I'm not actually angry. I have a working product. I was just looking forward to see how it reacts on my desktop, since its running a server OS with a hypervisor in front. Currently that gives me around a 40% drop in performance. I wanted to see if Mantle could bypass the hypervisor hold on the gpu. Or tank my system(the more logical result).

huh?

Charged for what? The numerous AMD graphics cards I have bought over the years? Or the game which was promised pre-release Mantle support from 7800 series upwards due early December 2013?

Going a bit Off-Topic here but can you not get the Hypervisor to use the Onboard Graphics rather than your GPU?

For anybody who is interested, I'm running Server 2012 R2 with HyperV installed, I've got about 12 other VM's running when I'm gaming sometimes.

Its a type 1 hyper-visor which presents the "host" OS to the screen. It still shares resources to all OS's running within it, including the host OS.

And no, it can't share onboard GPU's or pick and choose. Although in theory it could. But I don't actually have one.

"-Tweaked and improved CPU multi-core utilization to try and avoid stuttering and low framerate due to stalls that happened on some CPU and OS configurations."

Did the absolute opposite for me, went from silky smooth to horrible, huge and frequent stutters. Completely game breaking. FX-6300 and win7 by the way.
Still holding out hope that the new amd drivers might fix it again.

I just love how they reduced hud clutter by making the spotted icon so small it's about three pixels across. Lads, there's decluttering and there's making something utterly fupping useless...

ShadowHearth · 31-01-2014 02:30AM

Guys, is it me or BF4 runs like ass after latest patch? I have no played in ages, but I do remember nice stable 60 with just rares drops, but now it is barely staying at 60 even with droped settings.

Gehad_JoyRider · 31-01-2014 03:47AM

The same happened to one of the lads. He reinstalled DirectX and that fixed his problem.

Mad_Dave · 31-01-2014 03:08PM

Cheers, I'll give that a try tonight

paul_booth_fan · 31-01-2014 04:53PM

Anyone else have to unlock some vehicle stuff again after the patch?? I've lost the burst cannon and TV missiles for the attack boat. Didn't even notice until I tried engage the enemy boat at range

The Freeman · 31-01-2014 09:34PM

now no sound, lol!:p

I've just noticed that they simply increased the points needed to unlock the TV missiles etc so I now no longer have the required total. Panic over

Mad_Dave · 31-01-2014 10:51PM

Broken game is well and truly broken now. Major stuttering where I've had none before, multiple crashes/disconnects where I had none before, feels like constantly playing with 300+ ping...hope the next patch isn't far away.

Funny example of how bad it was tonight - killed an enemy, a second later I somehow get killed by him, then I get kill assist points as well - da fuq ?

Gehad_JoyRider · 01-02-2014 01:08AM

i was playing the holiday resort and got what can be described as super lag well the building came down.

thats why Im like is that the fix ? there's nothing noticeable

Exact same, game was playable before patch and no after their "netcode" improvements and other fixes (which are still clearly not fixed) the game is completely unplayable for me now on XB1

DeWinterZero · 01-02-2014 06:39PM

Supposibly if you've premium you can unlock the AS Val now. It'll be like unlocking the china rising weapons before the release of that expansion.

To unlock it you've to
Have Premium & be at least level 10
Spend 10 minutes in helicopters
Do 10 Squad Repairs

Off to find a heli server

AbusesToilets · 01-02-2014 07:01PM

Where do you see that? Don't even see that as a listed weapon?

The assignments are in the game, but not on Battlelog yet, so the Val can be unlocked.

Hmmm the game seemed fine yesterday on xbo..

Definitely wasn't for me I would to think with over 2500 hours across all he BF titles I can tell if its the game or me having bad games. I dont think DICE realised it but the addition of the new headshot indicator now clearly shows how broken the game is.

Insta Drop dead look at your kill screen see headshot icon you say fair enough.

But insta drop dead with no headshot icon then you can fairly safely say its the one hit kill bug or severe lag or of course it could be the headshot indicator not working.

About 50% of my insta drop deaths (not normal ones) night had no headshot icon and I was still trading kills.

Either way hit detections still ****ed.

Do they grandfather in the values for the unlock? I comfortably have all those requirements, do I have to back and "earn" them again? What is the Assignment called for the AS Val?

No, they're fresh achievements, with no grandfathering, same as the pre-existing ones.

I think it's "Co-Pilot".

AbusesToilets · 01-02-2014 09:22PM

Just saw it there, seems fairly easy. I do find it annoying that assignments I've already completed keep coming up as unfinished. Seems to be all the China Rising weapon unlocks that I did before the expansion was released.

Gehad_JoyRider · 01-02-2014 11:44PM

operation locker back rage south central?

miju · 02-02-2014 12:33AM

Still can't play the game and a new bug has appeared for me tonight , player names (including mine) not appearing on the scoreboard

That is my objective when I play that map. Feck going for the bomb/flags, thats just end badly for me as it turns into a "camp the doorways and tunnels" mini-game, topside and bottom. Flank the enemy with a silenced weapon and marvel at how slow some are to turn around when their guys are dying behind them.

I think its imporoved Im getting back rages its faster smoother for me and way more playable other then levelution... which turns it into moving stills

hallo dare · 02-02-2014 06:02AM

Really? I now get lagging, rubberbanding, no in game sound, disconnects. It was working perfectly before this patch, now it's back in its case in the shelf.

I think at this stage now theres no to little hope for this game. I've about 2500 hours in BF since 1942 but I'm fairly certain this will be my last purchase of BF in the franchise.
