Solved BF4

[Solarstarshines]

Still jerking all over the shop. I've had it with BF4.

What are your settings i had to do some modding to make it run butter smooth it might be how your have it set up

 

[Boozad]

I lowered my settings last week after talking to Ganj but it's made no difference. I've tried switching between windowed and full screen mode, uninstalling and reinstalling the game, uninstalling and reinstalling PunkBuster, and a few other things I'm struggling to remember.
It does seem to get worse when the server fills up, but I don't have a lot of instances to support that as I haven't played much since this problem started.

I noticed you mention Shadowplay in a thread on our forum. Have you tried only installing the display driver and PhysX without Experience and all the other bumph? making sure to check that clean install box as they can be a real pita for some people.

I have mate, I've been running just the drivers and PhysX for a while now, I uninstalled Experience a couple of months or so ago when I kept hanging. I only reinstalled it so I can record what's going on to show people how bad it is!

Ah ok mate never mind. I really can't think what else to suggest mate, I'm stumped

 

[Boozad]

Me too mate, I've tried so much different stuff and nothing works. That's why I'm at the end of my tether with it.

 

[ganjiry]

Yeah I'm not surprised mate, I'd be pulling my hair out by now lol.

 

[Boozad]

I haven't got any to pull out!

 

[ganjiry]

:roflmao: Yeah not much left here either

 

[Dude]

Booz, have you tried this

Use your (latest) system DirectX over the ones provided with the game.
Move, rename or delete the following files C:\programfiles x86)\origin games\battlefield 4:

D3DCompiler_46.dll
Copy and paste this file from C:\Windows\System32 to your C:\programfiles x86)\origin games\battlefield 4

D3DCompiler_47.dll


The game will now run these DLL copied from C:\Windows\System32

 

[Boozad]

I'll give that a try Doug, thanks for the info. I'm just uploading a short video so you can all see what it's like.

 

[Boozad]

Right here's a couple of minutes gameplay, you can see the rubber banding, other tanks jerking backwards and forwards, my tank hitting things that aren't even there... This was a 32 man server and it wasn't as bad as usual, in a 64 man server it's much worse.

 

[Dude]

I wish I had a answer for you. It is nothing on your end, it's the servers. You made that vid with shadowplay? How large are the files when using it. I was thinking about trying it.

Yeah I definitely think it's something server end, I don't have any trouble with any other game and the campaign on BF4 plays fine.

That was with ShadowPlay and that file is 1.2GB, it is recorded in 1080p but didn't upload in HD for some reason. The Titanfall video in here weighs in at 3.5GB.

 

[Solarstarshines]

Too me that looks like a server lag or ping issue when you saw that tank in front of you and then be gone that is Ping and Lag coming from the server not you

The best thing to do at this point is check your ISP connection and test your hardware with a ping test

Also ,I would look into Main Stream servers not the one's people make those tend to be the worst because they have excellent ping and you suffer

I agree Tommy, nothing has changed on my end from when the game used to perform well so it has to be a problem between the server and my rig or my ISP. I've run a couple of ping tests below:

And on a different server:

Nothing wring with my connection there it seems. Then I ran a ping on my own PC:



Again, perfectly normal. Then I ran a ping on two of the BSM servers, my most played servers that I've spent hundreds of hours on with no problems prior to the NS release. Look at the fluctuation in pings!



How I solve that is completely beyond me. I need to ping some more IP addresses to see what happens.

As a test and seeing as I am in the UK too Boozad, I just tried pinging the same server as you, results below.

I have not really been following your progress or lack of it. I assume you have tried rebooting the router/modem. I assume it's a wired connection?

How does it show if you try pinging some normal sites like bbc.co.uk or google.com?

Paul.

It is a wired connection mate, and I'll try rebooting the router shortly. I'll try pinging those sites now.

BBC:



Google:

 

[Boozad]

Right, I've just rebooted the modem again and my ping to one of the BSM servers looks fine. I'd discounted this as I'd rebooted my modem a couple of weeks ago when I cleaned my PC out and the problem persisted. If this works Paul I'm going to track you down and kiss you.



And the other BSM server:

 

[paulpicks21]

Lol, don't worry about the kiss. But I do hope it works for you. Certainly looks promising if the pings are anything to go by
