Can someone explain the Tablet feature to me please? Is that an actual Tablet application that connects or was it a touch screen PC of some sort?

Also, they said it was multiplayer but it looked like the opposite team were bots or something. Would be cool to get bot support back! :D

Probably Smartglass. http://www.xbox.com/en-US/smartglass

I don't know all its capabilities or how they differ between the machines but I saw it a few times during the show for launching artillery and stuff.

Did anyone get an alpha key?

 

We all know that BF4 Premium is coming, I just wish they would allow me to purchase it now alongside the game itself.

 

But then they couldn't make more money in selling the limited edition version which will include the first map pack, which you'll get for free in Premium.

 

 

the 64bit only caught my eye :p

 

Where did you get them specs from? I don't get why 8 wouldn't be included lol. Also no word on minimum RAM?

Unfortunately, a lot of my friends did though. Coincidentally all below average players :D Stream here: http://www.twitch.tv/n12_mcflyjesusxd/b/418222679

It's completely daft, that's what it is. I might see if I can just hang on for BF4: Premium Edition.

Specs were in the alpha email. And it's true Windows 8 isn't supported.

Honestly I can't see the difference in graphics between BF4 and BF3?

Probably more in the special effects and lighting than amount of detail...though you can blow up buildings again.  Just looking at the video it seemed that way anyway, and it seemed like Warfighter had better effects overall than BF3 when I was playing em, haven't touched em in a while though.

 

Might be notably bigger maps on PC if they intend to stay 64 bit only, but we'll see.  That would be unexpected, but EA did cut compatibility with dx9 before anyone else.

Implying that not supporting W8 would tank sales. Good joke.

Consider that as far as applications are concerned 7 and 8 are pretty much the same.

 

Consider that high end gamers would be more likely to be on or move to the newer OSes.

 

Consider that if they didn't support 8, why would I expect their software to work on 9 or 10 when I upgrade to that?

 

Consider that new machines are sold with 8.

 

I dunno man, I think you're the only one laughing.

I really hope they allow Windows 8 to work with it.  I just ordered an new PC that comes with 8.   Hmm.  

It'll work, there's no doubt about that. As for the alpha, it may never support Windows 8. The beta is more likely to support it.

I know they will support 8. I don't remember ever saying they won't.

 

Got any proof to backup that second statement? W8 doesn't offer any performance advantage over W7 that isn't a statistical anomaly.

 

Again, where did I say they will not support W8?

 

Consider market share.

 

Thanks for making me laugh harder.

    • Microsoft confirms Recycle Bin bug across all versions of Windows

      By Usama Jawad96 · Posted

      Microsoft confirms Recycle Bin bug across all versions of Windows by Usama Jawad A couple of days ago, we reported that the latest Patch Tuesday update has seemingly resulted in a lot of issues for many users, including OneDrive and Dropbox access problems, BitLocker recovery lockouts, and BSODs. Although Microsoft is yet to acknowledge these bugs, it has confirmed another, relatively smaller issue across all supported versions of Windows. In an update on its Windows Release Health Dashboard, Microsoft has confirmed that after installing June's Patch Tuesday update (KB5094126), you'll experience unexpected behavior when leveraging Recycle Bin. Basically, when you attempt to delete an item from the Recycle Bin, the confirm dialog will show you the internal file name of that content rather than the actual name. For example, the file may be named abc.png, but the confirm dialog will ask if you're sure that you want to permanently delete $Rxxxxx.png from the Recycle Bin. This is pretty much it for the scope of the bug itself; it just displays the wrong name in the confirm dialog. The correct name will be shown in the list view of the Recycle Bin and if you restore the file, it will return with the correct name as well. This issue affects pretty much all supported versions of Windows client and server, including: Client: Windows 11, version 26H1; Windows 11, version 25H2; Windows 11, version 24H2; Windows 11, version 23H2; Windows 10, version 22H2; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2021; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2019; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSB 2016 Server: Windows Server 2025; Windows Server 2022; Windows Server 2019; Windows Server 2016; Windows Server 2012 R2; Windows Server 2012 As things currently stand, Microsoft is working on a concrete solution that will be released in a "future" Windows update. It remains to be seen if the firm will wait till the next Patch Tuesday or roll out an out-of-band (OOB) fix. The good news is that commercial customers can deploy a workaround right now, but they will have to reach out to Microsoft Support for Business for additional details.

      A study by physicist Henry Tye of Cornell University suggests that the universe may not expand forever. Instead, it could eventually stop expanding, begin contracting and end in a "Big Crunch" roughly 20 billion years from now. Maybe not as we now know that time can flow backwards.

      Of course. Simply reverse the polarity.

      It is clear from this aricle that "Time Is On My Side" no matter which direction it is flowing., https://noai.duckduckgo.com/?i...m%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DsEj8lUx0gwY
