My pc: 2060s 16 gb ram i5 9600k
Whenever i try to play conquest or any game mode, just bf 2042, my bf1 bf5 bf4 works FINE no input lag no nothing, whenever i play bf2042 my cpu usuage is 100% And my game has crazy lag, my ping is always <80. Its like ill press W once, and my character will keep moving for like the next 2 seconds and then come to a stop, my game will load its assests after a few my character has guns in his hands but i cant see , this happens with overwatch too i guess, i dont know why this is? i have a fairly good cpu my pc works fine i dont know whats wrong with my cpu? i have chrome only open rn my wallpaper engin is paused its using only 2 % of my cpu, the moment i launch my game it goes straight to 100 ( bf 2042) and i just cant even play at all? like my character moves on its on and its just so bad, ike i have so much input lag and so much lag and like everythings just bad why? is it my pc not being optimized or what? is it the game? whats wrong
How I fixed it (still happens time to time but like veryyyyyy less) : Enabling dynamic resolution and playing at higher res( https://www.reddit.com/battlefield2042/comments/13q6kyq/high_cpu_usuage_input_lag/jld9gqh/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=ioscss&utm_content=1&utm_term=1&context=3 )

Hello again,
as in my previous post, I would like your opinion about aiming and the feeling from looking around. I think I speak for every console gamer when I say that the aiming and looking around in Battlefield 2024 just feels wrong and stiff. Especially the fluid tracking of enemies at long range is impossible with the current controls. One reason for this is the controller response curve as can be seen in the following Reddit: Battlefield 2024 Response Curve by Visuomotor
According to the following Reddit post, DICE wants to change something about the camera movement so that it feels more like old Battlefield parts: Camera Movement by Stylistsin
I really hope that DICE changes something about the feeling of aiming and looking around, I mean a smooth and fast responding aiming is the core of a shooter, I hope some see it the same way, especially compared to Battlefield V. And I'm not talking about skill issues.
Thanks for your attention.

lets collaborate once again as one HUGE community and complete another stealth changes list together! This time for update 4.2.1!

Reply bellow all stealth and hidden changes that you guys encountered! those which have not been included in patch notes.

DM from OP:

I would like to thank y'all for such big teamwork and help with past S.CH. lists. this list has gotten few minor improvements and two new sections. I hope that this little tradition of ours will last forever! thank you for being you Battlefield community! and Im really happy that I can be part of this OG community!!!
^{dip dip, potato chip!}

—————————

This list may contain fixes and also additions or any smaller improvements. These may differ also by platforms and users and etc. so for you it might not be difference or change/fix. But most of them are verified and if not. I will mention it.
Verification process is based on how much users reports these stealth changes (if vast majority does) then these changes will advance to in-game verification process. (This one may differ by: platform, settings and etc.)
I will also try to avoid obvious bugs. But 100% for sure I will accidentally include few. Or even accidentally add some twice.
There is chance that I may also include few which has been included in official patch notes by DICE.
I will also add some bugs that are also long persistent and haven’t been fixed for ages.

^{if I replied “added” and you still don’t see your stealth change. It’s because it is in process of validation}

I've been having tech issues with BF2042, made a post here a few days ago, lots of replies but nothing that was suggested was effective at fixing my problem. Made a post on answersHQ 24hrs ago, as of now not one reply on there.
I tried contacting them about tech issues, but it just brings me through a series of questions which forces me to use answersHQ, I couldn't get a phone number, email or anything.
If anyone can tell me how to get into direct content with customer support it'd be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

There were none. 👌
It still requires 60,000 turret damage to reach T1 with Boris which is entirely unreasonable with how weak the turret is: A good game of focusing entirely on the turret would net you 200 damage tops.
The Turret doesn't need a buff, the mastery just needs tweaked!
Dozer and Liz both got decent tweaks to masteries to make them a little more forgiving. Meanwhile Blasco's can be completed over say 10 XL Breakthrough games? The turret was nerfed long ago, but no one thought to check if the mastery reasonably matches the performance of the turret.

All stealth changes that community found out about:

• #1 There is a new trail on the 60mm mortar pod that shows where the projectile is going.
  
• #2 Consoles can finally use Chat during End of the Round screen.
  
