Yup I also from time to time took my jacket off esp during hospital mission in CB, felt weird running around guns blazing indoors with a bulky winter parka...

Sure its not just the 60fps to 30fps?

As they've explained numerous times, this beta is primarily a server stress test, and, after the tons of changes they've made after the closed beta, a test to see if they balanced everything better.
The core game is obviously done, but there is tons and tons of balancing, online testing and glitch fixing to be done.

i'm having trouble with settings. it keeps asking me to restart the game to apply them and when i load back up things like fps limit/AA are disabled. also i'm struggling to maintain 60fps even on low settings. there is a lot of stutter and drops to about 45-50fps. i tried locking to 30fps but it was unplayable.
the only positive thing so far is that i prefer playing with keyboard/mouse. i played the closed beta on XB1 and found that the aiming controls felt awkward. at this point i'm just considering redownloading it on XB1 and playing there. it might only be 30fps but for whatever reason it's better than 30fps on my monitor and a solid 30fps is better than 60fps dropping to 40/50's. also the graphics might not be the best on console but it's a lot better than what i'm getting on PC.
my specs:
i5-4590, 16GB, R9 290.

Better than the last Beta?

For me, yes.
It's not dipping below 30fps on high settings 1080p at all now. I had to settle with medium on the last beta, and it still dipped rarely on some occasions. I've just recently upgraded to Win10 from Win7, not sure if that helps.
Lots of trolls in the Dark Zone.

Keeps forcing me to PS4 inputs, like the keyboard icons flash quickly but changes back to PS4.
Weird.

I set mine up so top left was B so I could hold it for sprint easily, bottom left was A so I could hop over things, top right was Y and bottom right was X.
It worked out really well for me, I hated how it was by default.

The new mission was fun. Cleaners way better than the other faction in the hospital.
Not a Jellyfish
but I am a sheep
Almost a level 7 in PvE...how do I get past the M4?
It seems I never can find anything better, same thing in the closed beta.

Noooo the new mission is "normal" difficulty only? :C
hate to be reductive but so far for me this is just Battlefield in 3rd person
I just tried that but it wouldn't work for me with 980Ti SLI, Windows 10, 361.60 drivers. I'll try a few different SLI profiles and see what happens.
EDIT: I didn't realise they released 'Game Ready' drivers for the last beta, downloading the latest drivers now.
That doesn't even make any sense.

Man im not sure wtf is going on.
When I connect my PS4 controller to PC, my character just keep shooting without me even pressing anything. And im looking at the button detection program to see if any buttons presses are being detected and.................nothing. not a single button press being detected but my character just will not stop shooting regardless of what button I press.
THe moment I step out of a safe zone, full auto firing.
So disappointing.

I totally forgot, that there's a crafting system, too.
I hope it's gonna be good

So going through a lot of the same stuff again, my doubts about this concept holding up over a full game and beyond are still there. Mostly because of mission variety. I have this lingering fear that the DZ will be the real star of the game with the rest being kinda lackluster.
