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.

 

Tweets from Dice point to 1: A glitch in the beta that they are aware of, the RPG currently when locked on, does 100% damage, so it is a one hit kill weapon which takes 0 skill to operate. They do not sound like they are going to fix it, so for now, beta ruined. 2: They are going to leave the RPG in the game, make it 90% damage when locked on, thus making any other anti-air missile worthless

That's a good thing right? After all, the Battlefield target audience don't play with vehicles.

How do YOU think RPGs (real ones) actually work?  They are different from traditional anti-tank OR anti-APC/IFV weapons (such as the Carl Gustav or AT4).  The former do indeed fit over traditional infantry rifles, where a combination of the bullet's own velocity and the gas propulsion of firing it propel the grenade toward the target.  The disadvantage is a shorter range than more traditional anti-tank or anti-APC/IFV weapons (again, such as the Carl Gustav, AT4, or even the old-school Dragon of the Vietnam era), and you need more of them to take down even a Bradley or Striker, let alone even a Challenger - and don't even think about the Abrams.  The advantage is that RPGs, due to that old-school propulsion system, are supremely cheap - you can deploy RPGs in quantity (which is why they are STILL common in "brushfire wars", such as the current Syrian civil war - they were just as common - on both sides - in Afghanistan).  Further, paramilitary outfits (or even covert ones, such as SEAL Team Six or the Battlefield series' Tombstone Company) are NOT going to necessarily have the most up-to-date of weaponry which will blow their cover; by and large, they are going to go old-school (or gray-market, if not outright black market) for as much of their loadouts as they can - to preserve plausible deniability.  (Why do YOU think that DELTA - which was created before SEAL Team Six - is almost never deployed covertly anymore?  The reason is, in fact, rather obvious - it's almost as hard to deploy DELTA as it is the 82nd Airborne Division.  DELTA grew, and grew, and GREW - today, DELTA is the size of TWO Special Forces Groups, and requires two C-5s to deploy.  SIX can deploy on a single C-17 - if that much.  Tombstone Company is, in fact, smaller than SIX - it's about the size of a SEAL platoon.  Platoon and squad-sized units are FAR easier to covertly deploy than even an entire SEAL TEAM or SF Group, let alone a mechanized infantry battalion.)

 

Also, the idea of a "smart" RPG warhead is practical today - the idea comes from the "smart bomb", which is your basic low-drag general purpose bomb fitted with steering mechanics (including, in some cases, a laser receiver and/or TV camera) - the transmitter can be used by combat-controllers, forward air controllers, or even SOFs (again, Tombstone Company, Rangers, SEALS, Green Berets, etc.) to *paint* the target for the bomb (or missile, or RPG) - it's why PLDs (personal laser designators) are, in fact, part of the typical loadout for ALL those units I named before - in real life as well.  In other words, not only is it NOT a glitch, it's practical, and today - in fact, it's been practical since Desert Storm - which was two decades ago.

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.

 

the full premium content is not included mate. When they changed the description i emailed zavvi and they said it is not included. only thing from the premium content is China risiing which is available for all pre-orders. The person contacting me could be wrong but i guess ill just have to see when i get it :D

 

Also BF4 is awesome... my mate who plays alot of multiplayer fps says its one of the best hes ever played :D

Every time I try to connect to a server, Battlefield 4 stops responding while loading. I have an AMD Radeon HD 4870 with Catalyst 13.1 (can't use a newer version) which is slightly above the minimum requirements (AMD Radeon HD 3870). I checked the Battlelog forums and it looks like I'm not alone. People with better hardware have the same issue as me.

BF 4 needs catalyst version 13.4 and up. my mate has 2x 4870's in crossfire and it doesnt work cus the 4870's are not supported in the drivers. im running 13.4 on 6870 and runs well... dont want update because as the saying goes if it aint broke dont fix it. me and him are going for the 280x when its released though :d

Funnily enough I have the same problem, but if I join off a friend already in a game it loads fine.

