Battlefield 4 V.1 "Stretching Necks"

[StrawberryClock]

Ok, ok, ok.

So I fixed my crashing problem (for the most part) and somehow my FPS is now smooth as butter (for a GTX275 anyway).

This is what I did:

-Made SURE I had the latest GPU Driver;
-Made SURE Punkbuster was updated to the latest version for BF4;
-[URL="http://www.reddit.com/r/battlefield_4/comments/1pm4r5/fix_for_anyone_having_issues_with_missing_audio/"]Applied the sound fix from Reddit[/URL];
-When I run the game, I change it's priority in the task manager to the maximum (Real Time).
-Underclocked my GPU and CPU.

I run the game at 1680x1050, lowest graphics, 90 fov and I get between 40 and 60 frames per second.

I have no idea which one of these steps fixed the problems, but you guys should try it. I'm actually enjoying the game quite a bit right now.

For those wondering, my specs are:

Windows 7;
Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Q9550 @ 2.83GHz (4 CPUs), ~2.8GHz;
8192MB RAM;
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 275.

[QUOTE=Pandamox;42720032]After playing the game for a good amount of hours i can honestly say the majority of the maps in this game are just shit.

They tried to design the maps [b]around[/b] a shitty destruction event which is cool for the first time, and hardly ever happens on most of the maps. Because of it, the maps are cluttered and most of them aren't actually designed properly whatsoever for more than 48 players.

Spawn trapping is almost as bad as some maps in BF3, a lot of maps have too many vehicles that they know what to do with and it just turns into a vehicle camp fest and being trapped in one point. Rush hardly works on any of the maps, domination doesn't work on [b]any[/b] of the maps, TDM is still a joke like it was in BF3 and obliteration is a decent concept but is such a laughable kill-harvest fest that bugs out so much that they should probably just remove it, rethink how it should work and add it back in.

Why the fuck can't they design maps like they did in BC2? I honestly think the BC2 maps were the best maps that have ever been in the BF series, they designed all of them with rush 100% in mind and then molded it into the other modes, which works 10000x better than making it with [b]all[/b] of the modes in mind and just fucking all of them up

[editline]1st November 2013[/editline]

Basically, if you're thinking of getting BF4 right now and haven't yet, don't.

Wait until they fix half of the bullshit problems and the game is actually worth your money[/QUOTE]

Having played them all, i feel like most of them are best on rush honestly. they don't feel large enough for Conquest large.

And i still have no fucking idea why they put jets on dawnbreaker.

i'm gonna get it tonight

Its fun when shit isn't crashing.

[Skanic]

I like how when your main gun is empty and you try to switch to pistol it instantly switches back to your main gun making you get killed.

[RocketRacer]

I haven't crashed in MP yet, and I've played a couple of matches already. I'm on Win8, maybe that's the reason.

[editline]1st November 2013[/editline]

Only once my game had lagged completely(connection wise) and everyone froze, then I got disconnected with the reason 'client has closed connection'.

[Psykiris]

[QUOTE=Raidyr;42720562]Its fun when shit isn't crashing.[/QUOTE]

So hilariously fucking true, I crashed twice on one server, rejoined, within 30 seconds the server crashed, moved on to another server, hop on a quad, drive 20 seconds, crash, rejoin, start playing fine, literally the END FUCKING MUSIC PLAYS and the game go to the score screen, and I crash. Fuck this shit, call me when it's been patched to fuck all and back.

[RocketRacer]

The only problem I got so far is how guns work...

Guns have almost to no recoil and bullets fly directly by a straight line and don't even drop like in BF3 and pistols are weird as fuck now - no recoil as well and gun is just jumping right-left when you shoot it. It's so fucking weird[sp] like colodooty[/sp]

[editline]1st November 2013[/editline]

Or this is how guns work? :v:

[Skanic]

I like all the maps so far, the only maps i don't really like are operation locker and Haitian resort.
I like floodzone the most and zavod 311.

