Just found possibly the best deal on BF4 I've seen, already cancelled the ?44.99 origin pre-order to go to Amazon at ?30.99 before today, mate just found this, BF4 + Full Premium, not just the china rising you get with the other pre orders for ?54.99! so now I've cancelled Amazon and gone for this.

I don't see anything about if it's a Russian key or not, so I'd e-mail them first to verify that it's not. Because if it's a Russian cd-key, the game isn't multilanguage like with other regions.

BF Keys aren't locked like that...at least BF3 wasn't, you put the key into origin, then its asks which you want, UK, French, German, Russian etc...

So it shouldn't matter.

They actually are locked exactly like that. Ordered a Russian cd-key for cheap for a friend back in the day of BF3 release and to play the game in English, he had to download the English files separately from the Internet.

Then it wasn't a Russian cd-key. I'm just telling you to check that the site you linked doesn't sell Russian cd-keys.

There's also a cheaper option out there: https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1143924-battlefield-4/?view=findpost&p=595915593

From the product description: "Own more, be more with a Battlefield 4 Premium membership. Get the competitive edge with two-week early access to all five expansions, and keep the action going all year long with weekly content and 12 additional Battlepacks. Get into the battle faster with priority position in server queues and participate in Premium events. Dominate in style by personalizing your Battlefield 4 experience with exclusive camos, paints, emblems, dog tags and more."

 

The premium gives you all the expansions.

and then underneath it just says: doesn't list any other expansion

China Rising Expansion Pack.

Fight for dominance across the vast and majestic Chinese mainland in four massive maps, using all-new vehicles and high-tech military equipment in the premium expansion pack, China Rising?

Also says in the title "free DLC when you pre-order", well the pre-order offer is just China Rising, that's given by EA any pre-order has china rising.

Feel free to contact Zavvi, but I'm 99.9% sure that does not have the full premium code. unlike the link I gave which is BF4 and Full Premium.

Some people from overclockers.co.uk forums did contact them and they confirmed that the premium that mentioned in product description is included.

 

I myself didn't order from them (had an "uncle" to order the game with the premium for me in Mexico), but to verify I also contacted them (zavvi) now. Just because psionicinversion ordered from them because of me.

I'm surprised i'm saying this, but i am really bored of the beta.

 

The guns they let you unlock really suck, and the Snipers seem way too over powered.

 

I'm not worried about the game, i'm sure alot of this will change by the time the game is released, or a patch soon after.

 

Or maybe its just the support class I love playing. Hope they improve it.

starter guns sucked in BF3 too...I just can't be arsed to play one map over and over.

BattleLog just updated with a bannar saying

 We are preparing for the Open Battlefield 4 Beta. Until the Beta is live, you will not be able to access the Battlefield 4 section of Battlelog.

So looks like they've not released it yet.

Went to download beta and found out I only have 2GB left on my drive. Damn you Steam sales.

Haha, time for a new drive...or some un-installing....or if its all on your C then ccleaner might free up enough, I've seen that clear GB's if its never been run or not run for a while

Well i wont be upgrading to 8.1 Just for one game, I suspect it will be better optimised closer to release date on 7. Using 560ti and high ish settings, its fine until tower drops or go near spraying water.

If you have any games that support DX11 at all, it won't be just one game.

 

In my case, my issue is lag - horrible lag.  (But then, I'm closer to the floor RAM-wise, therefore the lag is not surprising; also I was on a nearly-full server.)

I love how the RPG is now a giant sniper rifle with a bomb on the end of it... since you can lock onto anything with the help of any sniper now.  :/ ruins the weapon, and game imho... especially for anyone in a vehicle.

 

Not to mention how RPGs actually work IRL.

I didn't realize that the RPG could lock on targets with the sniper's laser sight thing or at least not the very first RPG that's available until I saw a video showing it. It really should be an unlockable weapon.

    • Windows 11 gets new audio improvements in the latest builds

      By RejZoR · Posted

      Nudge me when they bring back hardware audio acceleration so I can get my EAX 5 back. We've evolved graphics to real-time path tracing, but regressed audio some 15 years back in time with this stupid software audio stack.
    • Ocenaudio 3.19.4

