I've done a lot of searching through countless threads and something really stood out, almost all the people that are having GREAT performance in Battlefield 4 are using Windows 8. Those that are suffering ( not all, but a lot ) are using Windows 7!

I'm on Windows 8

Not had any problems at all.

So now I have to buy win 8 too

, this is becoming an expensive game :eek:

Running fine for me on Ultra with Windows 7, an i52500k @ 4.5 and 7950. Looks a bit soft round the edges though, not as sharp as BF3.

Where has the Battlelog live scoreboard gone on the server browser? Cant seem to see it? I don't like joining games which are a landslide or nearly done.

Also, why is the one thing that no one cares about the biggest on the Soldier tab, Skill.

Hmm, not quite sure what's going on, installed the beta drivers as I'd read they gave better performance, but I've had every single game crash while using them

it's lies!

Also, I notice my GPU usage is bounding between 85% and 91%, presumably suggesting I'm CPU limited.

What FOV are people using, I just cant make my mind up...

Does a higher FOV decrease FPS?

Neil79 · 2 Oct 2013 at 20:14

Average Frame rate - 15-20fps
Lowest Frame Rate - 5fps
Highest Frame Rate - 60fps+

Mine was playing ok now I'm getting an all red screen and a restart... ?

Gixer · 2 Oct 2013 at 20:21

Have they sorted the key binding issue out some of us are getting yet? If so what is the fix?

atpbx · 2 Oct 2013 at 20:36

I had a ten minute bash on this yesterday.

My problem is, one I'm not very good at online shooters and never have been, two, I'm getting on a bit so it takes me longer to get up to speed with everything.

Saying that, it's performing ok, no lag, no tearing, and it looks great.

MOOGLEYS · 2 Oct 2013 at 20:39

I think it looks horrid ? Bland and feature less. Hopefully the full game will look better.

Is this beta open to public now?

Yes.

Has anyone sussed how to either select or toggle the medkit using a keypress such that it appears in your hand ready to deploy with a mouse press (and goes away again if on toggle)? I can only select the medkit by mousewheel scrolling, my Select/Toggle gadget keybind does not work with medkits. Works fine with tube and defrib though.

I am surprised that gameplay has changed quite a lot from BF3. Feels more like cod

I am not enjoying it atm

kola · 2 Oct 2013 at 21:17

is it true that BF4 has no recoil or very little compared to bf3 ? im such a noob I might actual prefer this lol ?

Blue filter hate

I personally prefer the blue/darker look. Seemed more moody; more 'war' like.

gun balancing is all over the place.

gun with attachments like ak-12 no recoil.

unlock scar-h with no attachments and there's recoil.

cant win gunfight then though against ak-12

same goes for LMG's

what war has a blue filter??

What?

I think the added filter made it more dramatic/dark. I didn't say it replicated a real war scene better.

I thought the non-filtered version looked too 'bright'.
