Whoops, I've been struggling away with slow moving turrets for, well, forever

 

[whyscotty]

Really? Could swear the last time I looked it was just a universal setting

CTE felt like crap last night. Switched to regular BF4

 

[thefogo]

What's CTE?

 

[pgi947]

Community test environment. A posh name for running a beta 8 months after retail launch.

Aka bf4, the way its meant to be played

Difference over the standard game is like night and day. So much better.

 

[Yaayuh!]

Unrelated but here goes: Anyone here fancy helping get the GOL Magnum on Friday night? I'll help in return.

Something i'd like to do as i loved the GOL in BFBC2.

Still up for that tonight?

Add me: PWee_Yaayuh

Was thinking of using a quiet server, hardcore take it in turns to kill each other with snipers on the tower.

Sounds like a date.

I'll be spectating, fear not.

Well, bugger me. I always thought those XP boost things in the battlebacks automatically applied and stacked...I guess not

Encase you haven't noticed over the last few days, I don't pay much attention in the menus!!!

 

[thefogo]

I totally forgot about those, haven't used one in months

 

[setter]

They do soon stack up, but they dont apply automatically (as i can also admit that i didnt realise).

I tend to let mine gather up a bit as well tbh, then use the bigger ones on double xp weekends. Without them it would take me ages to rank up, now if it was for deaths. Id be commander in chief by now.

Whats most annoying is that you got to keep track of the time left as the game will not give you any notice that your xp boost has run out.

 

[Yaayuh!]

Does anyone know if there's a limit on how many xp boost you have? Because i keep getting 50% and the occasional 100% that i use but get loads of 25% that i never use. Why would i use a 25% over a 50%?

See post 8243

I was always wondering why so many players were lvl 100+ and I haven't even broken 50 yet. Figured they must have been playing non stop since release, now I realise they've been using boosts

Oh well I guess this means I have around 60 hours worth of xp boosts to use.

It's all about using a 200% boost on an XP Boost weekend...

Well guys i found the culprit that was causing my CPU spikes while playing BF4

Its seems that GPU-Z while running eventually causes the spikes.. it wont happen right away but after so many rounds maybe 5,6 or 7 rounds of BF4 i get the spikes every second. As i have GPU-Z refreshing at every second i thought.. hmm i wonder if its that?

So i got spikes earlier and then minimized GPU-Z (which was up on my second monitor) then put BF4 back in full screen and they went. To test further i changed refresh on GPU-Z to every 0.5 of a second.. damn those spikes came back twice as fast lol

At least thats sorted out now and it wasnt actually Dice at fault for once but if anybody else is having CPU spikes while running GPU-Z then u probably now know what it is
