Propaganda Hour posted:What resolution? I'm on a i3-3220 and a 7850 and get high enough FPS to play on the high preset at 1680x1050. At 1080p a 7870 should be fine on high. Techspot.com posted a pretty comprehensive benchmarking the other day if you want to go look. Thanks for the link. Yeah I forgot to mention resolution. I am a recent PC -> xbox360 > back to PC convert, and I have always had a 1080p office desktop monitor, so I keep forgetting there are other resolutions as well.

As luck would have it, I have literally just been offered BF4 + Premium for 60 € from my cousin. Usual price on Origin is 110 €. Tell me why I should say yes, so I can justify having it laying around unable to play it. (Current setup is a core2duo 3 GHz and a HD 7870)

Apparently it violates the EULA of the store... I'd rather not risk it for a 9 € difference. edit: OK I bought it, tonight I will bask in glorious 5 fps. Which goon server is for the EU?

I just installed mumble yesterday, the KFS mumble has eurogoon subchannel, but from what I read US servers shouldn't bee too bad latency wise anyway. I am not sure I can run BF4 yet at all, but let me know your origin name and I'll friend you (I'm in Germany), if only for future gaming after my upgrade in january.

Someone will have a better answer but here is how I learned BF3: It takes time. Try to find a Squad that knows what it is doing (which does not necessarily mean "has the most kills"). I began by playing Rush and thought it was stupid, then discovered a server with a good Conquest rotation and tolerable pubbies. So I played there for hours and hours and learnt what to do and stuff. Alternatively, join a goon squad, it is what I will do for BF4. Because pubbies suck, they rarely play cooperatively.

Them graphics... I did not measure it but I just dipped into the Single Player campaign (up to including the airfield mission) and I do get rather good FPS. Much better than with BF3. Now I am not sure that's because I used the 64 bit exe but the game looks amazing and runs smooth except for very busy parts in SP. And I run it on a core2duo 3ghz, HD 7870, 6 gigs ram... I know it says nothing about MP performance but it is soooo pretty.  However, I get a weird stutter effect? In the cut scenes suddenly the last second of audio will start looping, picture freezes for anythign between 1 and 5 seconds and then everything is back to normal. Has anyone had that problem?

Weird, aside form stuttering now and again, I only noticed floating dead soldiers and a floating jet that was supposed to be parked on a carrier. Not major glitches so far (I am at the start of the prison escape mission)

I am looking for a server to play with goons on, as I want to play in a squad as opposed to a useless ragtag band of pubbies. However, I think there have been some people in this thread (or was it the KFS thread) mentioning servers they play on. Right now, with the stability issues, paying for a server seems a waste of money, if we can find a public server to play on. Maybe you should start a Eurogoons thread in Private Game Servers to check demand? That way you may also find people who chip in. Plus you could provide a list of Eurogoon Origin handles there. (I would offer to maintain that list, but I have no idea how, Google docs maybe?)

Alright, seeing the responses here there seems to be demand. I am currently at work and fairly busy, but if by tonight noone has created a thread over in private game servers, I will start a Eurofield Goons one. Unless you want to do it Hambilderberglar? edit: beaten like a pubbie squad in BF...

Liberatore posted:Weird. There's a bunch of threads about it and the common factor between most users affected is W8. Several people also reported seeing memory leaks only after upgrading to W8. And it was a problem in BF3 associated with W8. I play on W7 with 6 GB Ram and have no ram issues whatsoever (haven't updated directx x drivers). But as a tradeoff I get sound loops that freeze my game for anywhere between 3 and 10 seconds. I have a very different problem. When connecting to a server via the little "play" icon in the server list, or via the "join a friend" function, I get booted more often than not. If I use the big fat "join" button it usually works.

