Well BF4 automatically puts in "optimal" graphics settings for you anyway. It may not be the highest that your card could do but for multiplayer its all about the fps. You dont want your frames dipping low when your going into to kill people cus then you die.

 

The latest beta driver from AMD is supposed to increase performance with BF 4 i think so try installing that. Im running 13.4 atm and it runs fine i might update me drivers soon

BF4's auto setting are no good for me, get about 35-40 on auto, nvidia's settings I get 55-65.

May be different for everyone else, but deff with a try if you're not getting great performance.

probably nvidias settings are setting the details lower to achieve better fps, only using a 1GB 6870 so was better than expected. will be getting a 280X and overclocking the doo dads out of it so ill be in the hundreds prolly hahaha

Oh yeh nvidia's settings are lower than on auto, my point was that nvidia's settings hit the magical 60fps whereas auto doesn't.

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.

Which browser?

 

I had the same issue (Firefox Aurora), and the problem turned out to be the default settings for the ESN plug-ins (two of them) - they were set to NOT load automatically; changing the settings to load automatically solved the problem (Windows 8.1 RTM x64 - yes, Aurora is my default).  BattleLog (and the ESN plug-ins) use your default browser, though it loads rgw plug-ins in ALL your browsers - if you launch from Origin it will use your default browser, but you can launch BattleLog from any browser.  If BattleLog has issues, check your plug-in settings.

I can't get myself to love the Graphics on the Xbox 360, but I'm dying to play it on the One.

 

Compared to other games like Gears of War, COD, and Halo, or even Medal of Honor, the recoil in BF4 is intense as hell, I'm not even sure if I'm even getting enough feedback when hitting players though.

The beta doesn't have the HD texture pack included on 360 the final will look a lot better, of course one will look even better.

I should have known. I wish it did, I'd be able to get a feel of who I'm shooting at.

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

They do actually. It's basically a rebranded Raptr that can optimise some of your games' settings. Very few are supported from the looks of it and I'm not sure if BF4 is among them since I don't have it installed any more.

It's not. Even BF3 isn't yet supported because of "This game does not yet have enough data from the AMD community to suggest optimal settings. Please check back soon."

I have played about an hour so far so I still need some gaming time. Plus my controls are not set up so that affects my game play. I have always played BF on PC and played the original, 2 and 3. I never played 2142 or whatever it was. I have not played console games since PlayStation.

 

1. I have some questions. The game graphics, at least the menus, have this wave or ripple go down the screen. I think it is a part of the game and its style or is my graphics messed up. Maybe it does it in the game but I can't remember at the moment. Do you get that?

 

2. So far I like the graphics like smoke, small objects floating around like the paper, and fire but everything else seems blockish. I know in an interview they were saying that they did not care so much about the best graphics but I feel textures could have been better. What do you think?

 

3. The map has a large feel to it but I still need some more game time. How do you guys feel about the map?

 

4. As far as game play. It does not feel like the previous games. It feels like a console game or something. When fighting another person to me it feels like whoever fires the gun first is going to win. I don't know how to explain it but I just don't like the feel of the game. What do you guys think?

Glad to report that the beta drivers and the latest patches have fixed all the issues I was having, I also just put all my settings to medium as right now for whatever reason EVGA Precision is not reporting my framerate so I just had to go on instinct, but today confirmed I will no doubt be picking up the PC version, as my aging PC can still handle it, even if it is not the best graphics, still looked pretty damn good to me.

 

The tanks really were put in this game for me, I just love the thrill of using them properly, and I can drive them just as good backwards as I can forwards. I do wish World Of Tanks was a better game overall.  :laugh:

 

I just love the fact I cannot play this game consistently yet still have decent rounds.

Battlefield will forever be the FPS I can always go back to no matter what. Have played it since the very beginning, and although there have been some major changes over the years, especially when comparing what it is today to 1942, I do feel as if the core game has never really changed all that much, which is why despite having very limited playing time over the years, I can still hop in a random match, and do decent enough I do not want to rage quit. There is no doubt, I also have a few negative rounds, but for the most part I always have decent rounds, and I believe that is a testament to DICE themselves. They have had to progress the series, but its essence still remains Battlefield.

 

In short, I think I will always love this damn series.  :wub:
