thats cuz thier noobs.

and that was unplayable to almost everyone. not just a small percent.

They had known about the problems that patch fixed before the game even released. so they had been working on it before had.

Now the "official" BF:V site is basically hinting that it might be months before a patch is released for the game. If this occurs, I wont be buying anymore EA made PC games because of their extreme lazyness. (go ahead and flame me)

lol. well that happens when your in the minority. When not many people are having the problem they'll skip it or fix it when they get thier major stuff fixed.

Hell, UT2003 and UT2004 both disconnect randomly off the server for me, as well as some others. and they wont even reconize it as a problem. No other game does it. Quake 3 i could sit in idle on a server all day long. just learn to live with it really and hope the next unreal fixes it cuz it will use a new engine.

I know that its hard to get a company to listen to the buyer's of their product, but when games as big as these are have pretty big known issues, its hard to not worry. If it was some PC game that wasn't as popular at all, I wouldnt care too much because I already know they wont patch it much at all. But games like UT and Battlefield, they are popular enough that patch's are needed here and there to solve problems so people can continue playing them like it should be.

i dunno. i myself just think its a little outragous to be asking for a patch this early and expecting it. Its not good for them to not quickly patch some of thier customers, but its also not good to release so many patches it makes the majority complain. they'll probably just be sticking that fix in with all thier others in a big patch. IMO will be out within the next month.

But BTW, EA has nothing to do with it, Dice is the developer, they make the game, they make the patches. EA just publishes it.

Yeah, I know Dice made the game

I'm just used to companies releasing patches within a week or 2 of knowing its an issue. I'm not trying to demand there should be a patch, but it would help to have a patch. I agree its not good to release multiple patches all the time, but some wouldn't hurt.

Hell FFXI had a huge ass patch before the game even hit shelves

Well thats why i dont understand why they didnt release a demo. they didnt for either battlefield and imo its a stupid idea. developers can work out a ton of bugs with a demo release.
