I'm getting the rainbow blur effect, it seems like it zooms in a tad for me to. Hit detection for me is terrible. I will get shot at run in side a building where no one is and still start taking hits and damage. Very odd. I decided to quit until they iron out these issue. Rarely I still get the game crashing with Direct X error as well.

I screwed up. Can someone (when they have a moment) post the original paths to the GDFBinary and InstallDir ? I messed with it to help reduce load times and messed it all up.

I tried changing it o this C:program Files (x86)Origin GamesBattlefield 4 ... but I forgot to back up.:ohwell:

Yeah it's pretty borked right now damnit. Just disconnected middle of a round with no message. Already was about to quit anyway due to the present visual bug. To me it looks like possibly it's the supression effect activating at random times. At least at the wrong times. And I am pretty damn sure I got hit and killed from well behind solid steel cover, sigh.

Anyone else's progress getting reset on servers this morning? Every server I join, my unlocks are reset and I have default kits. I can't even finish a full game. It has locked up three times now. I didn't have problems until recently.

And I am pretty damn sure I got hit and killed from well behind solid steel cover, sigh.

I quit my last game last night as I was getting killed with impossible shots through walls, sandbags and God knows what. Also I was emptying clips into people with no effect, and when someone else killed them a second later I was getting no Assist either. That round was completely messed up for me and I left as there was just no point in playing.

It wasn't a XM25 was it ? I had a few weird things happen last night too though.
Looks like the new patch was a FAIL !

There was supposed to be both a client and a server update, if I remember right, and I think that many servers have not been updated. How "stable" a server is, remains completely random.


I have found that playing after a fresh reboot works best for me, but late last night, many of us were playing together on the TS, and everyone got kicked out their servers at the same time...there must have been 8 different servers in my list on friends playing.

Perhaps guys trying to make cheats are hitting servers, and this is the result.

EA's servers are under too much stress for the weekend and they're making up excuses. It's sad that things only seem to be getting worse.

Yeah It was like a bomb got dropped. Everything crashed at once. TS and the game. We checked news to make sure there wasn't an attack. Thought maybe we were gonna get our first expansion pack free:D

Everyone should be updated to R10 as DICE did not list it as an optional update. All server owners are still saying that their servers are unstable though after R10, so I don't think DICE has fixed much.

Currently our server runs about 2 days before crashing. I restarted it last night, but with the ddos, it crashed late last night so we're only about 17 hours in from this post.