• #3 new player card for Thick44 :,)
  OP: Legends may pass away. But they never die! LONG LIVE THE LEGEND!
  
• #4 New store content notification dot
  OP: remember that famous pic of woman dress and people arguing what color is it?… so is that dot freakin orange or brown?!?!?!
  
• #5 Updated "Specialists" & "Gear" icons under collection
  
• #6 crosshair to ADS has a new transition
  prev: crosshair just faded out
  now: crosshair lines converge in the middle, feels much more snappy to ADS now
  
• #7 I think they finally fixed 'Audio in background' setting, it no longer appears to be playing sound when minimized to desktop [YEP THEY DID]
  
• #8 The GUI for the socials menu where you can view your friends list has been changed. It's improved in my opinion.
  = The party/social screen is now centered but high up on screen vs centered horizontal and vertical.
  
• #9[BUG INTRODUCED]
  Kills using wehicles` gunner seat counts as KILL + ASSIST (same enemy) at the same time.
  
• #10[BUG INTRODUCED]
  Sometimes JUST dying inside friendly wehicle counted for me as ASSIST for my own death (with green assist icon). Ridiculous
  
• #11 VCAR with Midnight skin and UH1 Smart Optic no longer has sight misalignment issues. Took em 3 seasons to fix but im glad they finally did.
  
• #12 new glow around killfeed items
  
• #13 store shows whats ''new''
  
• #14 I think and im not sure, but the 25mm cannon on jets have a a higher velocity
  
• #15 I love how when you're in a party now, on the main menu at the bottom right where it shows your friends... if you're in a party, I have yellow text saying how many party members there are currently in my party. Stealth, no clue but still I like it.
  
• #16 They remove "conquest large" in portal mode. And the new "conquest" mode can't be set to 128 players.
  [this is actually bug confirmed by DICE and they are looking into it.]
  
• #17 No clue where my first comment went but i think the super 500 got changed. The hipfire felt different this morning, like it was more sturdy and the circle crosshair on your screen stays the same size and doesn’t expand while moving. I could be wrong though
  = The super 500 is just as inaccurate as it was before but the crosshair circle is now about x1.25 the pellet spread instead of being x2 the pellet spread. this was alluded to in the patch notes.
  The x2 crosshair circle is used for all other shotguns (and is how the hipfire indicator works for all guns) so this change just adds inconsistency. For example the 500 now has the exact size crosshair circle as the NVK despite being about half as accurate.
  If they are going to do this for the 500 they should also do it for the other shotguns, maybe then people would realize how accurate most of them actually are (the MCS might as well just fire slugs with how tight it actually is).
  
• #18 I killed a jeep with a javelin (after spotting him), and got the kill and the spot, which is new.
  
• #19 They finally fixed a Sundance bug where they only had the cluster grenade as their gadget (without the option to change it to the anti-armor one, had it since season ~1-2, tried everything to fix it back then). Thanks dice
  
• #20 [HEADS UP?] Shot the condor with MPAT and the damage number was 37. Thought it would be more.
  
• #21 [PERSISTENT BUG] Vehicle countdown timer not counting down, had to refresh. Coming back from a while not playing so not sure if this was from an earlier update.
  OP: so yeah, this thing is with us for really long time. To actually see vehicles refreshed on vehicle deploy menu screen you need to back out of the menu and re-open it to refresh vehicle icon status so you can spawn it. I HATE IT! PLS DICE!
  
• #22 Seems like you have to be more accurate with the jet radar missiles now (smaller autolock window size or whatever it's called)
  
• #23 It feels like there’s a difference in the way players are highlighted in general. More specifically with falk: when you aim at a player with the syrett pistol the bordehighlighting looks different/more grey.
  OP: imo it has to do something with how dice every update increase exposure, contrast and these things to actual image of the game that is rendered.
  
• #24 Option to disable Hints has been fixed. Now you can remove reload, low ammo etc hints
  
• #25 Bipod no longer auto undeploys on weapon switch. Finally!
  
• #26 There’s a new tint on 1.5X thermal scope, it’s a lot easier to see things.

