Re: New patch incoming later this month
Lets see what they broke this time
Re: New patch incoming later this month
I've given up believing any of their patch notes, as zebra said earlier in a different thread they don't even tell us many of the changes they actually make.

Re: New patch incoming later this month
how big is this update? i didn't notice my origin downloading anything, and it says the game is up to date. i've been able to join R18 servers too.

Re: New patch incoming later this month
The listed changes/fixes all seem good, there's just so much more that needs to be adressed.

Re: New patch incoming later this month
I wonder... did they actually fix something? Or did they just apply some cheap hack to cover up the issue like some of their previous netcode "fixes?"Fixed a player feedback timing issue where blood was appearing before other damage indicators, and before damage was actually done

Re: New patch incoming later this month
The wording is very weird, because why would blood appear when damage isn't even applied. It suggests it doesn't automatically inflict damage to a person when it detects you hit something.Bock wrote:I wonder... did they actually fix something?

Re: New patch incoming later this month
the information is too obscure to understand what it means.
was the damage applied too late? or the blood too early? pffff.

Re: New patch incoming later this month
it's a band-aid hackup job to cover up the netcode more. The getting killed while the other player is behind a wall not even around the corner stuff is still quite prevalent, and that was only in like 10 minutes of playing before I stopped. I'd get 10-12 "blood sprays" from hitting a guy with a PKP (that's 3-4x more bullets than necessary for a kill), only to watch the guy turn around and headshot me.Bock wrote:I wonder... did they actually fix something?

as to some of the other patch notes:
-Various fixes for improving general stability
-Fixed a memory leak issue occurring after level shutdowns, which could result in a out-of-memory crash in longer play sessions
both of these are crap. My game in 10 minutes of play was less stable than pre-patch, and there are plenty of reports of out-of-memory crashes still occurring, which means they either introduced more memory leaks, have more than 1, or did a piss-poor patch up job.
basically this patch (as far as netcode and performance) is another pale of water being thrown out of a sinking boat; they tried to help but aren't actually fixing the holes. The balancing changes listed are a step in the right direction though.

Re: New patch incoming later this month
Played a round on Guilin Peaks. Now instead of trading with people, you die and they get 0 health on your kill feed.
I still had fun though, Guilin is an awesome map.
Oh, and now I have a bug where the game randomly alt-tabs itself constantly for about a minute on joining a server. YES

Re: New patch incoming later this month
i played 2 rounds yesterday, and im not sure, but it seems damage is applied a bit faster (with the blood on the screen). so its a bit more responsive. the amount of damage inflicted didn't change so you still insta-die. but at medium to long range you have a second more to response. or so it seemed from 2 rounds.
but it ended with something that haven't happened to me in a while - BF4.exe has stopped working.
fixed stability issues - now its unstable again

The jets will be fixed when they remove that horrible locked to the center third-person perspective.Róka wrote:OH BOY!

Re: New patch incoming later this month
Watched one of LevelCap's videos, even though he's become super boring recently, and he had the same alt-tab glitch but thought he alt-tabbed accidentally.
the end is really fµcking nigh
