If you think back in previous BF games, 1-2 months into launch you already knew what maps, game modes, and specific custom settings you prefer to play with. You would’ve found a custom or clan server by now to play on. You would’ve made friends (or foes) on the specific servers, and that’s how community grew from there, and where PC’s longevity comes from.

CS:S & CS:Go have lasted through all these years and have remained one of the largest PC FPS games on the market because of the community. Community servers are what keeps people coming back for more, they get people to login to play a round or two just to say hi, and to shoot at players they see daily. This, is what is missing from BF1 right now. The RSP as a whole was an after-thought. It wasn’t ready, while they’re now trying to add it into the game, we need a working rent a server program now, not 4 months later.

+1, official servers get’s boring very fast.

I’m not really motivated to play anymore. The game crashes every 10-30 minutes (DirectX), my framerate is pretty low on several maps since the december patch (including my favourite map), the game has a terrible progression system, it has a lack of content and I absolutely hate the server browser. #RIPBattlelog  
I guess I won’t play again until they release an update/DLC. This never happened in a Battlefield game before. I don’t even have 50h in BF1 so far. Pity!

I don’t think it’s 25£ wasted but I would have been rather upset paying the full retail or even worse premium.

PC 59,641

Xbox One 87,272

PS4 179,858

Those are terrible figures relative to the consoles for what has been a strong PC game. With those sort of figures and a scale of one to they don’t give a , how much do you think EA care about the lack of and the poor options for rented servers etc on PC.

> Regardless of the BF4 v BF1 stats, the trend will follow a downward direction. BF1 has the same netcode issues as BF4 on large servers (hitreg), none customization servers you can’t even K/B the hackers (so you can’t even create a safe server), plus it now has very wide player hacking issues. I predict BF1 player numbers for PC will decline rapidly in 2017, especially when people find out they have to pay for the next DLC.

most PC folks know they have to pay for DLC. Always have unless you have the season pass. True a lot of people haven’t gotten the pass yet and are on a wait and see status but those , like me, who jumped in feet first and have the pass shouldn’t have to buy anything else. The rental servers, broken server browser, No qm traffic, and hacks are what’s hurting PC players right now.  
Funny that EA doesn’t see the need to fix any of these issues. Its almost as if they are saying we have your money now so deal with it. Oh wait… that’s EXACTLY what they are saying.

its laggy because you are either connecting to a server you have a high ping to or there are several people logging on to the server you are on with high pings themselves. No high ping kickers are built into any of the servers which will always cause lag in the games you are playing. It’s a proven fact.  
The FPS drops I will give you. It seems they and Nvidia /AMD are trying to get this worked out but I agree there are some areas on some maps the FPS just take a header due to the terrain/ stuff going on in that area.

While this is true I would wager a good many of those guys crashing are due to issues on their PC be it OS or driver related. Granted I will give you that some are legitimate however I would wager that the majority of them would be fixed pretty easily by completely getting rid of graphics drivers and doing a fresh load or simply reloading the OS on their machine and fully updating the OS/graphics drivers. Also some could be just plain flakey hardware. You and I both know not all PC gamers are complete and total obsessive compulsives about tweaking system settings and some do a pretty crappy job at OCing their PC and wonder why it crashes.  
Many dont even realize OCing came about when users discovered that the old 386 /486 chipsets would run faster than advertised because the speed of the chip was based on where intel reached a point that errors did not actually happen. Intel eventually locked the chips but sold the unlocked version you could edge more performance out of at a premium as a feature. It however doesn’t mean that the chips will not have errors especially if you push the envelope too far.

It’s unacceptable they still haven’t fixed them! These bugs should never even made it out of BETA ffs!

Yes there are bugs. I hate the revive bug but really it’s just become habit now to do a quick weapon swap as soon as I’m revived. Granted i’m using a Razer Naga so it literally takes me a fraction of a sec to do it but still I would hardly call that game breaking. Its a computer program… there will always be bugs.

That said, the community whines quite a bit and they should either just play the game or keep the whining to a minimum. If your PC can’t run the game and meets the required specs, yeah please complain so we can get somethings fixed… Gameplay wise a tweak here and there but its overall awesome

Gotta agree. Only played a few rounds but what I have played it was a really fun game mode. When they get the servers worked out and if they decide to offer that mode on servers I would probably add one to our clans server group.

Windows 8.1  
GTX 770 4GB  
i5 4670k  
16 GB RAM

Well I can see 2 of your issues right off the bat. Win 8.1 is a crap OS. Seriously its crap. I would go win7 64 bit or win 10 but 8.1 i wouldn’t wipe my with. It is known to be a buggy mess IT wise.

I assume you are running DX11 or I would hope so with your card. I played beta using a GTX 660 3gb but wanted to see all the pretty. I upgraded to a EVGA GTX1060 4gb and haven’t looked back. Hell Im still running a 3770k i7 which is relatively comparable in performance to your i5 and have no issues at all. I suggested to a guy earlier on a budget that he might look at one of these:  
[https://www.neweggbusiness.com/product/product.aspx?item=9b-14-487-292](https://www.neweggbusiness.com/product/product.aspx?item=9b-14-487-292)  
Seems like it’s a solid card at a decent price point. Just a suggestion. Other than OS and graphics cards our systems are pretty similar it seems and I run at 60 -80 fps constantly with little to no FPS loss. I run win 10 and use Razer Cortex to disable all the unneeded crap processes that are running in the background. I have also disabled all the sharing stuff for Xbox and Nvidia etc. I also dont think DX12 is working as it should so I am running DX11 and using a custom config of ultra and high settings. No issues/no crashes. Oh and I have unlocked all the cores on my CPU as well so they all get used and not just half of them which is default.  
Hope this helps man and wish ya luck.

</div>

When i played first time ~30hrs it was fun,after that its started getting boring.Operations was fun,but there is no hardcore operations and it is bad for me. When hardcore mode was released i tried to play it so many times…but for my opinion its unplayable in current state.Snipers/campers everywhere…and you cant catch them cuz engineer have no long ranged weapons,medic rifle recoil terrible and support mg cant kill with first bullet like most sniper rifles and you need more time to set it on bipod. I played a lot of battlefield franchise game on the release and it is first game that i dont want to play now after only two month after release, even with all problems with optimization,netcode,hitpoints,server browser problems e.t.c. which had bf bc2,bf 3,bf 4 on start i played them and really enjoyed them,unfortunately I can not say the same thing about bf 1. And yes…it is first bf game for me where i met so many cheaters.Maybe i will play it later when another patch and dlcs came out,but for now titanfall 2 much much better for me,and it is sad.

p.s sorry for my bad eng.

Time to :

I don’t like the map rotation, it always seems to be the same maps on every official server that I ended up playing and the two maps I dislike the most are the ones I always end up playing.

The medic needs an auto weapon of some kind and assault needs mom non shotguns.

Sniper accuracy is quite poor, many non hits. Sometimes I get such an obvious hit but doesn’t hit. This has always been a problem in bf games but this one especially bad with sniper.
