I am enjoying the game but it’s rather rough around the edges if I am honest.
Glad I got it half price because I don’t think this has the staying power of bf4.
For PC community the biggest issue is the failed RSP launch. 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.
It has nothing to do with content or bs balance issues people have. 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.
All the other issues really don’t affect things in the grand scheme. Bugs can be fixed, balance can be tweaked, features can be added. But having no proper community servers, people get bored server hopping DICE official server rotation. Not to mention many really hate the rules & settings on the official servers, specifically the hardcore rules right now. The failed RSP launch is responsible for the declining PC playerbase.
The thread you mention is the directX crash errors.And just because it has 3 millions views it doesnt mean 3 million people had this crash everytime they were joining the game you dumbfk.I had 0 crashes from day one and i play this game in a crap pc,what is you f*ing excuse?Always whinny posts since bf3 i joined this forums.Start posting something positive if the only thing you are able to do is bring tears in here then stop we already have enough.And people should start checking their rigs because after the dec patch the majority is running bf1 great.And yes the bugs are not a thing the game is still playable.
A big reason I quit on pc is that their is no good servers, not good custom servers, no good named rented servers to favorite, all Dice servers that have no good game improving limits.
Its totally generic play do to the lack of custom rented servers…
I pretty much gave up on trying to play.. I’m a dual 4g 770 user so I get the crashing problem even tho I’ve played the alpha and beta without any problems, once full release came around I was instantly slammed with these problems. Love the game from what I have played, I just wish I could play without any problems.
Because I spent a lot of $ for upgrades and the game is glitchy and freezes every 20 sec for 2 seconds like a loop for me with no fix in sight. Tried everything short of re-installing Windows 10 and I won’t be doing that for one game to maybe work right when every other one of my games works as it should.
Good game. Poor optimization for a lot of people with the newest rigs(FPS drops, cpu usage). I’ve had little issues with an old i7 4770 and 780ti… Except for the broken borderless fullscreen. 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
Not enough support for operations, which is sad since the mod is freaking awesome.
i gave up this game since the first patch, they ruined my graphics, and i really like the game before the first patch, all the weapons were funny to play with, now they got nerfed because of babys who doesn’t know how to fire them… I don’t have fps problems, and i really tank myself i didn’t waste money on premium this time
And Kudos to you for being able to maintain a decent Community in your servers, despite the failed RSP launch! Your Hardcore SIR Server is the funnest server around right now, if you ask me. It’s the only server I’ve played in for a couple weeks if I happen to boot up BF1. Only server worth playing in.
The game runs fine for me. Looks awesome and never crashes but, I find it very boring and hard to play more than 2 maps at a time. There seems to be no goals to attain as far as weapon unlocks. There really is not much for me to “shoot for”. I enjoyed the little side missions that BF4 had for us. This just seems to be a mindless game with no pay off. If there was better rental server support, I could at least enjoy a few rounds with many of my online friends like I did with BF4. Honestly, BF4 also bored me after about a year or so. I kept playing because it was fun to hang out with the 150 or so random friends I met while playing on well run servers.
I have seen folks quote this, please note BF4 was released in Oct 2013!! the stats you are comparing BF1 to is 2015 BF4 Stats. So in essencea 2 yr old BF4 is slightly behind Bf1 which is 3 months old. This does not bode well for BF1
Basically this. There are so many annoying bugs like having to switch weapons upon being revived, not being able to look up or down (also after being revived), and extra tank spawn bug which have yet to be addressed. Add this to the fact that a large part of the player base can’t even play the game without getting DirectX errors and you get a game with little to no community. The fact that I have to pay an extra $599 to play the game without crashing all the time is insane.
Yes there is alot of bugs and why oh why do people think it’s ok to spend most of the time changing the graphics settings on different maps just to play at 60fps!
