BF4 Naval Strike DLC gets delayed on PC.

This Bug... Cool new game mode?

 

Making the game MOD'able would certainly increase sales as people would stick it out for creation of things such as above...in funtime servers,.. without it being a bug.

 

BF4 Funtyme Server /w Mod "Sound Occlusion & Underwater Slow-Mo" FTW.

 

Fact is, if they kept to the BF2 model of a mod-able game, some group of 3 guys will create better "DLCs" in a couple of months, for free, on evenings and weekends, than dice/EA can create in a year.

 

Any excuse they give of noobifying the game because "it's too hard for the average gamer" is just an excuse.

What is still broken about it? I havent payed attention to it.

 

Lot's of stuff, not everyone will experience them all.

 

Major ones I can think off the top of my head

 

 

- Kill cam shows wrong killer (Being sniped from the C-130 is not uncommon)

 

- Packet loss.   DICE has admitted this is a server/client issue and not players connection problems in the majority of cases.

 

- Commander bug that allows rogue commanders to empty a server.   Not sure how this works, haven't seen it yet.

 

- Emptying entire clips into people with no hit registration at all regardless of ping.

 

- Ton's of invisible walls, mostly around destroyed objects.

 

- Wrong player punished for TK's in Hardcore.  (Might have been fixed already)

 

- 32/64 player Servers becoming very unstable unless rebooted every 24 hours.

 

- Sound not kicking in for 10-15 seconds after joining round.

 

- Shots to the toe are counting as headshots, pretty much everything is a headshot since the second last patch

which is why you may be seeing a large number of Youtube videos of people showing off their long distance "Headshots".

 

- High res textures not loading for several minutes from round start.  (Even on SSD's)

 

- Rubberbanding

 

- Stuttering

 

- Severe FPS drops regardless of PC specs

 

- Second last patch doubled framerates for many people, last patch then took that back and cut FPS even further.

 

- Reload animation problems.

 

- Being shot by Invisible players who don't appear until after you are dead.

 

- Floating debris.

 

- Being killed by your own chopper when bailing out.   (You must look to the side BEFORE bailing or you get run over)

 

 

 

There is tons more.

I only have about the half of those issues.

But the last one happens to me all the time

Almost every issue on that list is getting fixed on Naval Strike release.(Ps4 got the patch today)

Patch notes for the next patch:

“NETCODE” 

-Fix for an issue where the kill camera would display the incorrect killer. 

-Fix for an issue where the kill card won’t show up when playing on servers which have the kill camera turned off. 

-Fixed an issue where other soldiers would appear to fire in the wrong direction when turning quickly. 

-Fix for weapons firing twice, or not at all in some instances. 

-Fix for an issue where explosions didn’t do any damage to infantry and vehicles that were outside of the combat area. 

-Fix for an issue where late-joining players wouldn’t correctly experience Levolution events on Paracel Storm and Flood Zone. 

-Fix for an issue that could cause packet loss. 

GENERAL FIXES 

-General stability improvements 

-Fix for a crash that could occur when players were customizing vehicles. 

-Fix for an issue in the Rush game mode where end-of-round screen would always indicate that there were 60 minutes left of the game. 

-Fix for an issue where the splash damage for IFV shells, Helicopter rockets, and Mortar rounds was unable to destroy deployed equipment. 

-Fix for an issue that could cause the quad bike to explode when it hit indestructible objects. 

-Fix for an issue that would cause sniper rifles to display too much bloom when aiming in snowy conditions, especially the outside areas of Operation Locker. 

-Fix for an issue where the ECM would sometimes fail to jam incoming missiles. 

-Shortened the take-off distances for jets to match the length of the runways in Second Assault maps. 

-Fix for going above ceiling exploits in Operation Metro. 

-Fix for a new MAV riding exploit. 

-Fix for kill camera jittering/strobing sometimes if colliding with other world objects or terrain. 

-Fix for soldiers getting catapulted when walking on steep surfaces 

PROGRESSION 

-Added Gold Battlepacks as rewards for Class Service Stars, allowing players that have reached the max Rank to continue earning new Battlepacks. 

And some Weapon/Gadget/Vehicle tweaks:

Man, Way to go DICE Stockholm...

 

I sure hope that after Naval strike does get released on PC that DICE L.A Can do a much better job.

They sure do have a pretty large grave to dig out of...
