Worst beta EVER!

Either crashes machine, or just stays on the loading screen. complete ****! pre-ordered for this!

Bah humbug ;-)

I would probably say it's something wrong within your PC. I've had the beta, albeit on low, running on an i7 (stock) and 280gtx with no crashes.

Check the other BF4 performance thread for tips that might help.
 
Only crashes I've had are related to the servers sometimes topping themselves kicking everyone off - which doesn't always seem to cleanly exit the client.

I had a go of this lasat night and have to say i quite enoyed it. My preferred play style is as a support gunner, making sure my squad have all the ammo they need and suppressing as best I can.

I've seen mention of an ammo box as an unlock, is there any info on how this works compared to the indiviual packs I'm able to sling about at the moment? Does it work more like the ammo boxes in bf3?

The initial ammo 'bags' just resupply 1 clip of ammo, so most players will need 4-5 to resupply fully or more depending on pistol ammo etc...

The bags do not resupply explosive ammo (RPG, nades etc..)

You need the ammo box to provide that ammo.
 
Been encountering hackers every few games now...

This guy was literally one shotting everybody.
Basically all you could see is the who killed who on the side with his name vs everyone.

Before he joined there was 2 guys with a wallhack but no aimbot but still.

5 games in a row now ive run into the same thing.

Hope there cheat detection is better in the final game.

There was 6 of us coming up behind him at one point
He turned around and all of us died at the same time he was using a pistol.

Was wondering about the cheating - last game I played I spawned 3-4 times at one point and instantly died from a single long range shot as I spawned - very few people in the world have that kind of reaction capability. First time I've run into any obvious aim botting though - noticed a few wallhackers but it doesn't really give them much advantage in normal mode.
 
If previous history is anything to go by there'll be silent logging. They'll detect some of the cheats, log which account is using them and possibly wait until launch to see if they still use them, then swing the ban hammer (hopefully).

Cheat detection is always reactionary, so there has to be hackers before they can detect the hacks, just like anti-virus software, but as we all know, nothing's perfect and we won't be able to eradicate them all.
 
Yeah but pb and others are fairly useless tbh. Can't remember his name, but one of the guys at pb called cheats over a certain player in private chat to an admin from my old clan 247. There was never anything dodgy about the players stats or gameplay. Sure did cause one hell of a fuss too.

However this time DICE are also using "Fairfight" which will be far better, I believe it essentially integrates the cheatometer style stats checking and will be insta banning people with impossible stats. Ofc I am sure some dodgy ***** will work their way around it.

funny thing is stoned what half of people don't know there is very easy ways of finding out who cheats takes about 30 secs. ;) any games. (nothing to do with pb)


do you honestly think people at dice cant see who cheats ? ;) they make the game they do know !

if you think someone is really dodgy pass us a name ill see what i can sort out :)

Stat analysis is a very poor way to detect cheats there are very few combinations of impossible stats that can't be explained legit i.e. people boosting with extra accounts to get insane accuracy on their main character etc. (At best you can flag someone as suspicious you can't use it as a reliable metric to ban).

Cheat detection is not that simple. I could code myself a private hack and pretty much guarantee until I shared it with other people no one would be able to detect it. (Prior to punkbuster I was involved with the development of one of the main anti-cheating tools used in Quake 3 Arena competitive leagues).

Did it not say in the beta faq they're using both to see which fares better then selecting one for the retail version?
 
Annoyed tonight, shots not registering e.t.c

What's worse it's rubber banding really badly, think I'll go back to skyrim :(
