Any tips on how to quickly level up my sniper rifles so I can unlock the srr-61?  Currently using the 338-recon and doing Rush

 

Play hardcore, more chance of a kill and tbh is far more fun.

Play only decent sniper maps, you could also you a short scope x3 or similar.

I was playing Metro (confused how Second Assault is just now out? been playing for weeks) and all my guns, unlocks, vehicles etc were fine. I switched to play with a friend who doesn't have DLC to conq. Hainan Resort, everything was gone...everything. Not to mention I went 49-7 only to have that not recorded, just for fun..

Thanks DICE.

correction, only my rank was accurate.

I had this once before, things started unlocking randomly as I played. I then quit the server rotation, joined another and everything including load out setup was back.

I'm guessing this is somthing related to the lovely outage last night and it will all come back in time.

I thought I read something that there is an issue with some servers and ranks? I don't think they've been wiped, it's just a temporary server issue.

 

Happened to me several times, keep my rank but lose every single unlock I have, happened multiple times on PC, XB1 and PS4. When it happens I turn that system off and play BF4 on a different one.

You have the luxury of having 3 platforms...I don't think a lot of people will have that as well, haha!

I've not actually kept in the loop of BF4, but I saw some pictures of the BF3 maps on BF4 and it looks pretty good, now that the Titanfall beta is over I'm going to get back into it!

I loaded a different server and they came back luckily.

I am done with this game... 3 months after release and this thing still doesn't work. I crashed out twice and "lost connection to the server" three times last night. I was considering getting Premium in a few days but now I am so fed up with it, it will be lucky if it ever graces my Xbox's disk drive again.

The only issue I've had so far is the crash-to-desktop bug when you spawn in a squad-mate's vehicle. Aside from that, the game has been running great for me. I haven't had any issues with mantle but I had to rollback to the Catalyst 13.12 drivers because of a bug with the Catalyst Control Centre.

Addressing ?Netcode? in Battlefield 4

 

We at DICE are committed to improving the overall Battlefield 4 multiplayer experience for our players. Some issues, commonly referenced in conjunction to ?netcode? are preventing Battlefield 4 from performing optimally for everyone, and with this post we would like to explain what we are doing to address these problems.

 

Fixing the commonly nicknamed ?netcode issues? ? problems ranging between faulty networking latency compensation and glitches in the gameplay simulation itself ? is one of the top priorities for DICE. We?d like to take a moment to discuss how we are addressing these issues, as this is a very hot topic for many of our fans.

 

We are working on fixing glitches in your immediate interactions with the game world: the way you move and shoot, the feedback when you?re hit, and the way other players? actions are shown on your screen.

 

The game receives updates from the game server and displays these to the player using a system called latency compensation ? this system makes sure players move around naturally on your screen when network updates arrive. We have found and fixed several issues with latency compensation, and thereby decreased the impressions of ?one hit kills? in the game.

 

We have also fixed several issues that could lead to rubber banding, and we are working on fixing several more. Below you?ll find a detailed list of the issues we are focusing on, or have already adjusted in-game. We hope this gives you more insight into the ?netcode? issues and we will continue to keep you updated on top issues.

Not seen that issue on the X1 luckily although i did see for a split second a gun moving with an invisible player, other than that the game plays great atleast in team deathmatch.

Then you're lucky to be playing it on X1....opted for the PC version back when the game launched and for my "master race" credentials it appears i get the most broken version. As Ficman said, whenever DICE says they're fixing something, RUN.

This topic is now closed to further replies.

    • 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.

[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 :-).
