Also winning a tank duel with just 2 health left on your Tank no longer means you have to abandon the tank!

Every one of my tanks that got below 10% self-destructed. :shrug:

Played a couple of rounds of beta last night and I'll probably won't play much more of it. Between the "everything is gray" map, the crashes and the stuttering (before and after driver update), I'm gonna wait until this is at least playable.

That's going to make this game incredibly uninteresting...

Maybe this would be easier to deal with if there was a scout- instead of a second transport-helicopter.

I joined a game and now I'm stuck with a loading screen covering 90% of my screen while I'm apparently in spectator mode somewhere outside the map. I tried updating my video drivers, I tried updating windows and I tried updating punkbuster, nothing works. Any suggestions?

I've had that for the last 2 days. I updated punkbuster today (which failed midway) and while I still get that, it actually lets me join the game after 5-10 seconds of that happening.

Any flying tips? I played a little BF3 on console and now this on PC but my piloting experience remained about the same; get in, backflip into a fireball. I hosed around on an empty server so I'm not exploding immediately anymore, but I haven't really figured out how to hover very well or what's the point of tilting the heli left/right with the mouse.

Don't plan on piloting all that much but I'd like to be able to do something with those wookie transports that get ditched and forgotten on rooftops.

Maybe give flying with the keyboard a shot. Personally I find it much easier.

So whats the best way to record your gameplay without constantly recording everything and filling up your hard drive?

Fraps has a function where it buffers the last 30 seconds or so. If something happens you press a button and it saves the buffer and keeps rolling.

Get on it, GMG.

I ordered like a month ago and when I checked yesterday on GMG's games page there was no key. I checked an hour ago and am currently 42% done preloading.

Welp that was fast, I can't continue SP because I'm stuck on a bugged QTE on South Chinese Sea. It was fine the first time but I died shortly after. You shove away some junk from a ladder but I have a gun out and am unable to move. Loading the checkpoint has the same effect and reloading the mission is like 20-30min of progress lost. :dice:

Anyone from the US who ordered Premium from GreenManGaming? Did you get your keys yet?

I'm in the EU so BF4 unlocks 31.10. GMG say they will release the Premium keys on the release date. Does that mean I will get Premium only on the UK release date (1.11)..? Not that it matters to be without Premium for one day, just wondering.

I literally just checked and there was a code but entering it into origin produces an error.

I just refreshed and it was there. :)

Added it to Origin with no issues. Sorry it messed up for you. I think I remember people saying to make sure there are no spaces when you paste the key in.

Yeah that was probably it. I saw the space at the end but there was another one at the front that I missed.

I get the complaints about the crashes but honestly the lack of a queue is the worst problem I have with BF4 right now. How hard can that be?

The most upsetting part about this is leaving the game and seeing in battlefield that you didn't actually get the promotion or unlock

I believe this was on the Eurogoon server.

This one has a bit of conversation at the beginning I didn't want to cut. Stabbing starts ~30s.

There is short cut at the end where I thought "better save this to the hdd" and then it went on.

Are the miniguns on the scout choppers useful for anything or am I correct in thinking that the 25 mm is just better at everything?

Yes the 25mm are better at everything. You can unlock them by riding stinger engi for another pilot since the scout chopper is pretty much useless without them.

Perestroika posted:

They're generally a fair bit better at shooting down opposing choppers, since it's so much easier to hit them. But for ground attack the 25mms are supreme.

I respectfully disagree. 25mm for ground targets, heatseeker and/or stingers for other choppers. The miniguns are just terrible.

I updated the nvidia drivers earlier and it deactivated shadowplay without me noticing.

An hour later I killed a guy on Resort who was hiding under the bungalows at E by bouncing an impact granade onto the floor directly into his face. It was perfect.

Pressing Alt-10, then noticing the icon wasn't even there was just :negative:

If anyone still hasn't picked up BF4, it's currently down 30% over on greenmangaming. You can still use a 20% voucher (like GMG20-ZB5D1-93X49) on that bringing it down to just over 30€.
Might be EU only.
