How is this even a thing? I don't think I've ever heard of graphics settings so messed up. This isn't even related to server or netcode troubles. I have no clue how this game got through QA.

Sax Russel · (11-28-2013, 04:40 AM)

Don't worry guys, I'm sure they'll patch this. Hmm. Early April? Yeah that sounds about right for DICE getting a minor fix out. Or am I being too optimistic.

Odrion · (11-28-2013, 04:41 AM)

Now that I know, should I really change the settings so that more foliage can obscure the visibility of my enemies? Hmmm.

Get your patches weeks earlier with Battlefield Premium.

Sonic and All Stars Racing's graphical settings were messed up, giving you Wii assets instead of HD assets even if you set settings to max. You had to change settings on the multiplayer options to fix it.

Bug is definitely there in the campaign.

Everytime you change the setting you need to exit the game and go back in, changing the settings in game has different effects. (Just to note that some have reported, that restarting the game in Ultra and Low are different than switching in-game, so take that for what you will.)

I posted a video about this a week ago.

Dude the vegetation setting was actually vegetation sparsity. So low = low sparsity = lots of grass, ultra = ultra sparse = little grass.

Duh.

Restarting the game makes it look worse for me

Uploading screens to show the weird effect happening.

Will fill in these spaces

Medium ( Loaded map on Medium )

Ultra ( Loaded map on Medium )

Medium ( Loaded Map on Ultra )

Ultra ( Loaded map on Ultra )

FPS dropped from 125-103 from the worst to the best

The game looks PS2 error vegetation when loading with Medium. Ghosts atleast worked? :P That game has its own issues with mouse acceleration though.

This game is so messed up lol
Really not making me want to give DICE my money. Getting fairly ridiculous how stuff can ship like this :/

UnrealEck · (11-28-2013, 04:55 AM)

Yeah DICE/EA (it's open for debate who) really pissed me off with this game. I've gotten a bit tired of half-assed releases. I can only guess they didn't allow proper time for QA and just wanted to get the game out before Ghosts. It's painfully obvious to me. On top of that you have PS3, Xbox, PC, PS4 and Xbone systems to cater to. It's a rediculously big bite they've taken and they can't chew it.

DICE makes the impossible come true.

Could make for some legendary patch notes: "Corrected a visual error where grass was displayed improperly"

Great to know I was playing a graphically gimped version of a game that I was only playing to see the graphics.

RiggenBlaque · (11-28-2013, 05:15 AM)

I don't understand how people buy DICE games expecting anything other than ridiculous bugs. BF2 had that bug where enemies names randomly showed up as blue ally colors from day 1 until at least several years later when I stopped playing. Their patch notes claimed they fixed the problem no less than 2 times, as well. Their QA department is absolute garbage.

Gez · (11-28-2013, 05:17 AM)

I'm confused as to why this costs $60. (I'm not really confused)

Pop On Arrival · (11-28-2013, 05:19 AM)

this game is such a fucking piece of shit. What else is wrong with this stupid game?

i dont remember having these much problems with BF3 at launch. The audacity of these shitheads to be already peddling DLC when the game is a broken turd. JESUS.

Odrion · (11-28-2013, 05:25 AM)

its okay guys they're giving us double xp for a week to make up for it :)

(So we're all going to vote EA as the worst company again, right?)

maneil99 · (11-28-2013, 05:27 AM)

I wanted to make a thread showing how nearly 50% of the guns are recycled from BF3 but I'm not sure if anyone cares. Also the guns in the new DLC ( Flashback map pack ) are from BF3, so why are we being charged for them?

Are you saying they shouldn't bring back the F2000? What are you, a monster?

But for realsies, I didn't check but did they keep the same actual gun models? It seemed like they were rerendered again.

Look the same to me but I can't say 100%. Texture wise its different for sure but I don't think thats very hard considering all the different weapon textures in the game

BF3

BF4

BF4/3

Does anybody get those funky plants in my OP?

GJS · (11-28-2013, 07:25 AM)

I remember reading that this varies depending on your version of windows and whether you have nvidia or AMD ATi graphics. Hence some people not getting the leafy vegetation etc as well.

What! Really. Any source. What a joke.

Joco · (11-28-2013, 07:32 AM)

This really isn't making me feel good about the future Battlefront. In fact, just about everything about BF4 has me concerned.

Imagine Endor in next gen. Now imagine it without grass.

Soupstorm · (11-28-2013, 07:35 AM)

Pppppffffffffffffffffff. So glad I got a refund for this piece of shit. Would have done a chargeback but CS let me do it the easy way. I suggest you all do the same if you were, ironically, lucky or prescient enough to buy it digitally, otherwise EA-DICE aren't going to feel any consequence since they already got everybody else's money.
