Re: Chat from blocked players is still appearing

I've given up on DICE/EA fixing this.

There is one player who routinely appears in my game and makes liberal use of the n-word.
He's been doing it for more than a year now.

Apparently, this behavior is acceptable to DICE/EA.

Very disappointing (especially since blocking players worked in BF1).

You might be able to report for harassment. 

I have to admit I start hiding the chat more and more or only open squad or team cheat. 

You can manage this with H. (on pc) 

And don't take things personal is my advice also for real life. Things happen and will always do. That doesn't mean we need to accept everything hence it's good this bug is reported. But we should not get people in our heads.. When you feel offended, report player and hide chat and focus back on the game. 

Sadly, the in-game tools are very clumsy to use and don't always work.

Lately, for whatever reason, when I ask BFV to show me a player profile via the scoreboard, Origin opens a blank window.
So, now I have to go to the friends list and search for the player's name (which can be difficult for some players with hard to read names such as "011100001111100011011".

It is good to know about help.ea.com. I will try that out if I have screenshots.

However, the original issues persists. If I block a player via Origin, that is supposed to block their chat from appearing in my game. This has worked for years and stopped working with BFV. My problems with toxicity would be all but eliminated if this feature worked (because I could simply block toxic players).

@dogness , yes for me it is also opening a blank screen now. 

But after alt tab or closing BFV the blank screen appears to load the profile. 

So only not working when actively being in game. 

Thanks for confirming it is not just me. 

Guess who is still in-game make liberal use of the n-word despite me using the tools that were given to me?

Yup. Still there.

EA and DICE should be ashamed of themselves for allowing this to go on for so long.

Interesting update.

The player I have mentioned before was back in-game making his comments.

What's odd is that my wife could not see the comments. We were on the same team, we could both see all chat from both teams. We both have the player blocked. But, I could see the chat, while she could not. So, whatever this awesome bug is, it affects my account but not my wife's.

Just read this nonsense.

It's dishonest and shameful as this thread shows.

hmm tbh until a report takes effect it takes ages.. 

any news about the fixing of this bug? or is it already fixed and I didnt realize?!

Closing down this topic.
