Haven't played beyond CTE in awhile now so I'll just continue to wait. Once the patch hits Retail I'll start grinding the buffed weapons. Potentially with goons.

E: Plus the guns I'm interested in are unforgivably bad right now so I can definitely wait.

So my ISP "fixed" my node. Now they cannot figure out why it only sends once every 10miliseconds. Their current suggestions are play coop and don't host while we fix it.

I miss battlefield bugs and all. The irony to all this is for some godforsaken reason I can host titanfall and coop games with no issues. So peer to peer is working but anything with dedicated servers is getting poo poo on. I am fairly sure I know what they broke but I need to check my server to see. Also cox officially no longer has tier 3 support, so if that poo poo is not in the troubleshooter manual it is not getting fixes.

CTE updated and is expected to hit retail the end of September:

http://cte.battlelog.com/bf4/news/view/fall-patch-update-143611/

quote:

Today we will update the CTE to be on par with what the Fall Patch will include (pending certification goes as planned).
During the time since the last update the team has been hard at work fixing critical crashbugs, performance issues and what we call blockers – all in preparation to be able to release all this to all players on all platforms with the Fall Patch (expected to be released in the end weeks of September).



PATCH CHANGES
Here are the notabel changes included in this patch:

Fixed crash related to entering vehicle or stationary emplacement
Fixed elevators being active on Dawnbreaker being active on DOM, SQDM, TDM AND ELM
Changed descriptions to reflect balance changes
for RGO Impact , V40 minis and Heavy Barrel
Adjusted gunner HMG values so spread increase happens smoothly.
Incoming damage indicator fix
Fixed an issue with the incoming damage indicator rotating incorrectly when player hurting has been killed (did not make this release – or the patch :( )
Optimized memory usage on Naval maps
Several stability, performance and other blockers fixed
(list being compiled – will be part of patch notes for fall patch)

Well I guess it is a good thing there are two teams at dice LA. The cte team and the battlefront team. Because I just looked at the blog post they did about the sept patch and it is mediocre at best. It is going to be a long week for the cte team.

Ok never mind blog post is now gone and only the one about fair fight remains. And dear god whoever wrote that fair fight blog post should be taken out back and pistol whipped.


Hope someone got screen caps of that blog post because I did not think to.


Edit after all my bitching about my ISP I have to give them credit. They are splitting my node and two(building a new node in the area) so here is hoping it fixes my net.

I am not totally sure what you are talking about. The CTE thing that came out yesterday was them saying they had added some stuff to the CTE that was going to be in the retail patch. I didn't see the FairFight thing.

There was a post on there before dated for the 5th and it had some patch notes in it. It was depressingly short. I will remain hopeful that it was pulled due to not being the full patch notes.

If DICE detailed all the changes they've made in the CTE in a single blog post it would go on for days.

Yeah theres huge stuff coming in the September patch, for example the visual recoil fix and reduced UI clutter (you can set your own opacitities on UI elements).

Oh and it actually shows if an enemy is using the defensive perk when you spot them., little things like that.

New headshot hitmarkers too.

I'm pretty sure I heard someone from EA say that was going to be a big advantage of Origin in general. Too bad publishers can't show any favour to digital platforms for fear of angering the GameStops of the world.

Here's a list of the weapon changes on CTE. Credit goes to Rezal @ Symthic for compiling it.

Overview of the big changes for anyone who hasn't been following: Damage Model got lowered, Visual recoil was reduced, Revolvers got their delay removed, DMRs got buffed, low RPM guns got buffed, Heavy Barrel got buffed, high RPM guns got nerfed.

Unless I'm reading things wrong the AWS is getting an increase in bullet spread per shot but getting a decrease in base spread for firing while moving and ADS'd so a nerf and a buff. The SR-2 and MPX could use it though because they're pretty nuts. The Laser Sight is getting a buff too so that will help all the PDW's.

PDWs are much more effective from the hip due to the Laser sight buff and got an ADS buff, plus Bullpup PDWs got buffed. The MPX is one of the least effected weapons from the damage changes and all mag fed LMGs got buffs to moving ADS accuracy. The SLAM is still effective but not out-and-out better than AT Mines.

Hey dudes,

I play this game on and off (mostly due to some bug making it crash) but tonight I booted it up to do a video on the beauty of BF4 (shameless plug https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JvXZDT5PXFY) and I cranked everything to max and had no crashing issues.

I remember hearing something about a big patch recently that fixed things like netcode and various crashes. Is the game (as the thread title says) pretty much stable now? I remember the levolution on Seige of Shanghai was a big culprit pretty much always taking one or two of us out of the game when it happened.

I'm gonna try to get my friends back into it but some of them have poo poo internet so I don't want to suggest this if it's only marginally better.

We're not really into the balance of the game as much as it just running well enough for us to crash jets, jeep, and our own well-beings into people.

Pretty much all crashing issues have been fixed for a long while now, except for the random ones every game experiences.. The "netcode" is a mixed bag. If you go into the Gameplay options you'll notice a new one called "high frequency updates" and can choose from Low, Medium, and High. Experiment combining it with various levels of the Network Smoothing Factor option and you might get some good results, or no difference at all. All I really know is you don't necessarily want to set the High Frequency Updates to High all the time.

Is that netcode change just about the gameplay or will that setting also affect stability?

I'm glad most of it's been fixed. I've never felt so burned after buying a game.

Every PDW got a buff this patch and most got recoil reductions and velocity buffs, not to mention that they don't even have to ADS within their effective range now. Also every close-ranged option in every other class including the MTAR got some heavier recoil.

It's really far, it's always been much farther than it was in BF3. I don't think they changed it.
