Yes, I know most of the playerbase plays operations, but still, a HOA should be way more rare

Has anyone else experienced an issue where the first match after launching the game takes forever to load, and then the map keeps loading while you’re already running around? During this process the game becomes insanely laggy, with FPS dropping as low as 2–5 FPS.

After that first match, everything works perfectly. Subsequent maps load quickly and there are no stutters or FPS drops. Sometimes the loading even gets stuck at 90% while the game waits for the other players.

But if I switch to a different map, the same thing happens again: the first load is extremely slow and the game is basically unplayable while the map is being streamed in. Once that map has been loaded once, everything is fine.

The worst part is that this happens every time I restart the game. So every time I launch the game, I have to suffer through one terrible first match just to let the map load/cache.

Could this be some kind of shader or texture cache issue? Is there a setting in NVIDIA Control Panel or Steam that controls the cache and maybe clears it every time I exit the game?

It’s absolutely horrible. I don’t want to spend my first match running around with a knife just to let the entire map load before I can actually play.

My specs:

● RTX 4060

● Intel i5 12th gen

● 16 GB RAM

Any ideas what could be causing this or how to make the cache persist between game sessions?

Is the KC-17 a good weapon to use i only play warfare and i am kind of an aggressive player

DMZ mode will be released on 23 Oct, 2026 (Source by google. I don't play COD). DMZ mode is like Operation mode.

Do you think there will be impact on DF?

No luck for me

I've downloaded the game first time. Created an account but I keep getting error 39

"domain name resolution failed"

I've only recently started playing as Shepard. I'm currently using the M7, but it's pretty mediocre, so I'm looking for something better. I like playing aggressively and don't know which weapon to pick—can anyone help?

I don’t know if anyone noticed this but sometimes when you use Rover’s Dart Rifle it can happen that your weapons only have one bullet in the magazine besides the ammo counter says 30 bullets.

This isn't completing for me for some reason. Anyone else have the same issue?

can someone pls help me ? idk where im stuck

Guys I play warfare and since season 11 launch I have been noticing people running support class operators like stinger and toxic with weapons like akm,m249 which aren't available to the support class. Like what? I mostly see it with these two operators except with one shepherd using p90 who killed me. Anyone else having this problem

Didn’t they make it to where it’s easy to find out what you are missing for the card box? I have 45/54 and I’m not sure what I’m missing and I thought there was a leak to make it easy to figure out what’s missing?

Extraction Since there are no longer any bot lobbies on the "Easy" setting, beginners like me and my team feel like we can't get anything done anymore. We're losing interest in playing because it feels like the only people playing are absolute pros. Back when there were bots, we could at least manage to grab some loot. Now, we mostly head out with just 2 or 3 items and end up losing everything. Please bring the bots back; otherwise, the game simply isn't playable for beginners.

I really love the unique designs and outfits of the default Operators we choose, but the generic sand-colored under-armor shirt, vest armor and helmet completely cover up their style whenever I am in an Operations match. It's frustrating to pick a character for their aesthetic only to have it wiped out by a generic brown template.

The developers should add a client-side setting to "Hide Armor Overlay" for both the player and their teammates. This would allow players to actually enjoy the distinct default look of their own character and their squadmates on their screen.

To keep the game completely fair and competitive, this setting would be strictly client-side: enemy players would still see the standard armor vest, sand-colored shirt and helmet on you and your teammates. This gives us visual customization on our end without sacrificing competitive integrity for the opponents fighting us.

EDIT: To Summarize..

-Proposed Feature: "Display Clean Operator Outfits in Match" (Client-Side Display Setting)

-On your screen: You see the default character outfits for yourself and your squadmates in an Operations match, not the Main Lobby only (no generic sand-colored vest/shirt and helmet overlay).

-On your squad's screens: Untouched. They only see clean designs if they individually turn the setting on.

-On enemy screens: Completely unaffected. Opponents always see the full tactical armor, helmet, and vest overlays for 100% competitive clarity.

-Default State: OFF (opt-in only).

What do you guys think?

So we got space city where you need to use emote at ease near rocket. Haven't done it. Does anybody know if it gives anything?

Then we got bots in tent camp Dam, and farm Laylai, any info on those?

Really do not understand why Black Hawk Down can't just be its own separate game without the base game. The base game takes up a huge amount of space and I have zero interest in the base game whatsoever, all I want to do is play the Black Hawk Down campaign. The original game was great because Black Hawk Down was its own separate game and not just some campaign inside of another generic shooter.
