BF4 Connection resets
by Guest RET.LT.Padarom=US=- 2 replies
- 1.3k views
A few days ago a really strange bug/lag occurred the first time. Every few seconds (in every game, no matter which server, mode or map) my connection freezes. What this means, is that I can't send nor receive any data to/from the server. During this time every person on the server stops moving and every vehicle remains static. After this time I am positioned as if nothing every happened. For instance when I start an attack strike from a jet against ground vehicles and pull up right in time - during this freezing - then I am dead after this time is over, because the server never received my ascend maneuver. This makes my game unplayable in most situations (air warfare…

Windows 7 Cleaning
by Guest RhinoTech- 0 replies
- 776 views
Hello, Just recently I had my SSD 128GB get filled to capacity, when it is the drive your OS uses it means processing comes to a screeching halt. Using WinDirStat to analyze the folders in a visual representation allowed me to recognize that TS3 Overlay had created a Main.EXE file... that was 30GB large. This I deleted quickly without any fanfare. The next item to be 86'd was a folder called WinSXS. This is where all the system components are stored (updates), but the old stuff doesn't get deleted. So the folder just gets larger until pop, my drive filled up. Using Disk Cleanup allowed me to shrink that monstrosity of a folder into something more manageable. As a f…

Battlelog

I recently purchased BF4 and have been using battlelog with great despair. I can't get it to connect to any server I want. I click play now and it auto joins a server. when I alt tab out to pick a server and click (join server) it says that it isn't connected anymore even though there is a blue bar at the bottom. I have tried contact Origin as well as EA to no avail. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Razer Tiamat 7.1 Sound Issue

So I just got my Razer Tiamat 7.1 headset and I am a little worried. The sound on this headset is honestly pretty bad. I have it all set up and such but it sounds so dull and hollow whenever playing BF4 or anything else. Does anyone have some tips for me to get this better?

New 27" Monitor suggestions?
by Guest Dokes- 2 replies
- 1.7k views
First off, does anyone have one of these (or know of anyone who's had one)? http://overlordcomputer.com/products/tempest-x270oc-glossy I've really been considering a new monitor as a step up from mine (27" ViewSonic, 1920x1080, ~8ms) and these Tempests really seem like they would be amazing if they worked as advertised. Otherwise, I'm looking for any suggestions as I'm really interested in the following for a new monitor: - 27" - WQHD (2560x1440) - IPS panel, preferably Glossy finished (I'm tired of washed out colors and faded blacks) - Any refresh rate above 60Hz I really want it to be 27" (because that's what I've had for years) but I suppose I am OK wit…

Anyone have knowledge over having 1 of my computers Streaming to Ustream, while the other computer plays it?

Any idea? Thank.

System Crash

I was playing on the 64 man hardcore conquest server and as the round ended and a new map was being loaded, my screen turned red for about 10 seconds and my system restarted. I did not see what map was loading for i turned around and looked back to see the red screen. I have an i7 2600k clocked at 3.4 ghz (4.2 when it kicks into turbo mode), 7950 Radeon graphics card, and 8 GB ram at 1333. Anyone have an idea what caused this?

Computer Spec advice for BF4
by Guest RET.Maj.Buckshot=US=- 0 replies
- 806 views
OK...you guys got me scratching that BF itch. As some of you know, I don't have a machine capable of running BF4 and I live in a semi truck. I'm very seriously thinking about returning to the game and possibly coming out of retirement. First things first, if I can manage it and feel it would be a fool-proof investment for my soul (which is very likely), I need to acquire a new rig. I have space and power limitations. Space-wise I have an area in mind that is 10.5" wide x 21" deep x 40" tall. Power-wise I have to use an inverter and my current inverter is only 400 watts. I have found cases that would fit that area but cooling might be an issue because its a relatively e…

Monitor/Graphics card help
by Guest Bluezoid- 9 replies
- 2.8k views
So I pulled the trigger on a new AMD 7970 card which i installed on Tuesday. It has two DVI and one Display Port slots. I ran two of my monitors on Tuesday in the DVI slots with good results. last night I picked up a DVI to Display Port cord and plugged in the third monitor and things got all fouled up, causing me to miss practice. Catalyst Control Center sees the third monitor (it shows it in the monitor list but it is unchecked and dark) but the monitor is black. Also, the two montors that work have overly large displays. Do I need an anlog to digital converter here? Any ideas?

My laptop has been really loud the past couple of days and I don't know what's wrong with it. It's loud whenever the computer is on and I know it isn't from over-heating. I have a sound clip if it would help determine the problem.

Those who need new Video Cards
by Guest RET.GEN.Darmine- 4 replies

Those who have newer processors AMD AM3+, Intel 1155, 1150 and 2011 but are lacking on the GPU side and own a Radeon card. I know some love ATi and I think they are great cards(drivers are sub-par) but I would recommend you wait before buying a 7000 series(better then what you own) they are coming out with a new card that is cheaper and in the same performance range. http://www.pcworld.com/article/2052312/msi-radeon-r9-280x-video-card-review-amd-teaches-an-old-gpu-some-new-tricks.html On another note: If you have a quad processor(930 series or better) with 8 gigs of 1600 ram you'll be fine for BF4 at high setting. If you are starting from scratch once again I wou…

NVidia Drivers are finicky (ver. 327.23)
by Guest Aristo- 6 replies
- 1.8k views
Hey all. I'm usually pretty good about figuring things out for myself when it comes to tech, but I've been a bit irritated lately. I play on a Sager laptop, being at college and all. It's got an older GTX 560M, which has always held up fine. However, the latest drivers for it (327.23) seem to not like my system. Earlier, I was having issues where the screen would go black and Firefox would crash and need to be restarted. The error message was related to the drivers. Likewise, I had a problem yesterday in which everything would lock up and I'd have to do a hard reset of my whole computer. After uninstalling the drivers, I ceased having problems. However, Battlelog won't le…

Monitors

- 2.4k views
I just did an overhaul of my rig in prep for BF4, and I've been using a cruddy 7 year old 19 in HP monitor I got with my very first PC. No point in having the extra pop if I can't actually see the difference. Anyone got suggestions for monitors? My desk isn't deep, so I don't want something huge that I have to sit miles away from in order to see what's going on. Cost isn't really an issue. I'm just looking for something good quality that's going to let me see my games the way they're meant to be seen.

MOS Site.

I was wondering if anyone could help me with this MOS site. My name on my MOS account is still my old name Maysin1337, but when i go to update my name in My Profile to Maysin it says "Unable to retrieve Member details." Has anyone ever had this problem before? I have added a player with the name Maysin, but my account name is still Maysin1337 on the MOS site. I have requested enrollment in a MOS but it doesn't seem to update my stats from my BF3 stats. Does my account name need to be change from Maysin1337 for it to track properly?

Teamspeak: Update required
by Guest RET.LT.Padarom=US=- 4 replies
- 1.9k views
Hey there, maybe someone can help me with a teamspeak issue I've had for a long time: Every time I start teamspeak, it tells me to update to version 3.0.11.1 - I usually download and install this update, but it keeps bothering me with those messages. When I press cancel and try to connect to our TS it also tells me an updated teamspeak client is required. So can someone tell me, how I am supposed to successfully install this update? Thanks in advance
