I saw some people on the servers too already. Must be DICE employees.

 

Is anyone else here upgrading to Windows 8 for BF4 ? Is it worth it ?

Doubt those are employees. Too many of them not working.

Probably youtubers, journalists and others that got early access. And upgraded to Windows 8 long ago, before BF4 even mentioned the better DirectX usage.

Does anyone know if Battlefield 4 PC will have proper controller support?  Support in BF3 sucked.

 

 

And please no "why w0uld y0u do th4t, l0ser' k+m PC elitism please. Want to play on my TV/gaming PC from my couch.

What's a "proper controller support" for you? Game already has full xbox 360 gamepad support even in beta.

Or you just need the aimbot ("aim assist") option like in the consoles version?

 

And wish the beta was a bit more stable. Two servers crashed in a row in the past half hour for me with friends and all were kicked with "Game disconnected: your connection to the server timed out."

Sorry by proper support I mean compared to BF3. With BF3 in Single player for example it would still come up with KBM prompts for the QTEs and even if you hit the corresponding controller button it didn't work, so you NEEDED a keyboard/mouse to play the single player. 

 

So many games for the past 5odd years have proper controller support where you could plug in a controller and it would be mapped and working automatically it was such a shame they borked it with BF3 and didn't even patch it later, so I am quite keen to play BF4 if they have this baked in correctly from the start.

Oh, then in that case; no. Put into BF3 over 200 hours, but never played the single player and for the multiplayer the gamepad is in no use so never had the chance to see if the game offered the key bindings on screen for the gamepad. Tried now on empty server to use the XBOX360's gamepad to see if the interface changes and nothing. Still displays the keys for the keyboard.

 

Maybe on the final release when the single player going to be available?

I have had nothing but fun.

 

The "last man alive" squad feature is (Y) (Y) (Y)

 

I've experienced great squad play with random squad mates.

 

Hip firing feels waaay better. Overall the firing mechanic feels a lot more like the Killzone franchise than BF3 did, which I find enjoyable.

Just ordered a system with these specs:

 

Core i5-4670K 3.40 GHz

GeForce GTX 770 4GB

8GB DDR3/1866MHz

 

Hopefully I can run the game at high or ultimate settings at 1080p.

 

EDIT: Looks like someone already has run the game with that graphics card :)

I'm thinking about saving up and buying this card, rather than the $259 760

http://www.amazon.com/EVGA-GeForce-Classified-Dual-Link-Graphics/dp/B00DBPU8B2

 

should do a good job i think for a while tocome.

 

again, if you're already using nvidia gtx cards, get the latest beta drivers. they greatly improved my game on the 560 ti, and they also finally allow me to run bf3 on ultra.

 

 

so far the game is really nice, that damn building falls too easily though.

game doesnt feel like bf3 at all really, feels more fluid and nice.

What FPS are you getting on your 560 Ti? I'm on medium settings right now at about 60 FPS on my 560 Ti 448. I'm also looking at the 770 (likely the ASUS though for the noise).

 

I just played for about 2 hours and the game feels great!

Well it looks like I need either a new computer or have to figure out some way to upgrade my graphics card (It's a laptop). I'm kinda disappointed at the massive performance drop BF4 has over BF3.  From consistent 60fps (on high settings) to ... 15fps with everything on low. Not particularly impressed. :/

These are my settings

and i average 40fps. Not the best, but its playable.

Still time to upgrade card.

Just drop everything to low if you get such bad performance. Game still looks amazing on low.

Also reduce the resolution scale to about 80%. Helps too.

Seems ok so far, gfx are a small upgrade from BF3 but it runs really really well on my system (SLI 760's) and looks really pretty.

Shooting feels like COD to me for some reason which I don't really like, and I hate how you can see sniper trails.

Also levolution is ###### if anything it feels like less stuff to blow up than BF3.

Lots of little handy changes though in the UI and classes.

