What a joke of a game…forget anything else I am still getting sound bugs!!! The whole server could just hear the loading music throughout the game. Was quite funny just to see how pathetic your company is. Nowonder you are on for the worst company for the 3rd year running!!! ---

Yes, Finally!!! Was able to play the game for 1 good hours without crashing or any problems just now!! All this while, i wasn’t able to starts a game without crashing or hanging after feb 25 patch… Heres what I’ve done! Format my harddrive and do a completely clean reinstall of my windows 8, install all the latest driver, dump the useless mantle and use the more stable amd catalyst 13.12 video drivers, which means switching back to dirextx and finally do a new clean installation of battlefield 4 including all latest patch updates I’d’ve even stop all the over clocks setting on my system and let it run normally… I am keeping my finger crossed! Hope those damn bugs won’t bite again… Any news I will post here again ---

Ok so turns out I don’t have the user.cfg file in the directory When the game finishes loading into a server (as in immedietly on loading in) the entire game freezes, along with the rest of my computer forcing me to reset the entire PC. If i repair the game through Origin, it will work, sometimes allowing me to play the game (at least untill i quit, then the problem returns) Also for some reason running it on borderless now no longer uses the whole screen but is instead maybe half of the screen, unless i go in change the options to full screen and then back to borderless. ---

I found a fix for my “stopped working” issue. I deleted the BF4 folder in my documents, I launched the game and it started with basic video options. I set everything to ultra (as I’ve always used to play before the patch of 25/02) and, as soon as I clicked “apply”, the game froze again. That made me understand it was a graphic option issue. I loaded BF4 again, it was with low graphics settings again, I set everything to Ultra but **I disabled AntiAliasing** and I can play again with no freezes or CTDs. Seems like that patch from DICE screwd AA on my HD 6950 Crossfirex rig. I hope this helps guys. Try disabling AA, worth a try definitely. 🙂 ---

I did everything you can imagine… playing with Utra or Auto or Low settings… disable the AA, install different GPU driver versions, did all the tweaks suggested on forums (delete bf4 folder, command lines) , even format my Windows and reinstall everything… but nothing really works. ---

After this last thing they realese…cant call it a patch,cause patch is something that makes your game better and fixes some stuff,this makes my game even worse, crashing after some random time…about 45 min-1h, all i get is “BF4 stopped working” . I tried all kinds off settings and all kinds of drivers and nothing can fix this. I am not looking for solution for my problems, cause there isnt solution for it right know and god knows will there ever be, what i want to say is they made joke of us cause we all paid full product and they gave us half of it…so i think u would complain while you are at the restaurant and u get half of your meal or halh baked or cooked, and probably u wouldnt paid for it cause u didnt ordered that and well i just want to ask u, ask them is there any way we get some kind of refund if they dont find solution in few weeks, maybe we should organise some petition,cause globally they made millions from this game and lets be honest, right know this game is in beta, so literally they tricked us…and its not a cheap trick. ---
