Hey guys, came back from holiday and my BF4 seems to be crashing. Symptoms:

  • Join a game, it loads playing the introduction music, however as soon as you would expect to see spawn points etc I get either CTD or black screen with underscore flashing
  • I get this on either Campaign, Multiplyer or Test

Stuff I've tried:

  • Removed all my settings in documents folder
  • Complete redownload and reinstall of BF4
  • Reinstalled Punkbuster, checked that I have latest definitions
  • Disabled afterburner
  • Reinstalled Direct X

Would appreciate any advice. Game has been almost bug free for me but I guess that was only a matter of time.

Check here, we all had the issue I believe, This workaround works.
 

I see some OcUK people on my mates YT video. Giving him grief. :D

I saw Majnu, Josh, Nexus, TonyTurbo, MessiahComplex, Sidewinder, gord, CK61938 on there.

Had a cracking few rounds on the CQ247 server last night... Was healing my squad all over the place! Pity they've completely nerfed the scoring on revives :(

Any of you guys called LOGICC?

Edit: Played Obliteration for the first time last night too.. don't know what to make of it.
 
Anti that was a hard game, those TNGC guys were good, put up a great fight, at times we were raging on comms!

Nice to see myself on YT that isn't one of my videos!

Wow much rage from them! ACE faggots, OcUK faggots lol - we were saying the same!

We also had some others with us in that round - Brightmist and Rotten Nacros & Colesy1.

LOL Nexus getting more haxusations...same old same old!

They have some sweetfx configs out which look like they do.

sweetfx does a very tasty job of this and sharpening up the image too ;)

Sweetfx helps but it doesn't completely solve the blue/dull filter, this is what BF 3 looked like without the filter:

haha :D

They were proper raging at the ace's and nice to "hear" some hackusations :p

Although have to laugh, that guy is using an even more OP weapon imo (m249)

btw tell him not to strafe so much when firing LMG's, accuracy goes down the drain big time when doing that with LMG's and if he isn't already, equip the ergo/vertical grip + laser sight, will help a lot with that "play style" plus give decent enough hipfire.

Oh and MG 4 better than m249, less side to side recoil and just a bit more vertical recoil.

But yeah it was a good game that, not too keen on that map as everyone just goes around in circles.

Ask him to upload the dawnbreaker round ;)


And yup was just a kick thankfully!

Thankyou Sir.
 
Just reading the YT comments now and yup that is exactly why I don't play infantry anywhere as much in this game, the netcode is far too **** for it:

- shoot people, hits don't reg. where as they turn around and insta kill you with a pistol
- too many invisible walls/textures
- insta deaths, zero time to react, lvlcap uploaded a good bit of footage the other week, he died before the guy had even shot his gun (at least that is how it appeared on his screen)....

So yeah until DICE properly fix the netcode, I won't be playing infantry as much, only maps I do that on now is locker, guilean, metro, caspian, flood zone and sometimes zavod + siege + dawnbreaker. Shame as I much prefer infantry play, it was all I played as in BC 2 and BF 3.
 
Couldn't agree more...
BF3 = perfectly balanced between realism and arcade, natural difficulty created by the weapons and physics which separates the good players from the bad. BF4 = Full on arcade pew pew game for children. Battlefield 3 is next gen compared to BF4. The older players know exactly what's up. BF4 is riding on the success of BF3 but the two games are worlds apart and nothing alike. People always assume that the "new" game is more advanced but in this case everyone is downgrading to basically a mid 2000's gaming style. I'll stick with the "superior" version in BF3 and pray that DICE/EA dump this arcade trash and do it right for BF5. Pushing the limits of realism is more possible then ever and they have decided to go after the whole kindergarden class instead. In summery BF4 is a childs toy

everybody said the same about BF3 when comparing it to BF2.

People always have rose tinted spectacles when it comes to previous games. BF4 is no more aracade than BF3.

BF4s problems lie with the fact the game has gotten out of control, with so many bugs live that they don't know which ones to fix first. Doesn't seem to help either that the developers working on it don't seem to fully understand or have the time to develop proper fixes so the game is still full of bugs 5 months after release.

All of which can be summed up in one clause:

You cannot rely on the information being displayed on your client, as the server is seeing something completely different and not sending it to you. I uploaded a video the other day of me going from 100 % health not taking damage to dead in a single frame. This was because I wasn't being shown the person firing and only got the information from the server that I'd died, and none of the information that he was shooting at me and giving me damage.

*edit* here it is

Caught this on the Xbox PVR the other day. Nice bit of insta death. Watch it back in slow motion and you can see I go from 100 % health, not taking any damage to dead in a single frame.

bam.... 3 pretty damn inf heavy maps right there xD this is why i prefer the bigger maps...don't notice the **** coding as much :p
 
GG's again!

Still amused by how many people all dropped out at the same time at the end of rogue! :D


Locker is a map that annoys me so much, the way the majority of the team just stay inside/around c and don't watch outside or try to go for the last flag or two via outside way is damn annoying, couldn't believe we won that match earlier, should have lost, nearly did since they got A, B, C and E....


Wish more people would spot when in I am in jets as well!!! :p Can't see anything without it :(

Lol, I managed to give out some good DAO-12 loving in Locker.
At one point I got the jump on your team and emptied the magazines, of the weapons I had. Think I killed 9 or more before I got taken down.

Re: the BF4 vs BF3 thing. BF3 is far more arcadey than BF4. The pace in BF4 was slowed down to make it less arcadey, it just so happens that with terrible net code, the 1 hit kill bug, and the amount of explosives to be constantly spammed it currently feels like an arcade spam fest.

(I think balance wise I'd say BF:BC2 ws better than BF3)

:( Damn, don't think I was in that game. I take it back I joined towards the end. For some reason I do actually like that CR map. When played as a team it can be good fun, we need to play it more often.

Yeah that DAO was ****ing annoying! Had a few others on your team using it as well.

SO OP!!!

Still need to unlock it, haven't played second assault maps much since some tight ******* hasn't got premium ;) :p

I notice the invisible walls/textures on every single map and in a lot of areas :( More noticeable with vehicles.

I quite liked floodzone for infantry play, just a shame so many camp on the roofs around b/c flags...

You can rake in soooo many kills just by keeping the LAV on the highway but sooooo boring playing that way.

Little bird is great fun too but only when you don't have 5+ stinger/igla locking on as soon as you get anywhere near B/C

He didn't record that round. ;)

********! :p :D ;)

Dawnbreaker was a very good round and very close, found it quite tough, had to be quite aggressive with the tank around the C and B flags.
 
I tried playing with some off here last night, only managed one and a bit rounds tho, I just had no aim at all. Maybe I'll try again this evening.
