Is this included with EA play?


I think you need that EA Play Premium for the full game but the beta is available for EA Play.

so played it couple of times. the performance is meh, stutters a lot... and I would expect more FPS, and if not, then at least stutter free experience. UI is like they have 5yo to design that...

the beta is punishment for preordering...

Launcherception!
I just clicked on Steam's 'Play the Derpfield 2042 Open Beta' and downloaded it from there - Origin should launch when actually starting the game as per usual with the EA-Gabe combo.

My guess is this will be a flop. Why pay full price for a game that looks like bf4? I'm not feeling it.

I have seen number of people say it feels like its COD Warzone with a Battlefield HUD on it.

I have been disappointed with the last 2 Battlefields so I will have to give this one a try during this beta but overall I am not super hyped for it. Maybe the map for the beta and game mode are just a bad example for the overall game but that will not be known till the full release.

OK, Steam worked to get it. Stupid enough, Origin didn't have it for me even though I have it preordered Evil or Very Mad

played a match yesterday (got access without preordering? gamepass ultimate did this somehow maybe?)
it was fun and ran well, but I got a beefy PC

wouldn't pay 60€ for it but I'd go for it for up to 25

128 players is pretty cool, looking around the map it was cool to see many smaller battles going on everywhere. nice battlefield vibe

The guns sound so muffled as if they are all suppressed, even the tanks. I wonder if they even bothered recording some real gun sounds.

Directional sound is a total mess, people parachute behind you in quiet mode.

Weapons feels pretty good but as soon as you enter a vehicle it's like your playing with massive input lag. And view glitches and shakes around.

This is so bad. Glitches random frame drops and in vehicle the screen stutters all over. Like if dice has never made a battlefield game before.
An open beta from EA is more a marketing thing then a real beta, besides fixing some compatibility issues perhaps with certain hardware it's more of a demo to sell the game. At least it should be. This is in such a poor state like it's even doubtfull all the stuff will be fixed ar release.

Absolute jank.

The worst BF BETA I've played:

• microstuttering
• stuttering
• rubber-banding
• insta-kills
• same framerate (around 55) no matter the settings (MEDIUM vs HIGH - made no difference)
• everything feels so rough and it's obvious that this game version is still in development
• CPU hovers at around 100% almost all the time (i7 6700k)
• can't shoot from vehicle (gunner position), as the gun jitters and shakes all the time

There MIGHT be a good game under all this, though. Also, that 'Portal' game mode might still be fun if they iron out the tech issues.

But the beta is apparently a couple of month old code Smile

BS. They need to sell the game with the open beta. This is the best they have.
Why use an old code? It's not usefull for bug fixing and it scares away potential players.

The performance, UI, overall bugs and jankiness in the demo show a game that is FAR from being ready for release.

Will the game at launch be MUCH different than the demo?
Is there another 'branch' they are working on rn?
Are they way behind with development?

Because that's how you get people to preorder your game, by showing them an inferior product. Laughing Laughing

It's practically unplayable for me (which isn't unexpected) so I can't quite form an opinion besides the obvious one where I point the finger at the arcade-y feeling and its underlying roughness. Indeed it feels like it's a product that needs a lot of time before it can qualify as presentable, not that it matters anyway.

Considering how dire the 30 fps playtest was the beta is an improvement. With beta getting average 70 fps (albeit with drops to 46 fps and leaps to 105 fps) but clearly bugs-a-plenty and the UI remains quite awful.

Won't be pre-ordering and will wait till its released and has been patched to fix the obvious issues.

Finally had a chance to play this for a few hours at Ultra settings. Feels buggy, much more like alpha instead of near-to-release ready version.

Tons of bugs from flying vehicles wrapping, pilots (sometimes many of them at the same time) sitting outside aircrafts etc..



The game could be fun IF/WHEN it is fixed with 5-10 friends to play with. Otherwise I wouldnt waste my money on this.
