If you're not Irish what's with all the potatoe rage?

I'm no Oracle but my current favourite shotgun is the m1014. Seems to deal near pump action damage with semi auto fire rate. I also prefer single shell reload to magazines.

However I am slightly biased as I love the gun in mw2, bf3 etc.

Though never expect consistency with shotguns. Sometimes you'll miss a guy and he'll die instantly other times an enemies body will fill the crosshair and you'll hit with a single pellet. ADSing helps but you don't always have time.

Think I am going to start rage quitting as soon as siege of shangai comes up.... that map makes me rage so much, so many ****ing skilless roof scrubs! Give me locker, metro or flood zone any day of the week......

hey guys got bf4 + premium today!, checked origin and cd keys was cheaper.. later this afternoon origin put it on sale) ahh well

any way! its running great on high, 1080p 60fps. so i thought i would up the graphics. however every time i save the settings after increasing any graphics setting it crashes?

anyone know how to fix this, my pc can handle it for sure so bit baffled

*im on crossfire 6950s latest amd drivers

Mynight · 24 Dec 2014 at 00:34

What's the pc specs?

Latest GPU drivers?

Have you checked the event logs to see if there's a reason given for the crash?

2x 2gb 6950s in crossfire

bit of a n00b, wheres the event log?

Mynight · 24 Dec 2014 at 00:41

Should be more than enough.

http://windows.microsoft.com/en-gb/windows/what-information-event-logs-event-viewer#1TC=windows-7

Should give a error message as to why bf crashed iirc. We should be able to work out what happened from the message.

kinger8938 · 24 Dec 2014 at 00:42

Try turning AA off when you change the settings.

ok it seems i can put anything up to ultra but AA has to stay off! weird why is that then?

i dont think so, not sure what mantle is lol

thanks mate

Mynight · 24 Dec 2014 at 01:04

Mantle is AMDs version of DirectX afaik it's not supported on pre 7000 series cards. It was going to be my next suggestion but doesn't matter now

.

Erm if I'm honest I don't really know how AA works but it seems to be a problem with the drivers and the 69xx series. Hopefully it will get sorted but you're not missing much

.

No worries at all

. Add me on battlelog and join us in some games if you want

Mynight · 24 Dec 2014 at 01:08

yea been looking into them for a bit, kind of want rid of the occasional crossfire hassle too so a single gpu may be better for me

Mynight · 24 Dec 2014 at 01:16

Completely understandable. Crossfire as great as it is seems to have a few annoying issues every now and then.

works wonders when its supported well for sure like in bf3/4

Good games last night. I think I may have had too much to drink though, I got steadily worse.
