Link to section: Game sharing on Xbox is not behaving correctly for multiple accounts on the same XboxGame sharing on Xbox is not behaving correctly for multiple accounts on the same Xbox

If you make use of the Home Xbox functionality to share access to Battlefield V with other users on the same Xbox, it’s currently detecting the additional profiles as ‘Trial Users’ and preventing you from accessing the full game as normal. This is unintended and we’re working to correct that as fast as possible. We’ll be updating our Trello as we progress with these problems, and we’ll sharing more updates on all of these issues across the usual channels as and when we receive them.
We’re rolling out a hotfix for Xbox One on October 31st to address the above issues.

Sir Yes Sir!!
About Private Games, it’s the best tool for the community.
Thank you Dice Devs Crew :wink:

Will the lunge mine be in the rocket launcher slot, or the other slot?

Hi @Braddock512 ;

While the quality of life fixes are great in 5.0 do Dice dev’s have any plans at all to fix the TTK/TTD imbalance, they’re still very much out of sync on PS4 at least. It’s not been listed on the trello board, so are Dice somehow unaware or is this all we can expect in regard to performance?

Also do Dice have any plans to introduce Skill Based Matchmaking at any point?

Any feedback will be appreciated

Guess sentries in BFV don’t receive extra health. They were getting melted in that video.

Will the existing vehicles receive an update for the specialisations like the pacific vehicles have now?

Will there be a new roadmap now that the current one is coming to an end?

Any chance of Provence and Lofoten Islands ever being converted for Breakthrough and Conquest? Especially now that Landing Crafts are in the game?

I am very happy that the game is finally developing in the right direction. Keep developing towards the American faction and others. Iconic maps should be D-Day - Oamaha Beach Operation Overlord, Pearl Harbor. Only the last two Polish and Soviet factions. The introduction of these factions to the end would complete the BFV game successfully. Thank you for making a big contribution to fixing the game.
Please correct that each faction has the ability to choose any weapon instead of how it is now - one weapon is selected in all factions at the same time.

11

Do anyone see something about “performance”, “stuttering”, “cpu bottleneck”?

12

Help DriectX12 make character menus unusably dark, zero lighting effects :frowning:
Picture available…

13

How is it that i already see japanese soldiers out on the battlefields?

14

who jumped the gun? how did they do it!!! banzai!!! banzaiii banzaiiiiiiiiiiiii . Great going EA! very much looking forward to battles in the Pacific! Korean war too, down the line? 2021!!! please!

15

@Zby_PL there is a option in settings called load out mirroring that’s ticked on, that’s the option that makes it so all factions have the same weapons. i didn’t like it either and it always bugged me because i love historical accuracy and if i’m a german with a thompson it just doesn’t work for me lol hope i helped :smile:

16

why only these 2 ( 3 maps ) ? why not a complete remake of the BF 1942 maps ??? its sad they dont use this great maps …

17

Historically the US Army did not have enough M1 Garands for World War Two and continued to issue Springfield 03’s. Have I missed something in that I do not remember seeing them in BFV?
Do you have any intentions of adding this venerable rifle to the game? I know just one more bolt action rifle to add to the game.

I think the weapons are a little disproportionate !
A pistol will not outshoot an assault rifle and an assault rifle cannot outshoot a sniper rifle at long range .
And guys running away from a grenade or rocket launcher when it blows up at their feet is a little ridiculous .
