My GTX 580 seems to be handling the game alright (Ultra) I've notice lag - but it wasn't FPS lag. I'll have to wait for the open release and see if I need to upgrade, to which I'll go to a 780.

Anyone smash this game out on the weekend? I can see a bright future. However, 2specs? Would be hard for a competitive scene. I guess they'll need to get a BattleTV like Counter-Strike:Source has (SourceTV) to spectate games.

I am level 5? only - with about 5 or so hours played. I'm deffo behind the leading levels (level 22+). I haven't really enjoyed BF4 as much as I did BF3 - but I guess when I start to unlock weapons it'll be a lot better. Also, the helicopters have been improved a lot but still HELL hard to land - and this is coming from an expert chopper pilot of the BFV, BF2 and BF3 series. It's a shame it feels like you're landing on ice and when you nose up for a sharp landing you just fall out of the sky - this may how it works in the realz, but having the helicopter psychics change after 10+ years really is not a smart idea.

Im enjoying it so far, especially hardcore over normal mode, which is strange cause in BF3 I preferred normal over hardcore. Unlocks feel slower than BF3, and there are lots more of them. I like the idea of unlocking weapons, class etc separately

wtb more hardcore domination servers though, annoys me how there are all these "HC" servers which are normal mode, to me HC means hardcore, unless Im missing something

Shame they fixed none of the bugs in BF3 though....

Yeah - I've always been an HC player. In BF3 and BF4 - there is one HC server that I know of (by MAD - or along those lines, get amongst it). Unlocking weapons does seem to take forever but I'm sure that is there for content. With BF3 I felt that there wasn't enough unlocks - now there are plenty to go around as well as time to unlock them.

I've been thinking about setting up a HC server myself so I can run a server how I like it - may as well get in the server realms so it will at least populate. I've been considering going competitive in BF4 but need to find a "Scene" that will support this idea.

I do believe BF3 is better, however it'll be a dying game as most, if not all will move over to BF4 as BF3 feels like an uncomplete game. BF4 aka BF3v2.0 will fill the gaps so bug fixes I'm not really concered about.

:)

The game is unfinished IMO

It has way to many crashes and sound issues.

Anyone played the dam level and had the sound completely cut out?

BF4 will have regulary patches to fix these issues. It is always unknown for DICE to see some of these bugs. They released the game 2 weeks after beta so only so much could get done. I reckon the next patch (a week at most imo) will have a lot of fixes. Many bugs will be weeded out by Christmas imo.

im going to give it a couple of months until stuff get sorted out.

Whilst a completely different game, I remember buying Diablo 3 when it first came out, I learnt my lesson then to wait a bit. Had $hit servers, constant errors essentially I couldn't play it. Im noticing these issues you guys are mentioning are also mentioned by a lot of others.

So I will keep with COD till about Dec then hopefully join you lot :-)

BF3 was the same, I laid off for 12 months (due to not being able to play it) - after that, it was a PAIN in the ass as a level 1 fighting against level 100's with all perks and weapon unlocks. But, running around as a medic dropping med packs got my levels.

Also, EA released an update for the servers for the "crashing" as well as server queing (Server queing could be a delay for all servers to update). This came out today on the BF4 Forums.

loving the game, hardcore has ruined normal mode for me though, but the lockups and lag are so damn frustrating.

On my other rig, IB i5, GTX 570, I cannot play more than a single map without a lockup, on mine it seems to be mainly 64 player servers that kill it. That's apart from the random disconnects.

I've also done all the preventative troubleshooting and this still occurs. Not to mention the bugginess of the maps. Don't even get me started on single player. They really need to fix their shit up, the game feels unfinished.

64 player maps are bugged atm - you'll be lucky to last a game without a crash/jittering.

    • Yeah good point, it won't flash on indicator that way, so plan B, just another wire to run from under the dash which makes it a bigger job 30 to indicator + globe side 86 tapped into 12v input to flasher relay under the dash (has 12v when indicators on, nothing when no indicators) 87a to headlight parker + 87 to original indicator + chassis side 85 to chassis/earth Now it will flash with indicators and be solid on with parkers
    • FWIW, that's the only colour I'd buy it in
    • I am having issues I believe with the throttle body. The butterflies only open about 1mm on the bench at full throttle. Is this what is supposed to happen? does it use the motor for the rest? I am able to manually open them up the hole way but it sounds like it is on gears.
    • Currently at 380rwkw with 2860 -5's & b cams on e85, trying to make it have a bit more torque/usable power down low.    Ive googled the v cams and most sites say discontinued, is there anywhere you can still get them?
    • Most hardlines are available new still. But unless they're rusted to the point of needing replacement you can just zinc or cadmium plate them to keep them going for decades to come. Regarding the turbo drains it really depends. Braided lines might be better if it's a straighter path than OEM but I would not assume braided teflon lines will never leak. Teflon is a very durable material but you can still abrade, erode, or otherwise compromise its integrity. The return hoses on the bright side are not that hard to access relative to a full turbo removal so if things go wrong you can always put it back to stock. You can very easily drive yourself insane analyzing every little change, or maybe that's just me.
