Update needs to go back.
I don't know what EA thought they were doing with this update, but it's clearly a vibe coded mess.
Crashing every 10-15 minutes now.
When spawning, game hangs for a half second, then loads a black screen, geometry, then a half second, then loads my model and UI.
Hitreg has DIED. Dead dead died. I fill consoles with lead and they just scream for mommy and mommy EA just lets them win because they're precious little babies who can't be treated equally because they're just so special.
Hackers, Hackers, hackers. Add some more hackers after that. They're in every game, they're completely obvious, and the next time EA says they're doing something about it and say "only 5% of games are affected" I'm going to empty my retirement and invest in Lies-r-us.
VPN and lag abusers are allowed to run completely rampant. Nothing is done about these people. Lower the ping limit to AT LEAST 120, should be more, and start banning accounts for using VPN. I know it isn't hard to detect VPN use for a modern company.
Subsonics seem to have missed a decimal point in their speed. It takes a FULL SECOND for my bullet to reach 10m away. Something is broken.
Consoles are still treated like the favored children of God. Crossplay needs to go, it killed this game and the only way to salvage any part of the remains is to admit to how much of a problem crossplay has been and remove it. It shouldn't be here now, it shouldn't have been here ever, and it should never be here in the future. Games are becoming too resource hungry for a children's toy to run them properly, and in a PVP game where milliseconds matter it shows.
Vehicle movement was changed, and far for the worse. Every slight bump in the road causes my vehicle to fly into the air, or spin out of control, or just stop dead in its tracks. Why? This wasn't an issue in the real BF games, why is it now?
The server lag is getting worse. Hello again consoles, I see you causing this problem. I try to switch weapons, nope switch back. Try again, goes back. Try again, it doesn't even start the animation because it already knows that the server isn't going to let me do that. Got me killed SO many times tonight. Why?
Step 1, start auto-kicking, and auto-banning, players with a high ping. You can be nice and offer them a refund IF THEY'RE PLAYING IN THEIR REGION and get banned for high ping.
Step 2, don't offer the game in places you don't have servers. All you're doing is telling them to join other regions and lag everything up. The experience is bad for everyone. Offer refunds for people who are in regions where their servers were removed.
Step 3, stop selling in the CN region. It's where 99% of the hacks come from. CN DOES NOT CARE about western companies, they will never enforce and fine or penalty that EA tries to levy.
Step 4, crossplay off. Someone wants it on? Ok, they can change their settings and have it on. It should start as normally off, and separate the servers as well so consoles aren't lagging up PC servers.
Step 5, admit you use AI. Your CEO just got a big old bonus for implementing a slop strategy. Just admit you use it instead of lying. We can tell.
Step 6, ban VPN users. I can think of legit reasons to use a VPN, but using it to evade region locks and get ping advantage in other regions is unacceptable.
Step 7, stop making bad decisions. This isn't towards the devs, or CM, or any normal person who works at EA. To the top EA people who are rolling around in their bonus money for firing a ton of people, stop it. Who in the world has a good thing to say about EA right now? Even the simps are like "Yea, like, uhh, $20 Apex cosmetics are really cool dude!" EA is clearly being run right now by people who care more about their stock options than making a good game.
