Does borderless windowed mode work for anyone? I only get a bordered window at 720p when I try. Edit: The stable Nvidia drivers are a lot worse for me then the beta ones. My framerate slows down to 0 when i look at an enemy. Rectus fucked around with this message at 14:47 on Oct 1, 2013 |

A serverer I was playing on was rubberbanding a lot, admin said it was the onslaught of people trying to connect to it, maybe that's what some people are experiencing when they think the whole game lags?

If you're getting low fps in BF4 but can run BF3 on high just fine, it's not your system but the beta client. Eonwe posted:It was fun playing this morning, the game is pretty polished. There are some occasional framerate drops I'll get, but other than that it has been great. It is a lot of fun jumping off the point on C as a siren blares and the tower groans just before it collapses. DICE did a great job on sound direction. I played with you a bit this morning too. Was pretty fun

I kept wondering when I'd get more attachments unlocked for my AK-12, so I opened up battle-log. "Attachments in Battlepacks" gently caress you EA. Seriously, gently caress you.

shakey kneebones posted:You can actually see things now. Thank loving god. Between the blinding sunlight, the stupid post processing effects and super contrast filter of BF3 it was almost unplayable for me after taking a break from the game. Would take a while to readjust to it. Glad to hear they realised that kinda of poo poo was counter productive to a good gaming experience. It's probably why I enjoyed the CQC maps the most because they were indoors without insane amounts of post fx poo poo going on.

Sandweed posted:Isn't those just re skins of already unlocked attachments? Nope. For example, Muzzle break (-25% muzzle climb, -30% accuracy for auto fire) is unlockable via killing people. A flash hider (not visible anymore on minimap) is battlepack only. Also, and you should know this as an experienced battlefield player, the "skin"/shape of a reticule on a scope/reflex can make all the difference.

AK-12 and other default weapons have already a bunch of stuff unlocked by default, if you check for example the SCAR-H, there you can unlock reflex, laser, ergo grip and muzzle brake by killing dudes.

I'm also having a lot of lag issues, even after dumbing my system down to being low settings. I meet the recommended requirements and I really hope this is just a BETA thing. Learning new maps is going to be fun, I keep getting sniped by people on rooftops.

Eh, it does kind of suck to pay $60 and then be expected to pay for more, non-cosmetic stuff that aren't maps. It'll depend on how easily you can get the extra stuff just by playing, really, so...chill out. If its bad, it'll be bad. If its like the unlock bundles they released for BF3 where anyone who had been playing for a while already had everything unlocked in them, it'll be fine. edit: vvvvvv Yeah exactly. I think ME3's system was only frustrating because you could get the same gun you didn't want 10 times before it vanished from the pool, and there were a lot of guns. Characters had that same level of irritation with being able to consistently unlock the same one, giving you extra skins. Buying packs was therefore pretty much useless, and unless you'd been playing really consistently since release, you wouldn't have earned enough ingame money to keep up. The idea isn't necessarily flawed, it just depends on just how much everything costs. Ravenfood fucked around with this message at 15:47 on Oct 1, 2013 |

Can't you unlock battlepacks by earning points as well? I mean, the point numbers looked pretty steep but its doable.

If its like the unlock bundles they released for BF3 where anyone who had been playing for a while already had everything unlocked in them, it'll be fine. Battlepacks seem like a fine way to throw down unlocks and such for players who, say, don't play five hours a day using one class and gun. It also feels like it was constructed so players would see an unlock and wander over out of their comfort zone and use something different, which really needs to be encouraged.

I mean, look at the gun list for Battlefield 4. If they follow the style with Beta, where half of the unlocks are from battlepacks, you're looking at hundreds of items. You might argue "only 10% actually affect gameplay" then it's pretty lovely when you want that item for that specific gun.

They're probably going to have free unlockable choices for the flash hider on release. All the other attachments seem to have them already. The game just has very little of the equipment available in beta.

I didn't have any issues when it was active anyway, but I did turn off my friend list. The reason for this is that everytime someone logged in or launched a game, the game would stutter for a second. Turing my friendlist off removed that problem.
