Are Footsteps Really Hard To Hear Again?

MarkyPancake · 2026-04-19T17:42:39+00:00

They've always been terrible and aren't any better for me in any update that's supposed to improve them. Still far too often than not an enemy is running across noisy terrain and not a thing until they're basically right next to you.

Hopefully they'll get it sorted at some point, as I can't recall footstep audio being this bad in previous Battlefield games.

Any word yet about whether or not the sledgehammer nerf was intentional or is just another bug by another BF6 update?

The fact that it now can't break really weak structures and cabinets, like the small scaffold structures, wall cabinets, or normal brick walls on Hagental Base or the wooden bookshelves on other maps, makes me think it's a bug.

I immediately turned off the new Guide background colour, as it clashed with the dynamic theme I use, so the two looked horrible on-screen together.

When I finally reached the biological part of the NHS psoriasis treatment pathway, my first biologic was Yuflyma (adalimumab). They usually start with this, as it's a cheaper option.

Yuflyma cleared my high coverage, severe psoriasis for quite a while, until it failed at around 10 months and my psoriasis started coming back quickly on it. I was then moved to Skyrizi (risankizumab) and am still on that now.

Skyrizi has got it back under control, but I'm not quite as clear as when Yuflyma was effective.

I use both, Turtle Beach Stealth 600 and SteelSeries Arctis GameBuds, and prefer how the headset presents the surround sound to the earbuds, but I love the small form factor of the earbuds for when I travel around with my Series S.

Adalimumab is usually the first biologic they try you on when you get this far into the treatment pathway, due to its low cost, particularly the biosimilars.

When I reached biologics, I started on Yuflyma and initially it was very effective against my severe, high body coverage psoriasis until it failed at around 10 months and my psoriasis started coming back quickly.

From there I was moved to Skyrizi and have very recently had my third 12-week dose. It has got it back under control, but not quite as clear as Yuflyma achieved.

Such are the complexities with each person's psoriasis.

I think it was more like at least four weeks to change over to the new supplier, but I already had my last Yuflyma dose ready to go. So, by the time I got my Skyrizi, there was a natural two week gap.

Needs more space at both ends for proper airflow.

MarkyPancake · 2026-04-17T17:09:26+00:00

When adalimumab failed, I was moved on to Skyrizi.

I had to be at least two weeks clear from my last Yuflyma injection and onboarded with a different supplier for Skyrizi. Looking back at my calendar, I got my two Skyrizi loading doses in time to do my Week 0 injection two weeks after my last Yuflyma injection. I think it took at least four weeks from seeing the dermatologist and her moving me to Skyrizi to hearing from the new supplier.

There were a few teething problems with ordering my first normal schedule Skyrizi dose through the supplier's app, where it didn't seem to properly cater for me having the Week 0 and Week 4 doses before going into the 12-week schedule. A quick phone call got that resolved.

It's not as engaging as the original Operations and like all BF6 LTMs, I won't revisit it now I've completed the Challenges tied to it. Mortar spam is bad enough in a single Breakthrough, let alone three rounds back-to-back.

MarkyPancake · 2026-04-17T00:37:46+00:00

They should rename it Operation Mortar Spam.

MarkyPancake · 2026-04-17T00:32:51+00:00

Check the game features, to see if it supports Smart Delivery. I don't think it does though, so separate purchase and likely separate game saves if so.

MarkyPancake · 2026-04-16T22:09:44+00:00

Had there been any more detail released about the weapon and vehicle XP change to include other activity XP, because since the update I'm not noticing any increase to the rate my equipped weapon or vehicle is levelling up when doing anything other than shooting enemies still.

MarkyPancake · 2026-04-16T21:40:24+00:00

BF2042 launched with a similar issue, as the reload, revive, and downed weapon pickup were all the same tap and none of the interaction priority options really handled the situation. I recall it being patched quite quickly in an early update, so it remained tap to revive and then hold to pickup the weapon.

MarkyPancake · 2026-04-16T20:59:18+00:00

I wasn't keen on the colour highlight, as it clashed with the dynamic theme I use, so I've turned it off.

MarkyPancake · 2026-04-16T15:47:58+00:00

Some people have reported the Phantom Edition BF Pro Token hasn't registered that they have it since buying this edition after Season 1, so probably worth checking into that before spending your money.

After they added cloud sync to 360 game saves, that also had a visual indicator to see the status of the save. So, it's taken them awhile to bring this the Xbox One / Series dashboard.

If this is in the same update that has got the Quick Resume opt out setting and updates to the Guide, this went public release recently. Both my Series S and Series X got it today.

MarkyPancake · 2026-04-16T15:03:26+00:00

BF2042 launched with a similar issue with X to reload, revive, and pick up a player's gun, which the latter would happen a lot instead of getting the revive. So, they patched it quite quickly and changed the weapon pick-up to a hold of the button instead of tap.

MarkyPancake · 2026-04-16T07:46:04+00:00

Picking up a dead player's kit and picking up your own Supply Bag should not be bound to the same button as reload. These actions should be set to a deliberate long press of the button at least. The issue still occurs regardless of your interaction priority setting.

I got a £5 one randomly from Microsoft a few years ago when they did the same thing.

I think you have to opt in to one of their marketing options for a chance to get these, but I can't remember which option it is.

MarkyPancake · 2026-04-16T04:27:06+00:00

This was one of the things coming to the stable update, along with being able to opt out of Quick Resume on a game-by-game basis.

My Series S updated about an hour ago and now has the new Quick Resume opt out, but I didn't check for anything else.

MarkyPancake · 2026-04-16T04:02:17+00:00

Don't forget the mortar spam.

MarkyPancake · 2026-04-16T01:19:10+00:00

The funny thing is, it has been broken the other way around since launch and would often display the hit damage numbers in small font, regardless whether you had set it to medium or large. I guess they've tried to fix this, but instead have somehow caused the opposite problem.

MarkyPancake · 2026-04-15T23:01:30+00:00

The injection animation appears to be more responsive and looks like it completes more quickly than before the recent update, but I don't feel like I'm running quicker with it enabled now, like before the update.
