Windows 7: BF4 Beta

BugMeister · 03 Oct 2013

I've had it with the Battlefield series..
It's a free for all that favours the powerful only..
I suppose, in that sense, it's a bit like real life warfare..

- the server connection is very poorly arranged, leading to endless problems getting logged in..

I've lost count of the number of times I've witnessed the high-level players massacring the noobs..
this isn't what I call a game at all - it's simply frustrating, there is little or no co-operative play..

it's not what I would call a "game" at all - it's a brutal kill-fest, a massacre of the innocents if you will..

In protest, I've removed Origin from my PC as well - I'm NOT impressed!!

You will need to update to the Beta driver that was released for BF4 GeForce 331.40 Beta Driver Released | GeForce
Everyone i know running an Nvidia card found it unplayable with any previous driver, For me it was like extreme lag and dropped to what seemed like 1-2 fps often aswell as just freezing up. I lowered some settings at first which helped a bit bt not much. All the lag effect went after updating my gpu drivers but all the dust and smoke flickered.

It's looking very promising so far folk's

Edit: If you have a second monitor then you can have a live map like the spawn screen on it which is pretty cool. In Battlelog when you click to join a server and the blue banner along the bottom of your screen show's click the Battlescreen icon in the bottom right. I haven't tested the performance hit on it yet if there is any.

Played a little yesterday and I agree, much improved menu and the battlescreen is cool.

Just a question, do you still have to use the browser to connect to severs? Really wish they would bring back the in game sever menu like it was in bfbc2.
