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

[LtMikePowelll]

I've read conflicting information about the M16 versions in the game. Can anyone confirm if the M16A3 / full-auto-M16 is in the game?

Thanks!

Burst version M16A4 only and take 59000 assault rifle score to unlock

Yah when they get battlelog and server crashes fixed, also fixing the TDM ticket count, game will be great. Lots of people turned off right now with these issues.

Oh and when I get new video card.

Upgraded from a GTX 480 to 780 last night. God. Daaaaaamn. This game is beautiful. Single player is jaw dropping.

How the hell is this game being released with all these issues?I have been on 4 servers today and 3 of them have crashed.Bugs ranging from flickering graphics despite having 331.65 drivers installed to random teammate deaths out of no where to exiting helicopters despite not pressing anything....much worst then the BF3 experience i had when it came out.

Any patch's soon?Nothing i enjoy more then a half busted game to play on the weekends.Only good thing i can say is that the game does feel smother and performance is much better but that is about it so far.

Time to kill in this game is weird. Sometimes it seems way to low. Other times it takes forever.

I am shocked how well my 6850 plays this game. On Medium, at 1080p it is at 40-60fps.

I am also shocked at how bad I am! Need to get some team play going once I figure it all out!

Is Battlefield over hyped?
I only see like 4 server with people playing during the even hours.

Change your filter to Free slots = None and you will see tons. That what makes the broken server queuing so frustrating. I also see people on my friends list playing, but when I go to join the server is full.

There are plenty of servers but battlelog is pretty dumb at refreshing them all. It only seems to refresh a handful of them and you need to manually scroll your browser down to get other servers not listed in the initial results. Unless I'm missing something...

I sort the list by number of players...
I think I see what you mean now, sorting is nothing working right.. .

The way it queries and displays is messed up, or intentionally bad. It won't return the full list immediately, and you have to refresh a few times I find.

I just search and have 1-5 slots as the only checkbox. Then I sort by ping.

I simply couldn't level up last night. 3 out of 4 rounds it's either server or the game crashing and usually close to end of the round as if to spite me. If I'm lucky to get no rubber banding on a server then it's the sound cutting out that kills the immersion. Spent an hour checking if the fault is on my end but it seems I can't do anything to make it better. Then downloaded 13.11 hoping it would fix things but it's just about the same.

I really appreciate the minimum FPS boost of retail over beta but beta wasn't crashing this often for me and if sound cut out in beta, it was only at the start of the round and for a few secs only. I'll give it another go later but so far it's been frustrating

I find it annoying that the servers on top with friends playing or your favorites don't show player count. You have to click on them to know they are full or worse empty.

Hate to say I just figured this out because it was the same on BF3 which I have played extensively but I just figured out how the server browser works.

When you refresh it, it grabs a list but not all at once. You could spend 30 seconds on that page before it retrieves all of them. What I'd do is hit refresh and immediately order them by players. By the time I hit order, it only had a few dozen servers and I'd always see a few populated servers. I always wondered how many people really played the game. As it gets new results, they are added to the bottom of the list and NOT ordered like you'd think.

So, refresh, wait some time and then order by xxx.

I refined the list to hardcore, ranked, rush only .. nothing populates, ever!

 

[ViviTheMage]

I was also curious, when is Amazon releasing the BF4 pre order bonus pack stuff?

 

[maevinj]

There's something messed up with selecting Hardcore in the filter.
On the server name filter type in HC or Hardcore and you'll see the servers that are hardcore. Most of them will same custom on the description though.

 

[ViviTheMage]

HC works for conquest, but when I change it to Rush, nothing!

 

[Childs]

I just did the same search and found a few full servers when I set the Free Slots to none:

But strangely, when Free Slots is set to All, no results! So it is just bugged. Try Custom and Hardcore. I know when its Custom its usually hardcore-ish.

 

[ViviTheMage]

maybe that's it ... i'll try the slots full and just queue up.

 

[imaheadcase]

Apparently they are working on server issues before they put out a patch for the game itself. They are rolling out a patch as I type this to game servers.

You know what thing that is annoying me to no end, is the double muzzle flash bug, it was in beta, and in release. It did not bother me much in beta because map was so big, but in smaller maps now it looks like two people standing next to each other shooting. :/

 

[james1701]

Have anyone noticed many times the server crashes when there is some massive lopsided ownage going on. Like the server is being reset because someone doesn't want a bad KDR.

 

[rh71]

what's the difference between an official vs ranked server?

 

[GoodRevrnd]

Everbody spam DICE and ask for a "BF Classic" preset in addition to Normal and Hardcore.

Normal Damage, No 3DS, Squad Leader Spawn Only, No Regen, Magazine - No Ammo Pool, FF On
