The AT Battlefield 4 F.A.Q., News, and Discussion thread

In Win7 I had occasional crashes initially with my 7970 using the beta driver that was released by AMD on the day that bf4 beta started. After the recent bf4 patch, I haven't crashed once. It's been surprisingly stable and I don't think twice about Alt-Tabbing in between games (or during...

The AT Battlefield 4 F.A.Q., News, and Discussion thread

The only upgrade for now (let's see what happens when the game releases) is a hyper 212 plus to run my 2500k at 4.5. It's been running 4.2 off the retail fan for a year now, so 4.5 should be doable. After playing the beta and listening to feedback, I'm expecting that cpu usage will be high so...

The AT Battlefield 4 F.A.Q., News, and Discussion thread

I'm really liking the scoring compared to BF3. It seems like you're rewarded much more for accomplishing/supporting objectives, both offensive and defensively. I'm not a big K/D guy and many times will put myself in harm's way to cap/defend or support the objective in some other way. Not...

This is pretty crazy but it worked! Many thanks! I practically gave up on this beta after trying everything - updating punkbuster, uninstall/reinstall/change drivers, ran Dxsetup, changed every video setting I could think of, even reinstalled BF4. Gameplay was so frustrating (freezes every...

For those with mouse problems - does your mouse software allow you to assign a keyboard key to a mouse button? If so, assign a random letter (that isn't used) to the mouse button and configure BF4's function to that letter. If your mouse software supports profiles, you won't have to manually...

Wouldn't it be great if Dice would give us a way to import our keyboard/mouse settings from BF3. I know some options are different, but this would save a lot of time on the common functions. And after we finally get beta all straightened out, we have to do it again in a month for the release...

I was getting about 40-45fps on average using the "high" setting at 1080 with i5-2500k @4.2Ghz and 5850 stock clock. It's so early to get worked up about it but overall gameplay was smooth. I have no problem using BF3 as an excuse to get a new vid card :)

So... CoD 4

I bought this for mp but can't stop playing sp. I'll probably end up finishing it and I had no intentions other than to just go in and have a quick look. BTW, this runs fine at 1280 with my lowly 7600gt.

What do the pro's use to remove viruses / spyware from an already infected computer (XP) ?

I remove the hard drive from the infected computer and install it on a secure workbench machine, then run the scans from there. The bottom line is that many of the PC's are so hosed that I end up helping people remove their data so that I can do a reinstall.

I bought the newegg deal last week for $18.00. It comes with a cable and Ulead VideoStudio 5 full version. Ulead is now on version 7 with this product. I'm not too thrilled about the UI and I really haven't spent much time with it, but I think it'll suit my purposes just fine.
