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.

    • I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option 
    • You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)
    • I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.
    • Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.
    • Continental have consistently beaten the absolute shit out of every other performance tyre in Wet/Damp/Cold conditions and give up a little bit of time (half a second at most) in the dry. Almost like it's engineered for German conditions or something. I'd def give those a try.
