I see they haven't managed to fix the memory leak with Windows 8.1 systems yet.

Good job DICE.

I gave 8.1 2 installs worth of effort, and finally stable back at win-7 with latest beta drivers. MY 6970 would just cause the darn memory leak after several rounds. Very frustrating.

Is it even worth picking up w/ this system:

Intel QX6700@3.0GHz - Stock V
Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3L
6GB DDR2-800
ASUS GTX560 Ti DirectCU II TOP
250GB 7K2, 80GB 7K2 for PageFile
Antec EA650W
Soyo MB24W - 1920x1200

and what resolution would think I could get out of it for playable fps?

Amazing how good people are at creating these emblems.

I'm rockin' my Jake the Dog emblem, but I need to redo it since I got premium and have 20 more layers now.

My friends repping Lemongrab and BMO.

And now I just froze on the revive screen. Can't hit spacebar to accept, can't hit right mouse to redeploy. Have to quit game and rejoin. Awesome.

I'm going to get in touch with EA next week and see what they can offer since this game is clearly broken.

You're going to have some serious trouble with that CPU. It will be more of a hindrance that your video card, which still has some life left in it.

I haven't seen any benchmarks of the game using a Q-series chip, but my guess is that you'll have some pretty low minimums.

that is what i kind of thought when i played the beta, just wasn't sure how far it was compared to the final. guess a 2500k or non k is about the lowest to go? as far as the gpu, if i pick up a 1155 board, may as well get a sli board and pick up another 560ti...at least if there are no issues w/ sli w/ bf4?

Can't seem to be able to join any servers since 11 tonite. Can't even run SP. Time to sleep I guess.

What are the symptoms of the memory leak? My bro-in-law has been using my secondary system with an i3 2120 and 6970 and after a few rounds it gets really chunky. He has been restarting the pc and then all is well for another few rounds. This only started today, though this was the first time he has played since the latest patch. Does that sounds like the same issue?

does the game take AGES to shut down for anyone else? I always stare at black screen with that blinking "cursor" or rectangle for good five seconds.

agreed.. Avoid and wait till its on sale for cheap and maybe if they even feel like fixing the game..

I don't even try to log into the game anymore. Save your money and piece of mind.
