I have a feeling this game is coming at the wrong time for me... got my dissertation to get on with.

so if you see me in game, feel free to jib in and remind me

It's another crazy case where the digital download (which costs 0 to duplicate) costs £45 and it only costs £31 to have it delivered from Amazon on DVD, where you will get an Origin code and a DVD to save some bandwidth. I just don't get it sometimes!

 

[Boozad]

what timezone can we start though? i mean it says on origin that its 0900 but is Uk time or erm some silly US time?

I'm presuming it's UK time.

 

[Keedar]

In my showing 9:00 so i am sure its uk time.Finish work at 13:00 and i will start playing at 18:00.No rush No hype.Anyone knows till when beta will be available?

[Outerarm]

and premium? lol how much extra was that?

edit, just looked at the pricing on origin, wow 45 for the game and 40 for premium. I dont think I could do it ded, I mean 85 quid on a single game? Really?

Best deals I've found so far are BF4 for £26.99 (here) and Premium for £28.99 (here).

Will give the beta a go and if it is fun will buy the game and premium.

I wondered why there was a beta out so soon after the last WHQL. I'm not overly keen on installing beta drivers just for the BF4 beta, if I get issues with 320.49 I'll just stop playing it.

 

[tom_gr7]

hmm yeah its not bad doesnt feel buggy or anything.

 

[Bsrz]

just booted up the bf4 beta and boy o boy does it look good, my fps however must be below 30 at all times even on min settings, i have sli 780s so expected to run it fine on ultra.... any ideas?? currently running drivers 327.23 geforce experience says that is the latest driver available.

 

[tom_gr7]

its a beta mate, so its not going to run spectacularly. The whole point in a beta is to fix any bugs, performance issues and gameplay balancing. Also are you running on 3 screens? That will have an impact on how the any beta game runs. Final release WILL run like a charm over 3 screens on your system.

 

[Boozad]

I'll give it a thrash on ultra with a single 780 tonight, see what happens.

 

[Bsrz]

update - I did not have beta drivers selected on geforce experience apparently just downloaded 331 so I will give it ago now.

update - just played a game on ultra easy 80-90 fps so smooth and looks amazing.

 

[Outerarm]

I'll be giving this a go tonight, first on a single monitor with the new geforce drives and then see if I can get it to 3... will post results!

 

[Boozad]

I just read elsewhere that nVidia cards just can't handle it until the new beta drivers are installed. I can't be arsed to go through all of that tonight so doubt I'll bother with the beta before the weekend. I might just wait until full release.

erm it took me like 4 left clicks to install the beta.

although, i might wait till the final release too.

I was really confused what you meant by Magician cards, but you've edited it now to make sense

iPhone autocorrect is a pain.

I'd go through a complete clean install after a Restore Point if I was installing beta drivers.

 

[Keedar]

I like the game so far.Its like Bf 3 with better menu I am playing on high with beta drivers.Gtx680.
