Last EA app update ( unintentionally ) broke compatibility with RTSS
A day or two ago I had an EA App update. After that update, Battlefield 1 was no longer able to start while RTSS with an OSD was running or it would crash if you started up RTSS with OSD enabled. After doing some research I enountered this reddit thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/battlefield_one/comments/1mxbs0r/battlefield_1_is_literally_unplayable_right_now/ Multiple users reported that by disabling the RTSS OSD or by simply removing the software completely, the problems stopped. I notified the developper of MSI Afterburner and Rivatuner Statistics Server and this is what he had to say: The reason of crashing is that both BF1 and BF5 started blocking loading of legacy D3D11 shader compiler runtime (d3dx11_42.dll) when game renderer is configured to use D3D11 mode. RTSS relies on this runtime to compile its' own overlay shaders, attempt to block the compiler while it is in use expectingly crashes the application. It doesn't look like intentional change, I have no logical reasons to explain WHY some developer inside EA could decide to do so. It cannot be anticheat related, it is standard OS component signed by MS and furthermore the runtime is magically starting to load if you switch game renderer to D3D12 mode. For me it looks more like spaghetti code in hooks inside EA's own overlay library (IGO64.dll). And it is up to EA to fix that. As solution, I can recompile RTSS to use alternate runtime shader complier (d3dcompiler_47.dll) - but doing so RTSS will lose backward compatibility with all OSes before Win8, where this runtime was introduced. And I definitively don't want to kill application functionality for older platforms I still support just because of bad EA programming in legacy BF games.

BF4 Cant change emblem or dog tags
Hi, I have BF4 on PS4 and PC, I made a custom emblem and it appeared Ok on my PS4 soldier, but not on my PC (I apply it there too), my PC soldier still used the old emblem. I also realize the soldier Dogtags are blank on both of them. Because there where some new "companion" app, I decided to give it a try and recreate the emblem there (I didnt have anything on the new companion app of BF1), but that managed to now "delete" the old emblems of my PC and PS4 soldier in BF4. On battlelog they have the dogtags and the correct emblem, but ingame they have the default flag and blank dogtags. I have tried different OS, different browsers, delete everything on BF1 (I played like 1 match and thats is, there wasnt anything there) but no luck. Any fix or anything I can do to have my emblems and dog tags?
🇲🇽📡 Request: Mexico Hosted Battlefield Servers for LATAM
To EA/DICE and fellow Battlefield players in Latin America, We are calling on EA/DICE to add official Battlefield servers in Mexico to serve players across Mexico and the LATAM North region (including Central America and U.S. border states). Right now, players in this region are forced to connect to distant servers such as San Jose, Dallas, Miami, or Brazil. The extra distance and routing reduce match responsiveness and consistency an issue other major titles have already solved by adding servers in Mexico. Why this matters: Higher latency impacts hit registration, reaction speed, and overall match quality. Many players leave matches or disengage from the game entirely due to avoidable connection issues. Players in Mexico should enjoy the same low‑latency experience that their neighbors across the border already have. Why Mexico is the right location: A server cluster in Mexico City would improve network performance for LATAM North players. It would relieve pressure on San Jose, Dallas, and Brazil servers, benefiting all regions. Other competitive titles (Valorant, LoL, CS2, PUBG Mobile) have added Mexico‑based servers and grown their player counts as a result. How you can help: Reply with your city/state and platform. Share screenshots of your in‑game network graph or Origin/Steam overlay. Post this thread on social media with #BattlefieldMex and tag EA/DICE community managers. Let’s make this the central hub for LATAM North players to be heard. With enough voices and evidence here, this request will be impossible to ignore. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Para EA/DICE y jugadores de Battlefield en América Latina: Solicitamos a EA/DICE que agregue servidores oficiales de Battlefield en México para dar servicio a jugadores de México y la región de LATAM Norte (incluyendo Centroamérica y estados fronterizos de EE. UU.). Actualmente, los jugadores de esta región deben conectarse a servidores lejanos como San José, Dallas, Miami o Brasil. La distancia adicional y el enrutamiento afectan la respuesta y consistencia en las partidas un problema que otros títulos importantes ya han resuelto añadiendo servidores en México. Por qué esto importa: Una latencia más alta afecta el registro de disparos, la velocidad de reacción y la calidad general de las partidas. Muchos jugadores abandonan o dejan de participar por problemas de conexión que podrían evitarse. Los jugadores en México deberían disfrutar de la misma experiencia de baja latencia que tienen sus vecinos al otro lado de la frontera. Por qué México es la ubicación adecuada: Un clúster de servidores en Ciudad de México mejoraría el rendimiento de red para la región de LATAM Norte. Aliviaría la carga en los servidores de San José, Dallas y Brasil, beneficiando a todas las regiones. Otros juegos competitivos (Valorant, LoL, CS2, PUBG Mobile) ya cuentan con servidores en México y han visto crecer su base de jugadores. Cómo puedes ayudar: Responde con tu ciudad/estado y plataforma. Comparte capturas de tu gráfico de red en el juego o de la superposición de Origin/Steam. Difunde este hilo en redes sociales con #BattlefieldMex y etiqueta a los community managers de EA/DICE. Hagamos de este el punto central para que los jugadores de LATAM Norte sean escuchados. Con suficientes voces y evidencia aquí, será imposible ignorar esta solicitud.
