Battlefield 4 |OT2| Is it fixed yet?
- Thread starter Overdoziz
- Start date
This fucking game. In the middle of a game of obliteration, freezes. Restart and within minutes of just starting a game of rush freezes. The only game mode I can play without worry is team deathmatch. I'd feel really bad if I was the one that bought the game. I own 18 games played so many others and this is the only game that crashes like this.

You said the same thing twice here.
Reduced probability of "I'm glad they reduced the probability and didn't eliminate it," post patch should go live later today.
Splinter said:
30 does change the game in some ways though. That "bubble" for instance is gonna REALLY screw with people because hitmarkers take a few seconds longer to register that you hit/killed someone at longer ranges than 150 meters. It's fine for about 90% of engagements but those 10% are really going to throw you off.
Plus suppression, weapon balance/RoF, etc. etc. etc.
I really couldn't imagine the game at 60Hz. That'd be utter insanity with the way the maps are built right now.

Meppi, I enjoyed the games I played with you today. Always nice to go on win streaks. I totally forgot you were in my friends list. I would sent a party chat invite.
On the map before Meppi joined (Paracel,) I took out an entire squad with the QBU-88 at close range. I had jumped down from a building at C, and they were all on the ground in front of me. I tap the trigger as fast as I could and took out two enemies. Then I reloaded my empty gun, and took out the other two without even getting hit. I was super lucky there. But another enemy hiding in the bushes killed me after that.

Using the bumper buttons is way better IMO to tap or burst fire.
I can easily adapt, and I have. But I still prefer the other way. Seems like I'm not the only one considering Dice finally allowed this.
What is really dumb and stupid, not to say outright ignorant is complaining about having more options.

*waves a magic wand* is it now 95%.
dude 62% is amazing, don't you think if they could improve it by 95% they would?
netcode fix is great. CS had some pretty bad netcode lol
Yeah it sure was fun.
Too bad you have to leave so soon. I'm not much of a talker though, so don't worry about the chat invite. My spoke English sucks big time and I have to concentrate more on talking than playing when speaking in a different language.
Had some very fun moments a little later on as well, like this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1QaeYBZqUIQ
And on the other hand I had a famous BF4 WTF DICE moment as well a bit later... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U2YPJ201Xjo
Guess some people would call that a feature, not a bug. ;P

LOL at that first video. I always forget to press the share button to record stuff (not that it always works properly). When we were playing Shanghai, I was at B dropping C4 from the roof onto the street and blowing up enemy vehicles. That would have been a good clip.
Yeah I really wish the share feature worked 100% of the time.
I've missed some really great stuff by not getting the option to save a clip when pushing it.
In that clip, I cut out the 30 second wait or so that I was playing bushwookie.
Since I knew there were at least 3 people around A and they also had B, I wasn't expecting any backup so Instead of running around like a chicken without a head and getting myself killed, I decided to play it smart for a change. So I waited for someone to make his presence known before making a move. Had no idea that the first type of noise I'd hear was my favourite RPG magnet.

I don't know what the hell is happening. I keep dying in like one or two shots. Every time. I can't react. Either that or I'm trading
This isn't just me being bad either. My overall K/D is 3.2 with 15k kills or something. It's just that in the last week either everyone has got exponentially better or I'm considerably worse. It's making the game incredibly frustrating for me. I know it isn't all about kills, but you can't exactly do much objective wise when you're being shit on constantly
Gah.
Which ACE Carbine is the best again? I'm going to whore that until I can get good again

