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

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 .

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.

There is something wrong there bud.
Define without a hitch?

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 .

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 "k@k off", it then tilts abit and then you know, shes going to fall

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

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.

 

[Isengard]

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.

 

[Qrox]

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

Ok, ty. Will just have to go get the client from my friend then. Should save up on some time tomorrow if I don't have to download it.

Yay more tips \/ . I'll try all those things tonight. The beta drivers Joker linked me to helped a lot, but the more the merrier.

Yeah I've got the new beta drivers, CPU OC'd to 4.5GHz, GPU OC'd to 1228MHz and settings on ultra. Fraps and the ingame overlay say 65 FPS most of the time. When that building drops though, I dip down to ~40 until the event is over.

I'm thinking of Frapsing a full round of aggressive recon only today and uploading it.

Pussy Recon!

Pussy Recon!

Not when I'm on the ground with the assault guys

You'll be the first person to watch my video!

Anyone else notice? We seem to get better constant fps (and way less lag /stutter, discounting the ping latency of course) on international servers. Seems that the JHB and CPT servers are under-spec?

Must be. Lag on CPT servers last night was pretty annoying.

 

[Ash_ZA]

JHB Seems to be worse than CPT for me although ping is a bit worse, wish they would fix it. conquest is unplayable

So how does the unlocking of weapons work? Same as BF3?

Kill people and shoot shit until it unlocks something. Or at least, that's how I go about it

Hahaha!
