I dunno about Hardcore, I just did it on Normal. Maybe it'll somehow run over you from beneath? Worth investigating.

The ticket thing is a joke. I hope the new weapon progress isn't reverted though, they're not visible anywhere but in game and if you get kills with them it's not recognized in battlelog even. The MTAR-21 is as good as it used to be and I didn't even know it was coming back until today so I'm really happy about that.

The ticket thing isn't a problem except for Rush (64p rush with 100% tickets sucks) and TDM, which isn't designed around larger numbers of players at all. As I don't have a SSD, those modes are pretty much out of the question for me. However, CQ, CQ Large and Domination are perfectly fine with 100% tickets. I won't be surprised if the change wasn't intentional, though.

All I've been playing on are servers with 800 each.

Liberatore posted:The ticket thing isn't a problem except for Rush (64p rush with 100% tickets sucks) They could change the mode pretty easily to accommodate 64p; since the issue with that many players tends to be suffocating defense, just make it so that you only have to destroy one of each set of MCOMs to move to the next stage. Split the focus of the defenders a little more. Ideally, of course, you'd just have maps designed for bigger Rush games, but this way could mitigate the problem a little.

I feel kinda bad for the devs. I mean look at that changelog, they must be busting their asses. It's unfortunate that people are still having problems though. Software is complex, I can only imagine the complexities involved with a game like this and a large team working on it. Hopefully they iron out the rest of the kinks soon, because this game is fun as gently caress when it works right.

Rhymenoserous posted:Awesome. Went from being able to play the game with only the occasional crash to near constant crashing. Same. Might be coincidence but each time I've crashed it has been immediately after the suppression bug (the one where your vision blurs even while you're not being shot at which was introduced with the client patch).

I was going to check to make sure, but the BL scoreboard thing isn't working. Either way, I believe it's 800 tickets for CQ large and 400 for CQ small. Most CQ large servers seem to be running at 100% after the patch so odds are if you're playing on 800 ticket servers, that's the default.

Party Plane Jones posted:24 seconds. It's right in the description. Is this your only source? Because the reason I ask is that the description text for a lot of Battlefield guns/gizmos is completely worthless. Don't get me wrong, it sounds reasonable (as does the ~30 ballpark figure), but I want to be sure.

Servers crash during map transition. Rubber-banding on large servers seems to have stopped, but that might be server provider-related. Add maps other than Shanghai back into rotation, I guess?

Crap, I don't know what they did but my game is not accepting any input...... The game loads, the level loads it just does not accept any keys or mouse presses. How the gently caress...... Unplugging mouse and keyboard does not work..... It was working fine before, except for the shanghai crashes that is.

hambeet posted:Oh I thought this was just me and my lovely PC. Nah. So far I've only found one server that doesn't crash during map transition. Big or small, any game mode, it doesn't matter. At least stats are saved, and the large (60-64p) servers I've played on have stopped crashing mid-match so no more losing your stats just as a 30 minute game is about to end. Battlelog currently has an announcement mentioning the crashes and that they're working on it. They also admitted they hosed up. So hopefully the issue will be resolved soon. hambeet posted:Was that the only source of the intermittent losing all sound on server bug? No one else experiencing the sound drop out anymore? As far as I know, that was the only source of the server-wide all sound goes out bug. But some people are still having sound issues in Lancang Dam and Golmud Railway. I've played both maps a few times and haven't encountered any problems since the patch, though. Liberatore fucked around with this message at 22:19 on Nov 14, 2013 |

Funnily enough some rounds I thought I'd lost stats on in opening week caught up on my battelog the other day. The 'round played' time was wrong but it was definitely the maps I thought I'd lost the stats all together. I was playing absolutely poo poo though so it wasn't really a big loss at the time.

Is anyone else having screen tearing issues? I can run this on mixed High/Ultra settings with good framerate, but with lots of screen tearing. I tried v-sync, and putting in a frame cap in the console and with Nvidia Insepctor, but nothing works. EDIT: Ugh, I'm actually looking at youtube videos for the fix. I hate that way nerds speak when they can't hear their own voices because of headphones.. "Upin up thisis foller called baffield four."

Acquire Currency! posted:Has anyone ever played diffuse? I haven't but as far as I can tell it's a (designed for 5v5) CS-inspired mode. Otherwise known as Search & Destroy in Call of Duty. Basically, one team defends, one attacks. Each person gets only one life per round. If attacking team plants the bomb and it goes off, they win. If defending team defuses the bomb, they win. If either team is wiped out, they lose. Whoever wins the most rounds wins the match. Mr Shiny Pants posted:After a reboot still no input.... Time to update my video drivers. Have you tried deleting the settings folder in your BF4 folder? I haven't seen this problem mentioned anywhere else at all.

Today I learned that if you're in some type of air vehicle when the round ends you have a good chance of getting killed when it just kind of falls out of the sky. I'm also unable to unlock the suppressor for the ace 23 although I have 164 of the 160 kills I need to get it.
