I'm good thanks. Yeah the sale has me very tempted, it's what I have been waiting for more or less, but I am still a little bit on the fence. I suppose I could probably get a refund if I happen to experience bad matchmaking issues...

Yeah Dragon Valley is nice. BF4 runs like a dream these days.
I just seen it was released today. Gonna have to jump on and check it out tonite.
Running Surround screen now. Has me gaming more lately. Actually playing MW3
Campaign the last couple days. Got the game for $10 a couple months ago. Does this update have Nashahr Canal's too ?

Played some Dragon Valley at 3am when I couldn't sleep until I had to go to work. MMM the nostalgia. I miss blowing up commander assets and such, but I think the map translated pretty well to BF4.
Hehe, it was fun last night, great map, although the original was wider, right? or just less trees...
Yeah, far less foliage, simpler buildings and drastically less draw distance in BF2. Being able to actually see all the way across the map makes it feel a lot smaller.

Is any one experiencing lag problems with Dragon Valley?

I've not been able to play yet, but there were people complaining on the server last night about lag problems. Some said it was the map, but the complaints went away once the player count dropped so I'm not sure. Was just wanting a second opinion.

Server it was being hosted on probably can't handle a certain amount of players on that map. Is the tick rate higher than 30? That's probably what the issue is.

So in BF3 I was a total Canal player. So glad they brought it back and it looks amazing.

Came back to this game after a solid year+ break.. Enjoying it more than I remember, not crashing every 25 minutes is nice. Same old gripes exist with some things, #1 being I love hardcore but hate how any big map on hardcore becomes a sniper fest.

I had this happen to me. The solution I had to use was uninstall Origin and delete every registry key relating to origin(use caution). This issue was caused by switching game install location for when I added another SSD. After that things have been much better.

Server it was being hosted on probably can't handle a certain amount of players on that map. Is the tick rate higher than 30? That's probably what the issue is.

Sadly that was my assumption since the complaints went away with a lower player count. Yes my server is a 60hz server.
