Actually I did a nice 20-6 in Altai Range (that is probably my best in that map)

I just got off and had the exact same audio issue Haru had. No sound except a random explosion and the game end music. They screwed it up again.

No problems here, plays the same as it did before the patch. For better or for worse, I suppose.

I was on Haian on TDM. Not sure if that had anything to do with it. Played Zavod on Conquest no prob either.You can still shoot choppers out of the sky thank goodness. I got 2, but of course the SOB's jumped before they blew up.Got all kinds of goodies in BP's with Premium that was sweet. They totally screwed up my order on Amazon and ended up getting it for free and they are refunding me 23 bucks for an overdraft because they took it out of the wrong account. I'll live with that.

I think the warning that you're being shot is better then it was. It doesn't feel like all the bullets reach you at once.

Did this patch include the all the gameplay tweeks? If so, active AA missiles are still way too easy. Lancang Dam and Golmud Railway I just wrecked the other side. I still think I'd used the 20mm over the 30mm for the mini gun. The 30mm just overheats way too quick to be of much use. I run active AA, 20mm, active protection, zoom, and autoloader. Does not matter if they only give you 4 active AA missiles, with the autoloader it works out to be pretty good. Only time I noticed I had to wait is when I would take out 2 targets pretty quick. By the time I get to the third I was having to wait a little for the missiles to show up.

On both those maps I moved up to almost be in the middle of the map. I garnered a lot of hate in those rounds.

Also I saw it asked on Reddit and while they did fix the SRAW/Igla double missile thing, with the SRAW you can still fire past a target, pick up the next one, and as long as you don't fire it then you can still have the missile come back on the target you marked.

I would honestly not complain if they completely removed the maa... Air is just not fun with the maa plus half the map being engi's with manpads

Completely agree. I unlocked the 30mm few days ago and I don't like it...

Problem I think with removing stuff is there are usually some kind of assignment tied to it. I think they need it any way or the map becomes way unbalanced. I can see your frustration , but getting raped an entire match by helo's can be equally as frustrating. Of course I was doing a pretty good job keeping them off my teams back last night with the Stinger. Didn't they already shut down the Stationary AA's though ? I can't use them.

 

[Wrigleyvillain]

So I can't tell from the comments if I should be excited to play again tonight or not…

Seems it's the same deal--some people have major issues while others have none.

Edit: Seeing mention that audio issues may only be on TDM can anyone confirm/deny?

I can't because I only played 2 rounds last night. I'm getting into the mechanized game play
lately I'll look for you tonite Wrig. I have to go give my sons dog her shot's in the evening, but
should be on about 9'o'clock Chi-town time. If you do get that audio issue it sucks. Playing def
sucks. I went like 3 and 11 because I couldn't tell where anyone was until I was dead more less.

 

[Wrigleyvillain]

So you did get the audio issue…and I infer you were not playing TDM. So you can "deny"…?

 

[boise49ers]

Yes I got it on Hainan on TDM ! No issue on Zavod Conquest. I haven't really found a map I like for TDM on BF4 so far.
Not like BF3 I had 3 I really liked. Canal's, Seine, and Ziba.

 

[broken pixel]

Yes I did. I still think its OS related (drivers or something) and not the game. Your issue isn't common a one. Something isn't playing right with BF4. In the sprit of your issue, do you mine digital currency on the same computer as you play BF4? Do you torrent? Do you run any bootleg software (without detail please).

I mine digital currency and there is no issue as I do not keep wallets on my gaming rig. The only program I use to connect to pools is cgminer. I have been mining for years on my main computer with no issues or infections from any of my miners.

No torrents, all my games haven been purchased, no hacked games, keygens on my box.

All my drivers are current for my R4BE from ASUS download page for my X79 chipset, etc. BIOS is up to date.

Before the second patch BF4 only had a the CPU spikes during the begining of the map and they would stop after about 5 min of game play.

If you turn on the overlay via the console you will see CPU spikes yet they will be small and are not as noticable or noticable at all for you.

If you look at DICE posted screen shots with they overlay graph enabled you will see small CPU spikes.

My computer runs fine, no BSODs or freezes, IBT stable for many passes on max memory.

For some the game runs fine, for others it does not. I for one am the user that does not have solid BF4 game play but all my other games installed on my computer work.

It's a Broken Pixel

 

[the54thvoid]

Hmm...

I've had two hard crashes in the past few days. Been stable for months. One was a crash to reset, other was a hard crash with frozen screen. I hope Dice aren't making the game more unstable now. Any AMD guys getting crashes?

EDIT: reads the above posts, yup....

Yeah, after the last patch I was forced to update my drivers or the game wouldn't work. Afterwards I did get one crash in between maps.

 

[HammerON]

I have not had any issues since the latest patch...

 

[brandonwh64]

I cannot deploy... At all, It loads the game to the spawn screen and then nothing works. I cant click anything. I have already tried the new punk buster still no luck

 

[Crap Daddy]

Everything's fine here.

 

[boise49ers]

No it isn't. I just played another TDM. NO audio. Suckage.

 

[HammerON]

Yep - there appears to be quite a few TPU members that are having major issues and a couple that don't.
That would lead me to believe that this was a pretty screwed-up patch

 

[Bow]

Played for 2 hrs last night and no problems

There's a chance it could be to do with the CPU usage. Was the (or a) recent patch not also intended to optimise core usage? If that's the case, people like me running a fairly high gaming overclock (specific to their CPU) might start to see a little weakness with those clocks for BF4?

I played a few matches last night in as commander and normal conquest.

The patch caused increased "rubberbanding" and delayed mouse input problems. Basically, my M416 was shooting and zooming in/out on its own!

Not a good patch so far.

 

[hippogriff]

Do you know any good guide regarding heli/planes driving?

By the way, played like 4 hours yesterday night and I had no problems at all
