@WaifuHunterPhD @tiggr_ Hmm, good question. Let's see if you get an answer.

@BattlefieldNET @tiggr_ Something else strange happens in sabotage. When you die from out of bounds it’s sometimes earlier than when the timer hits 0. A second out of bound timer can also comes up right after you die and then your repawn cooldown starts after that ends, not sure if it’s intentional.

Players reporting that the "Out of bounds" timer on Manhattan Bridge has reverted to 5 seconds since the update. Why the change back from 10 to 5? 5 seconds doesn't really give you enough time to fly back into the battlefield. @tiggr_ #Battlefield | #Battlefield6 | #RedSec 🔥

@Oliver1370208 @marcus77francis @tiggr_ Yeah, someone just wrote in another post that the timer in Escalation has always been 5 seconds. Very interesting.

@BattlefieldNET @marcus77francis @tiggr_ They changed it in specific modes. It’s 5 in some and 10 in others.

@SlimThikCuteAzz @tiggr_ I don't play Escalation myself. So, does that mean the "out of bounds" timer in Escalation has always been only 5 seconds? Since its release and it's never been changed? That's interesting. And yes. In Conquest, it was increased to 10 seconds after release.

@BattlefieldNET @tiggr_ It was never 10 seconds for me. I’ve played every week since launch and it’s only ever been 5 seconds. Unless they made it 10 seconds in Conquest and didn’t change it in Escalation

@Oliver1370208 @marcus77francis @tiggr_ Nah, the whole issue is likely just an update bug 😎 Firstly, because the change wasn't mentioned in the update's changelog. And secondly, because the developers themselves increased the time from 5 to 10 seconds after release, when they realized that 5 seconds was way too short.

@BattlefieldNET @marcus77francis @tiggr_ Smaller maps = smaller times to get back to play. It’s extremely easy to strafe and turn your vehicle. I think players need to adjust instead of instantly looking to complain because it isn’t comfortable to them. No offense to you, just how I view it

@GuyverGamingTV @tiggr_ When I first saw the Manhattan Bridge map at the TGS2025, I really thought it was the answer to Siege of Shanghai. How wrong I was. The bridge is purely cosmetic, and the airspace is so narrow... compared to that, Siege of Shanghai was heaven (also for pilots).

@BattlefieldNET @tiggr_ The boundary need making larger. It's far too small.

@wilkymsb @ellioter89 @tiggr_ Yeah, there are some serious problems with the balancing

@ellioter89 @BattlefieldNET @tiggr_ Add to that they have basically doubled the amount of munitions engineers have by almost double it's so unbalanced my countermeasures take ages to cool down while these fucks can now 1 man a tank quite easily there's no balance

@Tau_Enjoyer94 @Maschinengeweh4 @tiggr_ Good to know. Thx for info.

@Maschinengeweh4 @BattlefieldNET @tiggr_ the revive 20 teamates in a match challenge has also been reverted to 50 (which is dumb since i complete the 20 revive part of the challenge, but since i didn't completed the incendiary part, it just got resetted lol) i dont really care though, but still a overlook..

@marcus77francis @tiggr_ I understand your point, but that's not what this is about. The issue is that once the pilots fly out of bounds, they need enough time to return to the playable area. That's not possible with only 5 sec. 10 sec is normal, just like in the older Battlefield games.

@BattlefieldNET @tiggr_ The goal is that you don’t abuse out of bounds to escape a rocket. Which is what many pilots do.

@JohnixFTW @ellioter89 @tiggr_ Hehehe

@ellioter89 @BattlefieldNET @tiggr_ i agree, but the new map had me yelling in Vietnamese and shooting rpgs at tanks, so i do dare say, we kinda back

@JohnixFTW @ChigurhD @tiggr_ Yeah, I always back up my config files now. They've been overwritten far too often in recent years.

