We'll the graphics always look great on cutscenes and not as great (for me anyway) as the actual game itself.  Not impressed with single player campaign as I don't play Multiplayer. The AI and teammates are slow to react at times and in the first mission I'm waiting for one of my squad mates to get a locked door open on an upper floor while holding off these crazy Chinese militants and it takes the guy like 10-15 minutes to get the door open. Anybody else having issues with sending out the command (Q) for targeting and then attacking, either for the Cobra or ground. 

(Yes I also took into account my specs suck but I'm able to play at 1900x1800)

 

Take out the enemy faster then :P

He unlocks the door once you've cleared the entire area ;)

 

Saw quite a few glitches ie soldiers running through windows, ground turning to water etc.

However, MP - someone blew up a water tower and it flooded the streets! :D

Wait, so you bought this game for the campaign? What a waste of money... These games are not intended to have the campaign as the focal point. It merely shows you what Frostbite is capable of and gives at least some context as to why the game involves China.

I run Windows 8.1 Pro 64-bit and my hardware is a Z68A chipset, a i7 2600k and 16 GB of RAM. Graphics card is a 6970 from Gigabyte with 2 GB of RAM.

Battlelog and the plugins works just fine in IE11 with enhanced protected mode and 64-bit enhancement.

 

BUT!

The game crashes at random on the Shanghai map. Sometimes I can play a few rounds before it crashes.

I just played the Zavod map and the game crashed with a Direct3D error, "out of memory. Could not allocate more".

I recently reinstalled Windows 8.1 Pro and installed the latest stable drivers from AMD and Intel.

That's what I'm hearing but I don't understand why. I don't like playing online with a bunch of 15 year old's and getting killed after 5 seconds. Not good for my self esteem. I enjoy single player gaming.

Okay.. but BF is always about the multiplayer. The campaign is not touted as any major selling point. There shouldn't be any surprise here. It sounds like you just don't like BF and yet bought it anyway. Unfortunately it seems you wasted your money.

I like the SP in these games too but online really isn't that bad.  If you put some time into it and get some unlocks and get used to the flow of the game you'll do pretty decently.

 

If you have trouble with vehicle maps avoid them (I can do either way, but I still avoided them towards the end in BF3.)

This isn't CoD.... If you're playing on the PC you wont find as many 15 year olds...

same issue.

 

i got mine from Guru3d... the file it wants to download from AMD is 243MB but the file from guru3d is 240MB which works so go get that one

 

Still crash every so often but no where near as much at first with the new drivers. BF4 is looking awesome my 280x toxic max details and 1080 pulling in average of like 70-80 fps in single game and prolly more in multiplayer, forgot what it runs at

It's an OK game but nothing amazing.. The browser plugin wont work on my IE, i've been forced to download Firefox: downloading a browser i don't want to launch a GAME, i don't see the logic, massive fail.

 

Controller support is barely worth it, it's almost complete but missing critical controls that render it useless.. for example it can't be used to navigate menus, probably the easiest thing to include, 99% of games are capable of it that are much older... and considering it's already coded for XBOX, why couldn't they just include the exact same controls

 

Couple of weird glitches that need patching ASAP.

 

The campaign isn't as goos as BF3.

 

Bring on Ghosts.

Did you try installing it with Enhanced Protected Mode off?  IE11 is the first one to enforce that, could be messing with things.

I had same problem with bf3 with ie11.

 

I found this reg key from bf support forum.  This fixed my issue in IE11.  Although I am a Chrome/Firefox user, I have become fond of IE11.  Hope it helps you out.

I'm glad you mentioned this. Having the same issue. So after the pilot says "ready to engage" and you hit Q (whatever button you designate) it will mark the targets, soldiers, tank, helicopter and nothing happens. You just have the red mark above them. So after I mark targets I have to hit Q again to have the targets engaged by the pilot of ground troops. It's really glitchy for me and works sometimes and sometimes not. I think it depends on how clear of a path you have when marking ?

Tried the server and had some fun there. Good group of people that play there. Added to Favorites :)

 

It's being crapped out with all these DICE server patches.. They had us patch servers with R3 and R4 and they still crash like crazy.. currently there isn't a server right now that doesn't crash after a map or two.. It's completely ridiculous.

Whats the deal with picking a server, just so your friends are on the same? i currently just click play and i'm thrown into a game .. (pc gaming noob)

Some people prefer a certain mix of gameplay modes/maps, more for later when custom/rented servers come into play where the owner has more of an opportunity to adjust gameplay playlists.

    • Get $50 of aloSIM Mobile Data Traveler eSim credit for just $24.97

      By News Staff · Posted

      Get $50 of aloSIM Mobile Data Traveler eSim credit for just $24.97 by Steven Parker Today's highlighted deal comes via our Apps + Software section of the Neowin Deals store, where you can save 50% off aloSIM Mobile Data Traveler Lifetime eSim Credit: Pay $24.97 for $50. Stay connected affordably in 120+ countries/regions with your own lifetime eSIM! An eSIM is a digital SIM card. It's basically just mobile data. Once it's activated on your device, it can connect you to data networks in other countries – giving you an internet connection with NO roaming charges. With aloSIM, you can load prepaid eSIM data packages onto your phone, tablet, or computer. Your lifetime eSIM never expires, so it's yours forever and there are never any monthly charges. You'll get $50 in eSIM data credit, which is almost always enough to cover all your data roaming needs for a full year. But if you run out of data, you can always top up your lifetime eSIM and stay connected internationally. Pay $24.97 for a lifetime eSIM with $50 in travel data credit Use your eSIM to join data networks in 120+ countries Install your lifetime eSIM on a compatible device to roam on local data networks Your lifetime eSIM never expires, and can be topped up with more data anytime Many data packages cost as little as $4.50 and last 7 days. Depending on the package you choose, the length of time varies. Good to know Length of access: lifetime For NEW customers only Instant digital redemption Once you add your $50 credit to your aloSim account you have up to 12-months to use it — after that your credit will expire When you pay for a data plan you also get a free phone number (via Hushed) for the same duration of your plan that was purchased - IE 7 day eSim plan gives you a free 7-day phone number Purchased coupon must be redeemed and used within 12 months This deal is not stackable (one offer per aloSIM account) A $4.50 data package will last 7 days The data DOES expire, and you WILL NOT have any leftover data for your next trip unless it takes place within the validity period. While the eSIM never expires, the actual data package is only valid for the length of time stated at purchase (i.e. seven days after activation, 30 days after activation, etc.) So if you buy a seven-day package and only use a tiny bit, that package is still going to expire after seven days. Access options: mobile (check compatibility) Max number of device(s): 1 Updates included Here's the deal: This aloSIM Mobile Data Traveler eSim $50 Credit normally costs ... $50, but it can be yours for just $24.97 for a limited time, a saving of $25 (50% off).
