If he’s not rested after 9-10 of paid leave (did he birth the baby himself?) then I don’t know what else will.
Resting while taking care of a 1 year old solo isn't really compatible :)
Request option to have netgraph show on death for about 5 sec so we can see where the damage we took came from.
This is a really good idea. /u/drunkkz3 ?
That's all well and good but these bugs are so pervasive that your team shouldn't have much issue reproducing them.
I just played with the netcode graph on for about 30 minutes and ran into these issues 3 times in that short period. My ping was 7 and the network connection looked very healthy, something is wrong in the netcode.
It's very hard to mimic real world network properties - hence why we have actual netcode debugging in the game, as it gives us the very best and real data from the real world.
So, if it was easy to reproduce (especially with on a global scale stupendously good internet in Sweden for instance) - we would have done so already, the low hanging fruit is all plucked already. That said, this issue might not be netcode/networking at all - it could be some other issue, and getting proof for this via netgraph is very valuable too.
So this is why we ask for video with the netgraph enabled from many sources, it helps narrow down the issue much quicker (and in many cases goes from unreproducible to having information enough to put en engineer on looking at a fix and the code for a specific issue area).
Thanks!
Read moreIf you do get this - turn on the netgraph and record video - that way we can actually find bugs related to netcode (if indeed it is).
Does it need to be a video? My pc takes screenshots constantly and automatically and last 7days I get put on eastcoast USA SOLO firestorm servers as an European pc player from the Netherlands around 50% of the time. "Traffic jam" day for bf V on pc is on a Sunday in Europe and even then I sometimes get put on east US servers. Here this Sunday 19.00 my time (CET = paris / Amsterdam time) https://1drv.ms/u/s!Anbs4-O7K_T8g5x6DgkcopGQJgUplQ?e=LEiZ9o It is with netgraph I mean server instance. P.s. I have "options > gameplay > advanced > network performance stats" set to this : SHOW ON PROBLEMS. So I see immediately when I get put on an US server when I see this bar show up. Personally I think it is done on purpose and I can live with it. I think they did it to help fill US servers where there are just less players then in Europe or else firestorm will be dead there. But you guys need to be quick because even this trick will wear out soon. And by quick I mean make it also available as a FREE2play stand alone. This firestorm is way too good to let die. And personally only then I will start buying skins because i hate the base game. And find firestorm the best battle royale of them all. Do it after you patched the loot at dead bodies that is confirmed worked upon, then you will get a very very good start. Don't do it(F2p) before that is patched because that is for most the biggest issue.
Last Friday (31 may) a friend of mine who is not on pc bought the game on xb1 (I told him firestorm is da bomb) , this Sunday during the daytime - so not a crazy night time playing time - he tried firestorm solo. He said after 2 games he just left it. The waiting time is longer then the playtime. I know he is a new player so you get killed quickly then BUT he said waiting was like 10 minutes each time. And that is on xb1 on a Sunday afternoon in the EU. Make it F2P.
Yeah video With the netgraph shows what is going wrong and in what order. o it's preferable and much much better of a tool.
Here is some footage with the netgraph info on. You can see the yellow latency symbol is there constantly and it is for every game I play now.
What region are you playing in?
Remakes are new because they take as much time to create as a completely new map. It also helps that this version of metro looks completely different from BF3 and BF4's metro and will play slightly differently as well.
More effort. It needs to play well AND feel like the original at the same time. It's a tricky balance. And no - there is no magic copy paste level design tool..
Video Witt netgraph on? Would help loads
Well, you took it with humor and I respect that a lot. :) Please never forget that people like me, who get a bit vocal, are just overly passionate about the game. Its never personal.
I know only too well, and no personal ills taken ever. It's a game and a service of entertainment after all - not literal life and death.
We wouldn’t need to tinfoil if you were transparent
Just count good things in the good column when you see em and we'll get along just fine :).
I know there's lots to do on the transparency front, but this instance was and is just a nice surprise, nothing more (or less).
Hope you enjoy the map!
Or, it could be both. But noooo you wouldn’t act like that, right ? Not Dice. Not EAs Dice. Not them
I'd say that would be giving us too much credit :)
And you learned about it today? #skepticalface
Making sure it works properly (and early by one day) instead of hoping automatic publishing works 100% is a smart call IMO. It works doesn't it? Take it for what it is, one day early access.
Yeah, you are totally right. And I'm sure, you guys did a great job. I will test it out with my buddies later today.
Hope you enjoy it!
Because they always release stuff on thursday
Yeah, and wanting to make sure it's smooth sailings = one-day early as people are in the office to fix issues. Smart call.
Like I said, u/tiggr, it's not about facts, but more about the impression I got. It even saddens myself, since I'm a big fan and even try to be a voice of reason on reddit and twitter, while almost everyone else is overly critical and negative.
I hear ya - but sometimes a good thing is just that :)
Your attitude is smug yet your game is garbage? 🤔
It's not though. And smug is the last thing I am. Just calling out something that should be positive for what it is.
Or, it's because tomorrow is a national holiday in Sweden... #tinfoilsomeplaceelse
u/PartWelsh I wonder who is in charge of making these decisions? So many things have been SO out of sync with the community.
You're getting a lot of bashing tonight, so I just wanted to tell you, that you and u/braddock512 are doing an amazing job of keeping the community up to date. It has certainly improved a lot since launch. Keep up the good work.
And bring back u/tiggr soon ;)
I'm out enjoying Sunshine when I get notifications. Worth opening Reddit for ;). I'll see you lot in Autumn
What?
It's filled to the brim with explosive spam man. The ammo supply station cooldown allows for it too, people play around them due to it. You get 7 explosives every time you click E on a supply station bin / calldown bin. That's 7+ easy kills for some people.
On the new Fortress Hamada for example you can be top 5 every round on defense by sitting next to the ammo bin on the right with Piat and Dynamite, never shooting any gun. I have regularly got multi kills just throwing dynamite over the walls and by the time I'm done sending my 3 PIATs the ammo bin resupply cooldown is ready. The explosive spam never left the Battlefield, at least not the BF5 I have played.
edit - I replied to tiggr and I'm a bit peeved that he would delete his comment. I hope he didn't think I was attacking him and what he said wasn't objectively wrong, just biased as per usual with a game dev. I just think that if the DICE devs think that explosive spam is gone they aren't experiencing what I am experiencing.
Deleted? I sure didn't delete any comments? Anyhows - fortress is not comparable to regular cq/bf1 for obv reasons. It's almost designed to create this, not so much in general cq, which I was referring to (as the placement of stations and chokes should be a to account for spam minimization)
