I dont know a lot about computers and I am not sure if my laptop meets the specs for battlefield 4 or not. It says I cannot run the recommended, yet I have what it is asking for. I have GeForce GT 750M, Intel(R) Core™ i7-4500U CPU @ 1.80GHz, 2.4 GHz cpu speed, and 8.1 GB ram. The problem that it says is that the video card isnt enough for the recommended Pixel Shader version 5.0 Icon Vertex Shader version 5.0 Icon Dedicated Video RAM 3.1 GB I do not need ultra graphics, I just want to play the game with a playable frame rate and no lag. Will I be able to do it? ---

Why don’t you just download it and try it. You get a free week when you download it (for free) ---

I tried it and it didn’t work. Ive heard that other people have the same problem with the origin trial too. ---

Did it tell you that you must have a soldier to play? It did that to me too and I just restarted my computer then it worked. Anyways, I have an i5 and an R9 270 and it ran the game on ultra. Idk the fps I didn’t check but I run hardline on ultra 60fps so you can base it off that a bit if you can ---

It would open up the thing on google chrome then id try to join a server and it would just crash and say it wasn’t working correctly Edit: I just reinstalled the free origin version and it tries to connect and says a problem caused the program to stop working. ---

I have a similar setup, and it worked fine until recently. Idk if it was just an update or what, but now I only get like 20 FPS You may as well try ---

Okay thanks! I found a youtube video of a guy running it with the same graphics card so I think it will work. I cant get the free origin copy to work so I guess I’ll have to take advantage of their game guarantee and return it if it doesn’t work.
