Battlefield 4 Thread ~ Server details in opening post ~

Reminds me of BF3 last week with JG, we were all over them at their spawn, like our whole team yet the madmin was only kicking people who shot him :rolleyes:

Anyone fancy a game?

jumped on your server but there's no team balance ? was heavily one-sided.

Played the first two episodes of the campaign there, actually very well done. Everythign ultra and ran smooth as anything with my 7950..

Yup, team balance is still as broken as ever, probably even worse (due to commander mode, squad perks etc.)

And the team balance is utterly broken, most matches, the team whoever is getting raped will rage quit and then we be left with the other team having 5-6 players more......

And the even more annoying thing is I am always on the side that gets raped

IMO it is utterly pointless playing the game when that happens, what is the point? ZZZZZZZZZZ.........

Finished the campaign. Got a good feel for Battlefield again. See you in the MP

Were you playing on 64 man servers? I might try a few 32 player servers later to see if I have the same issues as I've been getting.

I'm also going to go back to playing Siege Of Shanghai as I actually think it's a fair and well designed map. I've definitely had my most enjoyable BF4 gaming experiences on there.

Also good to see EA/DICE posting photos on Twitter patting themselves on the back and supping champagne.

Played 32 player domination last night.

Played 64 player conquest the other night and it ran just as good.

Late at night seems to be the best time for me, probably less players on thus less server stress.

can someone please try to map numerical pad 3 as I'm at work and want to know if its a problem with the game as its not the keyboard please?

Does it work if you bind it to any other key? I had a weird issue with the beta and my chosen key for medkits, which I had on gadget 2. My keybind for gadget 2 did nothing if I pressed it, I had to map "select underslung weapon" keybind to the same key as gadget 2 and then it issued medkits correctly. Completely nonsensical but could be a similar issue. For info my gadget 2 key was "c". I haven't unlocked the game yet to see if this issue has been fixed in the final game.

My free trial of cactus VPN has expired, any one got another simple alternative?

Flyvpn and that other one linked via reddit just give me error codes all the time.

Two things:

Numpad 3 - I know this is a silly thing to say, but have you tried with NumLock both on and off?

Crashes - Those experiencing a crash and then losing unlocks from that round - that suggests to me it's a server side crash, right? I seem to recall in BF3 if you crashed out/left early on a ranked server, you still got the unlocks/points once the round finished and the server uploaded to battlenet, right? Has anyone had a crash-lost-my-upgrades, logged back in and seen the round still in progress?

Try SoftEther VPN client (google vpngate)

Using it to load Origin up via the US and then disconnect and play the game

Also its free

EDIT: Beaten lol

I had a cracking game last night Nexus but it was with someone on teamspeak. I think this game is still more team oriented. I just had a quick game a few mins ago where I was following around my squad leader taking points so it's an improvement.

Regarding Reg, I've found it's much better today, well either that or its 32 man servers - So I'm assuming it's a server issue.

I've used it daily before booting Origin up without fail, you might need to change the method for connection as iirc there's two options and i used the bottom one. Sorry can't recall specifics but it's the best free VPN I've used so far. GL

Ah ok, will try that other method and see, thanks

Solved my gfx glitching issue. I have an HD7950 boost and it was the stupid boost thing causing the glitching. I haven't flashed the bios on it but setting the voltage increase to 20% in CCC has solved the issue as that stops it boosting and leaves it at the selected core and mem speeds.

well just had three games in a row very smooth good games.

hc is so easy to kill people . time to lvl snipers

Does the BF3 trick not work for you or do you not have it?

Frijj · 31 Oct 2013 at 13:10

Hm something is now stopping battlefield from loading up when I click join server.. don't get any errors just nothing happens.

It's either the new patch or the 13.8 beta drivers i just installed?
