I could not agree more aversiontheapy.
I know that it's not the users that have the bad settings. And mine has also worked fine until the latest update.
I also have a quite good computer to play on, so that is not the problem.
But as I said, it should not be up to the consumers to find solutions to these problems. This is something that those who make the products have to adress, but sadly they seem almost blind to feedback.
I have the utmost respect for thos who actually find these solutions, and trust me I have googled many times to find a fix to various problems.
But it's such a shame that it has to be this way. It just proves that the communities actually care more than the ones that make the games.
It's just too bad that the ones that make the games can't be the ones to supply the fixes that are needed in stead of releasing other stuff like fixes to how the vehicles operate or the damage the weapons do. That's not what should be the nr 1 priority.
This is going to kill the BF series as the players are going to look for other series or games to play.
I have also played BF since 1942 and enjoyed it. And when BF4 worked I also enjoyed that. But now they have broken the trust and confidence I had to them as devs and publishers. It has just become more important to push out half finished games to make money in a "war" against other series as f.ex CoD. And no one benefits from that, except the ones that make the money all the consumers spend.
As you also said, I hardly see myself spending money on another release in the series.
At least not a pre-order. I would in that case wait until they would adress any start up problems and other issues.
So as long as the connection error is there, I am not even going to try to start the game.
