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:

    • 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

      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.
