A buggy turd that was released in a barely playable state and still has issues today would be more like it.

It's a large game with lots going on, the whole game is probably made up of tens of millions of lines of code - given this scale, I think the number of bugs is pretty reasonable on the whole.
 
Well my stuttering isn't as bad now, so the tweaks to my user config must have done something, still not as smooth as I would like though.....


Kept hitting e tonight on paracel when in the jet for some reason :o :p Damn annoying, the amount of kills I missed out on!??!?!!? :mad: Only downside with red switches, keys are too sensitive :p Going to remap that to something else, probably my thumb mouse button...


Feeling pretty confident flying the jet on open smallish maps with aa now i.e. lacang, originally I would take the tank on them but not now (unless the enemy jet pilots are too good :p) Easy enough to take the AA out by either coming up behind him or when he is engaging another aircraft.

Don't get as many kills etc. but it is more fun flying jets these days.

Just wish they would fix that bug with aircraft once you are at a certain height, annoying when you got the enemy jet right in your crosshair and 10 bursts don't register.

I might actually jump on tomorrow, will see who is about later on.

Depends a bit on the nature of the bugs - many of the ones in BF4 are easily avoidable and/or should be relatively easy to fix I get the feeling a lot of them stem back to 1-2 people doing a sloppy job and other people implementing features on top of that code before they realised how broken the underlying code is.

Unfortunatly going back and undoing that damage will be a massive project - especially as a lot of features are likely ended up in a hacked up plastering over the cracks form as the people responsible for them can't necessarily fix the underlying code so have to juggle the implementation to work as best as possible.

Unfortunatly not many alternative games to play at the moment - when Black Ops 1 came out and was left in a broken buggy state for over a month after release with it taking ~19 days to even acknowledge the problems I went back to playing regular COD and swore never to buy a treyarch game again. Not even the option now as I cba with hacked lobbies, etc. trying to find active games of past CODs and ghosts feels like your playing with a controller somehow even with keyboard and mouse :|

I blame COD and their yearly release cycles. Money hungry board members putting too much pressure on development companies to turn over new games like they are making movies FFS.
 
Well im sat waiting lol

Roll on payday and i may just be getting the premium edition, i see OcUK do it for £32.99 which is the cheapest i have seen it. Do they email you the key or just post it?

You can get it for £26 ish on SimplyCD Keys.

Won't be on tonight, decided to stab myself 20 times with a load of drawing pins today at work, messy.

Going to have a bath a clean all the dried blood off. Be on tomorrow and the weekend thought.

Ouch!!

Now how did you manage to do that?

These lag spikes are really starting to **** me off. I was suffering from it constantly tonight. I have just had a few games on BF3 and everything is fine, it just started on BF4 last Friday. The in games test thingy is saying it is my internet connection but my other games are working fine and ping test is not reporting back any problems.
 
Last few days its completely come apart for me - granted spending a bit of time on those corsair servers that are laggy anyhow but also some others with similiar results.

Pretty much waste of time doing anything if I've got multiple people shooting at me - even fire button input is haphazard if it actually goes through or not, toggling attachements can be delayed 10+ seconds when a lot is going on, etc. etc.
 
All I can say is thanks for kicking me out of the [OcUK] squad to make room for some other player who isn't even [Ocuk] :rolleyes:.
Oh well.
So much for team play blah blah blah blah!!
OOOH!! SPOT ME THIS...
OHHH!! SPOT ME THAT!!
Yeah ok!!
SPOT IT YOURSELF IN FUTURE!!

LOL.........
:rolleyes:
