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:

    • Microsoft finally admits its default Windows 11 25H2, 24H2 action broke key legacy component

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Microsoft finally admits its default Windows 11 25H2, 24H2 action broke key legacy component by Sayan Sen Microsoft last week released Windows 11 KB5094126 and KB5093998 as the latest Patch Tuesday updates. Following that the company also published the accompanying dynamic updates under KB5094149, KB5095971, and KB5094156. So far the company has acknowledged two known issues that have popped up after the release which include bugged-out Office apps as well as the Recycle Bin; though there could be more at play too. Speaking of bugs and issues, Microsoft seems to have finally acknowledged a problem that probably has been around for close to a year. That's because back in July of 2025 the company made a default change to the latest Windows 11 versions, wherein it switched to JScript9Legacy on Windows 11 24H2 and later releases. Hence following the release of version 25H2 in October 2025, JScript9Legacy also remained default-enabled. As a result there has been a compatibility issue ever since then. For those wondering, by switching to JScript9Legacy Microsoft intended to improve the security of modern Windows PCs by reducing vulnerabilities tied to legacy scripting like cross-site scripting (XSS), among others. XSS exploits can allow cyber-attackers to attach malicious code onto legitimate websites and use them to execute the code when a potential victim loads such a website. Hence the new JScript9Legacy engine enforced stricter execution policies and improved object handling, which should help mitigate such attacks. Microsoft today has published a new support article detailing the problem. Neowin spotted it while browsing. The company says that JScript global definitions and execution context may fail to persist across scripts, potentially breaking older dependent apps and web-based components that relied on this legacy behavior. In the article Microsoft has confirmed that the issue stems from its move away from the older jscript9.dll engine in favor of jscript9legacy.dll. As mentioned above, while the newer engine was designed to address vulnerabilities and strengthen security it also changes how JScript handles execution context. As a result functions and definitions loaded by one script could no longer remain available to subsequent scripts once execution ended. The company notes that some applications worked correctly on earlier Windows versions because the older JScript engine automatically retained global definitions and execution state between scripts. Under the newer model though that behavior is disabled by default causing certain legacy workloads and polyfill-dependent scripts to fail. Microsoft says it addressed the problem via the KB5077241 update though the fix had not been enabled automatically in the following updates. As such admins must explicitly turn on persistent JScript execution context using a Registry setting that the tech giant shared today. The configuration can be applied to individual processes or system-wide through the FEATURE_ENABLE_PERSISTENCE registry key. The steps have been outlined below: Run the following command to create the feature control registry key: reg add "HKLM\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\FeatureControl\FEATURE_ENABLE_PERSISTENCE" Under this key, create a new DWORD (32-bit) value. Configure the value as follows: To enable persistence for specific processes only: Set the value to 1 for each target process name. To enable persistence for all processes: Add * as the key name and set its value to 1. You can find the official support article here on Microsoft's website.

      VidCoder 12.20 by Razvan Serea  VidCoder is a DVD/Blu-ray ripping and video transcoding application for Windows. It uses HandBrake as its encoding engine. Calling directly into the HandBrake library gives it a more rich UI than the official HandBrake Windows GUI. VidCoder can rip DVDs but does not defeat the CSS encryption found in most commercial DVDs. You’ll need the NET 8 Desktop Runtime. If you don’t have it, VidCoder will prompt you to download and install it. The Portable version is self-contained and does not require any .NET Runtime to be installed. You do not need to install HandBrake for VidCoder to work. Feature list: Multi-threaded MP4, MKV containers Completely integrated encoding pipeline: everything is in one process and no huge intermediate temporary files H.264, H.265, MPEG-4, MPEG-2, VP8, Theora video Hardware-accelerated encoding with AMD VCE, Nvidia NVENC and Intel QuickSync AAC, MP3, Vorbis, AC3, FLAC audio encoding and AAC/AC3/MP3/DTS/DTS-HD passthrough Target bitrate, size or quality for video 2-pass encoding Decomb, detelecine, deinterlace, rotate, reflect, chroma smooth, colorspace filters Powerful batch encoding with simultaneous encodes Customizable Pickers to automatically pick audio and subtitle tracks, destination, titles and more Instant source previews Creates small encoded preview clips Pause, resume encoding VidCoder 12.20 changes: Updated HandBrake core to 1.11.2.
