Battlefield 1 companion bugs

Battlefield 1 companion have bugs for several days.    
For example, when I equipped some weapon or vehicle package it get back to default, or says failed to equip item and I have to do it in the game.
One more question, how to change vehicle package in the game... I found that in comapanion but not in the game ?
Thank you.

  • Hey @Maj_Scooper

    To answer your question first :

    Go in-game, select the vehicle of your choice when a ticket for them is available, click Customise like you would with a soldier and you get a customising window for the vehicle and your pilot/tanker/cavalry class. For some odd reason you cannot do this from the Soldier -> Customise soldier menu on the main menu's of the game, but from there you can at least change your soldier loadouts.

    Companion is known to be a bit quirky at times. For example, when I go and check it out myself, it doesn't show any of my loadouts and all the weapon bases are "defaults" the game puts on you at the beginning. As handy as the program is, unfortunately it still has some quirks to it so I would suggest you rather change your loadouts in-game.

    I hope that helps.

  • Thanks for answer.


    If I want to customize vehicle in game before I get into vehicle I will never get it because someone else will take the vehicle.
    I can go to soldier but I guess i was not thorough so I will check it latter.

    There is pros and * with the game management and companion, for example:


    In companion I can see for assignment award how much kills I need to get the weapon but in the game I cannot see... I can only see how many kills I need but not how many kills I have.

    In companion I can not see weapon specs but I can in game.

    You're welcome @Maj_Scooper

    You can actually see the assignment progress in-game as well when you go to the Customise and select the weapon which you would like to unlock :

    That should help at least somewhat.

    Also, if you are concerned about the vehicle customizing, you can join an empty server and do the customizations there. Remember also that when you do click a vehicle, it will get reserved for you so you should have all the time in the world to customize them to your needs.

    But yeah, I do agree that the UI needs some work.

  • Well, you`re right... I can customize vehicle in an empty server. But in that weapon specs image you provide I can`t see the numbers in those two circles, very interesting !

  • Hey I just notice, we have differente assignments for the label model 1886... I have 20 or 30 scout head shoots and 20 binocular spot assists 🙂

    There's two different rifles @Maj_Scooper , Sniper and Infantry model. They both have their own requirements.

    Also, just making sure, do you have the They Shall Not Pass DLC, or Premium pass ? Cause without those you can't unlock the weapons which would of course explain why you'd not see the numbers.

  • I unlocked a couple of weapons but still can not see the numbers in circles.

    Okay, good. Just wanted to make sure that you have the DLC in the first place so I ain't misleading you or anything.

    But yeah, then that does sound like a display bug of some sort. Weird. Could always try and Repair your installation (Right-click your game on My Game Library, choose Repair) though I have a feeling that is probably some kind of a server side bug.