My only experience on Floodzone is campers on roofs killing you from nowhere on Obliteration(whatever it is spelled)

[Skanic]

The guns do have recoil, but guns like the ak12/aku12 and sg553 , ak5c dont have that at all, while the A-91 has a lot of recoil which you can fix by microbursting. Really looking forward to the ACE 52 CQB. Its one of the carbines with the highest dmg and RoF is 650 RPM.

But why bullets don't drop like in 3?

Crashed within 5 minutes of joining a server for the first time since release. How did they manage to make the game more unstable since beta?

[Brodi]

Does anyone know of a fix for joysticks? I have a Saitek x52 and every time I have it connected my gun just continues to shoot until its out of ammo. I think I had the same problem with BF3. Anyone have any tips? Flying with the keyboard is impossible for me :V

Fire was bound to my throttle control on my joystick.
I had to unbound everything and rebound just what I need for helicopter and jets.

I'd say I'm crashing less now but it's all a lie.

[QUOTE=RocketRacer;42711476]holy shit my emblems from beta were saved!

oh, so bonus battlepacks are only in Limited Edition? Well, at least I will get a veteran one..[/QUOTE]
note: veteran battlepacks may be delayed. it is for me

[RocketRacer]

Is there any way to make Steam overlay work in 64-bit? I launch Origin.exe as non-Steam, both as admin, but still no overlay, while it does work for BF3.

[editline]1st November 2013[/editline]

[QUOTE=Zar;42721226]note: veteran battlepacks may be delayed. it is for me[/QUOTE]

I know. :(

[Mr. Agree]

I found making the game high priority in task manager helped with some freezing, it's still kind of there but not as bad. Yet to see if it works with other maps though

[RocketRacer]

holy shit I posted my profile on last page and 7 people added me since then. yay, I've got more friends now!

[ionuttzu]

Did they fix the rubberbanding by now?

[Clavus]

[img]http://i.imgur.com/BIT3e3X.png[/img]

Welp, that was fast. At rank 6.

[editline]1st November 2013[/editline]

I don't even have the first unlock for most of the other vehicles.

[Zar]

My game is crashing too often... It's not fun when it crashes. I'm not getting rubberbanding on some servers, so that's good I guess. Can't wait for a friggin patch...

[editline]1st November 2013[/editline]

btw fix for audio cutting off, should result in less crashing too. havent tried it yet.

They do, though. Try sniping without accounting for bullet drop, you won't hit shit.

It really takes the challenge out of it when you unlock all fast attack craft upgrades in one match

[Zar]

It's because LAV Camp = 20 2 score

[Clavus]

[QUOTE=Vipa;42721539]It really takes the challenge out of it when you unlock all fast attack craft upgrades in one match[/QUOTE]

You have everything unlocked at 16.000 points, which isn't a lot for the Murdercraft 5000 (with passive radar missiles you shoot aircraft down left and right, and with the 30mm cannon you blast away every opponent on water). Most other vehicles require nearly twice as many points for the last unlock. Hell the main battle tank needs 69.000 points, and it has only 2 more unlocks in total compared to the fast attack craft.

[Waffuru]

Obliteration on floodzone american bombsite A, what the hell were they thinking putting the fucking site in the open for the whole US zone to see?? They can take a LAV and along with the WHOLE fucking american team and camp the waters or highway behind buildings and lay in the fire on that site, it's fucking impossible to plant!

[RocketRacer]

[QUOTE=Hideous;42721394]They do, though. Try sniping without accounting for bullet drop, you won't hit shit.[/QUOTE]
Sniper rifles is one thing. Assault rifles with non-droppable bullets is another. Or maybe they just drop on really long distances now, so I can kill enemies by looking straight at them on medium distances?

[editline]1st November 2013[/editline]

Or maybe it's just the standart weapons. I haven't unlocked any(almost).

[Zar]

It depends on the rifle, they also drop in damage at some ranges. Most AR's drop at 600 m

[editline]1st November 2013[/editline]

the dmg drops
