Battlefield 1 released!

[pcslookout]

A new record over 300,000 people playing Battlefield 1 at the same time!

Can't wait to see what the number will be later tonight!

I love the battlefield 1 flamethrower!

Any elite unit with a pocket medic is crazy good. However, since the flamethrower unit has unlimited ammo, it is crazy with a pocket medic. The range on the flamethrower is further than you think.

A new record over 300,000 people playing Battlefield 1 at the same time!

Can't wait to see what the number will be later tonight!

Tomorrow night around EST prime time will be the crazy number. EU and NA will be chomping at the bit to play for the weekend. Maybe 500-600k+?

Anyone else that order from Amazon seeing the delivery date listed as Monday? I went with them instead of GMG since they screwed me over for Battlefront by releasing the keys day or two later.

I'm getting on right now. I'll add you but I don't have a mic yet.

Do you still have to buy gear in the website or can you do it in game? Not seeing a way to do it in game

You can on the spawn screen press customize on the bottom right. It shows it for me last time I checked.

Is SLI working in this game?

So much for "game ready drivers"

Well that doesn't entirely suck. I have read people saying that this game is hugely CPU hungry. People with 5930k's @ 4.5 getting 80% usage at times and people are bottlenecked with 4790k's! Gotta get that Skylake-E!

DX12 now works pretty well in BF1 now with the new drivers!

 

[pontifex]

Ill have to try the new drivers as i was playing 1 mP last night and all of a sudden there was this massive yellow flare on the map and i couldnt see anything under it on the map and when looking towards in game was blinding. It never went away.

I wish review sites would benchmark a older processor like the i5 2500k and tell us what results they get with a GTX 1070 and GTX 1080 on BF1 on a 64 slot multiplayer server!

That or someone here had a i5 2500k and a GTX 1070 or GTX 1080 and could tell me what their minimum fps is on a 64 slot multiplayer server ?

I still don't get how it takes forever to take someone down with these weapons. I'm pretty much better with the scout rather than any other class.

Always the case in every BF game Ive ever played, and the reason I prefer hardcore servers.

Yup I'll have to try some hardcore servers soon. I generally get so many hit points with the support or assault class at medium/close range and its like wtf that guy should have definitely been down.

 

[pontifex]

oh wait, i have Radeon video card...

 

[sze5003]

I just recently got the 376.06 drivers but didn't get a notification that new ones were out. I might try them but I haven't had any pressing issues other than being too dark or smokey sometimes on certain maps.

I'm getting around 90+ fps in most games.

 

[z1ggy]

Will I be able to run this game with a gtx 460 and i3 2100 on anything other than all low settings @ 1080p?

 

[pcslookout]

Never mind found a i5 2500k review for BF1 online! Oh thank god!

Are you prime member? They original ship was listed as monday delivery, but then was changed to special delivery (according to UPS tracking). just got it delivered a couple of hours ago.

Can't get on the EA servers. Any idea what's going on?
Game has been working really well otherwise. All the graphical issues disappeared after the big windows 10 update for me. May be related.
On my older system I was able to crank everything to ultra, and it runs really well. I'm happy with the whole package.

Could this have anything to do with it?
