*Hello, this guide is directed to DICE/EA. Please, read it carefully andstart listening to players.
☛ What you should fix/change?
• Test everything more times before you release new patch which* break more than it repairs!
*• *Think 10 times before giving any date of new release.
☛ Known and important bugs/errors*
*
*• *problem with the visibility of enemies (invisible players)
*• problem with NETCODE (*not have to translate)
*• problem with platoon emblems visibility
*• problem with FPS drops/lags (he got start a few updates ago) [ALL PLATFORMS]
**• problem with anti-personnel mines (now it is useless)
**• give us private servers
**• problem with loading textures and map loading (sometimes black screen or endless loading still happen)
This is one of many important problems need to be repaired. New skins and other cosmetic crap are not needed!
If you know any other important problem, write here!
Cheers.

A form of RSP is coming later this year so one of your points has been addressed at least.
I’d also add that they should stop listening to YouTubers. It feels like very few of them actually have the interests of the game in mind when they publish videos.
KnazZo just a heads up, I’ve edited your thread title as using special characters and such in order to call specific attention to your thread is not allowed.
Make firestorm free to play as it should have been in the first place.
I don’t like battle Royal myself but it would introduce loads of new players and some would want the proper game.
Cancel last Thursday s update is just introduced far too many problems.
Run another server list everytime you want to do an update like you did with the two ttk types then lots of things can be sorted without annoying your entire player base with serious stupid problems that could have been spotted and sorted out.
You have proved you can do the last one and I can’t see any downside to that, the community will feel involved and will help with the testing.
and what? just swap ‘fix the bugs’ for ‘wheres the content’ whinging? DICE literally cannot win, and this forum and reddit and twitter are to blame. just look at the title of this thread, ‘how to rescue battlefield’ - the language around the game is so so heated! it’s a game guys. don’t like it, kick them where it hurts and don’t purchase and don’t play. the way so many people here and elsewhere act it’s like they’ve been physically assaulted by a dice employee.
The worst of this is that game is not worth his pre-order price Many bugs, problems, missing content from beggining. Normaly when you go to shop and buy TV you will get everythin from start..Tv+manual+pilot etc. just plug and watch. When something is wrong you have warranty and they fixing, giving you another or give money back.
So it’s sad that I pay for game and from start to now on ther’s so many bugs and problems.. And if i decide to return I can’t cuz i have digital version and politics blocks this option.
Game was released 20 November 2018 (game has over 7 months) and still looks like he stop at beggining. 7 months! and what?
No volume of content will make up for a bad game. What they need to do is prioritise the quality of the game above everything else like they did with Battlefield 4 when they put all DLC on hold to fix the game and it did that game wonders.
Completely seperate teams fix bugs vs create content. You would be punishing the community for no reason. Especially tides of war.
Maps maybe, but we did just get a map delay effectively. The problem is the vague communication to the community. EA did not mention the messy patch till just now. 4 days after peeps started screaming from the rooftops.
The community is pissed, but pulling content won’t help that either.
Improved communication. No, I don’t mean the community managers, Braddock knows we love him. I mean from the higher ups, the decision makers, the senior execs. Open, honest, meaningful communication including genuine mea culpa statements. It seems obvious to me that some of the strategy and expectations of the community have not aligned and those are worth discussing. Hiding behind PR speak is so denigrating to your community and just hiding outright is even worse. This needs to change if Dice have any hope of getting the player base on side.
Playability. Nobody cares how pretty your game is if it plays like rubbish. Somewhere along the way this message has been lost and we have great graphics let down by terrible mechanics. I expect this is a combination of issues including pressure by graphic card makers to support new card design (cough, RTX, cough), but also ambition compromised by technical issues with game engines along with design decisions.
Match balance. I don’t mean simply evening up the numbers on each side, I mean a genuine skills balance so games are more competitive. The game stomp has to stop otherwise no casuals are going to persist in the game and without a volume of players, the game is done for.
Deluxe purchasers (I’m not one but I have heard their concerns). Make it right. Give these guys something worthy of committing to your game. Give them a one off pack of Boins and special cosmetics and other stuff. Dice might look at this as a financial loss but I think it’s an investment in getting the consumer onside to become an advocate for your game and your company.
QA investment. The current experience of obvious and game breaking bugs getting through to production is unacceptable.
Firestorm. It’s not my thing but I understand why it was pursued. If you want to compete in the market though it has to be free. Consider it like a demo for BFV proper where interested players will buy the main game or subscribe to Origin. Your current strategy in this space is costing you market share and cannot succeed in the current environment.Sure, there’s hundreds of other things players are upset by, but those are minor in comparison so let’s focus on the most meaningful, the biggest impact ones.
What do you do when your car breaks down and its just cheaper to buy a new one ? You scrap it. What do you do with old, sick and suffering pets that cant be healed ? You put them down. So there is no point to try and revive the game thats on its last leg and gasping for the last breath. New patch comes out with new bugs, and I am not talking about rare bugs, bugs that are obvious and any competent Quality Control Auditor would pick up in an instant! At this point the company is a joke and I will not invest my money in further games they release and I advise you all to do the same. This pathetic bug ridden madness needs to stop once and for all.
I hope you people are all aware that none of this is ever going to change until you all just stop playing this god awful game and hit them where it hurts, their wallets.
I hope that almost everyone will not buy next Battlefield in Pre-order or on in release date. Hope that many players will wait for reviews and buy new Battlefield when they be sure that everything is fine.
For my, I don’t never… NEVER decide to buy Pre-order or game after release (next battlefield). And the reason is that they don’t deserve it.
Exaples for theirs mistakes is of course Battlefield V problems and “Anthem”.
Before they don’t start make good decisions and fix this they can dreaming about a lot of $$$ from new Battlefield and even the most beautiful (lying) trailer gameplay don’t help them
