The first players can finally lay hands on the beta of Battlefield 2042 and encounter some problems. But according to DICE, there’s nothing to worry about.
Finally on the battlefield! The beta of Battlefield 2042 has opened its doors – at least for pre-orderers who, thanks to Early Access, can shoot their bullets two days before everyone else. But according to many testers, there is still sand in the gears in some parts of the gameplay and bugs are still being added. According to DICE, however, this is not a foretaste of the final version.
Beta build already several months old
During a press event, DICE also commented on the technical problems of the beta and had a simple explanation ready, why the current state of the game should not be a bad omen for the release in November: The beta build is already several months oldt!
The version therefore no longer represents the current state and some of the problems from the beta have already been fixed, for example in the kill feed and balancing. Insiders do not assume that DICE will postpone the shooter again. Therefore, it remains to be hoped that the studio will be able to resolve the shortcomings in time.
However, Tom Henderson, who is usually considered well-informed, is sceptical about the current state of affairs and the reasoning, as he clarified on Twitter. He could not recall any developer studio highlighting the outdated state of a beta before it was even launched.
This is how the Battlefield2042Beta runs on the PS5.
Constant frame drops.
Weird flashing.
Huge lag.It&39;s getting worse the more players that come online too.
No wonder they didn&39;t want to show off gameplay…. �� pic.twitter.com/F3aATzDPgP
