Battlefield 4 Thread ~ Server details in opening post ~

Just installed BF4 and first thing I noticed is some graphic glitching (please see video) across the top of the dam.

Is this a BF4 problem or my graphics card ?

Tried medium setting and same problem.

Spec of system

2500K
Asus Matrix 7970 3GB Platinum
8GB Ram

Running latest Beta drivers

Its a known problem and one of a number on that map i.e. sound is b0rked.
 
Hi all again, posted yesterday regarding fps drops on a 670 an im still not really satisfied. Im playing on med with AA turned off etc at 1080 and holding 60fps with vsync. However I still keep getting large drops in frames. Im getting more confused now reading the bf4 forums as people are posting much better fps than me with 660's and 560s. After reading that forum I really dont know if its my hardware.

I'm not seeing any crashing myself btw (other than when the servers fall over) which is atleast one less negative, its actually been rock solid stable on my setup other than the mentioned times when the server dies.

However I actually want to play the game not mess around for a month plus waiting for things to be fixed that should have been fixed at engine level years ago let alone at game level.

So what's the issue then? Is it just that you can't bind some buttons?

this game causing anyone else to BSOD?

Instability on your end mate.

Our Beer Drinkers server is being moved to a new box on its own today so anyone with it in favorites may need to re-add it.

Cheers bud. Love the SAS server!
 
I redeems a premium key but can't actually see that I'm now a premium member? After I redeemed it on Origin is there anything else I need to do?

I had this the yesterday and It sorted itself out after about an hour or so. It just suddenly registered that I was premium.

It can take up to 20 Minutes to show on Origin

This is from other members having same issue who contacted support about it!

I'm running specs in sig with gfx on high. Game plays at 60 and very rarely stalls, although it has crashed a fair few times (both game and server).

So you should be able to get much better frames, in my opinion.

Thanks, thats what I thought. When the game settles down a bit im going to try and have a play around with the settings and try and find a custom that suits me.
 
How do I go about getting a refund for this game? I bought it from CDkeys.com

I have been unable to play it for 2 days now with the battlefield has stopped working crash.
 
i was getting crashes but i decided to reinstall game again and delete pb and totally reinstall that again incase something was broke somewhere played all last night not one crash . quite a few servers went down and you know instantly whhen they gunna go you see the running man :p

what some should do is wait a little and get some decent guns and gear before judging the game. i was starting to dislike it a bit but then i unlocked a few decent guns and snipers and it does make a difference.

the reg is not bad its no cod 4 :p (people can rip me all they want but that still have the best netcode to firing out of any games i played ! ) people do mock cod but that quake based engine is a gem for firing and reg and probably why its used still. true it may not be the prettiest but like now would you rather have a game that doesnt work and pretty or a great working not so pretty game ?

people crashing should update pb , sound drivers , windows updates, directx updates , check network 4.5 installs , reinstall vcredlistx64 & x86 that will help some but also remember that a lot will be server issues aswell.

I have checked every single thing you have listed and more and all it's as up to date as can be.

I can't play for more than 1 min without the crappy "battlefield has stopped working" crash. So going to do a charge back on paypal I reckon.
 
Haven't had any crashes people are talking about, just sound bug on Lancang Dam where everything cuts out except weapon noises. Thats literally ALL I have come across in my rather limited playtime that I would class as game breaking.

Is the games performance going to be improved with updates? I ask because the game looks the same as bf3 to my eyes (ok I didn't spend much time on bf3) but runs worse. I am using auto settings and it looks respectable.

Just had a game where the map changed and by the time I had got in, THREE of the four points had been capped xD. I have a 2TB seagate hard drive which bf3 is on and a ssd for windows, but I guess my ageing q6600 setup is letting me down.

I played online 1st time last night and had 3 crashes out of 4 games :) (b4.exe stop responding) Had to task manager out of the game to desktop.
On single player I had the DirectX crash only if I overclocked my GPU to the max ..was fine if not overclocked tho.. ..Game ran really nice online smooth and good fps
 
I just downloaded the punkbuster manual updater ... see if that stops it.
I reckon its something to do with the browser... I'm using internet explorer 10 and when I log into Origin up the top it tells me too update my internet browser to firefox explorer10 or google chrome ...when I already have an up to date browser This is fun!

at low and med settings not much difference to bf3 graphics wise on highest settings you get extra effects and stuff and you can see its vastly better looking than bf3. i guess it depends on what you play it on to what you notice.