Iam Getting Pretty good performance for my system. My i5 is taxed to 100% so my gpu cant give it much, at ultra 1080p with 2xmsaa i get around 45fps avg, with near 60fps at point D and E and around 40 on water near the point C. My cpu peak at 100% when the map is dusted out at point C, will probably upgrade to a 3770k before release because most newer games will be using 8 thread, crysis 3 already does so..

Anyway its payable to my standard, i use a 660ti OC

Crisp just mentioned that he can join his friend's game so it may not be a driver issue. I think it's a game-related issue because other people, with newer video cards (and more up-to-date drivers), have the same problem.

I had the issue where trying to launch the game just kept timing out. This fixed it.

 

If you are having trouble launching Battlefield 4 due to timing out issues, restarting your PC should get you back into the game.

 

Windows Vista and 7 users simply need to reboot their machine and launch Battlefield 4 again. Your game should launch after restarting your computer.

 

Windows 8 users running into timeout issues need to turn off Fast Startup before restarting, however Fast Startup can be turned back on following your reboot.

  • Fast Startup settings can be found by opening up the Control Panel, selecting Power Options, and then clicking Choose what the power buttons do.
  • In this menu, click Change settings that are currently unavailable?you may receive a User Account Control alert; accept this and continue?and Shutdown settings will then be available to edit.
  • Uncheck Turn on fast startup (recommended) and save changes.
  • To turn Fast Startup back on, repeat these steps and check the box.

Note, you will need to repeat these step every 49 days if issues persist.

 

 

Now, I need to work on the performance issues I was having. Game ran like absolute ass, and according to the thread on Neogaf, I am not alone in those issues. I will try some of the tips I read about fixing the massive dips, just have not gotten a chance to do so yet. It took me a good hour this past saturday night before I found the fix above, so that sucked as I planned on just playing that hour.

 

I have to say, I have yet to preorder the PC version, and that has everything to do with the issues I have had so far. I am hesitant to do so. Know that may be silly since it is a beta, but I have never had as many issues with a BF Beta as I have with this one.

 

This is also the one game I plan on double dipping and picking up for the consoles as well, and so far I am leaning towards the PS3 version just because it includes the code in box to upgrade to the PS4 version for $10. Apparently I can also do the same thing with the 360 version, but I would have to purchase the game from GameStop, and then go trade it in for $10 to get the One version. Have to admit the convenience of just getting a code to do the upgrade from PS3 to PS4 is such the better option. Just wish I have not read the not so positive previews for BOTH next gen consoles. With that said, the way I see it, the console version is just for the fun of playing. The PC version is for the fun of playing AND the eye candy. If I can get it running on my what seems to now be pretty dated 660 Ti.

I can't launch the game because the site doesn't recognize that the Battlelog Plugin is installed. Not sure where to go from here.

 did you try using another browser?

 

My game running so far so good, the only thing its crashed couple time in past week but it's in beta stage still.

Uninstall Plug In, restart computer and try installing back.

 

p.s: I'm using Chrome but it shouldn't matter

 

Got it to work with the stable FIrefox release; I was using the nightly before.

 

After about 2 minutes of loading, I was kicked due to a Punkbuster initialization error :(.

Try using the geforce experience center or AMD's equivalent to optimize your settings, and check for driver updates, nvidia's latest beta drivers boot performance of BF4 beta. Again, not sure about AMD, but I suspect they'll have some as well.

AMD doesn't have an equivalent yet, they're working on it.

