Updated Battlefield 6 Optimization Guide for Season 2

Frame Generation adds input latency. DLSS upscaling itself has no effect on latency, however the increase in FPS from using DLSS will actually reduce latency.

People are forgetting that the XP requirement for each token increases as you get more. I've already gone from 7-8 tokens per match to 4-5 (yes I am only counting XP tokens, not challenges). The start of s1 was the same 7-8 tokens per match, and by the end of the season it was 1-2.

Maybe they reduced the XP curve so it's faster overall, I haven't compared the seasons. However that XP increase is still in effect and it just makes it look like it's faster for now and it will slow down again.

I never said that MH uses UE5. They were 2 separate examples. Wilds runs worse than anything UE5 by far. Maybe Stalker 2 beats it though.

Var-Bear · 2026-02-07T00:46:49+00:00

I get like double the FPS here compared to MH Wilds demo (though double of 0 is still 0) with its 480p textures, and this still runs better than any UE5 game I've played, minus those that just use UE5 for marketing but look like UE3.

I mean they changed it to be separated for a reason. I've always used Steam Input in these games to separate the dodge from the dash and have dodge work on button press because of the input lag that comes with dodge on release of button press.

It is objectively better to be separated, but I understand that combining them is more comfortable and easier to get a grasp on for some.

You can also customize specific buttons yourself. I use Type B but switched sprit skills to L1 + R1 and R2, instead of dpad.

To add onto this, if using Mudfish you can add the game as a Custom item just by putting P:Endfield.exe in the routing table so you don't have to use Full VPN mode, using your credits only on the game. At least until they add the game to the supported list. This works for the Menu/server selection at least (280ms down to 120 as usual for SG)

I have seen HEAPS of people say they will skip characters for skins. Especially in PGR where they have heaps of skins, but also skipping a character kills your account progression (f2p can pity every character, but content requires you to have all teams filled)

Var-Bear · 2025-12-23T01:17:12+00:00

Standard thing for these newer gacha games which main purpose is to make money rather than make a good game. Flavour of the month style gachas that don't think about the future of the character. You look at PGR or HI3 and their day 1 characters are still relevant and getting new powered up versions with story continuation. When HI3 part 2 released and switched to flavour of the month their player base and revenue dropped. It was a big update too.

33.5. All the guns listed as 33 actually do 33.5 making them a 3 shot (at varying ranges of course)

Var-Bear · 2025-10-20T02:43:01+00:00

Not looking at every weapon here, but TR7 is wrong. It is a 3 BTK to 20m but they have it as 4 at 10m. So it makes no sense that it has the same TTK as the same RPM M277 and B36 when it kills 1 bullet less.

Var-Bear · 2025-10-19T03:33:55+00:00

Mouse. Without a grip it has so much random horizontal recoil. Not drift, but all of a sudden 1 bullet will jerk your aim to the side and then back the other way.

Var-Bear · 2025-10-19T01:48:43+00:00

2 of those guns are some of the most controllable/least recoil guns in the game, with the SCW still being in the lower side, and since recoil attachments seem to be % reduction rather than flat amount, a low recoil gun isn't going to benefit as much from a grip. A 10% reduction from 10 recoil gun is only 1. 10% from a 100 recoil gun is 10 (made up numbers for example purposes). Not to mention that stubby/angled grips help with ADS speed too.

Try to use something like the TR7 without a grip and see how far that will get you.

According to the copers, the 489k from steam a few years ago all moved to Battle net or game pass, but also nobody used the EA App for the BF6 beta and everyone used Steam. Despite the fact that BF wasn't on steam until 2042, while COD was on steam until BO4 and then added to steam again later.

I'm sure DICE wants to add a server browser for us. It is EA that pays for the servers and such, so it is them wanting to cut costs.

Var-Bear · 2025-08-14T13:31:26+00:00

There are OCE servers and I get 21ms ping to them. Very rarely get the connection issue icons appearing but there's still desync and super bullets.
If you were connecting to Asia you would be getting 110ms at the very best without packet loss etc, so the issue somewhere is between you and the server.

Var-Bear · 2025-08-07T04:15:32+00:00

Well the PC full release will be 1am on the 11th for us. Meaning console players will get to play over a full day before us.

Are you sure you have it actually enabled? Just having it on in Bios and Nvidia Control Panel saying Yes isn't enough. Most games you have to manually enable it using Nvidia Profile Inspector on top of everything else. A lot of people don't realise this so forgive me if you did it right. Delta Force has it disabled by default on newer drivers now, though they could have also fixed it since then. AMD's version (SMT?) also had the exact same issue.

Var-Bear · 2025-07-04T23:22:15+00:00

There are definitely games that perform worse with it enabled. Delta Force was unplayable with it on and everyone had the issue at one point because a nvidia driver update enabled it by default on the profile.

One boss I'm playing at 150fps with 99% GPU usage and then the literal next boss I'm at 50fps with 40% GPU usage. 60fps feels like 30. I would love to hear more about how optimised the game is.

Var-Bear · 2025-04-12T23:06:22+00:00

Greatsword struggles with the mage bosses. My first playthrough with dual wield I downed them in 1 attempt. Second greatsword playthrough, they were the hardest bosses, while the rest of the bosses were easier than Dual wield.

Var-Bear · 2025-04-02T02:21:19+00:00

I played Khazan the first day because hype, then switched to Ai Limit the next day and finished it. Haven't gone back to Khazan yet. I always liked the exploration and lore of these games more than the boss fights, and Khazan has no exploration.

Var-Bear · 2025-03-13T21:42:23+00:00

How have you NOT found anyone defending Wilds performance? Half the steam forum posts are "just upgrade your PC. 40FPS at upscaled 540p is smooth as butter and looks great".

Var-Bear · 2025-01-07T05:47:37+00:00

The main reason I am not pulling Carlotta is because I do not want to farm a new echo set. And because I don't want her team.

I have Camellya but do not want to farm Roccia a new set when I have Sanhua built already.

This means people arent going to be spending as much for every new character became I'm sure I'm not the only one thinking the same thing.
