The epic Battlefield 1 multiplayer platform can host up to 64 players who can fight as infantry, lead horse charges or take control of amazing vehicles on land, air and sea. Just like every new game, Battlefield 1 is also affected by various bugs ranging from minor graphics issues to game crashes. In this article, we’ll list the most frequent game issues reported by Early Access gamers, so that you’re not taken by surprise when you install the game on October 21.

Battlefield 1 issues on Xbox One and Windows PC

Machine gun damage is too weak

Gamers complain that machine guns do half the damage of pistols on close range, they do 3 or 4 times less the damage than rifles on any range and even fire slower than most submachine guns. More specifically, around 10 machine gun shots are necessary to kill the enemy and players suggest that 4 shots should be more than enough to get the job done. However, this remark on machine gun efficiency seem to divide Battlefield 1 players: some say there is nothing wrong about the damage level of machine guns, while others suggest the game developers should actually take a look at this issue.

Battlefield 1 freezes and crashes

This happens especially during multiplayer, in the middle of a gun fight. Other times, the game crashes when players try to record a picture/clip. This issue occurs on both the Xbox One and Xbox One S consoles, as well as on PC.

Low FPS rate issues

Battlefield 1’s FPS rate sometimes dips below 30 causing severe stuttering.  Judging by gamers’ reports, low FPS rate issues are prevalent on Conquest, while Domination is smooth. Hopefully, Dice will optimize the FPS rate in the coming months, although most likely, FPS bugs will also be present in the October 21 game version. SPONSORED

Fullscreen doesn’t work

This issue affects Windows PC gamers, forcing them to play in windowed mode only. Gamers tried swiping to Borderless, then back to Fullscreen, but this action didn’t solve the problem. For the time being, they haven’t found a proper workaround to fix this issue and play Battlefield 1 on full screen.

DirectX Function error

More specifically, the error message that appears on the screen is the following: DirectX Function “GetDeviceRemovedReason” failed with DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_HUNG. Again, it appears there is no workaround available for this issue, and EA  is visibly overwhelmed by the situation. These are not the only issues affecting Battlefield 1 players, but the most common ones. Unfortunately, there are no workarounds available these issues yet. The good news is that these problems have already been detected, which buys the developers more time to investigate them and come up with a fix before Battlefield 1 is officially launched.
