On PC, something in this update completely messed up GSync and alt tabbing for me. GSync does no longer work and alt tabbing out and back into the game will crash the display driver. Anyone else on PC can confirm this?

How is the gameplay compared to Battlefield One? Better? Easier/harder? More/less varied?

I'm a casual MP player on PC, trying to figure out if I would like BF2.
The gameplay is totally different. In Battlefront you can't lie down on the ground but you can roll/dodge in all directions wich i think is very cool. Gamespeed is more or less the same, but in Battlefront there are neat troopers as the rocket trooper for example.. i feel Battlefront has more gimmicks going on. Speaking of gunplay for me personally Battlefield 1 has the best and most satisfying gunplay around, Battlefront is good in this regard but not as great as Battlefield 1.
Both are great games. But for me Battlefield 1 is the best multiplayer shooter this generation from a gameplay perspective.

Not high on the priority list obviously, but this game should have a model viewer.

It should also have a Lucasfim "discovery mode" tour narrated by Kathleen Kennedy or John Knoll or someone in the story group or art department. Why these games don't have tourism mode where you can just take it all in, take screenshots, etc. is beyond me. They put all this work into authentic set design, and in 4K no less.

"I have been talking with my friends at EA the last few days, great guys... very good people"
"after our talks I have decided to mandate protection for their business model so that they can continue to make American video game industry great again!"

"No more fake games media, Reddit viewers and raitings way down!"

Lol. Then EA will distance themselves in public perception of being friends with Trump, then he will call them on their shit.

Luke, Vader and Chewie are done. Just need to unlock Iden, Leia, and the Emperor, and I can finally throw some credits towards boxes to start raising my class ranks.

The Naboo map when you storm the castle is so fun, one annoying thing so far is a couple hours in I am barely leveling up and skilling up =[

Are you paying for this stuff?

Paying for which? I wouldn't pay for crystals even if I could, I'm just making the most of credit rewards from completing the easy challenges.

The final sniper rifle is amazing. I love sniping so much that I always just player sniper in battlefield and now I can do that in battlefront. The downside is DICE usually nerfs something sniper related and it ruins the game for me since that's all I use.

Your level doesn't really matter it only allows you to craft higher quality cards. Dont buy Trooper crates, buy the cheaper hero crates. Then use the crafting parts you get in each crate to craft cards you want for whatever preferred class you like. Each crate gives yoy enough crafting parts to unlock one base level card.

My god, I would pay 20.000 credits for a Martini Henry type rifle in Battlefront.
Really hope they can somehow add the Cycler Rifle from the old game, but now as a regular weapon instead of a starcard.

HDR is royally messed up in this game.

On my Xbox One X, menus go from dim (bad) to bright (good!), and its distracting as all hell.

Plus rampant connection error messages after I complete missions.. my goodness EA.


Looks beautiful in 4K, though.

Yeah I have this issue too in the menus and cutscenes. During gameplay its fine. Was hoping they would've fixed it in the patch, but evidently not : (

I can't decide if I want to play in first or third person. I keep switching and finding pros and cons with both.

There is no benefit in winning, kills don't affect credits, i might as well put a rubber band on the left stick and leave the game on all night in GA and collect the credits in the morning....

I've seen players just chilling at the spawn point, and I'm like :/

I think doing well in rounds affect your overall xp. If I suck, my progress is minuscule. But if I have a great round (by my shitty standards lol), the progress bar to the next level rises quicker (still fn slow though).

Anybody hear anything about adjusting the grind for levels, credits, crafting?

I'm sitting on some credits I'm unwilling to spend until I hear more.

Last thing I want to do is spend the 30k on Luke & Vader the day before EA lowers the price to 5k each or an alternate unlock method.

Keep having issues with the PC version, changing resolution and using fullscreen in DX11 mode will crash my driver when alt tabbing out and back in (also crashes when changing resolution). GSync isn't working either, neither is Vsync.

The DX12 version seem to work fine and the UI is MUCH clearer with DX12 enabled. None of that static weirdness on the text. Other Frostbite games like BF1 works fine.

I play exclusively first person and it works a lot better for me.
I'm just used to headshotting in first person, so that translates perfectly.

Is it fine during game play though? Sometimes some of the blurred overlays look awful. I can't imagine they were intended to look that way. Especially the crate type selection on the crate opening screen (I know this isn't technically 'in-game') but it looks like some weird inverted oil effect. Not very Pretty.

In game, I feel like the HDR takes on whatever its last state was. So if during the loading menu it ended as dim, all your in-game HUD will be dimmed too. If you're lucky and the loading screen ended as bright, your hud will be nice and beautiful and so will the game.

It amazes me that this passed CERT in its current state.

Hoth is Walker Assault, though not the same map.

I miss the old modes and maps from the last game, WA and Drop Zone.

I hope some of these modes and maps find their way back in through free DLC.
The 2 main repeat maps(Hoth, Endor) in this I absolutely hate compared to the original.

Only think I prefer about the new Hoth is that it has flyable Y-Wings.

I still don't see the issue with this game - I'm getting enough to unlock something every few games so far.
Are you still relatively early on in playing the game? The rate of income seems a lot better at first when you're knocking off lots of early easy challenges, but once those dry up it starts feeling slower and slower.

I really dig how they did Endor for GA. Just the set up in general. How the rebels steal an AT AT then attack a base at the end. Very cool. Also if you're playing as the Empire, a woman on the comm goes "I can't believe we're attacking a walker" Lol great stuff.

Finally unlocked all the heroes, now I'm free to use my credits on crates. Can't imagine what it would have been had they not reduced the prices. But...I'm already getting duplicates, and a fair amount of them. What the hell.

I am somewhat early on in multiplayer -- probably 10 hours-ish give or take. But I guess I never would've expected this pace to keep up long term. In most games rewards start taking longer to get the longer you play.

Hmmm.. As far as I can tell (for me at least) during actual gameplay the HDR seems fine, in fact a couple of levels in particular have the best use of HDR I've yet seen in a game, but I definitely get the flickering sometimes during menu's and cutscenes, and yeah, I've had the weird 'oil' effect on the crates. Hopefully they fix it soon!

Being too good is bad also.
I got like 140 credits in a match my team won because we obliterated the other team before they managed to complete the first objective.
It's ridiculous that you don't get anything extra for winning. Soon players will get used the rythm and will start extending matches making sure neither team wins too fast just to get the most credits out of each match.
I haven't spend a dime on heroes yet, all goes to trooper crates. But i'm a bad example of a player, since i really don't care at all about Star Wars (or Star Trek, or whatever other sci-fi IPs exist...), i'm only playing for the shooting, so i prefer to be a soldier even when i have enough points for a hero.
