Preload BF4 beta right now/BF4 beta discussion thread

Now I seem to be getting a lot better performance having v-sync on, in all settings except Ultra I get 30-50FPS on average with some drops into 20s on High, while Ultra is 20-35 on average, and I'm using different drivers, I'm pleased right. Either way what an improvement.

Highest VRAM I seen so far is 2.3GB VRAM.

DICE employee said on reddit that the beta build is only a week old???

makes sense

Regenerating vehicle ammo is pretty dumb.

It's like mashing infinite and limited ammo together...and you end up with the worst idea ever.

It's still an unplayable mess. I have no idea how to fix it. :(

Actually it's a great way to prevent you from spamming spawn points. This will make you have to use vehicles a bit differently. It's a needed balance. Tanks have gotten more powerful so they need something to prevent them from just camping constantly.

With BF2 tanks would stay in the fight until they ran out of ammo then people would ditch. This allows them to stay in the fight and only have to fall back a bit. It's a better mechanic.

The beta build is only a week old of their beta code, not their final code. Beta is still a completely different build way behind the main version.

"We will most likely patch the game during the Beta (PC). We have already patched the servers a few times."

Good to know.

I love it. No more infinitely overpowered tank drivers or chopper pilots. They actually have to piss off for a bit and come back to the action. It's a little annoying on a smaller map like shanghai cos you're pounded by other tanks and infantry easily but on bigger maps it's gonna be a big deal. Gonna make vehicle combat pacing a lot different

I expected that cos they did the same for the BF3 beta in 2011.

I love making emblems

Even on all low. The suttering is game breaking.

Is the beta only for pre-orders? Or are there beta keys being given away?harry_james_pot

Tomorrow it goes open for everybody.

Good to hear. Imagine the horror if this was release in the final build.:shock:

I agree. 320.49 drivers even everything all low stutters from time to time, it's not the constant stutter of the beta drivers but many times I've gone to aim down sights and the whole game slows down and I'm dead when it goes back to normal. It's ruining a lot of it

Does somebody know any coupon/discount to pre-order BF4 ?

Indeed. I hate stalemates when you can´t take a flag because of a tank that doesn´t stop bombing the capture point from a far, and your team has only measly ACV and jeeps. Now infantry combat will matter on vehicle maps.

You know what? Fvck this, the agme runs shit on Nvidia cards. Trying to zoom in as Recon and the whole game comes to a crawl and stutters like crazy.

Also I've been noticing a few times where I'm killed in what seems like 1 shot by engineer machine guns from really far away. Distances I should know I'm being shot at from

There are already some hackers in the game as well as the suttering causing some really weird issues.

The game is broken for Nvidia users. It's really sad.

Well, this game sucks, too. Next!attirex

i disagree

I really want to get in and get used to things but I can't cos my aim is so inconsistent with lag. It's annoying as fvck

Stop driving yourself crazy and go back and play BF3 for now if it bothers you that much.Gooeykat

Yeah cos that's the same thing

Total Biscuits thoughts

Domination is ok but there's a bit of BS going on with laggy shots. I met a guy at point blank range and pumped at least 3 bullets into him and no hit markers, he killed me and had 100% health 

also the rooftop is such a camper hotspot

seanmcloughlin

have you messed around with your network smoothing?  

But yeah, the roof is fvcking annoying on domination.  But it's been pointed out that the final game will have mortars which should help since the rooftop has no cover.  Also, if you know how to use the Airburst you can get the people camping the edges

Just chiming in to say I get decent frames 50-75 with a GTX770 but I the only issues I really have is with hit markers and such. Emptied 20 rounds into a dudes chest with the support lmg at about 5 feet away and got no hits what so ever he had full health when he kiled me. Other than that I am enjoying it alot so far.

First day and the day after were fine for me but now the stuttering is so ridiculous it makes the game unplayable for me. Even with the rolled back drivers.

I've heard it a lot from 600 series users actually so it seems to be a driver issue. I hope new ones come out soon. It's making it really hard to play. I'm making a video on the game for tomorrow though and there were a good few dips to showcase what I mean

One moment a chopper flew overhead and I aimed up at it getting about 2-5 fps and then 2 seconds later it shoots back up past 60

How does the new squad system work? I ask this because ill be playing with a friend and it would be cool if i could spawn where he always is...FelipeInside

Join the same squad.  Then click his name or the green arrow on the deploy screen. Hit deploy
