So basically the people who complain the least and just point out some errors then they'll get the battlepacks? Why not just give everyone some form of compensation? On PC I have had numerous crashing issues, mostly with getting an M320 shot near me or at me that crashes the game, thus losing my XP, unlocks, etc that I've earned in that match.

I did find a way to still earn those rewards is when the game crashes, to let the window remain open until the match ends, you'll be notified in battlelog once the report is available when the round ends. It will loop the sound indefinitely until the game has been completely shut down by ending the program in task manager, so either turn the sound off completely, or go do something else for the next 15 minutes or so until the round ends lol.

Been having similar issues
Thanks for the tip

famoussasjohn3821d ago

It's annoying just to keep your XP from disappearing, but I've grown tired of ranking up to the same rank multiple times lol.

pompombrum3821d ago

I think everyone on PC deserves a free battlepack or two or three or four after this abysmal launch.

LAWSON723821d ago

I agree it would not hurt. I am not trying to sound like one of those whiny entitled gamers. I understand it just launched and issues are bound to happen because it is quite big in scope and a new/updated engine but that does not make it okay that I spent $60 and get frustrated the game crashes alot.

FullmetalRoyale3821d ago

You are definitely not coming across as entitled.

I completely agree with you and I don't even own the game yet. I have the digital PS4 version pre-ordered. You shouldn't be given an unfinished product. If they can't give you what you paid for, when you paid them for it, they can at least give you some damn battlepacks.

Imho of course.

TekoIie3821d ago (Edited 3821d ago )

I don't think anyone could say we're acting entitled when we are unable to play a portion of the multiplayer because of game breaking bugs.

Also baring in mind that when the game crashes it's not guaranteed that you'll keep your progress in that game so some compensation is in order for just about every player.

SlyFamous023821d ago

What bothers me is why we are paying R700=(70 pounds) for half a game.

AllroundGamer3821d ago

lol the best posters comments probably looked like this - "fix the damn netcode!"

Skate-AK3821d ago

I never seen any problem until I played last night. Was getting sniped and blown up around corners.

Battlefield 1, Hardline, BF4 Servers Are Being Taken Offline by Cheaters; EA Silent on Issue

Cheaters & hackers have been causing grief on Battlefield 1, Hardline & BF4 servers, with nonstop DDoS attacks among other things. Unfortunately, EA has remained silent about it.

-Foxtrot759d ago

Course they are silent, they are hoping people flock to 2042

gamesftw250758d ago

Maybe it was a inside job then haha.

jeromeface757d ago

wouldnt be the first time, titanfall 1+2 anyone?

PapaBop758d ago

Not even if they paid me.. EA always do this with old games with less money potential, if this was Ultimate Team, they'd address and sort it faster than stories could spread. Why invest time in their products when they will just dump it in the following years? Then again EA never could see the forest for the trees.

Inverno758d ago

I imagine after those games were given out for free a couple months back through Amazon, anything that makes people go to 2042 is a plus for them

XiNatsuDragnel759d ago

They want people to go on 2042. My theory

excaliburps758d ago

Nah. I think they can't do anything about it or they want to sink money into fixing it.

Pudge102888758d ago (Edited 758d ago )

EA owns all BF servers so yes, they can do something about it but they refuse to because they dont want ppl playing their old games instead of the new one. Its EA we’re talking about here

pr33k33758d ago

if this happened in 2042, they'd have something to say. which is weird, considering battlefield 1 has more players on steam right now.

Pudge102888758d ago

Its so obvious that EA is doing this or hired ppl to mess up the games so that we’d be forced to have just 1 Battlefield working.

FPS_D3TH758d ago

Honestly it’s probably the devs themselves. They did an update to bf4 way back that kinda made assault rifles doo doo in hopes that people would flock to BF1 cuz BF4 was too perfect

There's a bunch of great shooters on gamepass; both legacy and new.

A recommendation I have is a work in progress preview title called Anacrusis. It's a lot of fun, and has a cool aesthetic.
