Battlefield 1: Tips & Tricks

[Paul]

This thread is for all tips and tricks you learn and think might be useful to the rest of us

Second, use the 1907 as a medic. ITS AWESOME

[Cat Nipples]

Tip 3: When playing the scout class, all the "infantry" or "carbine" rifles do not have the scopes on, excellent for medium range combat. You have a distinct advantage over the guys using medic/scoped guns (at medium range) but you get screwed by assault up close and snipers who are far away.

Tip 4: Urban CQB map? Take assault and GASGASGAS!

[SlipperyDuck]

i am going to tinker with some settings, I think non-ultra, maybe medium or high + take off ALL motion blur (should do this already) - this will improve fps and therefore aim centering

[Thor_23]

on a serious note.

When I change anything on my graphic settings. everything becomes smudged ? Dont know if anyone else has experienced this?

Does anyone have a idea to get rid of it? Maybe its motion blur causing it ?

[RussianElite.]

Tip 1: Be better.

[J_Th4ng]

I see that someone deleted my first tip. Thanks.

Here's a weapons guide from the good folk at PC Gamer: http://www.pcgamer.com/battlefield-1-weapons-guide/

LOL... there has been thread moderation... bastards!

[Thor_23]

Wonder who is the Goebbels among us ?

So no one else have noticed the issue with the graphics? Have checked and all of the videos threads online was for the beta and doesn't ref this issue directly.

OK, I am going to recommend this for BF1 - Go to Origin, from the TOP menu select application settings and click on Origin INGAME - switch that fskin thing off - it is a performance sucker and it is also the cause of the cannot use vehicles/turrets -

You will likely see some noticable improvement in your game experience.

Good tip this, have done it yesterday and the game is already better

[Reaper]

Did the same Lee, now i can use mounted weapons!!!!

[Thor_23]

OK, so I turned my refresh rate to 50hz and now everything is 100%
According to a article I found. This is a issue that was carried over from BF4

To anyone having this @#$^ing game breaking crash:
664

.. EA/Dice and Nvidia have all acknowledged it. When a fix will happen, no one knows. It affects mainly GTX6** and GTX7** users.

163 pages of angry gamers. Lets hope for a fix soon. None of the fixes in the thread have worked for me (tried roughly 12 or 13 of them).

I believe its just Tish and I having this, but just in case there are more.

Have you tried rolling back to a previous graphics driver to see what happens?

[KakHard]

As per the actual thread, that does not help.

Its gotten to the point where I can only play TDM to get complete rounds in. I can play other modes but then the game might crash losing my precious stats and its a pain to rejoin the game.

[Phatso]

Double post because why not and this may only apply to Tish and I.

Useful information for Operations:

When defending: Successfully retreating when a sector is lost instantly refills your ammo and regenerates your health

When attacking: Your team gets two tickets back for every defender they kill who hasn't retreated from the sector

So, if you're defending and lose a sector, get back as quickly as possible. Don't hang around for kills, you'll only end up hurting your team.

Seems to be working by using that. I will test it out tomorrow.

P.S. Normal support is still on it's way by way of a patch.

[SlipperyDuck]

This may be obvious, it also may be overlooked. So just in case.
Turn OFF VSYNC (vsync adds ~100ms delay to your input to output to screen) - this should be a given, always for FPS games.

[KakHard]

Someone gave me an "optimized" cfg file last night.
I will test it out and let you guys know if it changes game performance at all.

My right arm works again! Ya'all still BF1ing? Thinking of buying it today, if there is still clan buzz for it.

[SlipperyDuck]

yeah man - plenty play this game - best battlefield yet :)

[Musketeer]

Yaaayness. I haz bought the Titanfall 2 & BF1 Deluxe bundle pack for R1259: both games in full deluxe, with expansion packs etc.

[SlipperyDuck]

geepuz, thats a bargain.....

[Thor_23]

Lekker! come and join Musky!

[Musketeer]

Tonight I will be squinting down the barrel of a rusty old WW1 gun...

[SlipperyDuck]

Is that what you are calling your Penis now, what happened to "Ye Old Faithful" ?

[Musketeer]

For those experiencing GTX 770 (or similar card) crashing with Direct X errors in mulitplayer - switching off "Origin In Game" seemed to sort out stuff. Prior to that, I was getting crazy flickering etc. I did toggle to DX12 in game too at some point, but will experiment flipping it back to DX11 and see if it's still stable. No benefit for GTX 770 in DX12 anyways.
