Apparently there are SA servers. You should just select matchmaking.
Will check it out later today.

There is an ingame server browser were you can filter it by region. If there are they are not appearing under Africa.
That being said you do feel the latency but not so much as too spoil your enjoyment of the game at least in my opinion.
But I will not be buying it if there are no South African servers. Is there anyway or anyone that can confirm the availability of South African servers now or at launch?

P.S. Sniping is satifying as f@ck in this Battlefield iteration. Went on a 25 killstreak whilst holding one of the MComms/Telegraph posts people were raging haha

I most noticed the higher latency when flying and an incident where I hit a guy with my sabre while riding on a horse. There was about a second or so delay before he died. Other than that it was certainly playable.

The sniping does seem a bit too easy in that it seems like a one shot kill even if you don't get a headshot (or maybe I was just luckly in getting head shots). The canyon that you go through in rush certainly becomes a sniper's paradise - it was a bit annoying though when our spawn moved up after taking out the telegraphs and there was a sniper up on the mountain. When we spawned it was at the base of the mountain and to get up there you'd have to go from the other side of the mountain, leaving us vulnerable to his shots. Also the angle made it hard to counter-snipe.
 
You can't get one shot kills on the body it either has to be a HS or the guy has to be partial-ed. Just take into account that the new DMG model you have a sweet spot range were you can do up to 90 dmg on a body shot, maybe that was what you were experiencing one tapping people who were not at full hp?

That being said yes sniping is a bit easy but I have no suggestion on how to fix it except changing the damage. It is fun as hell though the reload animations are done very well IMO.

When does the beta run until?
Click to expand...

I dont think they've given a date yet, this according to GameSpot:

In response to a fan's question about this, the official Battlefield Twitter channel said, "The open beta begins August 31st, but we don't have the end date just yet. Stay tuned for more beta info soon."

Oh and in the email with my code, they said this, so 4 days or longer. :p

If you reach rank 15 and play on a least four different days, you will unlock a Battlefield 1 Beta Dog Tag** when the game launches on October 21.

Horses seem a bit OP


Click to expand...

Holy fuck that guy is annoying...

No offence, but did he play against a bunch of drugged ppl? Half didnt see him and the other half couldnt shoot straight.

I dropped about 3 players last night from a horse. I'm not sure if the horse blocks some bullets, but its not that hard to stop someone on a horse.

I just think he was very lucky, I am not nearly as effective on them as I would have hoped haha every one just focuses their fire on you #rip ect. Just fire on the player not the horse not op at all Tanks on the other hand .......
 
1. Are people actually PTFO?
2. How do enemy markers work, sometimes I see them and other times not?
3. Are all servers 64 player only, or are there 32 as well?

1. Yes (mostly), from what I saw last night.
2. You can only see enemy markers on the map when you or someone on your team has spotted them. Not sure about bf1, but in bf3 & 4 you could also see them on your minimap when spotted, and they also appear on your minimap when they shoot (without a suppressor). Once again, not sure about bf1.
3. I saw both 32 and 64 player conquest maps. Didn't look at rush, so not sure of the player counts.

Thanks, will check tonight.

Anyone know of a player stats page for your character? Kinda like the battlelog page for the previous battlefield games?

I don't know anymore lol, I can't seem to find these SA servers and I've been trying for awhile. HAve a feeling there are no SA servers for the beta....Guy that told me is either blind or not paying attention.
 
My mate might have just swayed my decision;


BBH Krygorian: Right. Just ended a tense close game. Have not had that much fun since bf2. I am sold.
The gameplay is somehow slower and more "old man friendly" than bf3 and 4.
Finally we can have nights just "chilling on top of the water tower" watching the game go on around us and shooting noobs who run past.
Love the transition in Rush from the desert to the urban setting.

Same here yet I hear of guys getting pings close to 40 wth?
Click to expand...

This could be the reason they think they are getting 40

Deceptor said:
If you look more closely at the ping there is actually three numbers. The one is just hidden by the bars while ingame. The best ping I got was around 190ms to the Netherlands.
Click to expand...

So they are more likely getting 240ms

PSA in the options the is a setting called "Resolution Scale" which defaults to 42%
This option is the games internal rendering and 42% is not 42% of your screen's rez but is actually 100%
So for example if your screen rez is 1080p then the internal game rez is 1080p at 42%
If you set this option to 100% then the game will be rendering at double the resolution and then downsampling it to your screen rez. It improves the quality but halves your framerate.
So don't stress that the option is set at 42% - you're not renderning at half your screen rez.

That noted, my reference R9 290 is sitting pretty over 60FPS on Ultra everything :D
