All my friends have the same issue. We have different systems and hardrware and are sufficiently adept at tweaking to know our sh*t.
I'm talking Win 7, Win 8.1, atis, nvidias, i5, athlons, quad core, 4, 8, 16 rams, beta, non beta drivers.
Yet we all crash like no tommorow. After the last patch it did become playable (except of few other maps) but recently (1-2 Dec), it did get more severe. We can't finish a game now.
For the time being we set to other games, to save our sanity, but it can't go on for much longer. EA hypes premium quality. Gameplay, Maps, Gfx - it all is good. I really enjoy the game. But the issues are breaking everthing to shreds.
I am an objective person, I am highly trained in critical thinking. Yet, I sense that day by day the subjective feeling of dissapointment is taking over slowly. ANd I don't like that.
On Friday I did a complete system reinstall, I put all the latest drivers and updates onto the system followed by Battlefield 4. I played BF4 on Saturday and was able to play for an hour before it crashed with the freeze and sound loop. However as of Sunday, despite making no changes to my system BF4 is no longer crashing, I played for 6 hours on Monday without a single crash, before the reinstall I was crashing every few rounds. I will put software back onto my system slowly to see if something I had installed before the format was conflicting with BF.
