About time, that tank LMG was useless, it should be like an M249 on a bipod

Better than HMG? Guess it's better at range.

I will be keeping to my HMG, sooooo satisfying sniping infantry across the map (literally) with 2-3 headshots, especially the pesky engineers who head glitch and camp the roofs like pros!

Also, the HMG is handy for finishing of a heli.

Been using the network graph and its amazing to see the variation I'm getting between client and server.

Cheers.

Going to have a mess with the settings tonight, never bothered last night. :confused:

Could be interesting, knowing me I'll make the enemies invisible or something daft like that

You could copy my settings above and go from there

Can anyone help me understand the following please -

I fitted a 970 and I'm running everything on Ultra with 2 x MSAA @ 1080

It ran like a dog at first but by coincidence the patch defaulted the FOV back to 50 so I upped it to 90 and now it runs super smooth, I noticed my FPS goes above 120 quite often and I have a 120hz monitor

based on that, 2 questions -

Why does the FOV being increased make the game run smoother, if I would have guessed on any effect at all I would have thought it would have made it less smooth as its displaying more?

Why when my FPS goes above 120 why do I not experience any negative stuff like screen tearing seeing as though my monitor is 120hz?

Thanks

Lol

U dont ever gain any negative effects if u have more fps then hz.

Anyone else noticed their wireless 360 pads aren't working?

I only use them for vehicles and it was working perfect before the patch. Suggestions?

JGStonedRaider · 2 Oct 2014 at 22:47

delete pls, wrong thread

trentlad · 2 Oct 2014 at 22:53

Oh trust me, I do, but I like to use the PC for all its features and regularly switch video feed to my plasma so I can fly from the living room.

Tried these so far:
- restarting windows (7 Pro 64bit)
- uninstalling drivers
- trying without any drivers
- downloading and installing latest drivers
- powering on controller before launching the game

Please don't tell me this has intentionally been removed

V_R · 2 Oct 2014 at 22:57

I was only being sarcastic, sorry.

Is it working in other games?

Theres some controller options in bf4 isn't there? Checked them?

Why is it Lol?

And then what is the point in VSYNC?

trentlad · 2 Oct 2014 at 23:22

It works perfectly with everything else.

I don't think there's an 'enable controller' button in BF4, at least not that I could see unless that's what they added... the key bindings are mapped when I check vehicle controls.

All was fine before the patch.
