I've been playing with the resolution scaling and haven't decided on the best setting. Wondering what you guys use.

I'm playing the campaign and here are the basic 3 I've been tweaking. I've got a gtx 680 and an amd 1100t.

1600x900 150% res, 4xMSAA
1920x1080 100% res, 2xMSAA
1920x1080 115% res fxaa

The first settings gets me a locked 60 fps, the next 2 , are kinda even 30-60 with drops in different scenarios.

What do you guys use? Ant recommendations?
I can't check since I'm at work butI think I play with 120% res on 1080P with no AA.
30-60 fps. Average 35-40 except on Flood Zone which goes down to the 20s.
I avoid that map like a plague, dislike the design.

Running an OC 670

Changing the buttons to BF3 settings (legacy buttons) is missing from the PS4 version (legacy sticks are in though). Besides that problem, the game is just amazing and is the only game that looks next-gen. Looking forward to playing it once BF3 controls have been patched in.

KZSF looks pretty next-gen to me.

Agree about the button switching though.. that's fucking annoying. As is the method to group of with friends (if you can even call it that). What the fuck were they thinking? The one year I finally convince my COD friends to switch and they pull this kind of bullshit..

Yeah... I'm pretty frustrated with that too. Plus the fact I got BF4 physical and KZ SF digital so I can't play SF yet...

Had this the whole day, it's prolly because the servers are being DDOS'ed or something.
They have this notice on the battlelog:

nice new bug to the PC ver all my unlocks are gone now.... so glad i paid for premium on top of buying a 290x for it..... what a train wreck

It is really bad..

I was going to buy a 290 when the AIB cards came out, but then again, there's not really that much to get that card for just yet either. At this point I might actually just wait for the next generation of gpus.

Wah? Is this what's screwing up the PS4 servers too or are they just BSIng because they have other problems?

Oman looking nice. Sort of excited to play this next week - hopefully the Xbox One version will launch smoothly.

Jesus really?

Fuck.. with how long it takes to grind out the unlocks I would be fairly pissed off.

I had one day last weekend where I was having a great day of BF4. I'd fixed my crashing, the audio looping, everything. I was loving it. So, I decided I'd pony up for Premium. Stupid fuck me basing this off of one good day.

I'm very much regretting that decision.

Anyone know what "field upgrade score lost" means?
Everyone in your squad died before getting the upgrade. Or rather, everyone in the squad was dead at a single time before anyone respawned to achieve the goal.

EDIT: Although, there could be more to it than that as highlighted below. Not achieving certain goals etc.
 
Has anybody successfully gotten a refund from EA/Origin for this?

At this point it's worth a try. They gotta know their game is completely unplayable.

It's basically killstreaks. The little green bar with icons next to your map? That fills up as you gain score during a life. You get boosts (four total) and can pick which pack you use. Offensive, defensive, sneakytype, and some other shit.

It's... a thing.
 
Are we sure it's not DICE attacking their own servers? They've somehow managed to make the game worse from beta to release, then even worse from release to first client update.

You can try.. you'd best be suited calling them if you do.

Please report if you succeed and what finally got them to do it.

You should probably just use 1080p with FXAA and as much MSAA as you can afford. Using the resolution slider for supersampling is a big performance investment for not much IQ return. Personally I use 1080p at 85% resolution scale (roughly 1600x900 internal res) and I'm happy with it on my 560ti :)

You and your squad build meter, for lack of a better term. As the meter hits different levels you'll receive upgrades depending on which perk you select (more c4, mines etc.). The commander can also manually give you these boosts, but if your entire squad is wiped out you have to start building the meter again, which is why the "last man in squad" message is important, on top of simply just giving people a place to spawn.

Corrupted my save files on the PS4 again. On one hand I guess I should be thankful, since the campaign is fucking awful. Resetting my control schemes is getting annoying though. Battlefield launch woes, pretty much what I expected.

Quick question - I suck at twitch FPS (like Halo and COD), will I still be able to have success / fun in BF4 or is it very twitchy too?

Question applies to both campaign and multiplayer.

I think it's less twitchy than Halo and COD. Plus there are a lot of different roles you can play so you can help your team even if you kind of suck.

How are you guys unlocking the China Rising guns? I dont see them, even though yesterday in a ranked game I was killed by someone using the L85A2.
DICE probably accidentally activated it.
You need to complete all the tasks for the assignments on 1 round or they'll reset.
I've already got the L85 and MTAR

Being good at twitch shooters will help but you'll be just fine if you're not good at it. Unless you're playing TDM it doesn't matter.

What FPS do you get with that? I have the same card, game seems really un-optimized for me.

So the PS4, is conquest fucked for everyone else? I can't seem to connect most of the time and then I disconnect when I somehow do join a match.

Yep, I bought the game for 64 player conquest, and it's the only mode that screws up for me. I did get two crashes at the main menu though, and recording is messed up since it doesn't have any audio. Hopefully all these issues will be sorted out soon. I gave DICE a second chance after BF3, hope I don't come to regret it.
 
Just had server and client crashes for 7/7 attempts to play a round of Conquest (about 15-20 minutes in each time) today. My first BF is a great introduction to the Battlefield series thus far ...
