First Impressions

[deadmeatwalking]

amd x6 @4ghz and a 6850 @900mhz @ 60 fps ... could be worse

[mycoolcar]

Also the hit reg with the RPG seems to be better and the flight path is flatter/more predictable

in BF3 I couldn't hit a chopper with an RPG to save my life due to the funny flight path (the big drop in the first 50 metres and then slow drop always used to mess with my aim)

IMO its like the hit box for RPG to chopper is HUGGEE. Much easier to hit flying things, almost too easy.

Tank Vs. chopper is reasonably easy too, issue in Shanghai is choppers fly a little higher with all the buildings, so tank turret does not get high enough to hit them. 50cal on top does lots of damage though, and is easy to use.

yeah - I was thinking that it was a bit too easy, but then with the amount of buildings, its quite easy for the chopper to play hide and seek

you running the beta driver avatar? I have 6950 and fps is pretty solid (acceptable)

Yea I'm running the beta.

[SmiLinSniPeR]

I was unable to play above 12 fps at most on Win 7 pro x64.

Installed Win 8.1 x64 preview on a spare drive i had to try it out installed beta etc and now get ~ 30-40 fps and 0 lag / stutter.

I never thought i would move to win 8 but here i am and its starting to grow on me....

EDIT: Specs i have AM3 6100 , 8 gig ram, 7850 2 gig , 1TB Seagate.

Dont run the beta drivers if you have win 7

Roll back to Nvidia 320.something. Its a known issue with those drivers. I have 2500k and 580 and had major issues. Now a bit better.

Also, manually update punkbuster.

Alt tab and close battlelog when playing.

[swindle]

My Origin is downloading at about 100Kbs.

Ropable.

Oh nice. Thanks. Will try.

[Baldesto]

only team work i have seen is from sila and oga so far .  same as most of these games , team work will win it . half these nubbies couldn't organise a fuck in a whore house

[BeNZene]

Yeah running like arse for me too. (i5 2500k @ 4.4 + 670FTW + latest drivers etc). I can get 100fps on Med / Low but it drops to ~ 10 Fps here and there, usually when I least need it to.

i5 2500k @ 4 + 670GTX + Latest drivers and I'm getting 60ish on High, but with drops to 25-30 when shit hits the fan.  CPU is at 90%+ most of the time on all 4 cores.  Sounds like this game wants more cores and/or hyperthreading.

i7 920, sli 580s. Latest driver, works fine. Decent frames too.

[Emrico1]

Rolled back the driver, seems a little more stable but the general frame rate took a hit. better though.

[monpepe]

i7 920, sli 580s.

 
of course with that monster

[~SoL1D_Sn4Ke~]

not much fun so far only 30 fps and rubber banding badly, no difference in fps with gfx ultra or low...running latest amd drivers win7 64, i7 930, amd 6970 2gb, 6gb ram

might revert back to old drivers and see.

[Emrico1]

Nah, still fucked.

[Fubar]

i5 2300, 6850, latest released drivers (not beta) using basic sata drive, Win 7 64 bit. No OC on anything

Game runs smooth at either medium or high settings. First night I would get lag spikes but now game runs fine. My only complaint is my load times blow, by the time I get in top players have 5+ kills

[mycoolcar]

Load time is still pretty slow with an SSD. Maybe it will be better in the full release?

[Baldesto]

i7 haswell 4770k @4.6 and 6970 latest amd drivers , samsung ssd , load times are shit , lag is still pretty awesome . please get some local servers soon .

[O-L-W-A-G]

i7 860 @ 3.6 HT on
2x 7850 @ 1050/1450
Win 8

All ultra
No masa
Max post
HDAO

I'm never dipping under 60FPS, hovering around 80, the load tines are fine.

Gameplay wise it feels like BF3, just a tad faster and smoother with some small gameplay updates. Missing that addictiveness though completely.

[CSfaith]

Need someone in CHCH to sell me some hardware, my rig is still in Palmerston North ! FUUUUUUU want to play this ! Growler, I might have to do a fly by and have a squiz !

[Emrico1]

From trying to fix my game and reading up on fixes, it seems to me that Sandy Bridge non-hyper-threading CPU's (i5 2500k etc) are problematic, along with the very popular six series nVidia cards (660, 670 etc).

Unfortunately, I have both.

There is news of a potential update to beta coming.

[mycoolcar]

I'm thinking the "update" will be another map for the last weekend of the beta. As with the bf3 beta and caspian on the last weekend.

Lets crash a destroyer into an island.

So them hyperthreads is a bonus to have currently? Downloading beta now will give it a shot on 3770k with 680

[Spork]

Game seems very fun so far.

Running very well on It 4770k (stock speeds so far) with 7970 and 16gb ram.

Not sure if the hyperthreading is a bonus but I haven't seen many complaints from 2600k's so I'm just guessing.
