No, you’re not seeing things; it’s a glitch in the system.
Last weekend, I was pleasantly surprised by how well the Battlefield 6 open beta was holding up. The series has repeatedly fallen into the trap of launching in an unoptimised state, only getting tidied up months or even a year later. Battlefield 6 has, seemingly, bucked this trend, as I was getting silky smooth FPS and virtually no server issues.
When I loaded up the Battlefield 6 open beta today, which just came back with new content as part of the Weekend 2 trial, I was slapped in the face by low framerates and feared the worst: the first weekend was all a mirage. I ventured into the settings menu and noticed two issues: my refresh rate had been capped at 60Hz (instead of my usual 144Hz), and DLSS upscaling had completely vanished.
