How'd the test of Discord go?

Didn't get round to it in the end, my internet has been pony.

Seems good though, pretty much like TS, the permissions etc seem to be easier, just need to figure out how to get people onto the server etc.

All I have figured out so far is that you need to dll the program and get it installed, register and verify your email and then you can create your own server and go from there.

All free.
 
Same as TS you join the server, move yourself into the channel you want or remain in the "text chat only" aka Nexus chat rooms.

Seems to be pretty decent, it has a lower footprint than TS and less usage.

What is the refresh rate of the monitor?

Does it though? Have you benchmarked the game? Check this tool out.

What settings are you running? What hardware are you running?

Refresh rate is only 60z, but I get no such stuttering with other games.

I have benchmarked, and according to the tool you suggested, and Afterburner it is saying that lowest it dropped was 84 FPS.

I know my monitor cannot display more than 60FPS, the issue is that v sync introduces input lag so I want to play without v sync, but then it stutters a bit.

I have Settings mostly maxed on single 1080p display 60Hz.

Out of interest can you run everything on low/off except mesh on ultra and tell me if you get the same issue? Also are you confusing stuttering with tearing? Also what is your CPU and GPU utilization? Only time I have ever got stuttering is when the game is reading to disk because I have run out of memory. The only exception to that was when I was running ShadowPlay with my 780.

No it's definitely not tearing.

I haven't run out of memory, but my cpu utilisation is around 90% and 95-98% for GPU. Unsure why CPU utilisation would be so high. It's much higher than what my friend gets on his 4790k stock speeds.

Just a thought, this is a silly question, but BF4 is my only game on my mechanical HDD, all my others are on my SSD. Could reading from the slower HHD be the cause of this? Or not?

Ok chaps - Discord is the shizzle!

Think I may end the TS server and use this for a while.

It's working well and is very clever.

There's something wrong if Battlefield 4 is using up 90% of your cpu, I get mid 20's on current cpu, can't remember what my i7 4770K got, think it was around 40%.

A ssd will also help, ssd's are the reason why Dice put the deploy timer in at the start of the round on BF4 multiplayer to stop the people on hdd from getting left behind whilst everyone on ssd's took all the good vehicles :D ;)
 
Right chaps,

Me, Chippy & Jonny have been sorting Discord out, and it's very good. Much easier and better than TS. I'm going to leave the TS3 Server up and running to give people a chance to use Discord.

Basically go here and download it, then connect to this.

You can either connect via the via app or via your server browser.

Any problems I will be online this evening for some BF4 and I'll sort you out.

Chippy(Flash) has server admin rights so he can also help sort things out.

We'll give it a trail run for a couple of weeks to test the quality on a heavily populated server night and see what people opinions are as to if we keep using it or not. If we decided it's a go-er I will end the subscription for TS3.
