This game is so strange, and I know that it's optimized like crap, but I was just looking at the usage graphs in Afterburner and I'm only using 40% CPU on average and about 70% GPU. Everything on low, except Ambient Occlusion on HBAO the last couple of games, and with a custom .config. Averaging around 85FPS in Breakthrough and around 110 in Portal. 3700x and a 2070 Super. Curious to see what other tweaking they and I can do.


I'm the opposite. I'm usually 80-95% cpu usage and like 50-60% GPU. Run terrain stuff on medium or high, everything else low and occlusion and off. Get 90-110 generally, sometimes low 80's if shite gets hectic.

This game puts a ton on my CPU. I've tried cranking stuff up to shift to the GPU, but doesn't make much change.

They announced a patch for November 25th and then one for early December. Sounds like they will address a great number of things

I don’t know how anybody can think this game is anything but awful

Most generic looking maps I have ever seen

Friend sent me a text that this was rated the 9th worst game of all time

Don’t have the link anymore. Hell I can’t even change guns and stuff smoothly on this game

the maps are truly awful. I think the gameplay is actually ok with a few tweaks to the bloom/hit registry. A patch for the UI, weapon progression bar, a search function for maps, old scoreboard and it will be in much better shape. but the maps..... they just need a whole new pack of maps. If they did all that it was be solid AF.

These upcoming patches are supposed to address the bloom and spread according to the statement they released…….whether it’ll actually be enough or not idk

Battlefield 2042 Has "Millions" Of Players, Is Performing Better Than Battlefield 5


quote:

DICE's new military FPS got off to a strong start, despite some issues.
Battlefield 2042 has reached "millions" of players already, and the game is pacing ahead of Battlefield V at a similar point in its lifetime

The studio added that Battlefield 2042 has reached "almost twice" as many players at this point compared to 2018's Battlefield V.

Yes. Unless you want to check out portal. It doesn't have any real issues and runs well as a remaster.

My issue with portal has been it doesn’t seem like there’s enough ppl playing it to really populate the games. BF3’s was ok and BF2’s I literally couldn’t play bc there was 2 ppl in the server

There's a ton on it, probably close to as many as the main game. Probably just server related, but I've never been in even a half empty lobby just using the quick play for any of them.

I expected so much from BF 2042, but nothing about it makes me want to get on and play it.

Same. I think about turning it on every other night. I never do though.

I just saw the big patch a few days ago. Was giving it a little time.

Fixed over 150 bugs.

Nice, so Halo and CoD cosmetics. Good for those that like that stuff. I did buy a $20 Halo samurai skin so I can't complain.

Finch you gonna lie and tell me you don't buy the 5 billion cosmetics that dominate CoD multiplayer?

Well Rush mode is back at least. I may jump in as that was all I really played in the past and have missed it.
