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

I would guess they more likely have between 0 and 1 health, I'm pretty sure that health is actually calculated to at least one decimal place.

 

[Anubis]

you could get klilled by someone with 0 health in BF3

100 point kills assists existed in BF3 as well, at least in BF4 you get the kill credit

 

[lozina]

Fun new bug lets you shoot an opponent down to 0 health and then get killed by that person. I guess that's their tradekill fix? Just let one person survive at 0 health? LOL

I also thought it would be good if people < 10 health bleed out to death and you get the kill just like a vehicle < 10 is on fire and loses health till it is destroyed - unless you get yourself bandaged with medical bag before you bleed to 0 health

Which version of Catalyst are you running?
Best way is to use http://www.wagnardmobile.com/DDU/ and then proceed as usual with 13.12.

Cheers. Are driver cleaners safe?

This one is. Can't comment on any others.

Wish I had names of more DICE devs on Reddit. You can sometimes find very interesting stuff there.

 

[Paul98]

Yeah that zero health glitch is a little annoying but I guess it doesn't matter much since you knowing the actual health the the bag guy doesn't change what you do very often. Especially when you are dead.

Thanks a lot I'll try it.

This is a great idea. For people who are concerned about their k/d ratio, it would be an incentive to stick with your squad or teammates (unless running as a medic) and hopefully encourage more team play instead of all the lone wolfing that goes on in pub matches.

 

[Achilles97]

Nevermind, this still isn't fix. Not sure why I thought I could get my hopes up...

WOW. Is this really not fixed yet? I am astonished that this has problem has persisted this long.

The bug of friendly not showing up on HUD in HC exist back in the day of Bad Company 2, and DICE said they fix it but three game later, still exist.

???

There is no HUD or mini map on HC, unless perhaps the server is custom. BF3 didnt have this problem, friendlies always had a blue arrow over their head.

 

[VulgarDisplay]

I really wish there was a way to change the opacity of the 3d HUD. It is awful right now. Ruins the game

 

[Juncar]

Does it still have the bug where you join a game and you get stuck at the black loading screen? Kept having that issue during beta and kind of turned me off BF4.

IIRC that's a punkbuster issue, reinstall. This problem isn't really a problem currently.

 

[darkewaffle]

I'm pretty sure HUD opacity is an option unless it somehow didn't make the cut from beta to release. Or is "3D HUD" referring to something different?

3D hud refers to player names and the objective markers. They constantly cover enemies and friendlies alike making the game unplayable at times.

The HC friendly not showing up is be design, its suppose to take a second for friendly players to show up to make you watch fire in HC. That was explained way back when BF4 was being teased.

The guy who works on battlelog will not answer or even respond to people asking for a high ping vs low ping fix for plugin. Apparently filtering servers by ping is "good enough". sigh

Not only is that the stupidest idea for HC ever, but if it was designed that way then its still bugged because most of the time friendlies are highlighted. And if you wanted to do that sort of thing then why highlight anyone at all?

 

[imaheadcase]

Because its hardcore servers. You are suppose to be aware, they highlight friendlies when you are close, like it does. Its not stupid, it makes sense.

It is still bugged as the SL tags don't show up. I understand the friendly tags show up only when you're close, but they still show up. The SL tags don't. Do you play HC regularly?

No its stupid. Either have tags all the time, or have none period.

IRL, I wouldnt need a tag when Im close to friendlies.... Id need one when they were far off. :biggrin:

The getting killed by a guy with 0hp actually has nothing to do with how much health he actually has. Its a new bug where it simply is not able to get what the guys health is, zero is default it seems. Playing last night I had it happen a few times and in some of the cases the guy had just spawned and had 100% health. So its just a display issue.

As a continuation of my last post, fixed my lag by connecting to my router via ethernet. It appears a bunch of other people put up WAP's around me and has made 2.4GHz unusable. Will need to switch over to 5Ghz only for my other devices.

Seems like in ps4 we have the same issue. Got killed by several people with zero health. Then I had lots of problems connecting hits on my first two matches. I could see myself aiming and shooting and they would not go down. Even saw a hit marker. Playing around with the smoothing didn't seem to help much either.

I only get the 0hp after I have been shooting someone and almost kill them. I never get it when I get sniped, or if someone guns me down for behind
