Ill try a lower fov then mate. Game seems quite different from bf3 in regards to your fov choice.

Has anyone seen this disco in BF4 ...

Using old drivers, mine did exactly that, their own fault

Might try 80 fov but totally agree with above. People are smaller...

I see a big server list on OP but what ones most of you play on?

Glad someone else has noticed this. I know im getting on a bit but thought surely my eyesight isnt that bad yet.

Bigger the fov the less fps.

Is any one having problems playing against high ping players? Just been on a server and about 6+ players on the opposite side were 200+ ping. It was pot luck if you hit them or not?

Never mind 200 ping I find it pot luck trying to hit someone with 60-70ms ping if I have my normal ~12ms ping. I noticed even though it feels more laggy when the server has a moment and everyones pings jump to 100-200ms when everyones pings are about equal the game actually becomes far more consistant for hit reg

Thanks.

I get this but worse sometimes.

Are the latest game ready drivers the ones to use now?

Dropped fov to 75, makes things so much better.

Gonna give that a whirl (using 90 now) but I find it cramped enough as it is in close quarters stuff :S

85 was my preferred setting in bf3, but in this it looked totally different.

90 is about right for 1080p. Tried 120 lol and had a sort of fisheye lens effect, too little (70) and I get tunnle vision effect

Be careful of setting your FOV too high... It messes with your sens and ADS.

1920x1200 here, (yep theres still a few of us left).

 

[stooeh]

95 FOV for me, I used 130 I think back in the Q3 days. Screenshots look proper fish eyed!

At release I had no probs running it on ultra, but after a session yesterday was getting much lower fps and had to drop to high. Any ideas why this might be?

 

[Rroff]

Hmm fov 75 makes finding targets in undergrowth muuuuuch easier not exactly suprising but in most games I can manage the same with 90 but not in BF4 for some reason, good call on turning that down especially as its more fluid in transition with ADS.

Whats your system spec? A few users have reported gradually increasing memory usage the longer they play, also increased cpu usage. Theres supposed to be a memory leak issue.

Im also finding ADS more responsive now. First round with lower fov i managed a 5 kill streak, few at close range but a few more at longer ranges. Targets did appear that much larger. Saw a vid on yt, think it was by rivalxfactor who reccomended a lower fov for bf4 than what you would have used in 3.
