My GTX 580 seems to be handling the game alright (Ultra) I've notice lag - but it wasn't FPS lag. I'll have to wait for the open release and see if I need to upgrade, to which I'll go to a 780.

Anyone smash this game out on the weekend? I can see a bright future. However, 2specs? Would be hard for a competitive scene. I guess they'll need to get a BattleTV like Counter-Strike:Source has (SourceTV) to spectate games.

I am level 5? only - with about 5 or so hours played. I'm deffo behind the leading levels (level 22+). I haven't really enjoyed BF4 as much as I did BF3 - but I guess when I start to unlock weapons it'll be a lot better. Also, the helicopters have been improved a lot but still HELL hard to land - and this is coming from an expert chopper pilot of the BFV, BF2 and BF3 series. It's a shame it feels like you're landing on ice and when you nose up for a sharp landing you just fall out of the sky - this may how it works in the realz, but having the helicopter psychics change after 10+ years really is not a smart idea.

Im enjoying it so far, especially hardcore over normal mode, which is strange cause in BF3 I preferred normal over hardcore. Unlocks feel slower than BF3, and there are lots more of them. I like the idea of unlocking weapons, class etc separately

wtb more hardcore domination servers though, annoys me how there are all these "HC" servers which are normal mode, to me HC means hardcore, unless Im missing something

Shame they fixed none of the bugs in BF3 though....

Yeah - I've always been an HC player. In BF3 and BF4 - there is one HC server that I know of (by MAD - or along those lines, get amongst it). Unlocking weapons does seem to take forever but I'm sure that is there for content. With BF3 I felt that there wasn't enough unlocks - now there are plenty to go around as well as time to unlock them.

I've been thinking about setting up a HC server myself so I can run a server how I like it - may as well get in the server realms so it will at least populate. I've been considering going competitive in BF4 but need to find a "Scene" that will support this idea.

I do believe BF3 is better, however it'll be a dying game as most, if not all will move over to BF4 as BF3 feels like an uncomplete game. BF4 aka BF3v2.0 will fill the gaps so bug fixes I'm not really concered about.

:)

The game is unfinished IMO

It has way to many crashes and sound issues.

Anyone played the dam level and had the sound completely cut out?

BF4 will have regulary patches to fix these issues. It is always unknown for DICE to see some of these bugs. They released the game 2 weeks after beta so only so much could get done. I reckon the next patch (a week at most imo) will have a lot of fixes. Many bugs will be weeded out by Christmas imo.

im going to give it a couple of months until stuff get sorted out.

Whilst a completely different game, I remember buying Diablo 3 when it first came out, I learnt my lesson then to wait a bit. Had $hit servers, constant errors essentially I couldn't play it. Im noticing these issues you guys are mentioning are also mentioned by a lot of others.

So I will keep with COD till about Dec then hopefully join you lot :-)

BF3 was the same, I laid off for 12 months (due to not being able to play it) - after that, it was a PAIN in the ass as a level 1 fighting against level 100's with all perks and weapon unlocks. But, running around as a medic dropping med packs got my levels.

Also, EA released an update for the servers for the "crashing" as well as server queing (Server queing could be a delay for all servers to update). This came out today on the BF4 Forums.

loving the game, hardcore has ruined normal mode for me though, but the lockups and lag are so damn frustrating.

On my other rig, IB i5, GTX 570, I cannot play more than a single map without a lockup, on mine it seems to be mainly 64 player servers that kill it. That's apart from the random disconnects.

I've also done all the preventative troubleshooting and this still occurs. Not to mention the bugginess of the maps. Don't even get me started on single player. They really need to fix their shit up, the game feels unfinished.

64 player maps are bugged atm - you'll be lucky to last a game without a crash/jittering.

