OMG BF4 Woes

If I turn on Vsync for some reason I haven't fathomed I go from a smooth 100fps to a stuttering janky 30-40 fps.

Can't get my head around it.
 
From what I have been reading, from the research I did because of my won problem, there are countless problems for this game. I know some forum posts you will only see negative or problem posts, but there are tons of problmes for the game varying from hardware problmes, to driver problems to server problmes, it has the appearance of a rushed game.

But I have to say the game I experienced before my probl,mes was sorted to game play when sorted is like 2 different games. I think its an amazing game and the experience I have thus far has been very good. with any new game comes problems I just hope they can sort them out pretty quick for others.
 
i think mine is ok - can play story mode fine not a problem

plays smooth as butter for me....except
i am getting loads of lag (hope its internet lag) running on the spot, i move then it puts me back to where i was etc
now will prob get shouted at, but i am playing over wireless to my BT Hub4 (infinity) do i really need to be connected via lan?
 
mine crashes now n again and my fps is all over the place on certain maps like the flood map on the roof tops. Even if I drop the res and detail it's still choppy at times.

If im away from these areas it runs smooth on Ultra etc
 
mine was running like a dogs dinner.... then i realised i had it set to the settings i used for 290x before it died on my 6950 in eyefinity.... damnit need new card

Being connected by lan will give you the best chance of a smooth gaming experience, if running a long cable isn't an option maybe something like these would work;

I use homeplugs, router is in living room and PC is in loft and they work fine, get full speed of my fibre connection through them :)

To the op, glad you got it sorted and your right BF4 is a bit of a buggy mess at the minute but when it works it's beautiful :D

do they actually work though?
cant believe it uses the internal electrical wiring in the house for it to work...

i know they may do a job, otherwise no one would buy them but are they actually that good?

might just run an all weather cat5 cable outside my house into the kitchen and use that...
 
Yeah they work, how good they work will depend on the quality of your electrical wiring and both units being on the same mains ring. If you can run a long cable then that would be the better solution.
 
Homeplug standard powerline networking adapters are great, been using them for years, think about it in the ye oldie days we used to run 10Mbit over coaxial cable, it was phased out as twisted pair was cheaper, we went to running 10Mbit then 100Mbit over Cat5 and today we can run 1Gbit and 10Gbit over Cat5 (Cat6 is better for long runs ofc). If for some reason the industry went back to coaxial it would move a damn sight more than 10Mbit, hence why you can get such great performance from household wiring (which is much better than the telephone wiring delivering high speed broadband).
 
Wifi has surpassed homeplugs in my opinion. 300mb/s dual band wireless n gives me about twice the speed of my old 500mb/s homeplugs. And now we have the 802.11ac standard which will be even faster!
 
Worth mentioning that wifi 300mb/s doesn't match wired 300mb/s as it includes all the data transmitted in that figure even though it's not user data, but instead acknowledgement messages etc. (Same is true of wired speeds but the proportion of traffic that isn't user data on wired is much, much lower)

No idea about homeplugs, never used them.
