(TBC Pending Cert) Battlefield V Chapter 4: Defying the Odds Update #1.1 (Hotfix) Notes and Availability Info

1.1? 1.2 I think you mean

Is there any news about the upcoming two Elites, Ilse schattenwolf and Norman Kinglsey? Since they have been announced a while ago now.
Just wanted to know if there is an estimate when they might deploy.

Thanks in advance,
….HQGroup…

@Braddock512 hey bunj. I’ve had a look on a few places and I can’t see the ADS bug mentioned.

To be more specific, I get like a slow mo animation occasionally when ADS and I’ve also had my squad mates report this also.

Additionally I’ve also had instances when the sites are misaligned.

stupid question. but Braddock, any news about camos from the Chapter 3 weapons being ported to the Ch1 & 2 weapons?

Yup. Thanks. Fixed.

I saw a JIRA about this. I know this is tracked by the QA and Dev team. I don’t have an ETA on a fix, yet.

-Braddock512-

What about the insane lag spikes, stutters and other performance issues. Will we get any word on that?

Hey Jeff thanks for the post.

I was wondering what is the DICE team gonna do to make sure stuff like this doesn’t happen again? I’m legit curious to what is happening and why it’s happening. After the Pacific announcement I felt the community was finally starting to be a bit more positive, only for it to be shot down completely by a patch that broke more than it fixed. I know that you know the game can’t use this, the game is on thin ice as it is and can’t use ANY negative attention. DICE needs to spin the game into a positive spotlight, how are they gonna do that?

Please Jeff, I’m trying to hold on here, I really do, but it’s so hard.

Any word on when the Xbox hotfix is coming? I tried playing with some friends over the weekend and it was just constant crashes for all of us. Devastation was by far the worst of it. I really enjoy BFV but at the moment I just can’t play it. Hope it gets resolved soon. Thanks.

Thursday.

Another Hotfix is due out this Thursday, July 11th…

It’s not just on XB1 either same on PC, can’t finish a game of Devastation Conquest

I need to see Ilse in game. She’ll be either absolutely amazing appearance or absolutely terrible appearance.

have you guys watched levelcaps recent video on the state of battlefield 5 on pc? it is honestly a joke i feel like i paid for a beta, this game was not ready to be released what so ever and the last patch broke more than it fixed. when is the performance of the game going to be fixed? optimizing the performance of this game, and also making sure that it isn’t crashing, should be top priority . forget about game mode balance and weapon balance ect, all focus needs to be first put into making this game actually playable, the stuttering issues i am having are completely ruining the experience for me, and i can speak for others also, because many agree. WHAT THE ¯_(ツ)_/¯ IS GOING ON AT DICE.

Gotta say things have run absolutely smooth for me 3 days in a row now on PC.
I can even use DX12 99% problem-free; it caused massive stuttering and lag earlier, thus had to use DX11.
Just to say it differs from setup to setup how the game runs atm.

for some reason my game runs worse on DX11 and better on DX12. My game is running a bit better than last week before the hot fix but it could defiantly be running better. I still need to turn of my Shader Cash and restart my computer to play at the moment witch is super annoying.

This week in Battlefield - EA’s servers go down.
The community holds its breath for another hotfix.
Someone posts a thread that has veiled comments about wimmen on da battlefield.
We all fight over the TTK.

I couldn’t help but hear this comment in Jeremy Clarkson’s voice, as if it was an intro for an old Top Gear episode. I wonder if that’s what you were going for …

Something like this:

When do we get French Male elites wait scratch that how about actually adding the French and not just Britain fighting everything. (And Hannah looks ugly)

This game needs to be put on hold, no more skins, weapons or the odd map, it needs to fixed from the ground up, otherwise more and more players will leave the franchise and not return. This is by far the worst BF ever.

Where is this game going? We have a ton of skins, a dozen or so new guns, a half dozen new vehicles, and 2 new maps for a game launched in Nov 2018.

When are we getting new factions or is it even being worked on? The Americans are already in single player with skins, voice overs and tanks.

The progress of this game due to the GAAS model, instead of season passes, is anemic. It feels like the game won’t be in it’s “final mode” a la 2018 BF1, until 2022!

I can’t find any good info as to what is going on other than “we are working on it”, which is as vague as can be and addresses nothing. Can we get some specifics for the end goals of 2019?