    • Windows 11 version 26H2 is now available for testing in the latest preview build

      By LiLmEgZ · Posted

      Owing to the nature of Windows feature enablement updates, it was distributed over Windows Update services as a complete system upgrade rather than as an ordinary cumulative update

    • Microsoft confirms Windows 11 26H2, urges IT admins to prepare for release

      By Usama Jawad96 · Posted

      Microsoft confirms Windows 11 26H2, urges IT admins to prepare for release by Usama Jawad Windows 11 typically follows an annual update cycle, but Microsoft recently broke that tradition a bit by releasing a "26H1" version in the first half of this year as a "scoped" build for select new silicon PCs only. This version was not available for customers using 24H2 and 25H2 builds, as Microsoft is busy preparing version 26H2 for them, confirmed officially for the first time. In a Windows IT Pro blog, Microsoft has urged IT admins to prepare for the upcoming release of Windows 11 version 26H2. The company has confirmed that this will be a small enablement package (eKB) that will simply light up certain disabled features that are already present in the operating system's code base. This means that the "refined" Windows update and deployment experience will be simpler and quicker, with minimal disruptions, as the feature update will simply toggle a few flags rather than performing a complete replacement. Microsoft has explained that this is all possible because the standard Windows 11 releases share the same servicing branch and hence, the same source code. However, this also means that Windows 11 26H1 users won't be able to upgrade to 26H2 as that is a different branch, but this is something we have known for a while now. Similar to previous annual feature updates, Windows 11 26H2 will offer the following support cycles: 24 months of support for Home, Pro, Pro EDU, and Pro for Workstations editions 36 months of support for Enterprise, Education, IoT Enterprise, and Enterprise Multi-session editions Microsoft has not confirmed a concrete release date for Windows 11 26H2, but noted that it is "coming soon". If we go by the ongoing release cadence, we can expect it to begin rolling out in early October 2026. As such, IT admins have been encouraged to begin validating Windows Insider releases in the Experimental Channel, plan rollout rings, and strategize the utilization of their existing deployment tools.
    • Windows 11 gets new audio improvements in the latest builds

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      Windows 11 gets new audio improvements in the latest builds by Taras Buria Today's Experimental builds (26H1 and Future Platforms, formerly Canary) pack several audio-related improvements. If your device is enrolled in the Experimental Channel (26H1), you can download build 28120.2315, while those in the Future Platforms version have build 29613.1000 to try. Here is what is new in build 29613.1000: [Audio] Following up on our previous improvements, we’re making some more adjustments to Settings > System > Sounds based on your feedback. Namely, we’ve updated the “All sound devices” page so: You now have the ability to change default devices from this page. Each of the devices displayed on this page now has a little volume meter next to it to show if there is audio actively playing. We’ve adjusted the page design slightly so now you can filter whether you’re viewing input or output devices. We’ve added toggles so you can choose if you want to hide or show disabled, disconnected, and unplugged devices on this page. We’ve also updated the input and output audio properties page for devices in Settings to now include jack information for those that need it. And here is the changelog for build 28120.2315: This update includes a small number of minor bug fixes and improvements. [Accessibility] This update improves caption style responsiveness by redrawing captions immediately for caption style changes. If no current caption is visible, a sample caption string is displayed. [Audio] This update improves the reliability of the inbox HD Audio driver. You can find the official release notes for build 28120.2315 here and for build 29613.1000 here.

      I agree with what I think you are saying, just not in the way you are saying it. Like any tool, the amount it represents your work is perorational to the effort you put into it. It is similar to why 2nd grade math students learning to add and subtract are not allowed to use calculators, but a high-school calculous student is. For the 2nd grader, that tool would completely replace the work they are doing, for the calculous student the same tool allows them to work far more effectively while in no way replacing their effort or knowable. If you spend 30 seconds writing a prompt, then the image that comes out is no more "yours" than if you found the same image with a Google Image search. However, many of these generative tools also support highly iterative processes that allow back and forth, and merging generated images with photos or human created images. I am sure you would agree that a human spending hours of time working on a project, even if AI was involved in the process, still reflects that human's work.
