I have found that the beta drivers released by AMD two days ago has greatly lessened my crashing

Also - anyone having ranking up problems? It seems that a lot of times I will rank up as the result of ribbons or unlocks but then at the start of the next round I will get a few points and 'be promoted'. I think I got promoted to level 10 like 4 times.
 
One thing I notice about BF4 is aircraft seem to be irrelevant. Is that your finding as well? I remember in previous BFs that a pro in an airplane or helo can really fuck the other team up. Now I am playing BF4 for quite a while now many times in tanks/apcs and I dont think I ever have been blown up by any aircraft. Damaged sometimes yes but it was something I shrugged off.

Lots of things are different with the new jets. Limited FOV, lack of mass spotting, smaller airspaces.

It's nearly impossible to get kills with the stealth jet cause the missile or gun not doing enough damage to another aircraft.

I have been killed by aircraft while moving on foot from one objective to another. Depends who's playing I guess. If there are equally skilled pilots on both sides, they tend to deal with each other. Also, after awhile a team will switch to almost all engineer with all AA rockets if they are constantly getting steamrolled by aircraft, just like they would if tanks were doing steamrolling.
 
Awesome. Now I have memory leak problems.

That does not show any memory leaks...lol

I've only crashed a few times, my Quit rate is only like %5 vs others 50+. Guess its ATI cards.

I know I was appaled by how crap the jets are. If my hud wasn't lying you get 1 hp on a chopper/jet for each bullet that hits. So you have to hit 100 shots to kill another jet.

Not a huge problem other than the fact that they auto repair faster than you can turn around and hit them some more.

The rush jets however are still pretty decent.

Yeah, I'm severely disappointed in the jets. So much that I've taken up chopper flying.
 
I feel like my client has been crashing more than ever before this weekend. I can barely get through 1 round now before the game crashes. My squaddies also crashing often but not as much as me.

I have GTX 670 w/ all gfx options turned to LOW or OFF where applicable. i7 860 CPU. Win7

Helicopters too. The damage against ground targets from the attack choppers seems very low

In the attack choppers it seems like they can destroy a tank from behind if both gunner and pilot shoot at the same target in one pass. That's how it should be. Most of the time the gunner is not focusing forward on what the pilot is which is where they get into trouble.

The scout choppers need a boost depending on the map they are on if you ask me. In rush the scout chopper stands no chance against the AA. It should be buffed against the AA on rush maps, but stay how it is now on maps where other choppers and jets are.
 
Personally I find Attack choppers fine, my problem is with the Scout chopper, it goes down so easily and I think the reason is it can get target way to fast, PLD should be adjusted so that light and nimble vehicle should take longer to target, also there should be a distinction in actually getting locked on or having a missile/rocket incoming on you, basically sometimes you are forced to deploy flares because you have no idea if its an actually attack or just a Soflam, PLD locking on to you, its annoying because most of the time right after that you get hit by the real deal.

Don't know about that, we had some guy go 64-0 in a jet. He said he was the number 1 ranked jet fighter pilot in the F-35(I think).

The A-10 seems to do a fine job ripping up vehicles. Don't think I have even been hit by a F-35 though.
 
I go from doing awesome one game, like 30-5 to next map 5-15. I don't understand if its just the maps, or cheaters happen to join.

That happens to me a lot. I will just beast one game and then struggle to get a single kill. There are times I am almost certain there are people with an always spotted cheat on in HC.

Sometimes you just run into a good team. When I am struggling its never really 1v1, its when their team really squads up so there are always a few people shooting at me at the same time. And if they can shot at all, the best I can manage it take one of them out, but usually I just end up getting hitmarkers on a couple of them. Getting a whole squad to coordinate is actually kind of tough, but when it happens its pretty effective. It can make people appear better than they actually are.
 
The netcode and/or hitreg is completely fucked up, and I mean completely. Oh, along with spawn system.
I am getting shot through walls, grenaded around corners, instakilled upon spawn before the screen even changes from black to anything, etc.
Seriously considering waiting until they release whatever patch they are cooking, praying it contains some changes to this. Currently the game is completely ridiculous, and below average player basically stands no chance.
 
I'm not having a problem with it, I have it installed on 3 different PC's ranging from my sig machine which is the most powerful one I have, down to an i5 2500k and HD5870.