^{if I replied “added” and you still don’t see your stealth change. It’s because it is in process of validation}

Here is an updated Battlefield 2042 missing feature list as of patch 4.1.1, building from the original list by u/Jellyswim_.
My additions: bold/strikethrough = major change; italics/strikethrough = modified.
Any additional comments I've also put in italics under each point.
-------

Core Features

• No single-player story/campaign mode
• No standard server browser
• Fewer standardized game modes (Can't even play TDM or smaller scale modes without relying on community servers. Really?)
  • some changes here with TDM and Rush added to the AOW menu: https://twitter.com/BFBulletin/status/1597564418757627904?lang=en
• No standard hardcore mode
• No conventional scoreboard
  • added update 0.3.3, modified for class system addition in patch 3.2
• No persistent lobbies (seriously why do I have to matchmake after EVERY round?)
  • *faster matchmaking after games now + UI changes to make it harder to exit / keep players in matchmaking queue.
• No class system
  • https://www.ea.com/games/battlefield/battlefield-2042/news/battlefield-2042-update-notes-3-2-0
• Less character customization options (than BF5)
• No profile progress/stats page in the menu
  • https://www.ea.com/games/battlefield/battlefield-2042/news/battlefield-2042-update-notes-1-2
• No battle log/stats tracker for other players
• No global leader boards
• No dog tags (they still sort of exist I guess?)
• No custom emblems
• No cross-game profile screen (BF 4, HL, 1, and V were all linked by a menu if you owned them digitally, was a neat feature.)
• No spectator mode
• No permanent community servers (would be useful for clans and events)
  • https://www.ea.com/games/battlefield/battlefield-2042/news/battlefield-2042-a-preview-of-persistent-servers
• No test range (this one is sort of compensated for with single payer servers vs bots)

Infantry Gameplay

• Fewer guns (even including all the portal guns, BF4 still had more at launch)
• Fewer infantry gadgets
  • more gadgets have been added through Seasonal updates, particularly patch 3.2
• No manual leaning
• No diving while swimming
• No moving during prone ADS
• No high wall vaulting
• No crouch sprinting
• No backwards prone
• No explosion knockback

  • there is now a stagger animation after parachuting
• No "you are spotted" indication.
• No ammo or health pickup off teammates
• No scope zeroing
• No tiered reloads/paused reloads
• No thermal optics
  • added patch 3.2
• No indirect fire gadgets
• Less anti-tank launchers (Come on man only one?)
  • FGM-148 Javelin added as AOW gadget in patch 3.2
  • Wire-guided missile (TGM-84) for the specialist Lis who introduced in Season 2
• No lock-on launchers (The M5 works with the SOFLAM but that requires 2 people)
  • FGM-148 Javelin added as AOW gadget in patch 3.2
• No AP mines/claymores
  • added as a vault weapon in patch 3.2
• No suppression mechanic (This one I don't mind but I'm including everything)
• No first person takedown animations (whether this is a downgrade is up for debate, but I think it is)

Vehicles

• Fewer vehicle types (and separate vehicle progression per faction even though they are functionally identical... why???)
  • Vehicles have since been recatagaorized https://www.ea.com/games/battlefield/battlefield-2042/news/battlefield-2042-update-notes-3-0
• No naval vehicles
• Cannot spawn in a passenger seat in transports at round start.
• No vehicle gunner direction indicator
• No lock on direction indicator
• No unoccupied seat indicator on friendly vehicles
• No vehicle enteexit animations
• Less vehicle drivepilot customization options
• No tank zoom customization options
• No heli gunner secondary weapons
• No separate heli/fixed-wing controls
• No rocket impact reticle for helictopters
• No option to toggle tank turret decoupling
  • use the "vehicle aim-relative controls" setting
• No control input while looking behind/free looking in aircraft (BF1 and V pilots, this one is gonna absolutely suck for you guys)
• No joystick/non-generic gamepad support
• General consensus seems to be that the helicopter and fixed wing flight models are both a step down from BF4.

