Battlefield 4 Experience

I'm just angry, but truth is I did build it for one game, and all future games but the main thing was okay don't go next gen but build a new rig in time for BF4.

I just can't figure out why it's doing what it is, it's not even just because it minimizes the game but it completely f's up Windows,you can't even navigate to through Windows after quitting the game, you have to push the rest button just to have your rig back. :|

I'll try Chrome and I'll try admin but I've Googled and can't find anything.
 
Calm down, take it step by step and we'll figure it out I'm sure.

I hope so, it's only Battlefield 4 though, Rome 2 and Arkham Origins (only other two games on my rig) work fine. I thought I'd got past it but nope, the issue is still there.
 
The only problem I've ever had with BF4 is CTD's, and once I couldn't actually spawn, just let me repeatedly choose a class! Seems to be stable after the latest update though! I'll have to come find you guys on Origin!
 
EA's shares are now being affected, now it comes to money they will hopefully clean this baby up.

By the way that reads, it's only dropped *because* they said they were shifting focus to fixing it, not because of the issues. The shareholders are exactly the same as EA, they just want the money.

This absolutely is NOT a positive for the development and fixing of Battlefield 4

One day after Electronic Arts put all DICE projects on hold--including new Mirror's Edge and Star Wars: Battlefront games--the publisher's share value fell more than 6.5 percent today. Shares are currently trading at $20.81 after closing yesterday at $22.34.

They may well say they are trying to fix it, but as I've said before I'll believe it when I see it. If they really have put the entire DICE team onto fixing this, it had better be god damn freaking flawless by christmas. And by that I mean, fixed, tested, alpha'd, beta'd and released... None of this half-arsed "oops we gave everyone mega ammo for this gun by accident" BS they pulled in previous patches.

EA/Dice need to chuck this 'unified platform' BS out the window that they adopted with BF3. We're forced to use the POS Origin, they might as well use it and micro-patch BF4 using that.
Even if that means moving onto a beta release for all users to get daily / nightly builds for testing bugs.

LET THE GAMERS and COMMUNITY beta test your products you bunch of morons... seriously though.. They have one of the biggest most dedicated communities and they do nothing about it, Bohemia have got it DEAD RIGHT by having a beta branch build available via steam and they allow the gamers to test and give feedback.

Dice need to do the same thing, they have the platform that they've rammed down our throats (origin) they need to utilize it instead of releasing bi-weekly piss-poor-patches.

Yes, I'm annoyed by this, but I can't fathom how they can be so stupid as to not use the resources they have available to them...

The most common thing I'm hearing is it's not Dices' fault it's EA that are to blame TBH I just like everyone else just want a stable playable and enjoyable game, Iv'e said it in multiple places if a free game like Mech Warrior Online can beta test for 18 months on a free game there is NO excuse for a company like EA not to do it, Stop the 2 week beta on 6 month old code and do the job properly. All that said though I do have high hopes for this game and hope it is fixed as the maps are gorgeous and well thought out and good fun to play on.
 
It is a great game when it works.

If I don't get it going without it messing up Windows this weekend I will cry, probably.
 
Shame it's taken EA's stock to fall for them to do something about it though.
I hope they get voted worst company of the year again and again until they finally change their ways. There is always hope :D

Whether or not EA are pressuring DICE or not though, DICE are still pretty bad at things. They are the only devs I know that consistently get things wrong, release bad patches and break things that weren't even broken in the first place.
 
Finally unlocked the UCAV \o/

Couldn't fly jets to save my life the start of this week, now I can fly and take down other jets. Two achievements for me, the UCAV and learning how to fly.
I'm still a noob pilot but i'm not doing to bad, not used lockons once to take people out either, just used my main gun.

Anyone else that isn't good in jets and trying to unlock the UCAV watch this vid, it helped me loads :)
My control set up is slightly different to the one recommended though.

 
Just been playing again, as soon as I joined it crashed, played two maps and it just stopped responding. :( I for the first time just saw the weather change on paracel storm though...gorgeous!
 
My game crashed 6 times again tonight and is lagging so frigging hard my KD has gone to total shit worst ever bf release yet
 
Looking to see my FPS in game. Tried this command:
Render.DrawFps1

Does not like that or any variation of iut that I try.

Cheers...
 
I thought it was fraps causing crashes for me just because it seemed to happen as soon as I hit the screenshot button but it still stoppped responding, mind you it still could of been, usually the image just freezes and you get those stupid sounds looping.

As long as the bug is fixed were my keyboard becomes unusable then I'm quite happy.
 
New patch out today lads, not sure what time because I think Guru3D is an American site?

Details, lots of client crashes fixed!

Edit: Oh great, a megalodon in the ocean. That's me not going in the water, after the days of Crysis sod that, I swam right out and went under and the land just dropped so I followed it down and all of a sudden...pitch black...turn around, see the outline of the shark, it's all black, my lovely old mouse skipped on a bit of dust or something, spun me around, couldn't see the shark...turn around and AHHH it was in my face...died.
