Does it affect both teams?

This is what I see. That is the back of a tank.

Sure looks like you have 3d on to me...

I see this after awhile when I am in spectator mode. Maybe after 5+ min.

Yeah I feel the SKS was the worst one. I finished Made In China today and the QBB is not too bad. It doesnt jerk around much at all and its pretty accurate, feels much better than SKS. Downside is its so little ammo in mag. Working on M39 now for the final assignment.... just started with it but it feels kind of in between the SKS and QBB...

You werent kidding! The QBB is a freaking tack driver compared to the SKS, I may actually use it later on. I didnt have much trouble with the EMR but it's definitely not as accurate as the QBB.

It took me longer to get 50 lousy headshots with the SKS than it it did to get all the pistol, shotgun, and carbine kills combined! D:

Anyone got the SCAR-H SV yet? It just seems way to long to unlock it compare to other gun classes.

I have it. I like it. I stopped using DMRs through pretty much after I unlocked it lol. Trying to unlock carbines.

I'm working on the MTAR right now, but need to learn how to control the recoil

 

[moonbogg]

China bans game = sad face. So glad I'm not in china.

EDIT: Feeling really lucky right now. Did I say I was glad I wasn't in China? I lied. I am crapping my pants ecstatic that I'm not in China!

So... when is 2nd assault supposed to come out for PC premium? Are XBOX one people playing it now?

 

[balloonshark]

That EMP screen effect only happens on spectator mode. You don't have to play like that in the actual game. They should eventually fix that.

It's only supposed to affect vehicles because you are using electronics for display (no idea if this is as granular to not affect jeeps/motorcycles). It used to affect soldiers too (bug), a work-a-round was discovered to disable blur, then a patch came out to fix the soldier bug.

I guess that patch didn't fix spectator. You shouldn't see that as a soldier in game.

I see this after awhile when I am in spectator mode. Maybe after 5+ min.

Thank you all for your replies.

Yes it lasts more than a few seconds. I let it go on one soldier for a few minutes before I made it stop because it really messes with my eyes. I saw it the most on the Shanghai map.

I'm really glad to hear that I'm not the only one with the issue. Thanks for confirming you see the same thing Childs.

XBOX one have 2nd assault as a timed exclusive, but I think it should be out soon for other flatforms. BTW, I don't think DICE going to have the Mantle patch ready on time.

BF4 in game sensitivity is 20% and raw mouse input is on. Windows and Logitech Setpoint are set at 50% with no acceleration.

Everyone who gets on my PC says "WHOAH! Way too fast!" when they touch my mouse. LOL

But its what Im used to and it works for me. Ive tried lower settings and it always bothers my wrist and forearm after gaming for any length of time. I guess Im just getting old and fragile. :'(

 

[bob4432]

is in game voip always started w/ a key binding or is there and setting i can't find that makes in game voip automatic?

 

[Anubis]

think its always a key and yes i hate it as well

 

[bob4432]

Thanks for the info,

I tear things up with the ACR but the range sucks. ACR went up my 3rd most kills gun with the least amount of time played. The might start using the MTAR.

Yeah its aggravating. I usually die or have to come to a complete halt before I use it because that Alt key is just not ingrained into my brain. Its probably why next to no one uses squad VOIP. I still think BF3's VOIP worked better for friends (if not squads) even if you did have to take a little time to open a voice chat box. I wish they would bring that back and keep the push to talk squad VOIP as it is. Still have to use teamspeak as it is now.

dang 2 server crashes tonight in a short span of time... whats up

That's the mouse I use...

 

[balloonshark]

Since we are talking about mouse settings does anyone use the MarkC mouse acceleration fix? I saw it mentioned in a BF4 beginners guide on youtube.

Should I install Logitech Setpoint for my G9?

No need, was already fixed by MS with update.

Sorry to bug you guys again, but I have a question. I noticed EA got sued for a buggy BF4. Is it a real mess and I'm in for a lot of crashes and trouble shooting and down time if I get it? Its quite cheap now for the base game (not sure how long that'll last), so its not the $ loss that bothers me, but rather the 'frustration investment' - which I don't want.
My BF3 game works great every time when I want it with no issues, so I can keep playing that. Server choice is thinning out though. I like big full servers.
Is it a mess still? If so I won't bother.
Thanks

I was afraid of that too. I decided to bite at 19.99 and I haven't regretted it. I did the DX fix mentioned earlier in the thread and use the latest NVIDIA drivers and for the past few weeks haven't had a crash. It's a lot of fun for the most part and I think the major issues of release have mostly been resolved.

I only have the base game too and will wait for a really good sale before I try Premium or the expansions. I say go for it as it is now and enjoy some BF4.

 

[jessieqwert]

Has anyone else noticed the way they are trying to force us in to expansions or premium?

Even if the server is playing a standard map, it won't let you in if they rotate to expansion maps.

Do not recall this from BF3

Go ahead and get it, most of the crash bugs are fixed. There's a few fixes for other common things. It's playable but not perfect.

 

[TheNiceGuy]

Cheers. $20? The sale here has dropped the bass game from $66-$46. But then everything is expensive here.
