Surprising to see after the CrowdStrike debacle.
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.
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!
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.
@fhein @NastyNative Status is borked: https://www.protondb.com/app/2507950
It sounds like they’re using Anti-Cheat Expert, which is some Chinese AC. It doesn’t support Linux and there isn’t an existing wine module to support it, like there is for Battle Eye and EAC. So no, it won’t work at least for the moment.
Weird for someone to bring that up in a linux community, then.
Anyways buy Ravenfield.
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.
Appreciate the insight. Between that and not functioning on Linux or Proton, I’m out!
Follow up. I was still able to purchase DF1, 2, LW, and TFD from Steam as a pack for 21 CAD. Playing now via Proton. I do not think they have been removed unless it’s a regional issue.
Ah, so all of them have been delisted on GoG. Black Hawk Down was delisted on Steam, however the rest remain available.

So much of my youth spent (wasted, my parents would say) on BHD, and then Joint Ops!!!
it’s in open beta? how do i access it? i only see an option to “join the play test” but when i went through that it just told me it would email me if i qualify
Yup just give it a few days,I just did the same earlier today.
But Delta Force is just 2042 before they fixed the initial mess. Nothing about it is remotely exiting or better than 2042.
Are you trying to defend the worst BF ever released???
Not really, I just do not understand why people like Delta Force as it is just a 2042 clone but without the fixes…
Yeah and thats ok because it’s not being advertised as a finished game. I have been waiting for another game studio to do it better and the videos look fire!
Oh no…
…Anyway…
Best reaction i have seen today lol XD
I mean, personal opinion here, no one should be giving EA money anyway…
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.
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.
Huh I guess I should ask for a refund
Is this like a remastered original or did they name a new game 1?
It’s a game about WW1. It came out a few years ago, before Battlefield V iirc.
It’s also better than v and much much better than 2042. It’s a pretty fun arcadey shooter, with a very non toxic player base
Yep, see, it’s 1 but it’s the prequel like Star Wars :P Battlefield 1.
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.
People still pay EA money?
Does the EA kernel ac work on virtual machines?
No. Unless you hide that you are in a VM and do GPU passthrough.
Yes, I play 2042 with GPU passthrough all the time.
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
That’ll fix the cheaters though right? Right?
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.
