@gF0rce14 im not saying im super stoke about the new patch as it doesnt address some of the issues im having. I have a monster PC so the CPU/GPU load is something I would like addressed along with server browser options and classes.
however, this is a large list of needed improvements.
however, this is a large list of needed improvements.
@locked_n_cocked Agreed that they are needed. But aren't needed now to keep people from leaving the game. Most people who are saying they are done with the game aren't leaving for any of the stuff that is being addressed in this update.
- @gF0rce14 All fixes are needed now. I don't understand this thought process. Anything that improves this product is a good fix. obviously some will take more time, and will be in later patches but that doesn't diminish all these updates and changes.
- @seamount4life Yes, all fixes are needed. We all want a perfectly working, enjoyable game. If the major fixes take more time, DICE should tell us. Don't leave it out entirely. Prioritize the things that are causing people to drop this game. If they are, then great, just keep us in the loop and let us know.
- @gF0rce14 100% agree on communicating hotter issues that are taking more time, especially if they are leading to player counts dropping. My point was that, there's a ton of great QoL stuff in this patch. Stuff that I wanted. Not mountain moving, I get it. But any fixes this early in the life cycle for an obviously buggy and unpolished game is nice to see. And so much more to be fixed and addressed. Let's hope every patch has the progress we all want.

No fixes for hitreg, hitboxes (especially Sundances), no specialist balances, no M5C bolt nerfing... Just the usual nonsense of "we did something, but we don't let you know what and here are some unnecessary things like weeklys".
Hopefully we get another update next week as well, fixes for important things like the 30 mm canon stutter for infantry, nerfing of the M5C, making hit-reg work, break-through flags on top of buildings etc.
And they should enable 64 player modes for PC+next gen consoles, this could probably improve the fun a lot and perhaps get some players back to the game. It should be easy, just port it from old-gen consoles.
- Fixed some issues that prevented visual hits from registering when firing on an enemy target. Note: further improvements are still being investigated
Posted this for everyone that says they didn't fix hit reg, etc. They are obviously working on it, with more work coming.

@seamount4lifeI appreciated this note. This what should be communicated with all the major issues/fixes.
@cso7777I'll be really disappointed if those changes aren't made but I won't be surprised either...
