Basically out of BF4 on the PC for the moment because it's just no stable enough and the hit detection is horrid.

 

COD Ghosts might be a copy paste effort with some new guns and maps but at least it doesn't crash and bullets seem to go where you intend them to (at least for me)

So My new 840 Evo allows me to 95% of the time load the map and start first, So i can normally get to the first Point on Rush and plant and i call this ' SSD Rush ' , if it catches on you heard it here first.

Ive actually stuck with the first Assault rifle

AK-74M

as Medic Class and have a suppressor attachment now, not amazing but ok till something decent comes along.

I tried to lower my graphics to see if the lighting and shadows are gone for better visibility but they are still there. I guess I just suck then. lol

 

By the way I have an NVidia card and my friend has an ATI and he gets more crashes then me. Either I am lucky or the drivers suck for ATI.

Most SSD players have a similar experience.  You'll note there're usually somewhere around 5-10 players loading up fast and the rest lagging behind.

Yeah, they probably need to increase the wait time before matches start. I don't even have BF4 installed to my SSD and I still usually load faster than most and can have my choice of vehicle before others even load lol.

I'd hate that.  It wouldn't make sense IMO when more and more people are getting SSDs.

I think it's a nice reward for keeping up-to-date with PC tech.   :D

It's always been like this in the PC world and I feel it's completely fair.

In the case of Rush, as mentioned above, it actually breaks things though when people that load in quickly can just destroy an mcom before anyone's even loaded in. In CQ it isn't as big of a deal though.

I suppose that's true I just don't play anything but conquest so I'm not really aware. Still though, I don't like the idea of artificially slowing my load times.

Hello,

I just started BF4 and now I'm in the open field (to reach the factory).

There is a helicopter standing by.... constanty stating "ready to engage, give me a target".

But how do I do that/which key combination do I have to use?

 

Help appreciated ;)

Q to spot enemies for it and your team.

kiddingguy, please mark HoochieMamma's answer as Solved as he solved your question :)

What did you use to take the screenshots?

 

FRAPS

 

It's 64 on both X1 and PS4

 

Damn, that's upping my temptation to get one, and BF4 on it too. I do so much better with a controller over keyboard/mouse.

How? Controller is way way slower and more clunky, seems counter intuitive to me!

 

But everyone is on the same level of control. Would be different if you had controllers vs K/M.

 

A lot of console gamers have a hard time keeping up with PC gamers on their own turf :P

I was playing a bit last night gunning for someone in an infantry fighting vehicle and I swear he must have been using a controller or something was terribly wrong. He would try shooting another tank just 20 feet in front of us and he would constantly overshoot left or right. Like, he would move the turret to the left or right and start shooting as the turret's moving but he would go to far and only half his "magazine" actually hit the target. If that's how controllers play, I want no part of that :p I want precision control.

Yeah, its ugly, simply due to input capabilities, Microsoft showed this when they tested FPS's concerning Controller vs Mouse/Keyboard for either original Xbox or Xbox 360s early days and shut that project down quick, wasn't even a contest.

    • Microsoft confirms Windows 11 26H2, urges IT admins to prepare for release

      By Usama Jawad96 · Posted

      Microsoft confirms Windows 11 26H2, urges IT admins to prepare for release by Usama Jawad Windows 11 typically follows an annual update cycle, but Microsoft recently broke that tradition a bit by releasing a "26H1" version in the first half of this year as a "scoped" build for select new silicon PCs only. This version was not available for customers using 24H2 and 25H2 builds, as Microsoft is busy preparing version 26H2 for them, confirmed officially for the first time. In a Windows IT Pro blog, Microsoft has urged IT admins to prepare for the upcoming release of Windows 11 version 26H2. The company has confirmed that this will be a small enablement package (eKB) that will simply light up certain disabled features that are already present in the operating system's code base. This means that the "refined" Windows update and deployment experience will be simpler and quicker, with minimal disruptions, as the feature update will simply toggle a few flags rather than performing a complete replacement. Microsoft has explained that this is all possible because the standard Windows 11 releases share the same servicing branch and hence, the same source code. However, this also means that Windows 11 26H1 users won't be able to upgrade to 26H2 as that is a different branch, but this is something we have known for a while now. Similar to previous annual feature updates, Windows 11 26H2 will offer the following support cycles: 24 months of support for Home, Pro, Pro EDU, and Pro for Workstations editions 36 months of support for Enterprise, Education, IoT Enterprise, and Enterprise Multi-session editions Microsoft has not confirmed a concrete release date for Windows 11 26H2, but noted that it is "coming soon". If we go by the ongoing release cadence, we can expect it to begin rolling out in early October 2026. As such, IT admins have been encouraged to begin validating Windows Insider releases in the Experimental Channel, plan rollout rings, and strategize the utilization of their existing deployment tools.
    • Windows 11 gets new audio improvements in the latest builds

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      Windows 11 gets new audio improvements in the latest builds by Taras Buria Today's Experimental builds (26H1 and Future Platforms, formerly Canary) pack several audio-related improvements. If your device is enrolled in the Experimental Channel (26H1), you can download build 28120.2315, while those in the Future Platforms version have build 29613.1000 to try. Here is what is new in build 29613.1000: [Audio] Following up on our previous improvements, we’re making some more adjustments to Settings > System > Sounds based on your feedback. Namely, we’ve updated the “All sound devices” page so: You now have the ability to change default devices from this page. Each of the devices displayed on this page now has a little volume meter next to it to show if there is audio actively playing. We’ve adjusted the page design slightly so now you can filter whether you’re viewing input or output devices. We’ve added toggles so you can choose if you want to hide or show disabled, disconnected, and unplugged devices on this page. We’ve also updated the input and output audio properties page for devices in Settings to now include jack information for those that need it. And here is the changelog for build 28120.2315: This update includes a small number of minor bug fixes and improvements. [Accessibility] This update improves caption style responsiveness by redrawing captions immediately for caption style changes. If no current caption is visible, a sample caption string is displayed. [Audio] This update improves the reliability of the inbox HD Audio driver. You can find the official release notes for build 28120.2315 here and for build 29613.1000 here.

      I agree with what I think you are saying, just not in the way you are saying it. Like any tool, the amount it represents your work is perorational to the effort you put into it. It is similar to why 2nd grade math students learning to add and subtract are not allowed to use calculators, but a high-school calculous student is. For the 2nd grader, that tool would completely replace the work they are doing, for the calculous student the same tool allows them to work far more effectively while in no way replacing their effort or knowable. If you spend 30 seconds writing a prompt, then the image that comes out is no more "yours" than if you found the same image with a Google Image search. However, many of these generative tools also support highly iterative processes that allow back and forth, and merging generated images with photos or human created images. I am sure you would agree that a human spending hours of time working on a project, even if AI was involved in the process, still reflects that human's work.

    • We now know when and how the Universe may truly end

      By sphbecker · Posted

      I've always preferred this possibility. There is something that feels good about the idea that all matter in the universe will eventually come back together and maybe even result in another big bang. The idea that the universe would fizzle out over the eons and forever drift apart is a little depressing. I realize it is not logical to let a basic human desire for life to have a grand everlasting meaning change the way I feel about a scientific theory, but I am human, so that is how I feel :-).