Scoring System

• No squad wipe scoring
• No player damage points
• No vehicle damage points
• No vehicle kill assist points
• No laser designation kill assist points
• No headshot bonus
• No long-range kill/ marksman bonus
  • https://www.reddit.com/battlefield2042/comments/10m0sqm/marksman_bonus_is_back/
• No assist counts as kill bonus
• No multi-kill bonus
• No killstreak stopped bonus
• No comeback bonus
• No squad objective play bonus
• Oversimplified teamplay scoring (i.e. healing a teammate always gives you a flat +5xp rather than being based on how much you heal them)

Squad and Teamwork

• No commander
• No special squad call-in abilities
• No squad field upgrades
• No in-game VOIP (coming soonTM)
  • added 0.4.0 https://battlefield.fandom.com/wiki/Battlefield_2042/Patch_Notes/Update_4

• No static weapon emplacements
• Fewer destructible buildings
• Very poor balance between vehicle and infantry gameplay
• No infantry focused maps
• No game changing levolution
• Absolutely zero cover between capture zones
  • lots of cover has been added in the map reworks (e.g. Orbital, Manifest, Kaleidoscope, Breakaway)
• Poor spawn points (Constantly spawning in the open/visible to enemies)
• No fortification building (given how open all the maps are, this could have been super useful)
• Fewer urban areas
• No naval maps

UI and Quality of Life

• Less control customization options
• Less UI customization options
• No HUD/icon opacity customization
  • patch 4.0
• No HUD scaling customization options

Audio

• General consensus seems to be the audio design is bad, especially compared to both BF3 and BF1.
• 3D soundscape is almost non-exsistent
• Less impactful soundtrack (menu music is very dull and repetitive)
• End of round music is dull and uninteresting (compared to BF1 and V this is a big downgrade)
• End of round voicelines are just so tone-deaf and awful. I can't describe how much I hate them. (Tried to keep the rest of the list objective, but I had to add this. You guys understand)
  • removed patch version 1.0

Specifically something like this https://www.reddit.com/battlefield2042/comments/qw1mbw/fuck_it_heres_a_list_of_absolutely_everything/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=ioscss&utm_content=2&utm_term=1 but updated for season 4. I haven’t played a lot since launch but I’m getting back into it and want to see everything they added since then

Approx six months ago, I made a post about the atrocious problems in BF2042, some were new at the time having been introduced in an update; but the two biggest problems I've encountered since BETA and not related to any recent update.
I've reinstalled BF2042 today, six months since last playing it, after seeing numerous posts and videos in the last month or so about how much better the game is and how entertaining it is now. I've installed the new EA app and downloaded BF2042 again, to the primary OS drive this time (WD SN850 Gen 4 NVME) but the same two game-breaking bugs are still present;

• All inputs/controls freeze - I can still see everything else going on as normal, but my soldier is stood still like a dummy waiting to get shot
• Or the whole game freezes and display freezes as well

Reddit and EA forums are still rife with people complaining about these problems, with a possible solution for the first being to disable "Microsoft Device Association Root Enumerator". I've done this and will test, but does anyone have any suggestions for the random game freezing?
I have replaced the 5600X with a 5800X3D and gone from 16Gb 3200 CL16 to 32Gb (4x4Gb), plus the same 3070 and SN850 NVME as before. OS has had another complete reinstall, nothing in my user profile carried over form before, and nothing suggests the system is being pushed too much or running out of RAM or VRAM.

So I've recently just hit level 100 on my account. I know it's nothing major but I feel I've played quite a lot now. I've quite a bit of extensive experience in online goes in general.
Now, with battlefield 2042. Holy fuck everything in this game feels like it's punishing the player and the remaining player base. Which is dumb considering they've gone the season pass route meaning we probably won't get another battlefield anytime soon.
My biggest issue are these lobbies you get put into while waiting for a match and the servers are dead. I don't understand why there aren't either servers running constant with AI or at least have it like TDM that only requires 1 player to start. Then we can play bots while we wait for people to join.
I'm so sick of never being able to play any of the game modes and track mastery just because it's not 'peak' hours. They have it implemented in TDM.
Now onto some other small frustrations:

• Sundance grenade glitch still broken
• Actual TDM maps with spawn zones. Right now this random spawning is really bad and the maps aren't suited for TDM. They've just cut them out of conquest. Really lazy.
• A way to view my offline friends or friendslist in the social tab
• Lots of loading and going to menus between most game modes.
• This felt relevant)

Anyway, why not use this post to rant about what frustrates you about this game. Overall I've always loved the battlefield franchise and this is my first one since bf4 and it just feels meh.

lets collaborate once again as one HUGE community and complete another stealth changes list together! This time for update 4.1.1!

