I'm starting this thread to focus entirely on the x64 version of Battlefield 4, as it's a mainstream game, AND the first of the wave of x64-optional or x64-only (such as Watch Dogs) titles to become available.

 

First off, if you have the CPU and OS support, both executables show as shortcuts.

 

Second, even on low, the game looks quite good.

 

What do others think?

I had time to play for about an hour last night and it looked super nice on Ultra.  It was a little bit laggy on some of the servers, but that's to be expected on launch day.

 

I'm really glad I bought the physical disc version.  Having to download that beastly 26GB+ would have really sucked.

 

Now I just need to find some time to unlock the good sniper rifles.  :D

Not sure which to get. Beta ran fine on my PC. High. Could go ultra but too much on screen messes it up alittle.

Or 360. Seems kind of pointless though. Everyone will play 360 and x1 comes out and no one will play 360.

 

Nah, everyone will be on 360 for a while.. New consoles will be ghost towns for a while.  I fully expect long term supply chain issues for PS4 and X1 but microsoft seems to be promising huge shipments early, so we shall see.  (but lets be honest, ps3 and xbox one are over 80 million installs...  next gen won't be anywhere near that for half a decade)

You just pay $10 to upgrade to the next-gen version.

You know you could've just used the Battlefield 4 thread right?

 

Many games coming out this year and next are requiring x64.  I suspected it would happen with the new consoles releasing but I didn't think it'd be this quickly.

 

I'm surprised BF4 even has a 32 bit version at this point honestly, but whatever works.

The current BF4 thread covers consoles and Windows, and both bitnesses; I created this thread to focus specifically on the Windows x64 version, and for the reason you just stated - more and more games are going to follow suit (Watch Dogs, for example, will be x64-only).

 

Also, BF4 x64 has lower requirements (in terms of RAM or GPU) than Watch Dogs, and is a different genre altogether than Watch Dogs.  (I admit; I'll be very curious to see how Watch Dogs turns out, though.)

 

The biggest reason for the thread is to cover the state of the x64 game, and especially in terms of Windows, today, and how it got to the excellent state of the art as represented by BF4, from the horrible state it was in with the original Crysis.

How can i have exact same mouse speed as bf3, so i don't need to adapt?

Play around with the sensitivity settings. You'll be surprised at how easily you can find the setting you're used to. It'll just feel right.

 

Anyway, you guys might be interested in checking out TechSpot's Battlefield 4 benchmarks. You'll get a good idea of how well it runs on a variety of video cards and CPUs.

Even on my old rig I'm able to run at 1920x1080 frame rate with no issues, only struggles at cutscene at beginning of mission, horribly slow. 

Any of you guys have any issues with the tracking (Q button) of enemies or aircraft (Cobra). I can get get enemy targeted but difficult to engage. Also unable to configure my delete button.

    • Meta launches new AI glasses in 26 styles and Muse Spark multimodal capabilties

      By pradeepviswav · Posted

      Meta launches new AI glasses in 26 styles and Muse Spark multimodal capabilties by Pradeep Viswanathan Meta today announced a new line of Meta Glasses in partnership with EssilorLuxottica. The new AI glasses build on the company’s existing smart glasses portfolio, which is sold under the Ray-Ban Meta and Oakley Meta brands. The new Meta Glasses start at just $299, are compatible with prescription lenses, and will be available in 26 styles across different colors, lenses, and frames. At launch, Meta Glasses will be available in three frame styles. The Meta Adventurer features a clean rectangular design and comes in Standard and Large sizes. The Meta Fury is a bolder frame for users who want a stronger look. Meta Glasses by Kylie is a slim oval frame designed in collaboration with Kylie Jenner. Similar to existing Meta AI Glasses, the new Meta Glasses include a dedicated action button that can be used to quickly access Meta AI or launch a favorite feature. They also feature open-ear speakers for calls, music, and more. Meta has also included a multi-mic array with wind noise reduction for calls and messaging. Users can capture photos and videos hands-free using voice commands. Meta claims more than eight hours of battery life, while the portable charging case can provide up to 40 additional hours. As expected, Meta Glasses come pre-loaded with Meta AI powered by Muse Spark from day one. Muse Spark is the first model from Meta Superintelligence Labs with improved multimodal capabilities. The same Meta AI upgrade is also now available on existing Ray-Ban Meta and Oakley Meta Glasses in the US and Canada via an update. With the Muse Spark-powered AI assistant, Meta AI in the new glasses can provide smarter answers, understand what the user is seeing, and help with daily tasks such as calendar management and navigation. Meta also announced an upcoming feature called the dynamic photo feature, which captures multiple frames and recommends the best one. Pedestrian navigation is also coming soon to these glasses. Meta is also adding support for 14 new live translation languages, including Japanese, Mandarin Chinese, Hindi, and Korean. The new Meta Glasses are available starting today through Meta.com, Best Buy, Amazon, LensCrafters, Sunglass Hut, and select retailers.
    • Why you need to take back control of your synced passwords and how to go about doing that

      is that a personal preference? whether it is or isn't, i get where you're coming from. i try to get and use fully open sourced applications whenever i can but there are instances where i find a superior product that is closed sourced. in these cases i do my best to learn about the company, who operates it, their background, parent and sub structure etc. to some extent, depending on "the smell test". i really believe that Syncback is really and truly something great. even if you don't use it, it's always worth a recommendation to someone else, especially if that someone else is not very computer literate. for someone of your calibre you, you'll manage just fine with Syncthing, no doubt about it.

      I agree, especially if it is cloud sourced, like this one is.. but I wouldn't say no to a local AI assistant similar to the Zettlab one which would be really helpful with my large Photos library, but also to perform tasks like installing Docker apps rather than me having to do it via Docker Compose, but I don't think we're quite there yet. Synology Photos is somewhat AI, you can ask it to search for certain people (if you have tagged them and it will attempt to match similar photos to the person) and if you put a search term in for "cars" for example, it will show you all photos with a car.
