We’ve reached out to EA and DICE for comment and will update when they respond. These phantom players are going to ruin the online experience, and EA and DICE have no one to blame but themselves. Things get sad for everyone, very quickly. This is what happens when your economy is bad. You can increase the amount you earn by doing well and taking part of each objective - and credits are given for playing the campaign and arcade mode as well - so this is merely the easiest way to get credits without putting any actual work into the process. Right now you can get a minimum amount of credits just for showing up, which is what these farms are after. Locking away content in this manner and focusing on playing long hours to get credits to try to get the things you want from loot crates that randomly spit out loot gives players an incentive to give up and start farming. It’s hard to get mad at these players due to the fact the economy has been hated since the first days of the beta. Just in case you want to ruin the game for others while earning enough credits to get whatever you want, this is how it’s done. It feels weird to get angry at players who are trying to stretch what’s acceptable inside an economy that was this ill-conceived. You may be hurting your team’s chances at winning and annoying the rest of the players on the server, but this is the world EA and DICE have created. While one player created a simple robot to keep their character moving in order to farm credits without being removed from the game due to inactivity, the same thing can be done by simply adding a few rubber bands to your controller. So clever players have found physical ways to cheat the system.
Battlefront 2 takes forever to load install#
Most of the other stuff I posted means that you need a recent IDE controller which supports the fastest mode your drive goes (UDMA66, UDMA100 etc), make sure the cable meets the specs for it and you should install newest drivers for it.The economy of Star Wars Battlefront 2is based entirely around credits now that premium transactions have been removed from the game, and earning enough credits to buy the loot boxes to get the cards you need or to unlock the heroes you want can take a lot of time. If you want to minimize CM loading time then the seek time is most important and a big cache on the drive helps, too. And just so you know that I'm not just another pretty face I know that a faster CPU wouldn't help lockups, would it? I didn't want to be inpolite, it was just so obvious that bigger doesn't mean better Sorry.Īnyway, the RPM rating mostly affects reading of large files which you don't need here.
1) Restart your computer and launch Steam. The file check can take up to an hour to complete depending on your computer’s hardware. 1) Restart your computer and launch Origin. I mean it's like a foreign language to me but I appreciate you trying never the less. If you’re playing Battlefront II on: Origin Steam. Well, my hard drive will be 7200 RPM instead of my current 5200 RPM so that I assume is what you are meaning? To be quite honest Redwolf that other stuff you said went so far over my head it's not funny. What do you mean in how does that help by getting a larger hard drive? Haven't you been paying attention? No seriously, after reading your last post I thought, what is he talking about so went back and reread the posts and see that you and Schrullenhaft are talking about hard drive speed not how large it is. Getting rid of unneccessary bloat (unused programs & data) on your hard drive can help a bit too. Defragging your hard drive may help a little, but there'll probably be only a small gain with that considering the manner that most defraggers work nowadays. File system fragmentation can also play a part, forcing the hard drive to move its heads around more to read all of the fragmented files. Also where this data is stored on the hard drive (physically) can affect the time to access it. Your hard drive will get slower with the more data that you have on it (more info in the directory/file structure to read through to find the data itself). The models (vehicles & infantry) are more complex and some of the maps are bigger (assuming that you're comparing the loading of certain scenarios).Īs redwolf pointed out, hard drive speed may be the biggest factor in the 3D loading process.
The textures (comparing un-modded versions) are larger and there are more of them with the later games. It may take longer to load the graphics with CMBB & CMAK (I'm not sure what the speed differences are between CMBB & CMAK).
