3 exams down. A single week until my freedom is restored - at this rate I think everyone wil have quit BF4 before I even finish :(
 
CTE Patch 3 rolling out now.

PATCH DAY
Today we will patch both server and client on the CTE for the third time! This will mean some server downtime. You will also have to update your CTE client in Origin to join servers once they are up again.



PATCH CONTENTS
This patch includes:

Changed the FrameHistoryTime from 1.5s to 1.0s
This value is used in determining how much “slack” the server allows a client with packetloss to have. With this number lowered a bit to match the 30hz server send frequency – we should see even less deaths behind cover.
Deathshield fix
The Deathshield fix was not part of the CTE environment yet – now it is.
Obliteration Competitive mode
Added support for the Obliteration small competitive mode (servers coming)
Operation Metro 2014 exploit fix
PC-Client stability improvement
High Altitude Jet fix
A fix for the much reported jet altitude bug is in this patch (server side fix) as well.

WHAT ARE WE TESTING?
Making sure the new FrameHistoryTime value works as indended and doesn’t affect the game in a negative way and improves the engagements even further. We also need to confirm that the Deathshield problem is gone (ragdolls stop grenades and other projectiles from reaching their target).

How you finding the CTE? For me it's pretty random, but it is less worse than the vanilla game. Note I said "less worse" not better. :p
 
Omg you cant post that here. :D

Really good imo. But tbh I didn't have a lot of issues with the base game, dodgy netcode issues aside.... Which have all but gone now.

Jet ceiling fix is live. Huzzah.


I did read that the new server rate and fixes are going live on the base game 'soon' for those interested.

for attack jets

:D :p

Now time to try and over take westie :p, going to take quite a while though :(


Played the cte tonight, infantry and netcode play is def. better! Tried jets too but was on a USA server so laggy thus too hard to tell!

Just sucks that I don't have any decent guns and/or unlocks/attachements now.....

I firmly believe everyone should be informed. :D
Even though I pay no attention to NDAs I thought video footages weren't allowed but you could talk about changes.
I'll try the new patch tomorrow.

it wont take long.. ive uninstalled BF4 origin and BF3... not buying another EA game again!
 
Bf3 is good for infantry, no use whatsoever for conquest. Chopper whore's paradise, no effective anti air weapons in the game whatsoever. They had it good for too long, hence non play bf4 now as it's a bit better balanced vehicle wise. Shame the reg is an abomination in bf4.
 
Wouldnt matter mate, the vehicle balance in bf games is so bad. 4 rpg rounds minimum to take out an apc, no good. Stingers, a waste of an equipment slot, fire one and the chopper pilot lets off flares, his flares reload quicker than your stinger. Meanwhile your standing exposed to anyone lying prone with a bolt action sniper rifle upto 2000 yards away. Your there for the taking even at that range.

When i go onto bf3 now, i only play tdm as it's the only balanced version of the game. Bf4 i play for a lark now and again, so bad connection wise. Game favours players with good connections far too much, if your a high pinger, you will suffer an awful lot. The ol shoot first, die first thing.
 
GG's last night, actually enjoyed playing the game again, seems the mini break has done me good.

So if these CTE patches are so good, when are DICE going to let us non CTE users have them.
