Maybe you could invest your time better: learn some basic english. Rubbish are your typing skills, not someone elses posts.
For quick grammar reference, see my signature.

Another thing that might increase your life quality is therapy. Paranoia is not a healthy perk to have.

P.S. Do hackers also hack your mouse and keyboard?

Looks like shit player skills or clumsy fingers rather than hackers around every corner as a reason why you keep losing to me.

Also, the last sentence in your signature needs some editing. Ends with one what? Period, exlamation point, question mark? What is a "...ONE full stop!" "...ends with one, full stop!"? Then again, sentences don't end with a capital letter.

no your talking rubbish... if your playing and you get killed from around a corner or you cant seem to get any kills. you need to leave that server. re enter in spectator mode and check the other team. report everyone hacking.
they get a warning and stat reset then they are banned permanently.

the hackers basically troll everyone who complains...
but I paid good money and all I ask for is that the hackers are at a lower lvl like in bad company 2 and ive played every bf game from the very beginning.

ive gone from winning every few rounds to coming bottom... but I don't accuse someone before ive seen it in spectator mode. if youd like me to make a video in fraps then that can be arranged.
people are now catching on and the hackers are being banned one by one.

the trolls can go s@ck a d@ck...
Hey trolls are people too.

Oh, look at you, making a regional insult because "American" is a thing, which it's not. Congratulations.
The last time I heard, and used, Full Stop is for radio communications. Also, technically, if you're putting emphasis on something you just italicize, not put it in all caps. But, I'm assuming you're using Blogese and not proper English. If you bothered to read the first paragraph, it even says the American adoption is "more traditional" than the British adoption of Full Stop. "At some point during the 20th century, common usage diverged, with British English adopting "full stop" as the more generic term, and American English preserving the more traditional usage."

Either way, it's the dumbest thing to argue about. I think people learning English, or using it, would universally recognize "period" while "full stop" may be a bit more esoteric. At least it wasn't in all caps.

I fully agree it's very dumb. I'm not the one who started nitpicking about words, friend. Feel free to expand on it even further, but I'm not playing your games with you :)

What the hell is all this "full stop" talk? Its got to be a Euro thing because "full stop" in the states means you come to a complete stop at an intersection. If you don't do a full stop the cops will give you a ticket. Other than that I have no clue WTF yall are talking about or should the sentence go "I haven't a clue of which the subject matter the people above my forum post are referring to. FULL STOP".

I can't tell if that KPM is bad or not. I don't play often anymore, but my goal has always been to get at least 100 kills with every weapon.

KPM is highly dependent on preferred game mode. mine are a lot higher but I play a lot of domination and TDM. I'm also going for 100 kills with every weapon. here's my progress.

I enjoy this more than I did BF3, so that's my vote, but you'll hear it both ways around here.
its best to ignore theMailmain. you'll live longer.

That is true however it does not explain sub 10% accuracy ;)
Take mine for instance, it clearly shows that I play engi on different gamemodes than assault/support, however my accuracy is just the same.

Bad players just need to get over the fact that they're being outplayed.
The gap between best and worst is so big in online FPS games that it almost automatically results in hackusations.

It is the stats that make a gun awesome.
It is not like DICE bases the bullet spread, bullet speed, reload times, etc. on real data.

All I know is in BF3 I tend to be in the top 3 players for the round and in BF4 I am around the 50th percentile for the round. Cain, try BF3, its the same game anyway.

It wasn't that complicated :p
I just meant to say people like a gun just because of the weapon handling, and guess what all that is based on variables defined by DICE.
It is not the weapon skin, sound and name that make a gun awesome, that is why I am always baffled to why people beg for a certain weapon to be added to the game.

Hey fellas, a guy joined our TS, somebody sent him to ask me and the UK Clubhouse members teamspeak for some help with a BF4 error, needless to say there wasn't much I could do but offer some simple advice.
Not sure on specifics of his system, but he's running 650ti's in SLI, and gets a "DirectX GPU device hung" error and the game crashes.

He's done fresh installs, cleaned drivers, tried different drivers, and even been through and done heuristic tests on all parts of his hardware, even tested single cards. He's done something in the registry to do with TDR Delay, which solved his issue for a day or so, but the problem has come back. It's of my understanding that TDR delay edits in the registry don't hide the problem, but hide the symptoms.
I sent him this:

"in the battlefield 4 install folder make user.cfg file and edit it with notepad.

Insert and save:
///
RenderDevice.Dx11Enable 1
RenderDevice.Dx11Dot1Enable 1
RenderDevice.Dx11Dot1RuntimeEnable 1

/////

Well I found that graphics driver got really high frame rate sometimes like 160 fps and crashed
<20:48:09> "RCoon": Driver apparently can not show framerate produced by game.
This causes device hung.

Just limit it to lower value like 60 -> GameTime.MaxVariableFps 60
I set to medium settings.

You should see in the right top corner real Framerate per second if you did it right. Set to PerfOverlay.DrawFps 0 if you dont want it anymore. It was quite useful for me."


Not sure if it will solve his problem. He said he'd go check, and report back on our teamspeak. I recommended he come here and ask your collective BF4 knowhow to find a solution.

This causes device hung.

Just limit it to lower value like 60 -> GameTime.MaxVariableFps 60
I set to medium settings.

You should see in the right top corner real Framerate per second if you did it right. Set to PerfOverlay.DrawFps 0 if you dont want it anymore. It was quite useful for me."


Not sure if it will solve his problem. He said he'd go check, and report back on our teamspeak. I recommended he come here and ask your collective BF4 knowhow to find a solution.


1. Have him throw away the cgf file (after a backup) and when he starts BF4 again the .exe should make a new cgf file. See if that fixes his issue. A corrupt cgf. can do this kinda crap.

2. If not have him turn on V-Sync.

3. Reinstall his graphic drivers. However when he does make sure he clicks on "Custom Install" and does a clean installation. This will remove and replace all SLI profiles and possibly corrupt driver components. Just make sure he remembers to turn SLI back on when he does this.

@OneMoar , as you sent the recommendation, I'll let you relay the information.
