Battlefield 2042 Beta Unknown Error and QR Code Issues Surfacing

Players are seeing the Battlefield 2042 beta Unknown Error issue crop up, as well as a message with a QR code. DICE is aware and explained what these mean.

The only good thing is the L1 attachment addition, this game feels clunky and looks bloaty, I'll play again later when the hamsters are chilled.

I can't compare Infinite beta to this because obviously, we're looking at 2 different ballparks & the convenient "months old build" isn't doing it for me.

If this was labeled Alpha and had 8 months until it was cooked I wouldn't be distraught with what I've played today, so to summerise my overall experience so far it's been pretty meh :c

I'm hearing and seeing the opposite from all the videos. From the vids it looks amazing. Finally frostbite put to good use.

Have to try it out myself in 2 days.

BioShockGX1297d ago

The game is missing some anime skins

LordoftheCritics1297d ago (Edited 1297d ago )

That would be the day I uninstall it. I really don't need every culture in every content.

Battlefield has a style of its own that I really like.

Though I hope you were being sarcastic.

excaliburps1297d ago

I think he was. You mean, you don't want pink glowing character skins for your death-dealing character? LOL!

Teflon021297d ago

While it's a joke for sure. I do hope the custom emblems come back. I did put Ryoko from the anime Kill last Kill on my gun on bf4 lmao. But I did it as a joke so if anyone picks up my weapon after killing me, they'd get some anime love lmao. Atleast that's how I assumed it worked. It would be a shame to find out, it changed the guns emblem to the one they have once picked up lol

Wow, another site writing entire articles based off a single reddit comment.

Just redownloaded the game. I wonder if it is still active

Steve_Gamer201d ago

Yeah it will be, the game just recently got a Update 1.59 Patch in September.

Interesting and understandable lol

Exactly why conquest is the one true god

Vince Zampella: Battlefield "Absolutely Can" Outsell Call of Duty; BF2042 Was Not a "Failure"

Battlefield franchise boss thinks Battlefield "absolutely can" outsell Call of Duty, but says they're not targeting that with the next entry.

TheNamelessOne220d ago

Feel like if that were true, we would have seen it during the BF3/4 era. Just focus first on releasing a Battlefield that's actually feature complete, well put together, that people actually want to play right out of the gate. Hoping Zampella can make this happen.

JEECE220d ago

The best opportunity was BF1 vs. Infinite Warfare. I've never actually seen a worldwide sales comparison so I'm not convinced BF1 didn't eventually win, but I do know COD sold better in the US at launch, because it was the NPD #1 that year, while BF was #2.

SonyStyled220d ago

The best opportunity was with BC2 and BF3. BF4 dropped the ball with a short campaign and bugged multiplayer at launch

Cacabunga220d ago

Release a decent game and let the mouth to eat do the rest.. you choose to release another BF4 then blame yourselves for it

JEECE219d ago

@SonyStyled

Definitely not BC2. I love the Bad Company games (even though everyone always pretends the first one didn't exist), but even though BC2 has achieved great respect in hindsight, at the time it came out a lot of casuals who bought COD every year either didn't know of Battlefield's existence or saw it as a knockoff of COD. Plus coming out in spring 2010 it was competing against MW2 (the original one) which came out the prior fall.

ChronoJoe220d ago

I mean, the title of the game doesn't have a lot to do with how it sells. The next game is not going to change things but Zampella course change the course of the series towards something that's more on track with that those big player numbers.

With that said, battlefield fans might not want that. To acquire the wider audience they would probably need to betray a lot of the series design principles. Call of Duty is as popular as it is because it is as simple as it is.

"BF2042 Was Not a "Failure"

Suuuuuuure thing little buddy...

excaliburps220d ago

In his defense, BF2042 did turn things around eventually though still falls short of franchise expectations if you based it on BF4, BF3, BF1.

trez1082220d ago

Hated it at lunch, came back a two years after and it was an absolute blast. Not sure how it did sales wise to be called failure or success but BF2042 is a pretty good game .

ElaBosak219d ago

In what way was it a failure exactly?

Outside_ofthe_Box220d ago

Microsoft would just buy EA if that happens.

8bitAssassin219d ago (Edited 219d ago )

We don't need more games ruined. It's like that company puts water on their bread before they eat it.

Inverno220d ago

Here we go again with rubbing mouths. BF has been a flop consistently since BF4, and I mean flop as in disappointing to the fan base due to the technical issues each has had and the gameplay changes needlessly made. Shut up and make a good BF before hyping up another potential disappointment.

Fishy Fingers220d ago (Edited 220d ago )

Bro gave one pretty decent interview and answered the questions he was asked. Not really his fault if people want to cherry pick quotes for "content".

Stick to reading source https://www.ign.com/article...

X-23220d ago

I don't mind them claiming BF2042 wasn't a failure so long as they learned from it and use that experience moving forward into the new game, it was terrible at launch but towards the end it got a bit better. I don't want to see the same thing play out with the new BF though because the ones who are still interested in the franchise have been pretty vocal with what they want and don't want from Battlefield.

ElaBosak219d ago

Learn what exactly? The game was great.