Oh i have been going through the filters and search options a lot, believe me.
They should just exclude all custom servers from the "Official" filter option. Now it shows Dice games and random custom servers too. I do not want to join a server that has some guns "banned" when i want to play a proper game of Conquest...
in clarification, im on PS4 and in Europe.
Get on the first platform of the tower in Firestorm, play on Hardcore with a red-dot 1X scope and just kill people running around near you. One hit kills.
Plant a claymore to the top of the ladder for an extra kill if someone tries to sneak up on you.
i want the layout swap because i sometimes Remote Play this on the Vita TV and can't use L1 and R1 for aiming and shooting as there is no swap-layout option.
This is good for me
I know how people are probably going to react to this, but having dabbled with networking before I have to say 150ms is damn impressive when both players have a 50ms ping to the server and a likely ~50ms input delay response (typically takes about 3 frames before an input can be rendered due to various reasons).
That's basically the absolute minimum possible, which for a game the scope of BF4 is seriously impressive.
A million times this.
I was reminded of this assignment yesterday from reading this thread and decided to try it again... it was horrible at first then I saw a hardcore (rented) server on the browser and decided to try (with very little hope).
My team didn't even have C, but somehow I managed to sneak into the tower and just camped on the first platform. I got the 5 kills easy and then some, pretty much went 12-0 there. This was all on PS4 and it was a rented server so I got really lucky with it.
Once I died, I left that tower to help cap objectives, but I did horribly. How do people play/enjoy hardcore? It's an orgy of campers everywhere.
That happens to me once in a while. It irritates me and then because I'm irritated I take more risks than I normally would and do even worse. I haven't gone through that in quite a while though.
The Ace 52 is the carbine you're looking for.

just play TDM or Domination, the small maps make it fun with all guns.
I mainly rank up pistol kills or PDW kills on Hardcore games. Conquest is a nightmare as theres no spotting or proper assistance symbols on screen.(medics etc)
nice, looking forward to try this.
still not sure if i´ll go back to L1/R1, since most games seemto use the triggers now. otoh, jamming pistols and burst fire weapons can be rather aggravating.

Nice! i wasn't expecting it to arrive until later in the week for PS4. Will be playing tonight to see if there's any actual improvement

Sounds like an unfair advantage.
No one said you were the only one.
How much thicker did I need to lay it on for it to be obvious sarcasm? I mean, I do think wanting the bumpers are dumb, but not much dumber than wanting non symmetrical joysticks, which is my preference.
Played a bit after the patch on "Medium" Update rate or whatever its called.
It's like a new game. @____________@
NS maps seem to have better framerate too.
Real rap, it's fixed now. It took half a year almost but it's fixed. =/

Wait until the servers are "long in tooth" for a bit and then the game has you dying around corners again.
. It's a band-aid. A nice "fix" but not a "fix-fix."

Get frustrated to the point of wanting to ban a spectator from your servers, bros.
Then they'll reset servers and it'll be fine temporary again

Heh...so that was you attempting to be sarcastic? Really?
Whatever man, I'm just happy because now I have a choice. Even people that prefer the current set up can still find a good use for the swap functionality like Noise pointed.

Did you turn the setting on? Medium or high?
Well I'll be damned...
It's on high now.
Which setting is actually best for what circumstance?

high is best for all circumstances unless you have a slower internet than 1MBit

Ah thanks, will be using that then.
Sniper rounds seem to actually be hitting when they should now, at least at medium distance which is all I care about since I'm still a Rambo wookie from the old days and really never "properly" snipe.
Get HVT'd twice in the same life while killing people with DMR's while keeping them off the bomb. Slightly annoying to play cat and mouse while diving in and out of vehicles flying at me/away from me as rockets try to pelt them instead of going for the bomb.
And then arm the bomb for the win by climbing the stairs and avoiding LAV suppression fire to arm.

I think my greatest fear is with the new netcode, DMRs will become hellbeasts.
On the bright side, I get a lot of shots that feel like they should have hit with the DMRs, so maybe I become the hellbest.

Damn right honey.
I think they tweaked the recoil or the ACOG is really screwing with me since doing mid-close 50-100 meter shots is like 25-40% hit rate for me. :/ I should try the SKS and see if it's in my head. But the DMR's definitely do some work in good hands.
