Broken Game, Glitchy Game or Just Fine?

Battlefield V Console
1

I’ve been wondering if there are any parallels between the issues people are having on Xbox. My game plays great, and when I read these forums, it feels like most people are playing a different game than me; however, I know others are having legitimate problems with the game. So what gives?

If you’re interested in finding some patterns, copy and reply to these questions, and we’ll see if we get some good data.

  1. Xbox Model: OG, S, X?

  2. Startup Mode: Energy Saving, Instant On

  3. Hard Drive: Internal, External, External SSD?

  4. Average Ping?

  5. Average Download/Upload?

  6. Distance from Nearest Server? (you might have to dig a little to find yours)

  7. Issues That Ruin My Gameplay Experience? (I realize this is subjective…I’m thinking of game-breaking stuff that makes you want to play something else instead)

I know…some of these questions are probably irrelevant; like I said, I’m looking for parallels.

Here are mine:

  1. X
  2. Energy Saving
  3. External SSD
  4. 25
  5. 115 DL/10 UL
  6. 400 miles/650 km
  7. Very few
  • game crashed in the middle of a firefight (killed 2 enemies back to back then a tank shell blew up the building I was in…too much to process I guess)
  • lots of 1-shot deaths, especially from pistols, due to TTD, I think
  • Can’t see end of round summary (10-20% of time)

I’m not interested, I’ve submitted to the feedback thread, made my own posts, and posted in similar threads to validate others. I have 3 videos within the first 2 hours of playing the new patch. The ONLY response I was given by a moderator was a twitter citing it was on Microsoft side. Sorry, not the same issue but I will post my clips here since you seem interested.

this isnt even a blackscreen so funny they quote me to a twitter for Microsoft. Isnt this forum for feedback? but as you see i still tried the FOV “work around” that has been known since BF1. Doesnt work either.

and then 2 types of blackscreens, one was straight after i had to dashboard. but i restarted the game into another blackscreen. Zero other games gave me this issue except for BF1.

I’m also on wired connection.

I watched your videos. They’re legit.

So as of right now, we both use a wired connection.

Is the rest of your setup like mine? If so, that sucks royally. I’d be PO’ed, too.

i’ll check speed when home, but i stream at times and record fine, even video call family. during BF1 i had a xbox one x, now i have the one s, still an issue. no external HD, no energy saving mode either and im pretty good at keep tons of free space and clearing cache.

  1. Xbox Model: X

  2. Startup Mode: Instant On

  3. Hard Drive: Internal

  4. Average Ping? 47-49

  5. Average Download/Upload? 200 down 35 up

  6. Distance from Nearest Server? (Will return to answer this)

  7. Issues That Ruin My Gameplay Experience? The infinite downed glitch is one, although ive only experienced it twice. Other than that, I dont have many other complaints.

6

how do you find out distance from server?

7

I didn’t find great info, but this video claims to show the beta server locations. Since they looked similar to BF1, I used them.

According to this, the US, for example, has servers in Virginia, Ohio and Oregon.

I fortunately don’t encounter too many issues but thought I’d respond for the feedback.

  1. Xbox Model: X (I have an OG and S too but don’t game on those)
  2. Startup Mode: Instant On
  3. Hard Drive: External SSD
  4. Average Ping? 26 on EU and 88 on US East (been meaning to move to a wired connection)
  5. Average Download/Upload: 76mbps / 13mbps
  6. Distance from Nearest Server? (you might have to dig a little to find yours) Pass. I’m in Edinburgh so not sure if this would be London or Ireland.

Looks like a tossup; you’re about 400 mi/650 km from both.

10

Thank you!

11

those are not ideal locations. those. server locations should remain… but uh.. the obvious move would be servers in the costal states

12

i thought their servers were were EA offices are located.

  7. Issues That Ruin My Gameplay Experience: ttk/TTD inconsistencies. Not always, but at times it feels like enemies are bullet sponges and I shatter like glass on contact with anything.

Thanks, everybody.

The only real parallels I’m seeing here are that people who’ve responded are not experiencing many gamebreaking glitches.

16

Bit of a shame that. Would have been good to get some more info to compare.

17

I changed the title. Maybe that will help get more input.

18

just search blackscreen and ask specs in existing threads

19

Then I have to compile the info.

If people include it here, they’re the ones doing the work, rather than me.

What I’ve noticed is, that the blackscreen loading error only happens when I have high ping on a server and I press continue at the end of round to start loading in the next map. If I wait a minute, everything seems fine.