    • The Light of Life? We actually do glow till our Death, study finds

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      The Light of Life? We actually do glow till our Death, study finds by Sayan Sen Image by Rafael Rendon via Pexels A study by researchers at the University of Calgary has found that living organisms produce an extremely faint light known as ultraweak photon emission, and that this glow appears to drop significantly after death. The research was published in the Journal of Physical Chemistry in April 2025 and quickly drew widespread attention, leading to more than 200 news stories about the findings. Ultraweak photon emission (or UPE), sometimes called biophoton emission, refers to tiny amounts of light released by living cells as a result of normal biological activity. A photon is the basic particle of light, and researchers say every living system examined so far, including plants and animals, has been found to emit these photons. The glow is far too faint to be seen by the human eye. “I suppose it has a little to do with people being reminded of auras,” says Dr. Christoph Simon, PhD, one of the authors of the study and a professor in the Department of Physics and Astronomy in the Faculty of Science. “It is a fact that living beings glow. It’s a very weak glow, but it’s there and visible with very sensitive cameras.” According to the study, the light involved is extremely weak, ranging from 10 to 1,000 photons per square centimetre per second across a spectral range of 200 to 1,000 nanometres. For comparison, a nanometre is one-billionth of a metre and is commonly used to measure wavelengths of light. Detecting emissions at such low levels requires highly specialized equipment. To study the phenomenon, researchers used electron-multiplying charge-coupled device (EMCCD) and charge-coupled device (CCD) cameras. These imaging systems are designed to detect extremely small amounts of light, including individual photons, while minimizing background noise. The technology allowed researchers to capture signals that would otherwise be impossible to observe. The team worked with the Human Health Therapeutics Research Centre at the National Research Council of Canada (NRC) in Ottawa to examine photon emissions in mice. Researchers took two-hour exposure images of the animals before and after death and compared the results. “We saw that the level of light that they emit – this biophoton glow – is distinctly different between living and dead animals,” says Dr. Daniel Oblak, PhD, an associate professor in Physics and Astronomy and the corresponding author of the study. The images showed a clear decrease in photon emissions after death across the entire body of each mouse. According to the researchers, this provided direct evidence that living and dead tissue produce different levels of ultraweak photon emission. “It’s a very small amount and it’s, of course, very tricky to detect,” Oblak says. The study grew out of discussions between Simon, whose research interests include quantum biology, and Oblak, whose work focuses on detecting light for quantum communication experiments. Quantum biology is a field that explores whether processes described by quantum physics, which studies matter and energy at very small scales, may also play a role in living systems. “Since I work as a quantum physicist on light detection for quantum communication, I thought that experimentally we have a lot of the tools to be able to detect the light,” Oblak explains. The researchers also investigated UPE in plants and found that the light changed in response to stress. When plants were exposed to higher temperatures or physically injured, their photon emissions increased. Chemical treatments also affected the glow. Among the substances tested, the local anesthetic benzocaine produced the strongest emission response when applied to injured plant tissue. These findings suggest that ultraweak photon emission is closely linked to biochemical and metabolic activity inside living organisms. Metabolism refers to the chemical reactions that allow cells and organisms to stay alive and function. Because these reactions change when an organism experiences stress, injury or disease, researchers believe UPE may provide a way to monitor those changes. The researchers stress that the glow is a physical and biological phenomenon, not a metaphysical one. Oblak says more research is needed to understand exactly how the light is produced and what information it may reveal about the condition of living tissue. “We must understand what that is to figure out what’s happening,” he says. “If we can understand how that relates to certain influences on the body – stress, diseases – then that could be used as a diagnostic tool.” The researchers believe the technique could eventually help scientists study health and disease without invasive procedures. Because UPE can be measured without adding dyes, markers or labels, it may offer a way to monitor whether tissue is healthy, damaged or alive. In plants, it could help researchers better understand how organisms respond to injury, heat and other forms of stress. While the work is still in its early stages, the study demonstrates that ultraweak photon emission imaging can provide a non-invasive and label-free way to observe biological activity. Researchers say the approach could become a useful tool for studying vitality, stress responses and other important processes in both animals and plants.

