Have been playing a lot of BF4 again recently after a good absence.....such an incredible game! I liked Hardline but after 30 hours I got bored - it is basically BF4 with a new skin to be fair in most modes, though Hotwire is brilliant, the one part of the game that stands head and shoulders above the rest.

I received my PC the other day, I set up everything to play, however I realized yesterday that I have no sound on my system! There is an issue with Win10, they knew it from May release (10130) and is still exists on final!
I am looking for support in Creative's forums

Is there much difference in server / game performance in the CTE over the vanilla non CTE game?

Wizard!

In performance no, except the fact that on CTE are less players and the servers (from the hardware point of view) are strong enough to sustain the players without lagging. Usually game host companies, overload the servers up to 150% of their capacity because "not all servers are full at the same time". However, sometimes servers are almost full and capacity exceeds 100%. You will not see that on CTE or any other DICE server.

Thanks . I'll just be happy with the less lag part to be honest

Are other people noticing serious hacking problems with BF4 lately?

Every 2nd server I join in the past week or so has some low level player with 50 - 1 K/D. It's getting really frustrating, and makes me not want to bother playing the game anymore.

It was perfectly fine until just very recently it seems to have become an issue.

Wizard!

Choose your servers more carefully.
Many servers are online without admins. Either they do not play to much anymore (BF4 is 2 years old), either they play BFH.

Saw a huge number of hackers about a month ago. Literally every game I played. As soon as I see obvious hacks I stop spawning and spam the chat telling people not to spawn till the looser hacker leaves.

I've switched to playing Rush for the moment, conquest is rife with it.

Will never understand how people are so pathetic they have to cheat like that.

Of BF3 a far better game than either but yes your 100% correct about admins and servers.

I cannot agree 100% on that. BH is out of the picture. For me is just another DLC.
However, for BF3, I could say there are things I liked more, but also there are some in BF4. Also, BFBC2 has some great things to like, mostly the sound, I think the atmosphere makes you feel more in a battlefield than with BF3/4, I like ghillie suits, cause a sniper cannot be visible. Melee in 4 sucks. Revives in 3 are bad. I love spectator mode in 4. Classes are more balanced in BC2... And so on... :rolleyes:

The problem in 4 is that they did not have a plan. They designed something based on no input, however the patches were solely based on community input. They should have a strong base, and changes should be minor and bug fixing only. They listen to the community too much, where community is mostly exCOD players, and 100 youtube celebrities. They ruined the class balance, they changed key points in maps, etc.

Personally, I played less than 15 hours in the past 4 months, after the latest patch, and revert to BC2. I started to play again before a week and waiting to see if autumn patch will do any good to the game. They need to realize that netcode fixes are for pros and ESL. The rest of us want a good and fun gameplay. This is where 4 lacks...

Agree with you apart from the netcode, for me its the number one element of any online fps along with fun gameplay, ofcourse fun gameplay is subjective but solid netcode is just essential imo.

Yeah, sure, netcode is essential, I cannot disagree on that. However, we did have a lot of fun with BC2 & BF3, even if the netcode was not perfect.
What I mean is, that the netcode is same for all of us. Cover lag for example, affects all the players equally. You know you can get killed just after you ran to cover. You get used to it.

On the other side, we do not all like to play as assault, or support. Some of us need to spot the enemy (recons) and destroy the tanks (engineers). Since assault & support are op, we either have a disadvantage, or we have to play with the op classes.

Recons have that torch (call me lens glare) which makes them visible from miles away...
Engineers, need to fire 3-5 RPGs to destroy a tank. They had SLAMs, but since it was annoying for some "PROs", they nerfed them...
And so on...

Those make the game less fun to play, not the netcode bugs.

Wizard!

@Dcully you asked, you get. Netcode fixes, 60Hz tickrate

Also, this video proves what I was writing about. They reverting changes they made on jets... Some asked them, they made them and realized it ruined the game...

Finally I can play both BF4 and BFH again. There's a drive hotfix from nVidia, the 355.80 drivers, which fix the SLI memory allocation bug. So no more DirectX out of memory errors.

Perfect timing for me. Moving the rig down to college next week where I'll be bathing in the glorious 100mb broadband instead of dealing with the shítty <1mb at home.


Looking forward to how vehicles are gonna be equipped. It'll be fairly chaotic in the battlefield with helis and jets up there blind as bats with tanks and APC surviving on limited visibility

My kind of battle

Wizard!

What did I tell you? They are adjusting the game for a few players that keep crying...
No more bonus for long headshots. Play aggressive against better close combat weapons, or play assault....
I started thinking to NOT buy BF5... Not even Battlefront...

Considering Battlefront is going to have no server browser and only a quickmatch option as they do a "skill" based match making I wouldnt be touching Battlefront.

BF4 is bad enough with OOR players as is, I can only imagine the clusterfook that will be Battlefront as DICE / EA actively embrace and encourage OOR to play each other.

I do not think there will be only a quickmatch option. I do not know if this an official statement or just something you read about. If it is, how am I going to play with my friends, or my Clan? Random join cannot be good.

TerrorFirmer

It would be the same as consoles, you party up and then look for a game as a group.

I'd much rather a server browser though, I'd be really surprised if it was matchmaking only.
