moderately annoying

I'm getting really atrocious performance on an overclocked 4670k and 1080, down to the low 20s-30s at points on ultra/1920x1080. Not sure what's up with that at all. I have the latest drivers and everything. It might not like shadowplay or something.

The game also seems largely okay. The fact that you have to unlock the rocket launcher is making tanks ridiculously overpowered at the moment, and it seems like they don't ever respawn during the round, so the last tank standing has free reign to do whatever it wants.

Footsteps also need to be way louder. I've never heard any enemies walking up behind me.

Also, here's the first time I shot a tank canon:

How about I bend your body into funny balloon animal shapes?

Notes from the front:
- Cavalry class is amazing on and off the horse. Being able to self-heal and give ammo is too good.
- It takes loving forever to rank up your classes, have fun grinding out to get the good equipment
- Where does the artillery truck spawn? Haven't seen anyone using it yet
- The flamethrower class is legit, but don't bother going for the AT guy, it takes 5 minutes to run back to the action after picking it up

Game is still fun and good :horse:

Heavy armor + MG spawns at objective F, flamethrower is at objective B, AT rifle is at objective E.

Heavy armor is best used on horseback.

I kind of wish you could use your regular weapons while riding. Flamethrower horses :black101:

There are a few spawns on this map. I know where they are at, but I don't remember which points they correspond to. Anyway, they are pickups at different points on the map. There is a heavy weapon spawn (with damage reduction from bullets), a flamethrower, and a tank killer spawn

someone can probably tell you the exact points tho.

Try this https://www.vg247.com/2016/08/30/this-trick-lets-you-use-your-existing-battlefield-4-key-bindings-and-graphics-settings-with-battlefield-1/

If that does not work disable origin cloud save on the game then delete the file. Open battlefield and it will make a new one. Then close battlefield reenable cloud save and when it asks say use local. One of these two should get you sorted.

Maybe the beta doesn't use cloud save because it didn't ask anything when I did that. Anyhow, all my bindings show up fine in the PROFSAVE_profile and in the in-game menus but the vehicles just ignore it all and use the defaults.

Can someone else try rebinding something in their vehicle controls and see if it'll work?

Anyone know a magic trick to make the vehicle keybinds work? I've changed movement to ESDF, use/enter/exit to T etc. and now every time I hop into a car and try to accelerate I jump out and look like an idiot. It doesn't help that my use key is what puts the gas mask on originally because every time I jump into a vehicle I instantly have the mask on my face.

So the game somehow uses the default binds for vehicles it's kinda ruining the game for me. How in the hell do you gently caress up key binding in tyol 2016?

I remember Ravic/Blackmesatech complaining about this in the alpha. Said it was an issue already back in BF4. I have an issue with mapping 3p view to a mouse button in BF1. Worked fine in BF4.

The game will just lock up and not accept my inputs for a few seconds at a time. I hold W and move my mouse, it keeps moving forward after I let go of W and doesn't do the mouse movements until then. :mad:

this happened to me a few times last night. It always seemed to be in response to being shot. Obviously didn't happen every time, but sometimes I'd get shot and the game would just hitch and not accept any inputs. I'd get 60-80 FPS otherwise, and suddenly all inputs are dropped during those locks.

Artillery spawns like a normal tank. You have the options for Light Tank, Heavy, Land Snail and Artillery.

Artillery is two shotting light tanks, cars explode in one hit. Just as long as no one figures out how to unlock the AT rocket and you stay away from infantry grenades you dominate.
