I just spent 20 minutes trying to get past the first qte where it displays the left mouse button. It always shows keyboard/mouse equivalents on screen even if you are playing with gamepad (unlike most other games that show gamepad buttons if that's what you are using) so when it showed left mouse button I figured it meant right trigger on the game pad since that's the equivalent. I tried every combination I could, pressing it slow, fast, many times, you name it then gave up after 20 minutes. Then I came here and read your post, went back to the game and now see that you actually have to press left mouse button there, apprently gamepad equivalents are ignored on the qte's so you have to keep the keyboard and mouse around for qte's. Is this only something that only affects single player mode I presume? Can online be played entirely with gamepad?It is not intended to be launched without it, but I am pretty sure there is a way. I don't know about it and DICE probably won't tell. Purely speculation on my part.
I'm pretty sure the web launcher just launches the executable with a pile of command-line stuff, although it might also communicate briefly with the process to do stuff like synchronize the "loading", "connection", etc. text. Just capture the command line that it launches (try single player first I'd say) and try and run it yourself outside of the browser and see what happens
I haven't tried 64 player yet and have no real inclination to. I've yet to find a game where it's a significantly better experience than 32 (or less). Glad to have the option though.
