I have Battlefield 4 on Windows 8.1 but every time I try to join a server it just stays at joining server at the bottom with the battlelog plugin. Battlefield 4 never opens up. This is on Firefox. I am not using Internet Explorer.

Battlefield 4 Beta worked fine in Windows 8.1

 

Does anyone know what could be wrong?

Try rebooting. I had this issue when I first tried to launch it via Internet Explorer. Then I rebooted, and it has been fine ever since. You could also try reinstalling the plugin (uninstall via Control Panel, go to Battlelog and download/install the plugin again).

Laptop HDs throttle as they get hot.  You might try using a laptop cooler.

 

One if a Toshiba Qosmio (never gets hot, even after hours of gaming, the excellent cooling just has slightly warm air coming out. not acer burning hot), the other is set to have throttling disabled. loading isn't very demanding anyway.

Try launching Battlefield 4 from Origin.

With Battlefield 3, I had to do this every once in a while, otherwise Battlefield wouldn't launch from battlelog.

I'm crashing more now then before the 1GB patch. Forums are going nuts since last night.

 

I haven't actually paid full price for any game in my entire life, and the first time I do I can hardly play the game :/ No wonder people pirate, they get a working game 95% of the time and don't get screwed over.

China Rising - New weapons and gadgets:

 

Can't wait to get my hands on the SUAV and UCAV.

 

Nothing new or awesome for engineers? It's weird that so far in BF4 I've only played as an engineer. In BF3 I only played Assault.

Same here. With my x64 trick, I hadn't crashed in days. So far, crashed over 10 times today.

Not had a crash yet (touch wood) since the patch. 

 

Just played on a Canadian server (No UK/EU servers with people in them at 6:30am!) - did alright, for once! :D

Got a lot of ribbons and awards on that, for my vehicle support :D

 

Key moment, on the level with the big buildings with lifts... running around the corner and into the ground floor lift only to see 3 enemy soldiers in there. Queue me legging it out (alive) and them going up in the lift :p

 

I then stupidly waited for the lift and went up to get them. Queue them all guns pointing on the lift door and I got killed, movie style :p

So guys, I'm hoping to finish War Games Battlefield system in the next week or two and I will need some help testing things out.

 

The idea behind War Games Battlefield is to have 2 sides (Widowmakers vs Roughnecks) that battle each other and based on soldier/squad performances on both sides these armies get points from all players on that side . Players register to one side, can create squads, invite their friends and other registered users to join their squads and as you play on the server you gain points for your squad, for yourself and for your side. The server has (I am about half way through coding) full rankings that tie into the site and stats and will track stats for registered War Games soldiers.

 

Every week there will be special scheduled War Zone events where both sides organize 32 players on each side (8 squads) and fight over specific objectives (maps) through different modes. Users will register for the event on the side and the server will only let those registered users in. The winning side of those events gets extra points and can turn the tide of War Games.

 

These events will be streamed live from a spectator mode. Your profile will include both Battlelog information as well as War Games information. Best squads and biggest contributors will be featured along with cool YouTube videos from the best War Games players. 

 

I need a few people if you have time where we can connect to the server and test out server software, help me test the War Games site and other things. If you are up for it, let me know. I will be releasing a Chrome extension that will completely and seamlessly integrate with Battlelog and you will get another option in the Battlelog menu labeled WAR GAMES where you can quickly see top players, top squads, current War Zone (map on the server), both armies scores and who's winning and your own rank on War Games. 

 

If you are up for it, please PM me.

 

Here's what it will look like (when the site launches) - brief overview

I thought BF4 was supposed to support dual monitors, with the 2nd monitoring being used for the map? Anyone else recall that?

You're thinking about the battlescreen. A feature in battlelog, which you can open on your second monitor while the game running on the first.

That's what I do.

The game is still broken 3 weeks after release -- on all platforms. I think it's very suspicious that there is absolutely _NO_ media coverage about this travesty. This is the last Battlefield game I am ever buying.

I dunno, but it's working fine for me.sure I have the occasional crash. Up nothing major. Even before the patch I could play fine for hours, the crashes I did have then where usually 1-3 in a row when I started the game.

Doesn't work in hardcore though.

 

:angry:

I wish they would have a hard core guns mode. Plays like regular mode, but life/gun power is like hard core.

A lot of the stuff they remove in Hardcore mode doesn't make sense to remove since it would be there in reality in the sense of battlefield awareness in the soldier. And no compass ("helicopter to your east" anyone....) and tagging doesn't make sense without future soldier HUD system or wearable wrist gps map.

I also wish they would remove the function that automatically puts people in squads. Like in BF3 it just ruins the squad system, instead of people in the squads being there because they actively joined one because they want to cooperate. You get a bunch of lone wolf idiots who run around like headless chickens and squad leader who don't know what issuing orders means.

Seems to be more stable for me today. No crashes, and I was getting them every 10mins prior to today.

Only big bug Im getting still, is the sound cutting out and in when in vehicles.

 

Has there been a new patch overnight or something?

    • 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.
    • Windows 11 version 26H2 is now available for testing in the latest preview build

      By TarasBuria · Posted

[Start menu] - Also available in Beta Improved reliability of Start menu reflecting newly installed or removed apps without requiring sign-out or restart. [Taskbar] Fixed an issue for Insiders using the new smaller taskbar option, where the system tray might get cut off or pushed off screen. [Settings] - Also available in Beta Improved reliability of Settings > Apps > Startup. [Virtualization] - Also available in Beta This update addresses an issue that could result in bugchecks citing HYPERVISOR_ERROR (0x20001) and KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED (0x1E) errors after installing the latest flights on some devices during system restarts, virtual machine operations, or while running some gaming applications. You can find the official changelog for the Experimental build here and for the Beta build here.
    • 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 :-).
