Battlefield 4 in October 2013?

I must say pretty impressed with this game. I can play 1440p everything on high no aa and no SSAo option on.

 

Busy playing the SP. It's freaking awesome!
Amazing graphics and fun gameplay.

 

I'll be honest, I found the visuals in the MP Beta quite dull and I was like "meh" (visuals as in the environment rather than the actual Graphics/Textures because its a Beta) but that GIF of the beach with the window blowing the Trees looks amazing.

 

Play the SP campaign. It's stunning!!! Especially on ultra.

 

My friend is playing and says it's not even comparable.
He was geting max 50FPS on Low with HD6870 , now he is runing 70FPS on medium with out any serious drops on 48P server. No sutter at all.
Smooth as butter.

 

Still Busying Testing / benchmarking the Game like crazy with 3 Rigs.

Main Rig (Left Sidebar) on Ultra
Family Rig: Core i5 2500K @ 4.2GHz, 8GB RAM, Radeon 5850, 1680 x 1050: Playable on High.
Laptop: Core i7 3630QM, 8GB RAM, GT 650M Native Resolution 1366 x 768, Playable on High without AA on, Post Processing in Medium, Texture Quality at ULTRA.

Release Version was A LOT more smooth and playable than BETA that it's really no joke.

 

yea its a shame because lots of people returned preorders because of poor performance of beta . But final version is nothing like it , from what i see it doesnt have much bigger requiments than BF3, and seems more smooth.

 

does the MP have better graphics than the beta MP?

 

In case you have problems with stutter you can try this:

Possible fix for microstutter problems

I have had some really nasty "jitteriness", i.e. microstutter, despite having decent framerates. On researching, it seems a lot of other people have, too. I tried updating drivers, lowering settings, v-sync both on and off, even lowering BF4 priority in Task Manager, but nothing was fixing the CPU usage spikes I was getting.

Then I stumbled on a forum post on Steam by a person called sniperjoe2k. He said that DICE apparently left some DirectX files out of the game. You can install them with these directions:

In windows, go to Program Files (x86) -> Origin games -> Battlefield 4 -> _installer -> directtx-> redist
Scroll down and find an application called DXSETUP and double click to run it. It will install the files from Microsoft.

After I did this, the game seemed to run MUCH smoother. If this solution helps you, please either bump this thread up, or let others know of the solution.

i can see very positive feedback from members tha tryied.

My friend says yes and few people here says yes , but i havent seen it myself yet.
THey say textures are sharper in full version.

 

If the DirectX runtimes were not up to date (They haven't been updated since June 2010) the game wouldn't have worked in the first place would it?

Battlefield 4 (And Crysis 3) do include a few newer files (*_46.dll) in the game folder since those are part of the Windows SDK and again not part of a default OS install and they are newer than the files in the DX9 runtime install.

You do need to install these redistributables when installing the OS since the files are not part of a default install for whatever reason (Same with updates to .Net other than for Windows 8.1 which already includes 4.5.1 and the same goes for Visual C++ redistributables from version 2005 to 2013.) but games dependent on these files shouldn't have worked at all if so.
(And during install via Origin the runtimes will be executed so it should have installed then too unless it's downloaded via third party means or directly pirated.)

 

perhaps LOD has been raised a tad?, just sayin' because I was expecting a somewhat hardware killer of a game. so far it seems about as demanding as bf3.

 

It seems very well optimized, utylizing everything there is.
Textures are higher res than beta for sure.

 

Some of the textures in the beta were place holders, with really low res textures. I also noticed on Shanghai that there's some extra touches here and there that were missing from beta, some extra foliage (bushes etc). But maybe I'm just imagining these extra things.

@Des - you getting your 290 today? will you be on?

I never expected a lot more demanding game than bf3. I thought it would run about 10% worse, due to added visual effects. The game looks immense in action, the animations are the one thing that blow me away. But DICE have a history of well coded games, for how they look, they run great. I mean bf4 at times looks amazing and when I tried it on a single gpu it also ran great all maxed, not saying one 7950 is enough to run it on ultra without drops, but the performance was really good. On crossfire the game flies, shame about laggy servers though.

 

eclap, the 290 is delayed a week, check front page. And thanks for game feedback.

 

I'm happy with the performance of my 280x with Battlefield 4 but I'm getting 3 lines coming out of the claymore when I plant it that looks weird. :/

 

Thats normal mate, the 3 wires are trip wires.

 

BF4 80% of frostbite utilized, bf3 20% utilized, yeah bs.

 

It's marketing bs, typical EA.

Graphics are more advanced and feel much better for the eye than BF3 which seem somewhat caronish for me.

But there isnt any revolutionary jump , but noone should have expected that, its same engine , and hardware wise not much had changes since BF3.

 

Is it me or is there no tessellation at all? Checked serve objects no rounded edges.