      By Copernic · Posted

      Ocenaudio 3.19.4 by Razvan Serea  Ocenaudio is a full featured, fast and easy to use audio and music editor. It is the ideal software for people who need to edit and analyze audio files without complications. Ocenaudio also has powerful features that will please more advanced users. To assist ocenaudio development, a powerful toolset of audio editing, analysis and manipulation called Ocen Framework was created. ocenaudio is also based on Qt framework, a well known library for cross-platform development. Cross-platform support ocenaudio is available for all major operating systems: Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. Native applications are generated for each platform from a common source, in order to achieve excelent performance and seamless integration with the operating system. All versions of ocenaudio have a uniform set of features and the same graphical interface, so the skills you learn in one platform can be used in the others. VST plugins support Ocenaudio supports VST (Virtual Studio Technology) plugins, giving its users access to numerous effects. Like the native effects, VST effects can use real-time preview to aide configuration. Real-time preview of effects Applying effects such as EQ, gain and filtering is an important part of audio editing. However, it is very tricky to get the desired result by adjusting the controls configuration alone: you must listen the processed audio. To ease the configuration of audio effects, ocenaudio has a real time preview feature: you hear the processed signal while adjusting the controls. The effect configuration window also includes a miniature view of the selected audio signal. You can navigate on this miniature view in the same way as you do on the main interface, selecting parts that interest you and listening to the effect result in real time. Multiselection for delicate editions To speed up complex audio files editing, ocenaudio includes multi-selection. With this amazing tool, you can simultaneously select different portions of an audio file and listen, edit or even apply an effect to them. For example, if you want to normalize only the excerpts of an interview where the interviewee is talking, just select them and apply the effect. Eficient edition of large files With ocenaudio, there is no limit to the length or the quantity of the audio files you can edit. Using an advanced memory management system, the application keeps your files open without wasting any of your computer's memory. Even in files several hours long, common editing operations such as copy, cut or paste happen almost instantly. Fully featured spectrogram Besides offering an incredible waveform view of your audio files, ocenaudio has a powerful and complete spectrogram view. In this view, you can analyze the spectral content of your audio signal with maximum clarity. Advanced users will be surprised to find that the spectrogram settings are applied in real time. The display is updated immediately when altering features such as the number of frequency bands, window type and size and dynamic range of the display. Ocenaudio 3.19.4 changelog: Adds fallback fonts so every language and symbol displays correctly Improves autosave and session recovery stability Improves region navigation and display Fixes a crash when the level meter is used on displays with a scaling greater than 200% Fixes memory corruption when using the silence selection tools Fixes crashes when closing a file while effects are still being processed Fixes a freeze when applying effects to many files at once (macOS) Fixes crashes related to audio devices on Windows Fixes invalid file names when exporting regions whose label is used as the file name Other bug fixes and improvements Download: Ocenaudio 64-bit | Portable | ~40.0 MB (Freeware) Download: Ocenaudio for Linux and Mac OS View: Ocenaudio Homepage | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware

    • Waymo recalls self-driving software after cars enter closed freeway work zones

      By ExecutiveFunction404 · Posted

      This got me thinking, would you rather a self driving car prioritise protecting its passengers or everyone else? I'd choose the one that keeps me and my kids safest. At some point, these cars have to make those choices already, don't they? Wonder if we have a way to find out what way they lean.
    • Google is opening the world's first AI museum in Los Angeles

      The proportion (or number of iterations) has nothing to with this aspect of Copyright I am describing. In short, it doesn't matter how many times the manager tells you to change something or how. Your work product is always YOURS until and unless you then assign that to the person representing the client/company, usually for financial compensation -- either in salary or as a subcontract work for hire payment. if iterations determined copyright, then businesses would have learned to just keep making changes until they could claim they owned the copyright, without having to compensate the artist for their work. And that would be BAD. The only place where the amount of changes does have a role is in how much does a human modify a previous public domain work (from any source) before it is considered fair use or their own work, etc. For example, if a human makes substantial changes to a public domain (re: AI, by definition) work, then they can then claim that derivative work as their own...but NEVER the original version, of course. That's why anyone can make a movie about Dracula, for example, as long as it is based on the public domain novel, but not if they take new ideas from copyrighted movies made afterwards. As one of the people who personally advised the US Copyright Office on their recent ruling on these very issues, be assured that I specifically used the terminology precisely -- though I made it simple enough for laymen to understand it. If I made this confusing by doing so, I apologize. But, to be clear regarding your assumption that I would agree to your second statement that I quoted above -- the answer is NO. If AI does the work, no matter how much "direction" you give it, it cannot be copyrighted. All AI generated content is in the Public Domain and therefore the copyright cannot be assigned to ANYONE, even you -- until and unless substantial modifications are made to it BY A HUMAN BEING (yourself or a contracted artist/writer/etc.) and then that copyright on the derivative work is legally (in writing) transferred to you. This is a critical distinction. And it is important that people, especially AI sloppers, understand this. For example, YouTube is not paying AI slop generators for the copyright, etc. of their AI slop. What YouTube is doing is sharing AD REVENUE for permission to publish your AI slop. Copyright/ownership/rights never come into it. Importantly, that means that anyone can copy any AI slopware on YouTube, etc. and rehost it anywhere they want, even back on YouTube, and there is nothing legal that YouTube can do about it with regards to copyright protections, ownership, DMCA, etc. Anyone is legally free to use any AI slopware in any way they want. When this ruling was pending, I warned Disney legal of all of this before they did their OpenAI deal -- that it would literally dilute their entire IP portfolio forever. They ignored that warning for the PR and stock bump. But that is why, when the ruling came down last year, Disney quickly extricated themselves from that OpenAI deal, even eating the initial upfront fees -- followed closely by OpenAI ending their entire AI video generating business model. They adjusted their PR release dates to make this less obvious to shareholders, of course. Phew. I hope that this clears up the key distinctions for you and anyone reading. If you have any additional questions or even hypotheticals about AI and Copyright, please feel free to ask.
