394.08MB update rolled out today.

Mantle
-Fix for a crash that would occur when activating full screen in portrait mode
-Fix for stuttering that could appear during video sequences on multi-GPU PCs
-Fix for a memory system leak that could cause stalls, which would result in frames taking longer to process
-Reduced the amount of stalls that occurred when running with high graphics setting that require more GPU memory than is currently available
-Fixed screenshots on multi-GPU PCs
-Players now have to explicitly enable Mantle, as it is no longer enabled by default

Well this makes me want to give mantle a go gain tonight just to see if it helps any.

And thanx for the feedback Joker now i don't feel so bad about my rig

What issue?

Nivdia Driver has stopped working
Not sure what card your running but it did the exact same thing on 2 different machines with the exact same gpu's

 

[Stunt]

GTX 780. Only nVidia related issues I've had were due to GeForce Experience.

 

[AlienTaker]

Stunt i'll jsut hop in with you guys tonight if i see you online i'll just join the server from your name, is it normal or HC?

We're both running 780TI cards and both had the same issue.
Eh not to bothered, its sorted now for him and I have my new cards so all is well.

The one I mentioned was HC - got a liking for it these days. I'm up for anything across the board really

Ah, well that sucks. Happy he has it sorted though If AMD/ATi create their own type of Shadowplay, I might even go that route. But GeFE and it's features are epic, not to mention their mostly solid drivers.

I think that's the only thing I'll miss, Shadowplay is awesome.

But, HC is easy mode?!

They both have their strengths. I find the Mini Map and 3D spotting make Core a breeze after a few HC rounds.

So BF4 is completely broken for me right now after patching.

I recorded some raw footage and it's busy uploading right now.

Whats wrong mate?

 

[DuckKnuckle]

Whats wrong mate?

Game rubberbands and lags. At times it completely freezes with ingame audio looping.

Must be the server patching because the Battlelog message just popped up.

New patch completely f upped the game for me as well. Game freezes as soon as I enter a map with sound loop. Spent probably an hour with EA advisors trying to fix the issue without any luck. Good times.

 

[Stunt]

Sorry guys, I'm also noticing strange lag post patch - hope they fix this fast!

 

[AlienTaker]

i had 3 good rounds no issue even with mantle on and then we started new maps and boom game fucked out and then i started having stuttering

 

[The Joker]

Ah BF4...EA just showing us what they are capable of...NOTHING!! lol

Haha, only messing with you man.

Nah, I agree to an extent. It's easier to move around and rack up kills on HC - which is why I love it - However, it's not easy just for me, but everyone which is where the difficulty comes in. That and those damn one-shot snipers...

What I love is nothing regenerates health and spotting is based on vocal communication. When I jam with the BmW/SPoR guys we own each round because we sit on TS and point out enemy movements and flanks. It helps a lot.

I find its difficult to adjust though. Core you are constantly spotting people, and you end up relying on that mechanism heavily. Or you're so used to being in a tank and getting repaired in core whilst still moving the tank a bit, HC you end up roadkilling your mate by accident.
I almost find you need to fully commit to one mode, either HC or Core for example, otherwise they're too different at times.

 

[Neo]

I love HC. Which is why I'm miffed that the UE Hardcore servers no longer show on my server browser. I find "normal" mode to be too easy at times.
