_Battlefield Bulletin: "NEWS: The 4th December Update for #Battlefield will feature some audio fixes while DICE continues to work on solving what’s wrong with footsteps / sound mixing issues. The patch after the next one will include more fixes "_ So Dice doesn’t know the cause for the missing footstep audio. This goes along very well with Dice not knowing the cause for the Time to Death bug: Speaking of the TTD issue David Sirland says: “…We are clearly seeing the issue - but not the cause”. So based on this it appears December 4th won’t fix anything. Frustrating. ---

That’s really bad news. Really bad. The TTD issue is really beginning to get to me. And I feel a lot of people feel the same way, if not already. ---

Maybe they should instead give tanks to everyone along with the Panzerfast nerf. We will have fewer TTD problems if we are in bulletproof vehicles who need multiple slower than bolt action shots to kill each other. ---

Or give everyone an elite kit pickup. It’ll be perfect timing for them to make a comeback. I call dibs on the Trench Raider! ---

np, its still alpha, real game relise will be in march, cuz they are incompetent to make game in time, look what they did in 1 more month they delayed?, NOTHING, bugs from alpha still in game, bugs from bf1 still in game, but all gut, you can customize your character with various skins that look all the same, BUT all gut, you can change characters, cuz PRIORITIES right? that couldnt even finish singlepealyer, and even that is copy-paste from BF1, funniest thing is they moved devs from BF1 in second DLC (and those dlcs after that are pure garbage) so they could start work on BF5 already, and all that time wasnt enough for them to relise finished product..why you have chapters? cuz they are incompetent to finish game in time. ---

You guys are optimistic if you think the Dec 4 patch will fix more than a handful of issues. This is DICE, they operate 2 months behind in terms of bug fixing. They have to put out new content at the start of DEC and that would take precedence. The game won’t have proper fixes until Feb next year. ---

Considering how much time it took for them to reverse Ammo 2.0 and how much time with took for them to fix the revive bug, I don’t doubt it at all. ---

I think the main annoyances are TTD/Netcode, sound issues (footsteps and silent vehicles) and bombers (especially on some maps, like Fjell). I still think this has the potential to be the best BF-game ever, but sometimes these things happen too often and it can really make the game frustrating. We know that at least some minor annoyances will be fixed (autospawn at start of round etc.) and I really hope they will improved some of the major issues on dec. 4. But the history of BF4 and BF1 says that Dice will do a lot of good things, but often it takes some time to fix things, so I’m not really optimistic about the next patch. But in the end, if they at least fix some of the annoyances it will still be a less frustrating game. ---

I’m starting to not even bother using audio to listen for enemies cos it’s pointless as it is. Hope I don’t get into a habit ---

Without spotting the audio info is crucial. It worked in BF1 extremely well. Now you can’t tell where fire is supposed to be coming from. BFV is so half baked I’m tempted to forget about it for another 6 months. So many technical flaws it’s a real chore sometimes.
