Fix for BF4 Stuttering

Apparently..

The problem it seems is actually caused by packet loss / jamming, the server is sending huge amounts of data to your PC when ever there is a lot of action going on and for some people it can cause a slowdown of sorts while it waits for those packs to be received and / or processed.

It happens to me on Locker when i'm in the middle of a really intense battle hot-spot.

This Youtube explains how it can be fixed with SG TCP Optimiser
Full support for Win 7, partial for win 8, none for Win 8.1.

I have not tried this as i do run Win 8.1 and its not compatible.

Don't mess about with TCP settings, unless you know your taking risks of something going wrong

If anyone knows of a similar app compatible for Win 8.1 please let me know, i want to give this a try. thanks.

Mantle has fixed all of my stuttering issues and FPS drops. DX in comparison is just unplayable for me.

Yeah, its a million times better than DX, that goes without saying but i still get those spiky CPU slowdowns in Locker when things get really battle hot.

Dunno Rusty, like Nexus Mantle has been absolutely solid for me.

Havent tried this optimizer thingy, but merely closing battleslug leads to a better experience. Just went 16/8 on a paracel tdm round, (joined with a few mins left). The vid in the op shows spiking identical to what i get. Will try later with perfoverlay running, (deleted my user cfg the other day). Also trying to play this again on my old g15 keyboard is a joke, miss my mech board.

What was wrong with the G15? i have a G110.

I had the g15 for years mate, then bought an ozone strike pro red switch mechanical board. Much more responsive for gaming and much nicer to use. Sadly it has a fault where it will randomly disconnect.

Tried this tcp optimizer, helped a bit as i got less cpu spiking, even closing bl worked a bit too. Not CTE level of smoothness but still better, (win7 64 btw). Im getting another gtx 780 tomorrow, so that will help a good deal with min fps.

Thanks for the feedback on both, shame TCP-OP is not win 8.1 compatible.
