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.
