Broadcasts.

Anyways, they're still working on it - it doesn't look like it will make it into this hotfix, so we're tracking for the mid-July update. We do have an On the Battlefield video about Al-Sundan that we'll be pushing out for it as well.

Dude, this is the 3rd time now I’m pointing out your error in the weekly reward. Last chance is on Wednesday, not Tuesday.

And the reminder is that you have one day left, so, it’s not an error. Have a great day!

Yea so last chance is Wednesday! Jesus H Christ. You literally thanked me for pointing this out 2 weeks ago. 🤙🏼

And two weeks ago I didn’t move it to Wednesday as it’s a CTA - Call to Action.

It’s really simple, man. If I put “Last Chance” on Wednesday and it ended before someone saw the post or knew, I get railed on here about not letting people know ahead of time.

Therefore, I post this as a CTA to let people know they have a limited time to complete the ToW Weekly Storyline before it actually ends.

And yes, I did thank you because I do appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts, but this is how it’s going to be.

Have an awesome day!

Sorry /u/Braddock512 but I saw in one of your past comment about trying to find the outfit that causes the invisible bug. I tagged you and Welsh in a post I made 5 days ago.....

If its your "top priorities" Then a reply to my post saying yes or no to my evidence I presented should be something you should be doing. I posted already in here with a link to said screenshot and you can look up my post by yourself to see suggestions to see what the outfit could be.

Also you want us to buy XP buffs where in previous games they were free in crates cases? either the money pool for BFV is so low that you need to resort to this awful tactic or greed has become the top priorities for yous guys.

I forwarded the information you shared. From what the team has discussed internally, it’s more than that, though.

So flipping a switch on dozens or even hundreds of vehicle skins is easy, but disabling the few invisibility-bugged skins is just too complex?

It’s actually not related to any specific skin. It’s related to a rendering streaming error that affects seeing some players clientside.

Example : you may see a player that isn’t fully rendered(invisible) but the player next to you sees them clearly.

You really think there are people that think it only takes a couple hours to make a map?

I’ve literally had people say that to me, yes. Or “just turn the lights out and make a night map; should be easy”.

Originally posted by 1MC_

"Its more than that" What do you mean by that? more outfits that cause the bug so disabling one wouldnt fix it? Or is it more of a internal problem where its showing up when not using the outfits people have reported?

Talking with the dev team 5 minutes ago, it’s not even skins that’s the issue. It’s an issue with the stream rendering that affects players randomly.

I noted an example elsewhere, but:

You and I are standing side-by-side on a map. Player C runs by. Your client doesn’t render Player C properly, so he/she looks glitched/invisible at a certain distance, but I see them just fine.

TL;DR - it’s a client-side intermittent (not affecting everyone the same) rendering issue based on distance from the other player.

It's more than one outfit, and quite possibly not connected to outfits at all but a rendering issue.

Bingo. Rendering issue.

A short video on what the process actually is would educate a lot of people, like a vidoc like Bungie does. Or a write-up. Maybe an outline on the process that would explain the start to finish so people can understand what all is involved.

Anyways, take care amigo. We know you're doing your best and it does show and we do appreciate what you do here.

I am working on this badass Community Broadcast/Letter from the Front that includes a 90 minute video about level design - the process, challenges, etc.

If I remember correctly, back in BF1, I think i heard a designer mention that it takes a minimum of 2-3 months per map. And that’s if they have it planned out (location, style, etc.)

We had players modding maps and turning out the lights in BF1 and things literally looked fine. With the average battlefield blue filter, things would be fine. Doesn't help that the BFV character models blend into f**king everything, but that really isn't a "map factor". That's literally flipping a switch, f**king literally. You can preach about "quality standards" but that would ring more hollow than ever, with the current broken state of the core stability of your games mechanics.

 

Stop with the bullshit, we aren't stupid, and your team has been feeding us shit for months.

 

"Blah blah, maps take a long time to make, let me ignore all the negative feedback about how shit the maps are after wasting time developing them with AI quality control. They take a long time (even though topographically there are like three hills on the more complicated maps), so even if they are bad, players should be thankful." - Jeff

Always appreciative of your constructive feedback.

Have a fantastic and positive day!

Any word on netcode fixes? I thought it was on my end but after three days of playing at totally different times I have come to the conclusion that it has to be the netcode, ping spikes making the game unplayable for me at the moment. Barely managed to do this TOW this week.

Some of the general stability improvements will address some of the issue, and we're working on more for the next main update (mid-July).

Is there really a need for axis face paint to be a focus of this fix amongst the other issues? Surely there is a better use of the team's time???

Compared to some of the other issues, it was a really easy fix. This doesn't mean it took priority over other issues - the fix was found much faster and didn't take any significant time compared to other issues like the engine streaming rendering issue resulting in floating hats/invisible players (Just a note, to be clear - that issue isn't about skins. If it was, we could just disable affected skin until it's fixed. It's a bigger issue than previously thought when it first came out and is the top priority right now.)

So that’s it? No ETA for a fix for the severe issues? Like sudden bayonet cam out of the blue, AT mines not doing any damage, Xbox Version crashing all the time?

