Someone said in game that punkbuster was kicking people for enabling mantle. Maybe a update is out for it..
Most people keep it disabled, it really is messing up peoples setups.
so when you're kicked from the game, is this how it's supposed to happen, you get automatically get closed out from BF4.exe and after 10 seconds or so you go back to the battlelog website and then you'll see the small banner on the bottom of battlelog that you've been kicked?
i'm also using mantle and whenever this happens, bf4.exe actually crashes on me...
100% chance of it. There are several more map expansions planned.
What's everyone's take on the PDW-R?
I'm really enjoying the crazy hip fire capabilities, carbine-like damage model, forgiving RPM, and excellent (for a PDW) range. With a laser sight and RDS it's been a dream to use. Still debating whether or not to use a compensator, suppressor, or keep it plain jane.
I wouldn't mind seeing Arica Harbor, great map back in BC2, but doesn't matter, I don't play BF4 anymore.

PDW-R is hit or miss for me, not enough rate of fire to guarantee a fast kill. I rather use the MP7, both versions of UMP, and the P90 instead
I had to revert to 13.12. Too much stuttering. Mantle shows promise, but still needs work.
for you specifically- Disable your IGP on your cpu if applicable. Make sure you are launching in 64bit mode. Supposedly there are issues otherwise.
I hate BF4 and I think its a huge crock of shit, I am pissed off for wasting £35 on this when I did and in no way have I got my moneys worth. At least I can fuck EA & DICE off for good as I can't see them getting any better.
Its not the bugs that piss me off, its the overall feel. To me this is just another console port, or at least it feels like it was again made for consoles in mind and lets me sensible it is. The maps are shit, so unimaginative, flat dust bowl maps that are all essentially the same with different props and themes. The graphics have some weird hazy dark filter going off that makes all the colours appear unnatural it reminds me of Playstation 2 games. The vehicles especially the buggies and bikes have awkward mouse look, the axis are way off each other it feels like I am using an analogue stick with my mouse. Some of the 3D iron sights are crap as well and some are down right cheap; especially the AEK, there was a lot more attention to detail put into BF3 in this regard. The single player won't even let you adjust the FOV so as average as it might have been I still wanted to play through it to see the engine improvements (or lack of) but I can't without feeling dizzy as fuck. The netcode is just, well you all know the answer to that. In fact I uninstalled after being fucked over by it. That was the final straw.
Right that's better I just had to get that out there.
AS-Val or MP7 for PDWs.
AS-VAL is a death beam. You won't win many ranged fire fights, but just swing the sights across people with the trigger down and they drop.
Yeah no IGP on my setup (at least no output for that or in display drivers)
Also made sure it was 64, at least I force it to run in that.
Yeah I think I'll just revert back to the old drivers for now, the game is a ton of fun.
You have to work your way up! It's so gratifying to take down a chopper full of guys.
By sheer luck I had two TOW missile hits on a full blackhawk across map. Felt amazing.
There's blackhawks in bf4???? Wut lol
I'm extremely happy with where the DMRs are at now, or at least the SCAR SV is. When I die it's usually because I was doing something dumb and playing outside of my proper engagement range, in most cases too close. The feeling of finding a sniper glint on a hill and sending 3 well timed rounds in their direction and watching them die before they know what hit them is extremely satisfying.
However the Staff shell abuse on the tanks is just infuriating and makes playing on any of the heavy MBT maps completely unfun knowing that some dbag is out there abusing it.
I abuse the piss out of the staff shell, but if you want to survive in a tank you have to because everyone else is using it. The guided shell is terrible; takes too long to lock, it finally does but locks on to an empty bike next to a tank shooting you, and the range sucks on it. There isn't really a viable alternative to the staff shell when it comes to tank vs tank. They'd be better off replacing the guided shell with the TOW launcher from the APC I think.
Wait.Wait. How do you "abuse" the staff shell?
