Hello,

I just want to know wether some FPS drops and stuttering is normal at the moment? And did anyone else had a crash while searching with “Quick Game”?

people should stop using Quick match!!! It probably tries to log you in to a server on the other side of the planet with a ping of 350.  
That’ll give you FPS drops and stuttering and screw up the server for every body that’s on it.

use the server browser and find your region and select one with the lowest ping and add it to favorites for the next time.  
See if that helps

More than few players have reported stuttering FPS. Early build, not too worried yet. Still installing + work = “#%”&&

I notice when half way through a match I start to notice a lot of FPS stutters. Looks like it can be all the smoke, explosions, team mates around me, etc. Hopefully this is just cause it’s in early build still. Even back when the beta was out and playing on Sinai Desert I had very little FPS spikes. Now it’s just pretty ridiculous.

The first 6 months after release has always been fixing the game in almost every BF game. It is more or less expected.

That’s for sure. The first patch will probably deploy by Dec. Every BF release has always been problematic. If this one isn’t it would be a first.

Make sure the graphics drivers are updated even try the latest beta ones

No issues here, As said update video drivers. Also if your cards overclocked make sure it’s stable. I’ve been seeing issues on Nvidia cards so who knows. I’m running AMD.

How much RAM do u have? Your gonna want more than 8GB. I was using 8.25GB max reported in HWinfo.

Do not use quick match.

Has anyone experienced weird colors? There was one match where it looked like the middle of the map was really bright and when I was facing towards it everything was black and I couldn’t see anything. Was really weird.

I could run the Beta on high with no problems and it looked beautiful… the Trial however… I have to put everything on low to not get stutters and FPS drops which otherwise would make it unplayable. Hopefully there will be some optimization in patches.. and with new nvidia drivers. I also crash like every 1.5 hours of play.

I can play though.. and it’s a lot of fun. But I’m kinda sad that it looks and performs worse than the Beta. Much worse.

Stuttering in any application is usually to do with memory shortage and swapping to and from disk which causes stuttering.  
As somebody said, they are seeing usuage of more than 8gb, so first thing I would do is get 16gb. If you have 16gb then it could be a memory leak in the game, BF4 had this bad in the beginning. Also how much memory does your graphics card have? Turn down the gfx if it has very little.

I did not have any stuttering but my frame rates also dropped during a match. It is as if the gameplay and FPS got slower as the game go on, I could also see that the trees and buildings in the distance started to look real strange over time, as if the cpu or gpu is being throttled or something…

I start to play with over a 100fps and then it drops to around 60…As I mentioned the grass and buildings/clouds/trees ect started to look very weird of low quality…

My settings is on Ultra @ 1080p

i7 4790  
Gtx 1070 Gaming X  
16 GB Ram 1866hz  
SSD

Can someone explain to me what the CPU setting is in the advance options?? I think it might be that…or Vsync..
