Battlefield 2042: Open BETA

To the people with stutters:

Try to restart your game after a match, I had a heavy memory leak.
RAM usage on start = 4-5gb. At the end of 2 matches = 10gb
 
Also had lots of stutters with 9700k and 3080ti. I am very disappointed, I played for 10mins and alt f4ed the fuck out of there.
Try this


Seemingly a coming issue with win 10 and dx12 games to stutter.
 
I get around 50 to 75 fps with my r5 3600 & RX 6600 XT on Ultra @1080p Was hitting 14Gb ram usage at one stage.
 
I assume if one buys the base game, there will be an option to get all DLC later?
 
The only major issue is performance for me , gameplay, graphics look and feel amazing!

I can't wait to continue to waste the majority of my life in this game franchise.

It was fun overall, a few things..
1. To me the sound was VERY off, was way to flat, had to tweak my Headset software, and set the in game sound setting to
war tapes, this worked.
2. Hit registration around trees, foliage and some buildings were off( kept hitting thin air)
3. The static parachute glitch sticking to running players(saw this happen to a roof camper giving away his position)
4. A few glitching characters

In All nothing too serious, Very enjoyable.
 
Agree on the sound, even wartapes sounded a bit flat compared to bf3 and 4

I hear you on the sound front, also needs some tuning
 
also no cycling on distance when sniping in scope
 
Is Worth getting 32Gb ram for gaming these days? I see im hitting 15gb usage these days in Beta and Warzone

I think you answered your own question.

I did a quick google and saw a few benchmarks. Zero difference in performance in Warzone between 16gb and 32gb. No benchmarks yet for 2042. I'd wait for more benchmarks if I were you. (Although 15GB in Warzone seems high - what else is open in the background?)
 
Only things like Epic, origin, Steam in the background. I did find a vid with benchmarks were a 5600x with 32gb was beating a 5800x with 16gb in gaming. also had the %1 lower value was much better.
 
this bot thing really wasn't a good move

let people fill a server ffs
That's how it works, as people join they take the spot of the bots instead of sitting and looking at your screen waiting for population to create a server.

If you an afford it, why the hell not?

Fair enough, although if they didn't control for the CPU there are other factors which may have come into play. E.g. it may have been a better binned 5600X or the 5800X was running hot, hence the 5600X was able to boost higher. So I'd be skeptical of a benchmark like that. Are you at 1080p? You might be better off upgrading your CPU instead, the newer gen of Ryzen is quite a bit better than the 3000 series. (if you're at 1440p+ then pretty much nothing you do with the CPU or RAM really matters, only the GPU).
 
Otherwise having a blast in the beta when not against AI. AI makes my K/D ratio look good. 🤣🤣

yip, 1080p@ 75hz with a 6600xt currently. Looking to get the 5600x to replace the 3600.

Ooh then I'd recommend not buying anything until you've saved up for a monitor upgrade. Surely there is not a single game out there than runs at less than 75 fps on max settings at 1080p on your rig?
 
No need for 32Gb ram until atleast 2025.

fact-checked by:
  • my wallet
  • my lekker OCing 16gb kit

In other news, I might have an hour tonight to give this beta a go. woop
 
i see you have to hold F to get the knife instead of just a tap to meele, ends up in a fist fight with the AI
 
well that was rather fun! not mind blowing or anything. typical BF style.
theres room for improvement, few annoying bugs and the driving is stupid.
