At one point earlier on Dawnbreaker it appeared that you were having a bad lag spike as I was watching your character rubber banding in front of me. (I meantioned it in chat after I killed you... lol)

Ah really? That must have literally been when I was in the middle of crashing... :(

It's frustrating because the game can be great fun when it works and I can actually complete a round, but the crashes are souring the whole experience for me to the point where I get home and I literally cannot be arsed to load the game up.
 
seem to be getting the packet loss icon up lots the past few days, even when my ping is fine (20-30ish)

any solutions or is this just another great feature I should learn to love?
 
Mine only sound loop crashes on Metro 2014 - every other map is solid for me. I tried a few tricks such as enabling Vsync and setting soundcard to 44,000 khz but no joy. I get the crash within 10 seconds of map loading, whether i spawn or not...
 
Just had a couple of rounds of Metro... So many low skill players spamming their shotguns. Remembered now why I haven't been in a hurry to play it these past couple of months.
 
and I hear you have the what, m32 6 round grenade launcher and a usas-12 with frags as pick up weapons in the new metro.... oh joy xD

non-premium is where it's at ;) haven't got any of these new issues ;) haha!

take your finger off the trigger, dot support EA/Dice basically taking a dump on us. Why give them more money for a broken product that still hasnt been finished months after release. Your just basically saying yes its fine for all game devs to sell a product 50% finished and in future and we the gamers are more than happy to spend money on products that will never work right

What worries me is that DICE's Star Wars is going to be the same, broken and unfinished because EA will pressure them to release it early, because they are too greedy for their own good :(

lol they needed grumpy cat on that website!!! xD nope.jpg

I'm still hunting premium down. I'd rather not though, but I love gulf of oman :( <3 that map...and being the only one (maybe 3) on my battlelog to not have premium and able to play with others makes me sad panda :(

They have ruined it mate.

Russian jets cannot take off, 9/10 they stay on the airfield and crash into the rocks at the end.

Russian spawn can be raped, yet US cannot.

Sandstorm triggers 700 tickets into an 800 ticket round - can't see anything unless you use FLIR which means you can't see anything that isn't 50 meters infront of you.

Sadly those are the least of the problems with the game :S I've not played the map yet but apparently pulling hard right (at the right moment) can get you off the ground without clipping the ridge of rocks at the end of the airfield.

Yeah, I just wish the sheeple would boycott anything with EAs name on it. They are the worst thing in gaming IMO, horrendous company they really are. They **** everything up when they get onboard, they have a history of doing such things.
 
I was on with the boys last night, it was terrible. Landed my attack jet onto the wires, but some troll blew it up before we could get a screenshot.

Then my packet loss icon was lit up like a christmas tree, never went off in every round. I was hitting helis with sabot rounds and not getting the X marker or hurting them, sidewinder90 killed me outside the MAA when on my screen I was inside the MAA looking round in the turret, ended up with 4 kills and 28 deaths repeatedly :/ Those kills were all M2 SLAMS... just no hitreg at all.

Dunno if theres actually anything to it but theres a thread on another forum about the crashing issues and the only people who haven't so far reported having the issue in any number are those on i7s with 4 core / 8 threads and those with 8 execution unit AMD CPUs (those who have setups with those CPUs only report having the old deploy on vehicle crash). i5s especially seem to be where a large number of the reports come from but not sure if theres anything to it.

This is the only positive thing I can say. I am running my i5 2500k at 4.6ghz (because with central heating on it gets too hot in my room) and I have not had a BF4 crash in about 3 weeks. Everyone is saying it keeps crashing, well it doesn't for me. But then the crash mid game then finish 30 kills whereas I don't crash but get sucky hitreg and get 5 kills.

I don't understand my hitreg- I consistently have a ping of around 10, the lowest of the OCUK TS guys, yet the worst hitreg!
 
My game doesnt crash either TBL, maybe get a BF4.exe stopped working once every few weeks but its not what I call a problem. The things I dislike in this game are the smaller issues and game mechanics..some of the design choices baffle me. And the thing that bugs me the most is the obvious lack of attention and care by Dice/EA to test each patch and thoroughly fault find/diagnose before, during and after each introduction of a patch. I mean its so blatantly obvious they are not even caring about the gamer, there is no way in hell they would miss the obvious sound loops, loss of sound in TDM if they test which im sure they kinda do. To me it just feels like they don't care about a attaining a perfect product anymore now they have our wedge.

Do a full / clean uninstall and install of bf4. Going by what you were saying last night there's something strange going on to be giving you the issues you're having.
 
Good round of capture the flag on Oman there. Sandstorm was on for ages so made for some good close combat fights as the snipers and vehicles weren't as effective from range.

In my experience people with lower ping tend to suffer the worst hit reg its due to the netcode compensating for other peoples lag, thus you will notice it most as you have no/ little lag.

Apparently the netcode is geared up best to people with 100 ish ping, try a server very far away and see how it does.
 
Played last night and the games were quite close so not to bad.

Had a quick go on a TDM server and tried using shotguns (very very rarely bother with them). They really annoy some people don't they ! It was a German server but I am fairly certain they weren't complements :D
