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.

    • Nothing kills CMF Phone 2 Pro's successor due to rising memory prices

      By Hamid Ganji · Posted

      Nothing kills CMF Phone 2 Pro's successor due to rising memory prices by Hamid Ganji Storage and RAM prices have been rising over the past year, leading to a significant increase in the cost of electronics for customers around the world. Many companies are now revising their plans for upcoming devices due to higher component costs and overall production expenses. CMF is the latest company to cancel the successor to one of its best-selling phones due to rising memory prices. CMF is a sub-brand of Nothing and focuses on making budget smartphones for growing markets. The brand launched the CMF Phone 2 Pro last year with some eye-catching specifications and an affordable price. While many customers may have been waiting for a successor this year, one of the company’s executives has announced that CMF will not release a new smartphone this year. And AI is to blame. As Nothing co-founder Akis Evangelidis announced on X, the company has been working on a successor to the CMF Phone 2 Pro, but with current memory prices, it cannot “build a phone that feels like a genuine step forward at a price that makes sense for CMF.” So, no new CMF phone will be launched this year. Meanwhile, Evangelidis said the company still has several new products in the pipeline, including some in entirely new categories. He added that the Nothing brand will also continue launching new products through 2026. Budget smartphones are among the first victims of the surge in RAM and memory prices, as they have become more expensive to build. The sharp increase in memory costs could also reshape the traditional price ranges associated with budget phones. Apple CEO Tim Cook also recently said that price increases for some of the company’s products are unavoidable because RAM and memory have become significantly more expensive this year. Analysts estimate that the base price of the upcoming iPhone 18 Pro could rise to $1,399 due to current market shortages.
    • Windows 11 gets new audio improvements in the latest builds

      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 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.
