I was never able to join a game during the beta due to map loading issues. Many people concluded it was related to Core 2 Duo CPUs. Don’t know if it was, but whatever it was, I couldn’t play.
Before buying the game, I’d like to know if such an issue has been resolved?
You’re using a core2duo? Probably time to upgrade?
I didn’t ask for an opinion on what kind of hardware I’m using. I meet the requirements of the game.
I’m asking if they resolved an issue with C2D CPUs not running properly.
I have a core2duo e7500 3ghz, 6GB ram, gts450. Also at first couldn’t load in the beta. But after the update in the beta I could at least join a game. But it was unplayable with the laggy jerkyness. Pre-ordered anyway. Now I can play campaign on low settings ok. Multiplayer is still very laggy. Seems to be more playable in small games (16 players)
Ah, so they did issue some sort of update. Good to know.
I have a Core 2 Duo and was never able to load the beta. I can play the release version, but it probably crashes on loading at least 60% of the time. I also get terrible audio hangs/looping and crashes.
I didn’t know it was an issue specific to that type of CPU, but it would explain a lot.
I was playing last night again. Extremely laggy. Unplayable actually.
My system ran BF3 reasonably well and my specs are just above minimum for BF4.
But personally I don’t want to play BF4 on low settings.
I’m going to get my friend’s hardware (i5-750 and better mobo) and beef up with some faster and more memory.
Hopefully that makes a difference, I don’t have money for a new graphics card.
