I can deal with laggy menus as long as the Resolution and FPS didn't drop from where they were...

Yeah the extra flags did nothing. Can we just throw that map out completely please?

Well they added the points in a way that the whole map is still one big fucking choke point. These guys are so dumb sometimes. Add points on the sides, make people move from the straight line. As it is now, B will still be a choke point. They just put all the points in one big straight line. Its common fucking sense.
I don't assume it'll let you connect to the servers with the previous patch but worth a shot.

They control about the same as most other games with planes. I think I read that the campaign uses the heinous Battlefront style, no?

I find the controls in Battlefront for flight pretty decent, I can actually do decent in Battlefront as a pilot

Maybe it's because I play flying games, but I don't enjoy the feeling of having such little control over the vehicle. It was like those dreams where you're trying to run but your limbs are spaghetti.
Seriously, especially at their rate of patching things...if they botched up the Pro version we could be stuck with it for a while.

I hear ya. Be nice if they had two types of flight controls for those who seek a deeper experience.

Man I'm gonna really be pissed if they did. I only checked it for a few mins but it was foggy on the map, was monte grappa. But I didn't get a chance to really check it out, but damn if they did wtf
Dice's time-to-patch has gotten abysmal. It ruined Battlefront, hope they don't continue their practice of one patch every 2+ months.

Can someone confirm the visuals on pro now? Whos home?
Mr Fahrenheit

It would be, but anyone using the easy controls would end up getting decimated by someone using regular controls so it'd probably just lead to more frustration.

Heavy tank has received a pretty big nerf against infantry. Splash damage has been toned down considerably, you have to be much more accurate now, I'm getting lots of 'hits' for shots I usually get in one. As a tank user I actually like the change, I feel a little vulnerable lol.
As a heavy tank whore I agree that's a fair change, but was this in the patch notes or is this a stealth change?

I'm home and getting on now to confirm myself.
Wut? The game got 2 patches already.
Today's patch is huge and improved a bunch of things... just a month after release.
I certainly prefer how it looked before the patch
I noticed that a lot before the patch though. It randomly happens to me, sometimes I hit the ground right next to the soldier for 60-70 dmg, other times 5 metres apart and he goes flying.

There is one from VGtech?
I don't think so, unless this happened by accident. Absolutely no mention of it in the notes.
Link?

Looks the same to me. UI elements are exactly the same resolution in both shots.

Right, but I think 40 players suffered heavily from 3 flag sectors, because it was near impossible to hold all 3 flags in some sectors.
The capture speed should fix this, though I hate how close defenders spawn to the flag on some maps, especially Argonne C Flag
Tbf, aren't UI elements usually rendered separately, usually at native res? So they wouldn't be affected by changes to AA or anything like that? I could be mistaken/oversimplifying.

Unless you face a pilot like me who goes straight for AA guns so the enemy team is helpless 🤓🤓
Yesterday I took out all of the AA guns and I had the Airship up for the entirety of the match. Went 60-9.

I'm playing waaaay better since the patch. I was having all kinds of lag issues before, and some rounds my k/d would be like 9/33. Every round I've played since the patch I've been 2 or 3 on the leaderboard. It's so much more fun now that I'm not dying immediately every time I run into someone. The first round I played I ended up with a score literally 3 times higher than the highest score I had achieved in like 30 rounds pre-patch.
I also just understand what they are trying to do now. There were a ton of things before that I thought were baffling design decisions, but now I see that they were just bugs, unbalanced mechanics, and things that were left half-finished.

In this case the UI clearly isn't rendered at 4k, you can see the aliasing on them. I assume the entire framebuffer is at the checkerboarded resolution rather than full 2160p for the UI layer, since parts of the UI actually blur out stuff behind them. In any case, the actual in-engine stuff doesn't look lower resolution either.

I think most people seemed more worried about the AA solutions causing a soft image than a reaction nerf.
But I can't see either

The new AA makes the rain look like ass at least on the pro.

Mein Gott! That's a lot of changes.
Looks like they left my loadout alone, improved squad leaders and added a quit option between rounds.
I don't care what they say about you DICE, you're alright by me.
Start at 21-21:30 instead?
Was hoping some kind of incentive for Snipers to stop camping on Operations, that was annoying last night when half our side are just sitting in our home zone doing feck all.

OK did a full match and well... I don't think the textures took a massive hit or anything, I mean I don't think I'd notice a change if nothing was said which means maybe nothing is different with textures, however maybe a little softer? I'm not sure... My projector is insane and can make a turd look like a chocolate cake, so it's hard to say.
But I will say this, there's definitely a little more choppiness, a few hiccups with frames dropping here and there. And that's just in tdm, I'll do operations shortly here but I don't know... There are definitely some snags and it's not AS smooth I don't think, least from that match.
Hellriegel is fine tho

Battle packs are just rng at the end of any round, unless this patch changed something.

Wires on the tower actually resolve more after the patch, instead of sub-pixel breakup before patch.

Unlocking shit is taking FOREVER in this game. I don't know what the fuck I am doing wrong. Also those medals make no fucking sense at all and appear bugged as fuck. I can only look at them for 20 seconds while a map loads and no other time. This game seriously needs some patching, at least on PC.