      Rufus 4.15.2393 Beta 2 by Razvan Serea Rufus is a small utility that helps format and create bootable USB flash drives, such as USB keys/pendrives, memory sticks, etc. Despite its small size, Rufus provides everything you need! Oh, and Rufus is fast. For instance it's about twice as fast as UNetbootin, Universal USB Installer or Windows 7 USB download tool, on the creation of a Windows 7 USB installation drive from an ISO (with honorable mention to WiNToBootic for managing to keep up). It is also marginally faster on the creation of Linux bootable USBs from ISOs. A non-exhaustive list of Rufus supported ISOs is available here. It can be especially useful for cases where: you need to create USB installation media from bootable ISOs (Windows, Linux, UEFI, etc.) you need to work on a system that doesn't have an OS installed you need to flash a BIOS or other firmware from DOS you want to run a low-level utility Rufus 4.15.2393 Beta 2 changelog: Add RISC-V 64 support to UEFI:NTFS Improve the guards for using the "silent" option Improve the ability to cancel during write retries Improve progress reporting for compressed image extraction Fix unrestricted XML entity expansion and integer overflow in ezxml parser (courtesy of @esadowski4) [GHSA-55r2-34wg-8mv9] Fix "silent" Windows installation failing at 75% in most cases [#2960] Fix a crash during boot when using UEFI:NTFS on Snapdragon X based ARM64 platforms [#2934] Fix the first WUE option always being checked by default [#2965] Fix an infinite loop when using Windows ISOs that contain multiple WIMs Fix "Enable runtime UEFI media validation" checkbox not always being properly enabled Other WUE improvements/fixes for OneDrive removal and username validation (with thanks to @christian8641) [#2984, #2991] Download: Rufus 4.15 Beta 2 | 1.9 MB (Open Source) Links: Rufus Home Page | Project Page @GitHub | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
    • Tixati 3.43

      By Copernic · Posted

      Tixati 3.43 by Razvan Serea Tixati is a free and easy to use BitTorrent client featuring detailed views of all seed, peer, and file transfer properties. Also included are powerful bandwidth charting and throttling capabilities, and a full DHT implementation. Tixati is one of the most advanced and flexible BitTorrent clients available. And unlike many other clients, Tixati contains NO SPYWARE, NO ADS, and NO GIMMICKS. Tixati portable version is meant to run on a USB flash drive or other portable media. It stores all its configuration files in the same folder as the executable binary files, and all file paths are stored in a format relative to the program executable folder. It is important you do not delete the "tixati_portable_mode.txt" file within the executables folder. This file is what triggers Tixati to run in portable mode. (The executable binaries are actually the same as the standard edition binaries.) When running the portable edition from a USB flash drive, especially one that is formatted in FAT16/FAT32, you may experience some lag when initially loading a new transfer. This is because initializing and allocating large files on flash-based media consumes a greater amount of time and resources compared to a conventional hard-drive. Tixati has the following features: detailed views of all aspects of the swarm, including peers, pieces, files, and trackers support for magnet links, so no need to download .torrent files if a simple magnet-link is available super-efficient peer choking/unchoking algorithms ensure the fastest downloads peer connection encryption for added security full DHT (Distributed Hash Table) implementation for trackerless torrents, including detailed message traffic graphs and customizable event logging advanced bandwidth charting of overall traffic and per-transfer traffic, with separate classification of protocol and file bytes, and with separate classification of outbound traffic for trading and seeding highly flexible bandwidth throttling, including trading/seeding proportion adjustment and adjustable priority for individual transfers and peers bitfield graphs that show the completeness of all downloaded files, what pieces other peers have available, and the health of the overall swarm customizable event logging for each download, and individual event logs for all peers within the swarm expert local file management functions which allow you to move files to a different partition even while downloading is still in progress 100% compatible with the BitTorrent protocol Windows and Linux-GTK native versions available Tixati 3.43 changelog: Several major DHT improvements Added several screening heuristics to filter malicious DHT nodes, prevent Sybil floods Rewrote DHT search algorithms to add support for multi-path lookups Improved DHT logging, more details in several error messages Extended timeout lengths for outgoing queries over I2P Added incoming query / response per second to DHT table status display Updated Regex engine to PCRE2 Faster Search function, scans
