I must be going blind but I can't find where to customize the key bind for accepting/rejecting a revive. In game popup says "Space Bar" to ACCEPT and "Right Mouse Button" to reject but when ever I hit my space bar to accept a revive I just stay dead. Any help? Thanks

I suspect you were re-killed instantly.

I believe even before actually making a decision your body shows up in game and people can kill you before you make the decision which then denies you of a revive but also doesnt count as a double kill

Anybody else having issues re-mapping keys for the jet? I've changed the mappings but it is still using the old key binds. All other key mappings are working fine.

I dont think Chocula and McLovin knew. I think when I joined you guys you were all in the same squad.

Upgrading to a 780 Ti makes this game amazing.

I should finally get my second 680 today (damn corporate mail system), but after looking at a review of the EVGA 780 ti SC...its tempting. I really want to wait for the 6GB versions, but since I'll probably mainly just play BF4 for a year I guess it doesnt matter too much.

I checked it a few times and total system RAM usage was around 5.8 gigs. I read people exceeding 8 gigs and that sounds crazy to me. Something odd there I think.

I still don't understand why are people talking about total memory usage. Only bf4.exe process is relevant, nothing else.

No, because there is no proof it has anything to do with the game. Show me what uses the memory in Task manager (or whatever more advanced clone).

I always double tap dead people right when they get the revive. Easy way to score extra points.

So far I like the SCAR-H, M416, M16A4, ACE 23, M249, P226, M40A5, and AK-5C (too many good carbine to choose, probably grind most of them). Also, seem like the SRR-61 (should have make it as assignment unlock instead of give us some crappy Chinese sniper rifle) is used more than the M98B.

Helo pilots:

I used to fly choppers via joystick back in BF2 and I am trying them now in BF4. They seem really easy to fly except one thing is bothering me: how do I rotate my chopper right or left without yawing??? I thought it would be Freelook Left/Right but I assigned those to A & D since they default to yaw which I didnt want but they only work while I am on the ground! I get in the chopper and can use A & D while on the ground to rotate right and left but once in the air they do absolutely nothing...

You mean actual turning left/right, not rolling left/right, right? By definition, left/right rotation is yaw. I'm a keyboard/mouse pilot. I use my mouse for yaw and pitch, A and D keys for roll, W and S keys for elevator (collective/"up and down" in heli).

Have you edited the proper key bindings?

I'm in a rage cage right now, making primal sounds, bouncing wall to wall, the whole deal. Started very innocent and then escalated quickly:

A while ago, there was a really cheap deal on WIN8 Pro. I bit, primarily because of rumors that WIN7 will be cut off from future DX updates. Fast forward to present:

I've been considering going to 8.1 for a few weeks but held off because of reports with mouse issues in games. Learned that G series mice seem to be unaffected and finally got fed up with my crashes and decided to get 8.1 thinking it might improve BF4 performance even further and get rid of crashes.

When I got Internet service at this new place, the only spot that worked for the ISP was on the balcony for some reason which meant a ~50ft LAN cable run so I got a wifi adapter. A wifi adapter that 7 and 8 work perfectly with but 8.1 isn't compatible with.

Icing on the cake: Since I had to go back to either 7 or 8, I thought Why the hell not and formatted the primary drive. However, redownloading B4 in attempt to fix crashes along with downloading other games and binge netflix use got me to the monthly bandwidth cap as Charter just informed me...

The default was A & D = yaw and it wasn't doing what I expected.

When hitting D for example I expect my chopper to maintain the same horizontal plane but the nose rotates on that plane to the right.

What ended up happening was the chopper would rotate both x + y axis, meaning I did turn right but at the same time it adjusted my nose to point I think downwards.

Hopefully you weren't using a good XP booster. I've had that happen to me when using the 25%, which sucks because I am playing for specific weapons and attachments. I am holding onto the 50 and 100 boosters until things settle down.

I wonder what is the average amount of boosts people have. I have 10 or so 25% and 15 50% and 1x 100%

Way too many boosts to burn through.

I had probably 10+ x 25% boosts, and used them all up over the last few of days. I think I have 5 x 50% and 3-5 x 100% that I haven't used yet. They go by quicker than you think. Whats irritating is that they dont tell you when they expired, so I had a few monster games and didnt see the boost at the end and I was kicking myself. I think the biggest game I've had with boosts was 50k. I know in one round I ranked up one full level. I think it was last night doing the scout repairs and defense.
