Some users claim low = ultra other claim medium = ultra. For me its medium. Screens below are from a french site. What the hell is this, its been weeks without a fix. The frass looks worse in actual MP vs Test Range too.

That's pretty shameful, look at that frass.
It's pretty obvious low = ultra.
i remember this being mentioned in the BF4 thread. brb going to try it out
I uhh, should check out my settings.
I feel like the grass and bushes look better on low and the gun/guys hand look more detailed on ultra.
Just tried loading test range again, now all my settings look like shit/low
wow 
You've been DICE'd!
Dat fuck!?

The less vegetation is much better for MP.
Seems pretty obvious that Low = Ultra from those pictures

Thats all I am doing, this is REALLY weird.You should only change vegetation detail.
When I load up the map with the setting set to ultra, it looks bad, changing to medium then REDEPLOYING makes it look GOOD
Loading up the map with it set to MEDIUM, makes it look AWFUL, and even WORSE on ULTRA.
Only way to get nice grass for me is to set it to ULTRA and then go to MEDIUM after REDEPLOYING
If someone else could try this, see if they have the settings mixed up, correcting it themselves then reloading the map that would be great
Clearly Dice believes in the motto "less is more".
What, really? No wonder why the game performs so well on my PC.
Wait a minute, does this mean those ridiculously up close screens from the PC version were on LOW vegetation? Or is this only for mp?
There's no change on my rig at all. 290x @ 2560 x 1440.
I bet this is driver, or specific card related.

Redone
Uploading screens to show the weird effect happening.
Will fill in these spaces

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

It would seem to me that vegetation should be near the same on all setting for fair competition reasons. It gives players an unfair visibility advantage if their game renders less vegetation for prone enemies to hide in.
Or did they take prone out of this Battlefield release like they did Bad Company 2?

On Ultra/High ( Or whatever the equivilent is ) Players used to move the vegetation around them, but they took that out last patch.It would seem to me that vegetation should near the same on all setting for fair competition reasons.

Ok this is really weird. Using no combination of settings from low to ultra, can I make my game look like the first screenshot in the same area.There's no change on my rig at all. 290x @ 2560 x 1440.
I bet this is driver, or specific card related.
WTF?
I'm closing and reopening the game each time also.
What is this amateur hour?
What a mess this and Ghosts are. Can every gaming site band together and call both of these clowns out for all this? With all the technical problems.. come on man.
They all need to be called out at this point. I don't want the articles to say "the developers are working on it". I want to hear "the consumers are outraged and rightly so". Front page.
And to be clear, I'm specifically pointing fingers at Activision and EA and their unplayable broken cash cows. I don't care how many systems they're trying to launch on, that should have been accounted for. If DICE and IW's hands were tied trying to put out a great product on too many systems, it was someone's responsibility to make sure that was taken care of, again Acti and EA. Between all of their numerous problems, neither of them were ready to hit the market. Hire more people. A lot more. A lot lot more, if that's what it takes.
How can you not know the vegetation settings are all mixed up? I'll tell you how, not enough time to check!
Battlefield still crashes on me, and Ghosts, everybody else gave up on it even though for some strange reason I can run it well, because theirs couldn't run it or it ran like crap for them and nobody plays anymore.
$120 spent and I can't play either of them on PC. It's ridiculous that Acti and EA can even profit off of their massively unfinished work. If I could get a refund like any other product I wouldn't make a big stink about it, but unfortunately I can't. Absurd.

One of the most broken games I've ever bought.
Well this is odd. I've got two variables at play: grass and shrubs.
On low, I have fewer shrubs, and these increase logically as I bump up Terrain Decoration, though the difference between Medium/High/Ultra seems to be negligible.
However, grass is the opposite. At low I've got greater grass density, medium is about the same, and High/Ultra reduce it significantly.
So of the Terrain Decoration setting, the grass part is skewered the wrong way, but the shrubs are set right, meaning "Medium" is the happy middle of maximising both.
Also, those big leaf plants in the op? Nowhere to be found in my version, no matter what setting I'm on. Here's me with Terrain Decoration set to medium.

I guess that's why the grass hasn't impressed me and I've had a pretty solid framerate. Auto set it to ultra/high which is apparently low. Okay... guess I should perf.drawoverlay my FPS on low and see how much of a hit ultra grass gives me.
Which isn't a big deal to me in any case as the rest of the game looks fine and I'm not busy paying attention to the grass in general.

Holy shit, I had no idea BF4 was this fucked up. Wow :O
Jesus, this sure is one rushed clusterfuck of a game.
I can't get them either :SOriginally Posted by EatChildren

This is exactly how it works for me too.Thats all I am doing, this is REALLY weird.

Loading ultra -> changing to medium = great
Loading medium -> shit no matter what
And in no case do I get any of those leafy plants, just the grass.
Did some comparisons myself and Ultra looks the best. Not a huge difference between High and Ultra but from High to Medium and Low there's a huge difference.
Same, no plants, seriously screwed up. I got a 20 fps drop too from before, imagine ALL the benchmarks that have been screwed by this lolOriginally Posted by Sax Russel

I recently went to my friends house to check out his wii. I was generally impressed. It was larger than I expected though.
(11-28-2013, 04:27 AM)
Maybe ultra has super clean grass and they had to reduce density to keep the IQ up.
Hahahaha yeah right
Hahahaha yeah right
It's like somebody forgot to water the grass.
