Think i will be as bold as to say the whole remark about windows 8 having better cpu optimization wasn't marketing bs....every time i find a guy claiming a excellent experience on windows 7 in BF4,its cause they either have a fx8350 or a i7 chip....the ones stuttering keep posting they have amd quad cores and i5 chips.....
The few i5 owners which don't appear to be many it seems to be having a stutter free experience on 7 most likely have highly overclocked chips......

W8 is a newer OS and thus has better thread management than W7, and I don't doubt that may help with the game in it's current state, but I think recommending a complete OS overhaul to achieve better performance in a beta is a bit drastic.
I hope that is the case. I'll be pretty pissed if I have to spend $200 on W8 to get the best performance, especially since it was on sale for $30 last year.
Damnit, side scroll wheel clicking still doesn't work in BF4. I hoped they'd add support for this but no... What's the bloody point of having extra buttons when the game doesn't recognize them?
So how do you get into the beta if you purchased through gamefly? I'm not really seeing anything about the beta after i bought it on there.
Ive concluded this is just a jacked up beta, and pray things are better at launch. Even if windows 8 were the answer, I still wouldnt move to it.

my MX518 mouse has two thumb buttons, I tried mapping Melee to both of them, it stuck for one, but trying to set the other seemed to lock up the bind keys screen
Yeah I hoped the game could do it natively I tried it with Logitech's software in BF3 and it still didn't work, lol.You can probably do it w software
I read that too, the January drivers I believe it was. I may give that a try just to see for myself.I read somewhere that they were recommending older drivers (don't know which) for Nvidia cards. I'm running the latest ATI beta drivers and they seem to work OK. Only one crash that did look video related, a minor stuttering which everyone is getting.

So thats what someone was raining down on me at C today, I couldnt figure out what or where that was coming from. I thought maybe it was mortars. LOLAlso the X25 Air Burst is crazy OP. You can use that thing to destroy people from long range, lots of fun
I was gonna try some older drivers but its probably not worth the effort. After all it is playable for me, its just annoying to get those big dips. Who knows, they may give us a beta patch or two like they did with BF3.Keep on hearing that 320.49 i believe are giving some people a better time then even the most current beta drivers,not sure if there is any truth to that.
