I haven't noticed any huge changes or improvements but they have various things in the release notes. I was testing things and it crashed mid-game though hehe

Has anyone come across a v1.07 bug where you just get a black screen when you join a game? I'm on PS4.

Like this:

(Skip to 0:58 if you don't want the intro / loading bit, just added it in to show what I was trying to do, then skip to 3:00 to hear me shooting but being unable to see).

Had it on xbox - could hear and shoot but screen was black. this was before the patch- I just rebooted like I do all the time anyway.


just to add - new deathcam is going to make 20 prone sniper kills bloody hard!! plus that little nerf to gewhr 43 for those assignments.

Sorry I missed your invites yesterday Ruskie, I've become obsessed with the gnomes on Arras and found myself crawling around in bushes listening to them laughing at me.

There's definitely more to them than it just following you around with red eyes, I'm sure after I shot one yesterday a rock near the A flag had a growing purple line in it. I can't seem to get that to happen again though.

No worries. If I send an invite I normally give it a couple of go’s then if you are busy I go play.

That gnome thing is very weird!

I'm enjoying it but it's very dependent on having mates who play or getting assigned a good squad and hoping you stick together through a few games otherwise it can be miserable. Don't think it'll have much longevity. One strong squad communicating will steamroll even a 64 player game. It's no BF Vietnam, my favorite, but worth a shot if you can get it at a discount (mine was free with a 2070 card).

Decided to bite the bullet and get this. Was getting bored of FH4 and fancied getting back into a shooter. I’m a little rusty at battlefield! Played a few games tonight and had a great squad so managed to win, last game I ended up in a lobby of people who just wanted to shoot and planes and we got steam rolllered by the other team. Will stick with it though, currently the weapons I have feel weak and I’m not used to the maps at all.

I've been playing for 2 weeks, and i've been totally ste at it. I couldnt understand how bad I was. I changed the TV to game mode and it seems to have made a fairly significant difference to being shot first or last.

I also watched thebrokenmachines tips on sighting, sight colours etc and it seems to be working.

Hi all,

I'm looking to make a bit of a return to gaming - back in 2007-2010 ish I was totally hooked on BF2, but then life and everything kind of tok over and I didn;t have hours a day to dedicate to games.

I still don't now, but I'm getting tired of Netflix every evening so I'm looking to shift my spare time back into gaming if I can.

Back in the late 00's I was running these games on a pretty standard laptop, but it seems as though newer games demand a lot more from your PC. I have only got an ordinary, small laptop that I use for work. The spec is more than I need for the day to day tasks, but I'm not 100% sure Iit meets the standards to run BF5. Am I going t be able to run it okay, or is it just not worth it? I am, and don't plan to be, a super keen gamer - just want to be able to have some fun in Multiplayer and have the game running smoothly.

I'm running windows 10 and the PC spec is...

CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 2500u
Ram: 8GB
Graphics: AMD Radeon Vega 8 Graphics

Thanks for your help!

Looks like if you have everything on Low and accept pretty low FPS it'll just about play:

Booted up after a couple of weeks off. Seem to have a few improvements at least to the kill cam!

This can be such a frustrating game at times. There should be servers for people who want to play alone with squads made up of random people. I’m a reasonable player but I’m sick of getting raped by squads/clans. I get that the game is based around that premise but if you don’t get put with good team players and you try and play the objective it’s utterly futile.

Have mostly been playing Medic using the new ZK SMG. It's the only Medic weapon that's actually any good. Routinely finishing near top now that I can land a shot at more than 5 metres away.
