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

I'm not having a problem with it, I have it installed on 3 different PC's ranging from my sig machine which is the most powerful one I have, down to an i5 2500k and HD5870.

okay, do you think it is worth it to pick up another 670 for sli or sell my current 670 for around $225 and try to get a new card?

What resolution do you play at? I have no problems on my laptop which has a 780m. I believe it probably should have similar FPS to your 670, albeit it has twice the RAM.

I go from doing awesome one game, like 30-5 to next map 5-15. I don't understand if its just the maps, or cheaters happen to join.

It's all about the team you're on. If you team is trash they aren't doing anything to distract the other team from you.

I would consider myself a very good to bordlerline ridiculously good player and there are times where I am unable to do anything because I'm getting shot from every direction as soon as I spawn.

In that situation I usually just wait for a spawn where I don't die instantly and then start doing what I can to change the tide of the battle. Last night I played a round where I started 1-11 without even seein the map for more than 3 seconds at a time. I evenetually got a good spawn in and enged 38-18. Not the most impressive score, but considering what I was up against not bad.

Just press tab, see the rest of your team at 3-10 and just know that they are the reason you are getting decimated.

I am so pissed off at EA right now.

For anyone who cares to scroll back - I have been having incessant crashing issues for days now. I finally just gave up and quit playing for the past3-4 days.

Thought Id give it one last try before pursuing a refund.

My excellent luck continued. Some dipshit Russian hacked my account. I game a lot but have evaded that plague for years.

So I tried contacting EA to discuss my issues. Support gave me the finger and refused to deal with me.

Took forever to find a support phone # which is ridiculous.

I waited on hold for a long while and was dropped/kicked to the curb in about 45 seconds. They just do not give a shit at all. I am still in shock over how godawful they treated me.

Needless to say, I am demanding a refund at this time.

No - was not at all hostile with them. I barely got a word out. As soon as I suggested the game was buggy the EA rep got belligerent.

Sumit: okay i will forwarding your request to our supervisor but they will contact through email and it may take 10-15 days.

Ridiculous.

My SLI scaling was poor under windows 7 but excellent under windows 8. So take that from that what you will. My recommendation, if you're running windows 8 there's a nice benefit to SLI, assuming you've got enough CPU to take advantage of it.

after the crap that was TDM on BF3 i didn't really think they could mess it up beyond that

i was so wrong.

not only are the random spawns bad but the predictable ones are so crappy that someone just sets up an auto moarter on it and kills before you fully even load into the game

I think the major problem is that your character model spawns into the game a full 3+ seconds before you actually take control. Thus, people can have you dead to rights before you get a chance to move. It makes zero sense.

 

[AznAnarchy99]

Half a game. Crash.

that still doesn't address the major issue whic is they made spawn camping easier

 

[velillen]

Plays fine on my i3-540 and ....6950. I used the defualt settings the game picked (high for quite a few things) and it plays just fine

 

[AznAnarchy99]

Crash again. fuck this game.

 

[The Sauce]

I do not think that I have been successfully revived yet without immediately auto-die the second I come back. I know it cant be simple bad luck and getting shot at that exact moment every time. Is this a known bug?

It's not a bug. It is most people defibbing the bare minimum so you're on the verge of dying again instantly. I've been trying more and more to give people full defibs so they can hopefully get to a safer spot after coming back.

It's how/where you revive people more than that. I always revived (BF3) by tossing a grenade first to push people back (in hallways). Also, don't revive people who don't have cover. Can't tell you how many times I see someone revive me at a choke point in say locker...

Reviving someone exposed, even at 100% health, is still seriously stupid.

No argument on any of this.

The netcode and/or hitreg is completely fucked up, and I mean completely. Oh, along with spawn system.
I am getting shot through walls, grenaded around corners, instakilled upon spawn before the screen even changes from black to anything, etc.
Seriously considering waiting until they release whatever patch they are cooking, praying it contains some changes to this. Currently the game is completely ridiculous, and below average player basically stands no chance.

I've noticed the same problems. Plus I can turn a corner, unload half a clip in someone and they fire a single shot and I'm dead. DICE sucks, if this is the best they can do then the bar has been significantly lowered.

Anyone know why I get this every time I join a server? I already installed the latest beta 8 drivers.

Is NO ONE else seeing this with the AMD 13.11 beta drivers? Why does it keep saying I have 13.4 installed... my catalyst drivers screwed up somehow?

I'm not getting that....

 

[suklee]

Weird, I guess I'll try a complete uninstall & reinstall...

What resolution to you play at? At 1920x1080 a second card might be the best option, assuming you can get one for around $225 or so. For you the next card worth upgrading to is at $400.

Crash again. fuck this game.

same thing happening to me, i quit mp and went to sp(for unlocking dogtags ) crahsed there too. though after that one crash sp worked fine , almost completed it.


i left bf4 till nxt update/patch/fix comes. back to dota 2 till then

What exactly happened?
In cases like these it's usually not hacking but rather either having someone guessed someone elses password, mailbox compromised, or similar crap... Needless to say, it sucks, and the end result is you're screwed.

 

[LtMikePowelll]

They need to buff the damage of the AT rocket vs vehicle, especially attack boats because one can rack up so many kills by having active protection and rocket only does 14 damage to the side of a thin skin boat.

BTW, avoid -SOC- (LA based one) server because it is always lopsided 600+ to 0.

 

[TallBill]

Haven't had that issue with boats. Their movement is super easy to predict and extra gunners are easy to pick off.