Good work DICE 🤷🏼‍♂️

Please check the OP - we specifically note Xbox One crashing issues and general stability issues.

Once we should have confirmation of Certification tomorrow and will have final final details on when the hotfix will deploy.

So glad you guys there at dice and EA would way rather put resources in to advertise more games while you cant even manage to fix critical bugs in it. Like the hit boxes for planes. Wtf dice you're really digging your own grave by showing you really dont care about anything more than money. The last bit of money you'll see out of me and many others is what we paid for the game with until you can get your shit together if that ever happens. It's a real let down when people come home from work and expect to enjoy something they paid for when every week theres more problems with it. I've seen more resources spent on advertisement and firestorm than actually trying to fix the game. Yeah I'll get those replies about "oh if you dont like it then why play it" or "you're wasting your time trying to explain you're problems and video games will always have bugs" yeah all games have bugs but they're people atleast know what the fine line between a ready to ship game and an alpha phase

This is definitely wrong. My platoon and squad were finding the same people not rendering. We were even pinging the same guy.

Maybe try playing the live client?

It’s definitely not wrong, but it is random, so it is possible all of you experienced it at the same time.

As always Dice devs/ CMs avoid this topic, an example of really shitty PR management, seriously employ someone to do the PR, its clear you guys have no f**king idea

No, it's clear I'm not at liberty to discuss this particular topic at this time. That's literally it.

And before you downvote this, Dan wasn't the only one fighting to get something additional for Deluxe Edition owners who were with us before/during/after launch. I was the one in the weekly meetings, stressing the value perception from the community and the hit in sentiment - since launch. I've had multiple meetings with various teams about this since - and I'm not currently able to discuss the outcome of those meetings.

They don't know which get invisible, maybe the should deactivate all skins until fixing. But would be bad if the default ones are bugged too...

It’s actually not related to any specific skin.

Ignoring the issue isn't going to just make it go away. Fixing it would probably be the easiest good PR generating measure Dice could do to turn around some the brutal word of mouth that is being posted about the game on numerous websites, it just takes a leader to pull their finger out and show some leadership, but it appears nobody has the balls. Because here we still are months later, still getting non-answers.

Show your customers why it's good to buy a deluxe edition, don't treat them like shit.

I literally answered you and gave you the answer THAT IS AVAILABLE, and detailed a small portion of the things I've done to address this request - and to be clear, while I do agree the Deluxe Edition could've been much better, it was exactly what was offered. That doesn't make it a great thing in my book, but since "I'm the enemy", you feel the need to resort to insults and abuse. I'm done talking to you today.

Have a good day.

Tbf, that isnt clear at all. Those comments are literally in every post by a DICE employee, have been since launch, yet this is only one in a handful of times I've seen it addressed.

This is certainly the first I've heard about you not being allowed to share anything.

And to address your subsequent comment about people getting exactly what they paid for, what about all the people who havent got their shipments yet?

I don't remember having to spend a hour or 2 contacting ea support to get the content I paid for being stipulated in the deluxe edition.

I’m really sorry you’ve had a bad support experience - and doubly sorry that you even had to contact support to get the content you had purchased. That’s not a great experience and I absolutely understand how frustrating that can be. If you have any case numbers you’d like to PM me, I can take a look when I’m back to work on Monday.

In many cases - not all- people have told me they were confused by what they were supposed to get in the Airlifts - which is why we created a blog about it on the Battlefield website so folks can check their inventory against the list. The delivery of the items - straight to your Company - isn’t the best system, and the fact that the items are not tagged/noted/have a little icon showing they were part of the Deluxe offering. This is also part of the conversations we’re having internally (and something I’ve noted with various teams since before January).

I would but I keep dying to invisible people, I can't upgrade my P08 Carbine, hackers ruining the game, and poor team balancing. Seriously. Was on a team that had 37 players on it, while the other team had 25.

The Devs are looking at the invisible player bug as one of the top priorities, with intention to have it fixed in the next main update (less than 2 weeks from now - I know, that sucks but the issue is bigger than a few specific skins. It has to do with the stream rendering of the client. That’s literally all I know about that right now). Team balance - man, I have been pushing for something to address this for a while - mid-round balance, team switch , something. It’s very frustrating, especially if your team isn’t winning and other players quit, then it gets much worse. The P08 issue has been escalated to the dev team, but I don’t have a status update yet. And there have been some core improvements to the anti-cheat tools with the 4.0 update, with more on the way. They’re also working on better reporting - in-game instead of having to use Origin in-game overlay or create a ticket via EA Help. That part will take a bit of time as it requires redesign of parts of the UI.

Glad to hear about the p08!

Just got an update - I’m not in the office (taking some time off for the holiday), but the P08 issue should be fixed with update 4.2, which is coming mid-July. Once I see the patch notes next week I’ll confirm.

So much for having a good one.

That sucks. I’m sorry to hear that. Can you share some specs about your PC? Windows version, GPU & Driver date, RAM? Are you using default directories for the install? (Not laying blame on your PC, but this helps them investigate issues.)

I’ve just shared your comment to our QA in Slack.
