Game settings reset and introduction cinematic plays everytime I launch the game
Hi Everybody, After the latest update, Battlefield 2042 resets completely every time I close and reopen it. I am facing two main issues: Every launch forces me to watch the introduction and play the prologue match against AI. None of my main settings save. When joining customized Portal servers, I have to re-configure everything (like mouse binding / graphic settings and so on) from scratch every single time. It seems the game is unable to save or write any configuration files to my Documents folder
conquest map rotation
After finishing work, gym and then coming home hoping for some cool air combat and dogfighting some good pilots or pushing objectives with tanks and providing covering fire to my fellow comrades and then queuing up and waiting for like 10 minutes to find a game because there is not that many players left that play this game just to get REDACTED or STADIUM i think i will lose my mind. There is absolutely no reason in this world where it makes sense having a map with absolutely no vehicles be a part of the CONQUEST 64-128 map pool. I think any OG battlefield fan can agree with me on this that vehicle combat is a huge part of the battlefield series and with that maps that don't contain any vehicles should not be a part of the conquest map rotation, while maps like haven, reclaimed and battle of the bulge are somewhat "tolerable" due to still having at least some options i think redacted and stadium should be permanently removed from conquest and just stay in the breakthrough game mode. Countless times i would queue up with a friend and wait what feels like an eternity only to then get dropped on redacted or stadium with 7/16 players in the lobby and then proceed to watch even those 7 players drop down to 2/16 because there isn't a single sane person that wants to play those two god forsaken maps on conquest. Please for the love of god do us a favour and make those two maps breakthrough only. Thanks in advance and sorry for the paragraph but i love this game and i don't want to see it completely die off when a simple fix like this can make it 5x better :)
What happened with the bullet drop on 2042?
So decided to play with a friend of mine and he does not have bf6 yet so we play 2042, mid game we both quit because we got bored due to fact it seems now like CoD, no bullet drop, players don't die when shot multiple time with sws, and even at 1200+ meters I hold my crosshairs dead on and still hit my target when I use to have to compensate for bullet drop, please dice, ea and other developers DO NOT TURN BATTLEFIELD IN TO CALL OF DUTY!!!!!!, yall already gave bf a CoD vibe with all those dumb add ones, and battle passes, steer clear from CoD vibes, 90% of the community hates it.Matchmaking not working.
Yes that's about 20 days. We all understood matchmaking is not working properly or can't play what he want to play. What about EA support? What did they do and is there any info for us ? When will the problem solved? Is there any official patch soon? Or all the players must pay for the BF6?
Appeal to EA developers/moderators
Hello everyone! I'd like to address the EA moderators. I know there are such people here. This is a topic that's been discussed for a while, but the developers haven't responded. And this is Secure Boot. My PC is fairly new, and I know how to enable it, so please don't waste your time by telling me I need to press two buttons. That's not the issue. The problem is, I bought this BEFORE this "protective" feature was introduced. This is completely unfair and unjust to players. I don't understand what the problem is?! No one says anything or complains about newer games (BF6), since everything was spelled out in the system requirements from the very beginning. Why are they taking away what I paid for? I would have already written to Steam support about this behavior, but unfortunately, that's not possible. Please remove this requirement and return everything to the way it was! After this introduction, the technical condition of the project has significantly deteriorated. There have been many discussions and complaints about this. For those who don't know or have no idea what secure boot is and think it will instantly solve their cheating problems. An engineer's response: This issue in requiring secure boot is first off it was never designed as an anti-cheat tool or to even remotely aide anti-cheat tools. The purpose of secure boot is to stop unauthorized software from running at boot time and to only boot from authorized sources. It also helps in preventing some malware from being installed in certain places without your knowledge. Some malware is rootkits. However the question that has to be asked in regards to this fanciful secure boot is what exactly is an authorized software? Does that mean the owner themselves of the system doesn't make the decision what is or is not authorized? The answer is yes the owner does get to decide what is or is not authorized its the whole point of secure boot. It is to secure it from unauthorized software. By default without doing any changes secure boot uses the keys that were provided with it. However, you can remove these pre-configured keys and just put your own, sign the kernels and software with your own keys and everything will pass the secure boot checks because all secure boot does is checks that the software is digitally signed and that the key used to sign is one that is recognized as being trusted. Whether it be microsoft's or your own if you added your own into the list. As you can see secure boot is not a mechanism for a third party to use to validate anything, rather for whoever owns or is using the system to validate that nothing outside of what you authorized can be installed especially in sensitive areas. Secure Boot is more useful to organizations then it is for some individual however some individuals may like the added protection. However it is a hindrance to PC builders or even those who simply have no issues upgrading their hardware as certain configurations of hardware may not allow for secure boot to be enabled or you may be forced to downgrade the bios version which may mean losing out on any functionality or fixes that an updated bios version offered. If you dual boot you may not be able to have secure boot enabled. As for secure boot being enabled by default is actually not the common practice because microsoft requires OEM's that secure boot being able to be disabled in order to have that microsoft logo on their computers they are selling and for good reason too as secure boot was not designed for everyone. Windows 11 requiring Secure Boot is just that. It only requires that the system be compatible with secure boot not that it must be enabled. This is why cheaters will still exist and the reason anyone is seeing cheaters more is not because it is working rather the majority of the legitimate users simply are not playing due to this change preventing them from one reason or another. This will not stop cheaters from using root kits simply because they can tell windows that its legitimate software and trusted and thus passes the secure boot checks and we are back to the original problem and if anything it will be worse since now the Anti-Cheat can't say the rootkit is untrusted or whatever else and must accept that it is since the system itself said it was. In conclusion it makes no sense for any game to require secure boot as it was never designed as a validation check for a third party rather it was only designed for whoever was running the system or organization to ensure what is running at boot is what was approved and you could just allow cheat software to be on that approved list and it doesn't make it any more easier for an anti-cheat tool to do anything nor does it make it more difficult for someone to cheat if anything it makes it easier to pass the validation checks. Overall this change just made it harder for legitimate player base to play the game or at all. So many people are disillusioned that they can no longer access BF2042. Previously, there were a stable 6,000 to 12,000 players, but now there are barely 1,500. So, I'd like to address this to the moderators. Please pass these thoughts on to the developers. These aren't just one person's thoughts. They represent the views of over 6,000 players.
Once again EA has done it ...
So here we go again .... Today I got an update when launching BF2042 and after that I entered the game and started playing and then I started unlocking things and went to look and nothing was there and my level is shifting from my current level 625 to 999 and it says I have BF coins to use in shop but yeah you guessed it I can´t spend it because it´s not really there ... EA ffs when the game is running fine don´t change anything ... If you want people to buy BF6 then stop doing stuff like this .
