mostly gaming, otherwise on here. VGC (@VeteranGamersCo). #VP on insta. A guy doing IT things & occasional dev. 30/M.
Often terrible at explaining things.
As of October 26th 2026, this is the current list of issues that I have.
-The orange dot bug is still in the game, has been since launch. They thought they fixed it, but it still isn't. They are also persistent through pressing the clear all button, which barely works.
-They've only just fixed the audio, a year after release. But grateful now because it actually works sufficiently. So a small kudos in that area.
-Hitreg is still iffy, at times not registering you shooting at someone at all, like they have god mode on.
-There's still a multitude of QoL which the game needs, and still hasn't had such as the resupply pouch disappearing occasionally when throwing it down to resupply yourself (not the crate, but the pouch), could easily have a BFV style self-use option instead of having to throw it down.
-All weapons still need a re-balancing pass, as the TTK is still 250ms for several weapons. But since there's a REDSEC tourney, they're not going to touch that this side of it all.
-The server browser should have been in the game at launch, since it was demanded in the months leading up to the first announcement of BF Labs, way before the game was even released. Feedback was ignored and now we're here, we're only just getting it at the end of Season 5 in December, which is just diabolical.
-The killfeed still has delays for events, kills can appear late or never in some cases.
-The options menu would benefit from a search function to quickly find settings, I requested this at launch, and while it seems extremely logical, we still haven't got this.
-The deployable cover frequently runs in to issues trying to place it in areas where there are invisible collisions or objects which claim to be blocking the placement, when there is nothing there to block it. This has been a launch day issue too.
-I see a lot of people still experiencing crashing, and have done since launch, but touch wood, I haven't had any crashing at all as far as I can remember.
-Attachment points need rebalancing, lowering on some attachments etc.
-AI in BF6 somehow have the classic 2042 era bug where they run up to you when you are downed, get ready to revive you and then run away and never return. They also have the bug where they run to you with the resupply crate out like you're going to get resupplied, but they never deploy it. Both 2042 bugs, which is hilarious btw.
-I don't really have a problem with cosmetics as I don't buy any of them anyway.
-Progression is so much better than what it was, so that's a plus too.
-If you sit idle at the main menu for a while, after a period of time all of the playlists disappear and the only way to get them back is to restart the game.
-The black screen bug was recently fixed, and I haven't had it since, so that's great - but not sure if others have been seeing that.
-I don't have an issue with content anymore as there are far more gameplay related issues as above which matter far more, and it's evident that they're not gonna sort out the content output / will continue to dripfeed it. But if they can manage 3 maps minimum per season, I see that as a win now.
-Jetskis are in the game, but they're not on any of the maps. Add them to the maps with bodies of water.
-Vegas is probably worse than Blackwell Fields, it's just pretty awfully designed / laid out.
-Vehicles need a full, complete re-balance across the board, movement, ballistics, armor / health etc.
Those are just the current issues, that I have at least. There were far more over the course of the last year since launch, and the game shouldn't be that way when you buy it. It is expected to have some bugs, it can't be perfect, but it was one of their most buggiest games released to date, surpassing 2042 AND they had BF Labs to test all of this, and have continued to have Labs, but have also continued to have the least quality assured patches over the course of the last year.
Outside of all of those issues, I can find ways to enjoy it. But, and a really big but, we had this same track record with 2042, and now we're re-experiencing it with BF6. BF7 is going to be no different.
@BattlefieldComm Sure, let BF Labs test this, since they're so competent with verifying bugs and they never make it in to the live build of the game. Seriously what are we even doing?
