/u/braddock512 could you give an update on those problems ? Is something in the works ? What's the delay we have to wait ?
They are working on this issue - and I know it’s frustrating. (Wow, that video has significant issues. I’ve seen some hitching, but that was just terrible.) I don’t have an update yet - I’ll work on getting some information today, or an ETA.
Seems like even Reddit replies get the SoonTM treatment. If you're not gonna answer the question just say it ffs.
This is the answer I received from one of the producers:
“This was part of the EA Play giveaway. For a couple of hours after it went live the wrong skin was given out. Once we fixed the issue the correct skin was given. So if players logged on early that morning they may have gotten the incorrect skin. I believe in this case they could call support to get the correct one. These players are the only ones who would have gotten both.”
New elite soldiers coming next week as well?
Correct. Norman and Ilse arrive with the update.
So, basically the team can really only focus on one issue at a time then? Just to manage expectations, it'd be good to know what can be reasonably expected.
No, sorry if that’s how it seemed. They are fixing multiple issue and focusing on critical bugs simultaneously. Obviously, the inability to see enemies or friendlies would take precedence over other items. They’ve continued working on Al-Sundan’s issue because it’s important to get this map out and available on the mode where it will really shine. But that would be hampered if you can’t see enemies.
any news on fixing P08 Carbine's specializations being stuck?
This was answered in this thread. Yes, it is fixed with the next update (4.2).
u/Braddock512 any update on that letter about pilot/tanker customization? I know you said you were working on a pitch to the devs about that.
I know the priority right now is fixing the game, but I’m just curious if there’s any update!
Nothing I can share right now, but we (u/PartWelsh and I) are on it.
If you need an argument to help explain to them why we want this so bad, tell them this: right now, we have 8 soldier outfit presets, 4 each faction.
If you add outfit presets for Urban, Desert, Snow, and Forrest, that ups our outfit combos to 32! 32 different outfits means there’s more incentive for me to purchase BOINS for in depth customization per biome (that’s my 2¢ anyways)
Right now, at the start of the match, I change my outfit and camo depending on the map (the right camo is a huge advantage) and frankly it’s obnoxious, presets need to be a thing down the line.
I absolutely agree that presets should be available. Especially because of the fact you can't just select the headgear and "Apply All" of the same skin on a soldier (like you can with the weapon skins).
Any fix for the PO8 specialization glitch?
It's fixed in update 4.2 (the next update).
Well call me Tom Sawyer and thrust me into the Limelight because Rush is coming back!
Alright, Geddy Lee.
I remember u mentioning the team is working with community health broadcast. Is it still going?
Yes.
How long will Rush be active in the game?! It’s definitely something we’ve all been looking forward to.
It will be active for the Weekly Storyline.
Braddock I've gotta ask... How is the team personally feeling about the games future?
Are they convinced that BFV will reach a point where it becomes a really good battlefield game content and bug wise? or do they think the games troubled life will hold it back forever? What does the team see in its future?
The team is dedicated to Battlefield V - improving the core gameplay, bringing more fixes to bugs, delivering content (maps, theaters of war, and features). Right now, we’re in a rough spot but I can tell you that the devs, CMs, all of us want the best Battlefield possible and we’re going to continue working on getting it there.
So I wanted to ask again, any word on creating outfit presets? I remember one of the managers saying they were going to talk to the devs about it and we haven’t received any updates so far.
It's something I've chatted with the team about - and I know it's something you're definitely interested in, but right now, focus is on fixing the game, getting some maps out, improving the game, and getting to Chapter 5 - The Pacific. If I hear any updates on this, I'll let you know.
Update for the next week? You said last week the update will release this week, and Rush it's only one week or to stay forever?
Rush is part of the Weekly Challenge. So it will be live during the Chapter 4 Week 4 Storyline.
RE: the timing of the update - I stated we were looking to have an update this week. The next morning, I was told by Devs that it was moved out a week to add more fixes to the game. I clarified this on another post on a thread in this sub.
No mention of it. Nothing to report Braddock?
They're still working on fixing the artifacting issue - I haven't seen an update today on the status. Will check on that. The priority was to resolve the invisibility issue, which we should have in the next update (next week).
I asked before but I didn't get a response. Are there any plans to update or talk about updates to Firestorm? I'm still waiting on the new looting UI and respawn system that were postponed from the last patch. Any news on them? Anything else cool coming?
There are plans to talk about those Firestorm Quality of Life improvements. u/PartWelsh is leading the charge on that.
Let's see what's on the calendar for this week!

did you go to college braddock? I'd love to have a job similar to yours one day. if so, what did you major in?
A lot of folks in this role major in Communication or Marketing.
I did not. I was in college for about... 3 months. Then I started bartending and building my own web company (around 1997).
Why would he have to respond to all of them? A simple explanation would be much better than radio silence. We still have no ETA on when Frontlines is coming back, despite the multitudes of posts asking for it. We still don't know when tank customization is coming.
We still haven't gotten an update on the invisible players, other than "squad-play should mitigate the death to invisible players".He's a community manager, a job which requires interacting with the community.edit: strikethrough
Hey Seicocat,
u/Braddock512 Frontlines comes temporarily or on a permanent basis?
This playlist is temporary and will end at 12PM Thursday, Stockholm time.
