downgrade means a deliberate lowering a bug/glitch/error that results in a downgrading for some is not deliberate not everyone is subject to the “downgrade” which is why not everyone has this issue so they haven’t downgraded ---

I dont know man, I would consider streaming in low res textures to be a downgrade. According to what we know from the statements, dynamic resolution on textues at least/ is on pc after fall patch. I’m at work and dont feel like looking for the links for those statements. ---

After a week with it, one morning you woke up dress yourself for a meeting, you go in to your beast start the engine and drive, from the beginning you feel something wrong, you pick up a call to Mercedes-Benz and they telling you that at the night while you were sleeping they came and replace the engine to 2000 HP. and you like “WTF, why???” and they’re answer you “We are investigate the issue” and you “Bu BUU But I payed for a F\*$%\*#@ 3600HP” What would you do? ---

Lost hope in this game. and I think a lot of PC gamers lost hope too. ---

Launched the game after 3 weeks (been not in home) and boom - graphic is much worse and performance too! Earlier I got mostly around 50-60fps, now I got 30-40. I wish this patch could never came up. ---

They won’t fix it, no intention to. The new map will shut everyone up, and this thread is dead already. Sorry fans like I said 2 weeks ago. Keep our hopes up for bf5 ---

Dice is aware of the issue and investigate it… lol and 4 weeks later do nothing about it. Our gaming industry in a nutshell. They have been paid in full folks ---

> [@Raptor\_i81](#): > > Aaaaaand they will not fix it , nothing in patch notes about graphic downgrade fix , here you go BF1 the same way BF4 went . if I recall correctly, the “downgrade” in BF4 was not such downgrade. The problem was that when you went through low to ultra, terrain decoration would “add up” on top of each other instead of replace textures, so Ultra quality looked like a complete clusterfuck of vegetation in maps like Paracel Storm, which was never intended in the first place. That said, I’m a bit concerned about no mention at all on fixing PC graphics. The occlusion in Ballroom should be fixed tho, so no more weird indoors lighting ---

Let’s all hope for a silent fix; it can be a glitch on the patch itself that can be fixed with a new compiled version. Sure, I’m dreaming, but one can only dream. ---

Can anyone else confirm a drop in FPS with the latest (Dec 13th 2016) patch? Comparing graphics, things look slighter sharper and clearer, but there’s now a 15% FPS drop.

Because if they “patched the downgrade bug” and graphics are Ultra again, yeah…a slight FPS drop is to be expected. ---
