    My EA account was hijacked months ago, I couldn’t get it back. Now learning that even if I had it back I wouldn’t play BF1, definetly makes it less of a pain.

    Tho still sucks for its enjoyers.

    I’ve had EA blocked on Steam for YEARS!

    Best decision I’ve ever made when it comes to gaming.

      How can I block a publisher/developer on Steam?

        Go to their steam page and click the ellipses next to their name.

      No. Unless you hide that you are in a VM and do GPU passthrough.

    And if Battlefield were still worth playing I’d give a shit. It has been well over 12 years since I got excited about a Battlefield game.

    Im so happy for the new game Delta Force which is in open beta right now and going to be a BF killer. EA and Dice can go to hell!

      Damn that reminds me of the old school Novalogic gem of the same name. Added to my wishlist, thanks.

        I’d recommend removing it from your wishlist. Tencent bought the name and are the reason all the NovaLogic Delta Force games have been pulled from Steam and stuff. A Tencent subsidiary is developing the game, which is a free to play hero shooter. At this point a game about being a sky marshal on Delta flights would be a closer spiritual successor to Delta Force.

      Have they stated that they’re going to support Linux or at least Proton/Wine? I did a quick search on the game’s Steam forum and it sounded like it doesn’t work currently.

    I quit playing that years ago. It was overrun with cheats and got sick of players getting kills at distances with zero bloom/deviation that literally should have been impossible.

    Maybe they’ll ban a bunch, not that it will affect my gameplay any.

    Now if they could just find a way to ban people using Xim/Chronos devices on 2042 that would be great. Too many people getting no-miss headshots at 90m with an SMG. I know there are some legit uses, but lately in TDM in particular it has become unplayable for several matches in a row because of players using aim assist devices.

    If you use this hardware, I would reconsider playing any game that uses kernel level anticheat. It would only take one of them to get compromised to brick your machine.

    This malware persists between new OS installs. You’d need to reflash your CPU and I think only factories have that equipment.

    AMD still rocks, don’t let this dissuade you from buying them over intel/nvidia

      The first game was named Battlefield 1942, so technically there hasn’t been a “1” in the series before this :) It came out in 2016 so it’s not really new, but I bought it last year and played it on Linux for a few hours with friends, and it still has an active player base.

    Aaaa fuck off I still play BF1 and doubt I’ll get an origin refund after 400hours gameplay

      whether you’re right or not, it’s just so frustrating to imagine that something you may have been playing for another hundreds of hours is just totally unaccesible from now on… so frustrating and so unfair… Definitely worthy of a refund in my book.

      Yeah, you won’t. Best you can do is complain, but they won’t listen. It’s similar to if the game went offline. You are not promised a refund for that.

      I heard somewhere that Microsoft was blocking access to the kernel for third party developers like CrowdStrike and EA because of what CrowdStrike did. Have they reversed course?

        They wanted to many years ago but the EU actually stopped them, out of fear Microsoft would have the monopoly on anti virus software or something.
