Official Battlefield 4 Thread

I've noticed last night, when I enabled the DrawOverlay command to show the FPS, that the framerate constantly dips quite dramatically.

For instance, it would be running between 60 - 75 FPS on High, but every so often it will dip to between 33- 40 briefly and come back to 60 and up. So that might have been what was causing the illusion of my game stuttering. So, I'm hoping this will be fixed by release time :P

The lag was a little bit better last night, but it's still there. I had some great fun last night though, along with Buzz. I love it when that skyscraper falls, it's so epic :D.

What annoys me is that everyone tries to destroy the building right at the start of the map.

Other than that, had some great games last night. Servers seem to start rubberbanding when it exceeds 40+ players but this will get better once we open our own servers again.

I've tested the game with a 7970, a gtx670, a gtx780 so far.
Avg wise the 780 was slightly faster than the 7970 but it was still a little choppy, I also know its still a beta so there is that xD
Also when you say Ultra, do you mean just ultra with no eye candy enabled?

As far as I can tell my fps never dips below 50.

Lol, the reason people do that is because there's always a hundred campers up there :P.

And yeah, I hope MWEB are not the only ones that's going to be hosting the servers......MWEB's gaming servers are really shit these days. Becoming really annoyed with their schitt lag issues everywhere.

These are the beta servers only. People will start hosting their own.

As of tomorrow though, we can expect the lag to be even worse considering it'll be the start of the open beta.

Are you using Fraps or the ingame FPS counter?

the best part, you can hear when the building is starting to "[email protected] off", it then tilts abit and then you know, shes going to fall :D

as for the campers on that building and ANY other, my chopper will find you, i WILL hunt you down :D

on a side note, Joker, will a 580 suffice? my poor 7770 struggles big time.

Yeah it will. Take the beta performance with a pinch of salt though. It's different for everyone.

Also, if you haven't done so already, try setting your resolution scale to 125% and enabling adaptive vsync. Should help with FPS gain.

For lag, disable VoIP.

Just to make sure, there isn't any way to start downloading the Beta client if you don't have BF3 Premium or MoH right? Will I only be able to start downloading tomorrow?

Correct. The open beta doesn't allow you to preload before the time.

Nah I will run fraps tonight to see, but I've played enough FPS in my years to get a sense of what my framerate is.
