Weekly weapons Scrap Exchange updates
I have calculated the theoretical amout of scraps you would need if every item would appear in the weekly exchange and you could buy it that way. Amount of scraps needed by category and total: 10.000 x 17 = 170.000 2.000 x 195 = 390.000 800 x 262 = 209.600 300 x 372 = 111.600 TOTAL x 846 = 881.200 Puzzles are NOT taken into account here! Meaning the number would be higher still. But since you tend to get all pieces over time with the OP Battlepacks I excluded them from here. At least without the special rare melee weapons which are otherwise unobtainable like the Ararebo, Coupe Coupe, Arditi Dagger(still unobtainable, has never been seen in the exchange) and Barbed Wire Bat If we assume the average loot per day looks like this we roughly get 1k scraps every day 30+90+270 & 90+270+270 = 1020/day Now that we have the total amount of scraps needed and a rough estimate on the average loot based on personal experience from over 1 year of daily grinding we can calculate how many days of grinding we need to earn the necessary scraps to be able to buy every skin in the game which looks like this: 881.200/1020 = 863.922 days This accumulates to this timeframe of DAILY grinding needed to earn every skin in the game: 2 years 4 months ~2 weeks (11 days) Again, this is assuming all skins where available in the exchange which is far from the case making the situation even worse. This timeframe is unacceptable for a AAA game you paid over 100€ for at release, me included. Some free2play games involve less grinding than this just to earn some textures. I understand that there was monetary incentive behind making the game intentionally grindy (though I still find this practice to be in a AAA game unacceptable by principle) to boost Battlepack sales. But this game is almost 8 years old now and I really doubt you're making anywhere close to the amount of money compared to the release period. Meaning there is no more incentive to make this game intentionally grindy anymore. My suggestion would be to either remove the daily limit of Operation Battlepacks, increase the limit from 2 to something like 4 or 5 per day or have them drop 2 or 3 crates instead of 1 at a time. Unlike currently this is much more respectful of the players time. Money is one thing but to disrespect the players time to this extent when we know that everyones time is limited both in daily terms and total just so you get some textures is ridiculous. Due to the age of the game please reconsider the current way of earning scraps to make it more tolerable. I've come too far to give up now but most people don't have this patience. Me included (for future or other games) since this will be the last game I'll grind this much for. If the next Battlefield turns out to be this grindy I'll really think twice before buying something which doesn't respect anyones time. Thanks in advance, hope to see some changes to this system!20KViews6likes3509CommentsBattlefield 1 is not launching, tried everything
Battlefield 1 not launching at all. I press play (doesn't matter if it's on steam or EA app), it says "preparing game", closes the EA app, then opens the EA app again while stopping the launch of BF1. That all happened after I updated the EA app and downloaded the redist files for BF1 again. Before I did that this happens: I open BF1 through either steam or EA app, it takes a long time so I always checked task manager. For 5 minutes, it stays as a background program, gradually using up to specifically 1.1-1.4 of memory and then suddenly dropping it back down to 400-700mb of memory, until the EA app opens and then forces Battlefield 1 to literally stop from even launching. Everything I've tried: Reinstalling Battlefield 1 (~10 times) Reinstalling EA App (3 times) Repairing EA App (5 times) Clearing EA App Cache (8 times) Verifying Game File Integrity on Steam (10 times) Updating my graphics drivers (~20 times) Changing compatibility modes of both Battlefield 1 and EA App (Windows 8 and Run as Admin in every combination) Changing Battlefield 1 config file Checked Windows Defender (Surprise, there's nothing there related to EA or Battlefield) Changing EA App installation path Possibly more because I've done this for the past 2 days and I can't be bothered to remember everything Battlefield 4 and 2042 is just fine This isn't an issue of my pc specs, it literally runs 2042 just fine which is not as optimised. I already made an EA report thingy, id: 93f15890-1ccd-4155-a7d8-bd95136066a5 Video down below, starting up Battlefield 2042 at the end by comparison. Battlefield 1 not launching demonstration Help is appreciated and thanks in advance VideoSolved8.4KViews2likes9CommentsDirectX Error (DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_REMOVED)
I had been playing Battlefield 1 for a couple months now and never had any issues. This afternoon I launched the game and it opened a window and presumed to load the game, the window then automatically became full screen and the game froze. I used control+alt+delete to close the game and eventually received an error message which can be seen below. I went online and saw this was a common problem but was unable to find a clear solution to my problem. I tried reinstalling DirectX, updating my NVidia driver, and also installing the previous Nvidia driver from when the game was playable and I still am unable to play the game. I have an ASUS laptop i7 processor, windows 10 64xbit, 8GB of ram I have an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960M video card with 4GB of VRAM (Current driver is 378.49, was playing game successfully on driver version 376.33) I can play the game on high settings with a good framerate I attached the screenshot of the error message but in case it doesn't work I will type it out below DirectX Error DirectX function "FindClosestMatchingMode" failed with DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_REMOVED ("The video card has been physically removed from the system, or a drive upgrade for the video card has occured.") GPU: "", Driver."37849". This error is usually caused by the graphics driver crashing; try installing the latest drivers. Also, make sure you have a supported graphics card with at least 1024 MB of VRAM.Solved126KViews0likes18CommentsBF1 and other games Not Launching Require Log-in and Activation
Recently I reinstalled my games on my computer as I planned on playing a few games during the summer break. When I tried to launch my games form the EA app they greet me with a prompt to log in. It never logs in saying my email and password are invalid. When it does It says "we could not activate "the game" on this computer using the EA acount you provided. Is there anyway this can be solved. None of the online solutions helped.Log to your ea account for activate battlefield 1 on this computer
Months ago, this message started to show up each time you wanted to launch the game on EA App. Was wondering if there is a solution to avoid this message popping or an explanation at least. Message is in french, sorry about that. Thanks for your time !369Views2likes3CommentsSERVER IS FULL (WARNING MESSAGE SCREEN BUG)
Hello everyone, Sorry in advance if i'm not clear. English is not my primary language. I wanted to know if it's an already known bug and how to fix it potentially. I play on PC, via Steam>EA App Here is my problem : For the context, I often choose a server to connect that is full, you usually have a short queue of about 10 players. You just have to wait and you'll eventually, connect. But sometimes, when i try to join this queue (maybe itself at its maximum capacity), I have a message telling me "The server is full" and I just can click OK. But when i actually click it, i hear the click sound in-game each time, it doesn't seem "crashed", it just doesn't quit the warning message screen. As i can't do anything anymore, even though I tried "BACK", "ESC", nothing worked, I only can alt+f4 and restart... I mean, i should be able to go back to the servers brower... Screenshot of the moment i can't escape the warning message in the attachement. Thanks480Views2likes2CommentsConnection to EA Online timed out... (REPOST)
MODERATORS PLEASE DON'T MOVE THIS POST AGAIN PLEASE. I KNOW I ALREADY POSTED THE SAME PROBLEM OVER ON BUG REPORTS BUT I NEED IT HERE ALSO FOR PEOPLE TO DISCUSS. THANKS! Every single time the game tries to connect to a BF1 server it fails loading the map and returns to menu with this message. Server Disconnected. Connection to EA Online timed out. Your network bandwidth and/or network latency may not meet the requirements for this game. Just bought the game the other day and haven't been able to get into a single match of multiplayer yet! The Beta worked flawless without a single problem. My internet setup has not changed since then. These are my internet test results... 20Mbps Download 5Mbps Upload EA/Dice Please fix this game! I didn't spend $60 for campaign only! ☹️31KViews15likes43Comments