Just thought I'd mention this: I use a wireless 360 controller for PC to do my helicopter Problem: You must activate the controller, then start BF3/BF4. Once the controller automatically shuts down because you did not wiggle it for some minutes, you have to activate it again by pressing the xbox button on it. However BF won't recognize it any more, so you have to restart BF3/4 for it to work again. This sucks especially when you only use it for flying copters and those are hard to come by so you end up only flying once or twice times per map. (Is this a general problem or just my issue with the auto shut down?) I found a pretty stupid workaround for this. Workaround: All you have to do is activate the controller, then start up BF3/4. Once in game, simply pop the battery pack out of the controller. When you find a heli, jump in, pop the battery pack back in and activate the controller. For some reason BF3/4 will then recognize your controller without a restart. Once you finish flying, pop the batteries out again until you enter the heli the next time. Rinse repeat. It is stupid, but it avoids having to do game restarts (which basically is a no go with the load times and stability issues). If anyone tries this, please tell me if it works for you, too.

DStecks posted:Does this thing seriously only run through the battlelog? Is there no exe launcher at all? What happens if I want to play the campaign offline (not that I do)? What happens years from now when there is no more battlelog? Is the game just worthless then? If you can't connect there is an offline mode. Battlelog is really just a fancy browser plugin. You can still play the game offline. Now if Origin disappears, that's different.

DStecks posted:OK. I just found it a little distressing that the desktop shortcut went directly to Chrome. It automatically installs on your standard browser. Funny side note: To be able to save emblems I had to create them in Firefox, then copy the URL to IE, then save there. Then it said "saved". Then I had to copy the URL into a new FF instance and save again so it would be saved and applied...

Erata posted:Little known secret, the Shanghai building was built over the Ark of the Covenant. The building collapse knocks the lid from the Ark, destroying all who gaze into the implosion. The patch addresses this issue by moving the Ark to a more secure location to be announced in upcoming DLC, where the experience can be enjoyed in a new locale. So what you are saying is it crashes because I am German?

This patch is GREAT! It has changed the game for me. I can now finally experience the sound-loop crashes I was denied before. I was getting rather bored of only having 3-5 seconds of sound stutter, and then resuming to normal gameplay. Finally I get the full dose. And Lancang drat now does not load at all any more. Totally worth it...

Attention Radeon HD users: Before the patch I had occasional stuttering and sometimes crashes (every 3 maps or so) before patch. After patch I would load maps straight into a sound loop and crash without leaving the loading screen. (literally 13 out of 15 tries on various servers produced a loading screen crash, could not load any map that had water, only succeeded once with locker and once with Golmund, system restarts after every 2-3 tries) Solution: After reinstalling PB and dx for the umpteenth time, I checked for new drivers. Lo and behold there is a beta catalyst driver dated November 7th. I installed this and tried again. I did not have much time but I loaded 3 different maps on 3 different servers without problems. I played flood zone for 10 Minutes and did not see a single stutter. I know this could have been fluke, stuttering may come later and YMMV, but it is worth a try. Beta driver: http://support.amd.com/en-us/download/desktop?os=Windows+7+-+64

I have given up on this game for now. I was doing ok prior to the "patch" with 1/2 crashes a night. Now I can't load a single map. Soundloop back to battlelog. The fact that I feel like punching a dice employee in the face everytime I crash, simply because the game was running before the "patch" and they hosed it up, is no good for my blood pressure. I won't play until the next pathetic excuse of DLC disguised as an "important patch" shows up to make us think they actually change stuff.

Fauxtool posted:these are the steps I took to fix it. I cant tell you which ones worked so do them all. You clever goon! I tried everything before, including reinstalls etc and was furious as it would not work. After doind what you said so far 3 different maps on 3 servers loaded without issues. It was most likely one of the following steps: "Run the registry cleaner from CCleaner" or Delete all the pnkbstr files from C:\windows \syswow64 or "Find the pnkbstrA.exe in C:\windows \syswow64 and go into properties, then compatibility and "change settings for all users" and select "run this as admin for all users"" as these were the only steps I had not taken before.

My connection from Germany to KFS was at ~145 ping. I played about 5 maps with 52-64 players and only had rubberbanding on the very last one (Golmund). Also no lag, but that may have been only subjective due to larger frame drops down to 21ish frames covering up the actual lag. I run it on a lovely machine...

The imbalance is mainly in in-flight repairs. Decent AA taking out helicopters/heli mg shredding infantry seems quite realistic. But then again it is a game that is supposed to be fun.