Reply bellow all stealth and hidden changes that you guys encountered! those which have not been included in patch notes.

—————————

DM from OP:

I would like to thank y'all for such big teamwork and help with past S.CH. lists. this list has gotten few minor improvements and two new sections. I hope that this little tradition of ours will last forever! thank you for being you Battlefield community! and Im really happy that I can be part of this OG community!!!
^{dip dip, potato chip! \}me Tbagin rn)

—————————

This list may contain fixes and also additions or any smaller improvements. These may differ also by platforms and users and etc. so for you it might not be difference or change/fix. But most of them are verified and if not. I will mention it.
Verification process is based on how much users reports these stealth changes (if vast majority does) then these changes will advance to in-game verification process. (This one may differ by: platform, settings and etc.)
I will also try to avoid obvious bugs. But 100% for sure I will accidentally include few. Or even accidentally add some twice.
There is chance that I may also include few which has been included in official patch notes by DICE.
I will also add some bugs that are also long persistent and haven’t been fixed for ages.

SECTIONS OF THIS POST

1. Stealth Changes
2. Performance Corner
3. Community Wish

—————————

All stealth changes that community found out about:

• #1 Is it just me or does the controller input on PS5 feel more responsive now compared to the last few updates? [yes it does but it seems that input lag is also connected to the whole server lag that is 2042 experiencing rn]
  Still clunky, but better imo.
  
• #2[NEEDS FURTHER VERIFICATION] it seem that they increased bullet drop for sniper rifles.
  
• #3 Is it just me or game performance feels enhanced and slightly better? i5 9400F, 1660, 32GB, Win11. Cant recall nvidia driver installed atm but I am using Dilla’s reshade for enhanced colors and CAS.
  [controller players has aim assist and lowered recoil for every gun to balance it compared to mouse input. Before this was triggered even when you used controller on PC. It seems that now it’s platform specific and not input specific like before.]
  
• #4 You can no longer spam the AN-94 hyper burst mode, there's now a delay added between bursts (still yet to check if they fixed this bug for the BC2 M16A2) I think this suggests they're preparing the AN-94 for the next roster of Vault weapons.
  
• #5 The PLUS menu now doesn't show any change made by attachments, until you've actually selected a new one, then it'll show the changed stats made by that specific attachment, really solid change
  
• #6 You now get "Request fulfilled" XP when issuing an attack order that gets completed. Or maybe it was introduced earlier and I just now noticed?
  The same thing happens when you ping someone saying you're going to revive them and then actually do. It seems new, I always thought it was strange that nothing happened when you completed an order.
  
• #7 I don't want to tempt fate, but so far I'm not getting the restart bug where first loading was a black screen so had to reload the game to play. So far every load in head worked fine. Wasn't the worst problem in the game but I'll be very happy if they fixed it
  [it seems that this is somehow performance related]

^{if I replied “added” and you still don’t see your stealth change. It’s because it is in process of validation}

In a previous post, I discussed that the vehicle/anti-vehicle balance feels unsatisfying. TLDR: BF2042's vehicles have high survivability but are balanced with low damage output, and this makes vehicle gameplay AND anti-vehicle gameplay feel frustrating and inconsistent. Allowing vehicle spotter seats to SOFLAM mark targets would help in all aspects of this issue.
First of all, it would give more utility to vehicle weapons with SOFLAM lock such as gunner seat Barrage Missiles, the RAM's main cannon Missile Launcher, and jet Radar Missiles, which are vastly underrepresented compared to weapons such as 60mm Mortars, RAM 40mm/Howitzer Cannon, and jet A2A/A2G lock ons.
Secondly, it would improve the overall lethality of vehicles against other vehicles while their lethality versus infantry is unaffected, motivating pilots to engage other vehicles instead of avoiding them to farm infantry.
Third, it would generate more much-needed damage output and flexibility for Engineer launchers during head-to-head confrontations, boosting the utility of our bois Boris and Crawford compared to Lis.
Finally, it would create fun, satisfying team play between vehicles and Engineers, giving Engineers more incentive to stick with vehicles as intended to provide repairs and follow up on SOFLAM marks and also boosting the effectiveness of fully crewed vehicles.
