Battlefield 4 Thread ~ Server details in opening post ~

Since the patch i've had a fair few more problems. Mainly in campaign, I will be playing all dandy, then it will freeze. i can see the GPU usage drop for both my GPUS to 0. If i tab out i can control all my other windows ok, just not the battlefield window, then after a few mins, it will pop back again unfrozen.

I also have issues online, in game it is fine, just sometimes in the move from the end of one game to loading up the next BF4 will just close.

I've tried some of the misc fixes i've seen around, so i assume my settings are "all dandy" but it may just be a software thing, not too sure. None of it is game breaking, just a tad annoying.
 
If you can pull off zuni+main cannon twice then it should take out a MBT. i think it does ~45 damage if all 8 missiles hit. There is no rear bonus afaik.

There may be no rear bonus for the zunis but there is for the 25mm cannon.

I've noticed the zunis are helpful at getting rid of cover as well. The main gun seems to be quite good at taking out concrete cover but seems useless against wood, while the zunis are the opposite, so switching between the two you can normally expose and flatten an engineer stalking you quickly.

Restart the level, it fixed mine.
+1'ing this, the first level with the aircraft carrier as the main subject would repeatedly crash on me and this was the only fix.

I resent having to do the last level 3 times DICE if you're reading this. That's not cool.

Indeed. I did it 3 times, all 3 achievements registered but (I think) only one of the weapon unlocks. Guess which I was more interested in?
 
every Battlefield game is buggy at launch and it always takes them a few patches to sort it out.

We had this discussion on BF3 launch, and even then people were pointing out how they asked for the 1.02 patch for BF2 to be un-installed it made things so much worse than 1.01.

If you want the game, just buy it. It won't be like this forever.

I have wondered this. Are we too picky now? Have we been tainted by other recent disasters?

I remember BC2 having login issues on launch. I can't remember BF3 being so buggy but then it may have been.

Crashes are rare for me now.
 
bc2 was as bad
bf3 was as bad
bf4 is bad

:D

now.. ido like the games but is it EA who really make this like a mess up every time or are DICE just doing this?
 
BC 2 and BF 3 were nowhere as bad as bf 4 for me. It may have had more bugs/glitches than bf 4 and the same old netcode issues but at least I could play games without crashing every 1-2 rounds, map changing etc. :p
 
As for helis and engi. repairing constantly, what needs to be done imo:

- repair tool nerfed, same way as defib, limited + take a few seconds to charge it/turn on or whatever the right term is :p
- can't repair the helis whilst flying, only way to repair is to land and get out, just like you have to do with every other vehicle



Pffffffffft to the SRAW for taking helis out, just use RPG + tank shell (HE shell) :p Shot sooooo many down the other night, thankfully the helis I shoot always seem to have some damage done to them as it is an instant kill/destroy with 1 shot. The HE shell sends the heli out of control completely anyway so even if they still have some health left, good luck to them regaining control especially if the map isn't spacious i.e. on dawnbreaker, siege etc. :p

I still hate the whole vehicle damage system, bc 2 was much better, simple and it "just works"
 
loved bfbc2 it did have issues with hitreg though and rubber banding just not as bad as bf3 or bf4.

bf4 has not been that bad hitreg wise for me upto yet. its the game shut downs or crashes on explosions and the like which is annoying. especially when you know the bugs are common and easy to reproduce and not random.
 
Anyone know what causes the picture/screen etc to kinda fade in and out like a heartbeat or a breath.. i dunno how to explain it tbh, i have motion blur off.. but when i run or seem tot ake shots but not get hit its like the picture zooms in n out but doesnt.. lol hard to explain... kinda changes color/contrast then back to normal.

It's EA/DICES new addition to give the impression of an EMP pulse via the commanders tool. It's awful but the good news is, it does look like it might be removed or an option to be turned off in another patch

True, this should be as it is!

Can you imagine in the Iraq War every vehicle would have an engineer attached, who needs ecm jammers or stealth when a blow torch does the job in mid flight!

ah thank god.. the amount of time it screws up my concentration when trying to kill people is starting to grind on me. really irritating.