@BattlefieldNET @ChigurhD @tiggr_ we can back up settings? i dont know it woulda worked tho, they seemed to have changed the number scales too

@ChigurhD @tiggr_ Yeah, probably. Regarding keybinds, I've made it a habit to back up the config files.

@BattlefieldNET @tiggr_ Same coder who was responsible for keybinds probably. Reset both.

@ellioter89 @tiggr_ Too many devs working on BF6 who don't possess the pure Battlefield DNA. David Sirland and his former DICE colleagues should be locked in a room with the other former colleagues from Embark Studios and let out again after 2-3 years. Then we would get a 100% Battlefield again! 😉

@BattlefieldNET @tiggr_ This game is clearly an anti-vehicles philosophy. They want people to focus on CQC (Like a CoD game). They lied about taking battlefield to its roots. Air vehicles are dead (at the moment). WTF are you supposed to do with all those restraints?

@TheTopMostDog Yeah, I completely agree. And the use of AI makes everything worse.

Going out on a limb, I think it's the spaghetti code again. I figure individual devs commit individual changes on surface files, then the studio/team combines all the changes into one for the patch. But I imagine these fixes they're implementing sometimes requires them to go layers deeper in the code and edit other references to things in files not part of the branch they're supposed to be editing. Then for the final consolidation of the patch, they accidentally only take the most recently edited version of that more root file. Might only have a couple of versions, and maybe it's studio-based (one guy from each studio going that deep), but if changes aren't properly merged, it would result in what we're seeing; fixes not getting properly implemented, or even entirely undone between versions. What's a bet they're using AI to merge differences into one file... my own experience with that kinda stuff is, when you change the number of lines or nest something, it thinks entire chunks of the file are now "different" even though they only moved slightly and it fails to merge them properly, requiring proof reading everything. It's actually more work than doing it manually and remaining familiar with the code. I entirely stopped using automated difference editing because of it. This was when I was learning to code my own website in HTML/CSS, I legit just went back to using notepad and manually editing text files, nothing automated. Best way to learn, anyway.

@TheTopMostDog @Maschinengeweh4 @tiggr_ Yeah, that's right. The first weekend of the open beta was the best experience for me. By the second open beta weekend, they had already made changes, and things weren't going so well for many people.

@Maschinengeweh4 @BattlefieldNET @tiggr_ BF5 beta was the smoothest BF experience I'd had since frostbite. I was so keen for release, then it seemed like they went and rolled back a version. The running joke was we rolled back PC to the same build for consoles. Shame I didn't tweet at the time. x.com/TheTopMostDog/…

@TheTopMostDog @Maschinengeweh4 @tiggr_ I've never been able to get into the whole "Battlefield Studios" thing. 4 different studios contribute components to Battlefield 6, and then a student has to put it all together? But all joking aside. One studio on its own (maybe with some help by another one) and that's it.

@Maschinengeweh4 @BattlefieldNET @tiggr_ Almost as if fixes were being built upon the previous version, and not the latest patch version. Growing pains, having four studios working on the same game?

@Maschinengeweh4 @tiggr_ Yeah, the left hand doesn't know what the right is doing. Honestly, alarm bells start ringing for me as soon as I read anything about an upcoming patch.

@BattlefieldNET @tiggr_ PSA: They never fixed MR issue, yet it's marked as solved problem in Patch notes. Official Discord stated issue is being "looked at", not solved

@Maschinengeweh4 @tiggr_ Good that you brought up the IFV Lock Guides. I wasn't aware of that.

@BattlefieldNET @tiggr_ Some of changes that made before got partially reverted, by accident I think IFV Lock Guides were dealing lesser damages to stationary Tanks. Now it deals more than 643 damage to front constantly They need to overlook issues thoroughly before releasing patch

@awolf_2049 @tiggr_ I don't understand that either. I really wonder how many employees at DICE are messing around with the server configuration.

@BattlefieldNET @tiggr_ It really seems like the C-team is handling the seasonal maintainence. Why are there so many little bugs?