    • My experience with Rising Sun Exports Before agreeing to the sale I tried to do as much research as I could (obviously), his Facebook reviews are 98% and he goes Live at least once or twice a week. I contacted 2 people in the UK who had used him for their imports, both had positive feedback. His explanation and talk through of the import process was thorough, answering any query no matter how stupid it was. It felt as soon as the money was sent, communication dropped off. I asked for shipping updates every 2 weeks or so, not wanting to pester him, he never had any updates. I wasn't informed the car had been dropped off at the port, I only found out by his Facebook story. I asked for the photos taken at the port, knowing he would need some for insurance purposes. I received a few 5 second clips and that's it. When asked again, he said his staff had them. Weeks later I asked again, he tells me he doesn't have any, but does have 50 photos from the original advert. I never received them. I eventually got the documents sent via WhatsApp after I mentioned the port was requesting them. I purchased a CarVX report, to find out the vehicle is a Grade R with recorded accident damage, first recorded in 2017 when it was first auctioned. He never told me the grade, then again I didn't ask. His response was "Grade R means nothing, it wasn't chassis damage". Still, I would have liked to have been informed about it. Jon prides himself on being open and honest when it comes to inspecting cars, it's his main job doing so at the auctions for customers. When the vehicle arrived in the UK I noticed a few little cosmetic issues. It's a 21 year old car so it wasn't going to be mint condition. The side skirts are cracked on each corner and the sealant is failing. The front grill on the bonnet/hood isn't secured very well, mounting studs are missing. Both minor things, but again, it would have been nice to be told. During a Facebook Live walk around video of the vehicle, he mentioned it has a front Whiteline anti roll bar/sway bar. While on the inspection ramp, I noticed the stock item has been installed. When first questioned, his response was "the ARB? Switched? Since when, it never had them". Since sending video and photo evidence I've not received a response. I'm probably being over critical of the overall condition of an old car, but all I wanted was honesty (which he claims to have). I'm aware I wasn't his only customer, he's busy doing XYZ but other reviews praise him for great communication with regular updates and photos, I felt I didn't receive the same treatment. 
    • I was able to get some underside photos while the car was on the ramp The suspension is all Altezza/IS200/IS300 so getting part's will hopefully be less of a headache
    • Welcome to my 2004 Toyota Mark ii IR-V Fortuna (series 2) With a 1JZ-GTE powerplant under the bonnet (hood) it'll give me plenty of scope for power upgrades. For those who aren't familiar with imports, the 1JZ-GTE is a 2.5L 6 cylinder VVTi engine with a single turbocharger. This has the factory R154 5 speed gearbox, along with a aftermarket 2 way LSD differential (brand unknown). Under the arches are a set of CST Zero 1 alloys, 18x9 +30 225/40 up front and 18x9.5 +15 265/35 on the rear. The car was quite low in Japan and there's evidence of the wheels catching the rolled arches/fenders. The tyre's aren't great so I'm in two minds whether to replace both or just the tyres and put up with the wider wheels on the rear. The car still uses stock brakes with the addition of some braided hoses. The exterior is stock with the exception of a BN Sports front bumper and a replacement Fortuna grill  Moving to the interior, the steering wheel has been replaced with a dished MOMO steering wheel (which will get swapped for my Momo Tuner for the time being) Defi Link Gauges are mounted above the climate controls and on the A pillar, the Oil Temp,Oil Pressure,Water Temp and Boost gauges should help with spirited and track driving  The stock seats have been replaced with some retrimmed Recaro bucket seats. Being a larger build these are a little snug, unfortunately the orange isn't for me so I'll look into replacing these down the line. Other modifications include a twin plate clutch, Blitz intercooler, Evolve alloy radiator, a stainless exhaust with decat, HKS EVC-S boost controller and coil overs
    • Apologies for the long read My R34 GTT was up for sale at the beginning of spring due to a few repairs creeping up. The strut tops needed replacing, roof and bonnet (hood) painting (yay for 3 stage pearl) and the underside stripped and treated. I sold the car which allowed me to be in a much better place financially. Leading up to the sale I was already thinking about the replacement. In an ideal world it needed to be a good all-rounder. Something I can mess around with, modify, do track days, do the school run, go on long drives etc.  Options included but not limited to... Laurel C35, Evo 8/9, Civic FD2, Impreza Hawkeye, Aristo and even an Audi S4 Avant (I've already got the Mazda 6 wagon). But there was always one car at the top of the list The Toyota Mark ii JZX110 I found an advert on a Facebook group for an example in Japan, from a seller called Jon at Rising Sun Exports. A few messages back and forth and Jon calls me from Yokohama one morning (or afternoon in his case). He briefly explained the import process, the costs involved and a repeat of the advert. After much deliberation, the price was agreed and the sale was locked in. I've never imported a vehicle so I jumped into the unknown head first. The money transfer was completed through wise.com (fees apply), very easy to use and the money was with him within a day or two.  The car suspension was raised for the vessel and the car dropped off at the port. It was 7 weeks later when the bill of lading was received and the freight invoice sent to me, followed by the export certificate a couple of days after (both digital copies) In the mean time the port had been in contact. I needed an agent to deal with the NOVA (notification of vehicle arrival) along with the tax/duty invoice, this was £75.00. The port also had a fee of £100, I'm guessing to cover the cost of the 10 day 'free storage' and for moving the car off the boat etc. They need a copy of the vehicle invoice, freight invoice and export certificate to allow the vehicle to pass through customs. The vessel arrived on Tuesday 5th August, the tax/duty invoice was generated and sent over. This is generally tax 20% and duty 10% of the vehicle value. Although the invoice came in at a higher amount than I had calculated. Once HMRC had received the payment the vehicle could be released from customs. I thought once the tax/duty was paid you could collect at any point, that's not the case. Your agent will need to book a collection slot, I requested Thursday 7th which was accepted, with a 9:00am slot allocated. It was a 5:00am start from Norfolk heading to Southampton. We eventually found the compound, upon presenting the bill of lading and some ID they released the car (they drove it out of the compound to the front ready for us to load up). The email from the port stated each slot had a 10 minute window, which seemed abit farfetched but the staff said it's not a strict rule. We were there for approx. 30-40 mins in total. A week prior to collecting I contacted my garage and explained the situation, I was able to get an inspection slot that afternoon. For the registration, DVLA require the car to be insured, for this I used a company called Adrian Flux who can insure the vehicle using the VIN number. 
    • Hey guys, looking for these side skirts if anyone can help me out.
