@EA_LeeuwHi Leeuw, could you please explain why major game altering bugs in breakthrough (BF2042's most populated game mode after Conquest) are being ignored?
The situation is as follows:
Breakthrough defenders can not spawn any defensive vehicles in any sectors, resulting in a 1-sided slaughter of typically...
2 Tanks, 1 Attack Helecopter, 2 Transports, ~3-5 Jeeps/Hovers
vs
2 Jeeps/Hovers.
Moreover, the Breakthrough game mode has reverted (SUSPICIOUSLY UNINTENTIONALLY) to historical 128-player map layouts, which were changed after SIGNIFICANT community outcrys to a 64-player layout (and it IS currently a 64p mode).
Thus, the "infantry-close quaters" game mode with intense action (when it had the 64p layout) is now an ABSOLUTE 1-sided slaughter of grand open fields which defenders can only cross on foot.
In short,
Why is EA ignoring a bug that literally undoes EVERY POSITIVE CHANGE MADE TO THE GAME-MODE while simultaneously ENSURING A 1-SIDED VEHICLE STOMP ????
We know it isn't you personally, @EA_Leeuw , but seeing major issues persist completely unacknowledged for a week+ through a major gamemode is VERY POOR AWARENESS/MANAGEMENT, and we'd like to get attention through some means...
This is the official forums, the official bug report section, and the community can't get the most basic of responses???

It's outstanding, how long do you guys intend to ignore this bug and forum?
In fact, why do you guys ignore all the important forums?
Pretending EA has community managers and that they care about the community, but neglecting the easy to redeem, major issues?!
What does the bug report forum even exist for?? Certainly not going to waste my time reporting any other game breaking bugs to a group that actually REFUSES to acknowledge them.

Thanks, it's about time, and good to hear SOMETHING.
What about this bug? 100% occurrence, first spawns on server start.
The latest patch has caused so many bugs requiring an urgent hotfix that are going entirely unaddressed.
It is reported in another forum topic and I've added this video to their report.

Is there any update on this issue?
This is literally a game breaking problem for Breakthrough.
So many teams cannot defend, unless players join/rejoin in later sectors and get back in the defense team to be able to deploy the vehicles.

Evidently they are doing zero hotfixes. Even for major modes and 100% occurrence game-breaking bugs. "Live service" they said. "Jokes and lies", we read.
Supposedly it will be in the upcoming patch. It seems like they stuffed up MASSIVELY, and worked on the wrong programming branch for the patch, hence the state of everything reverting to worse states (including optimization, hit-reg, and the week of 128p breakthrough layouts). Tons of unintentional reverts.The wait has also dropped the population to pre-season 1 lows. Pretty sloppy.
Most alarming is consideration for what bugs they might unleash next.
- JarskyPlays3 years agoNew Ace@0_Katsui yup the bug recession along with being sick with Covid I just gave up playing completely. Between being sick and the huge amount of bugs with no further content to play, I just have no motivation to keep grinding again.
