Battlefield 4 laggy knife animation and other stories - HELP PLS *-*
So I'm posting this here because I am having a whole lot of issues with playing Battlefield 4 on my PC.
I have reinstalled the game twice so far, none of the installs has solved any of the issues im running into. In fact, the last install seems to have added a few new bugs.
So these are the issues I experienced after installing the game for the first time:
1. The icons for your weapons and gadgets that you can see on top of your deployment-screen when joining a match took a couple of seconds to load, while everything else was already there.
2. When deploying for the first time on a server, the sound takes at least 1 second of gameplay to start. Sometimes all the ingame sounds start playing from there on, sometimes the sounds come in one after another.
3. The weirdest of the initial bugs: when being in a vehicle, I would see random hitmarkers while toggling from first to third person mode. After a while I figured out a pattern: after dealing damage to a player/vehicle, toggling the view would give me a hit marker. The time span between the the moment of dealing damage to something to the toggling event doesn't seem to matter.
With this first install, I experienced one additional, very annoying bug after the last big update to Battlefield 4:
4. The knife animations started to become laggy. There was no ingame lag, my framerate was ok (my average is somewhere around 85 i think). I've tried getting rid of this by changing the network smoothing level, but that didn't change anything. It seems to be the animation itself. This alone is pretty annoying for me, as I enjoy knifing people a lot. The worst part about this bug is though that I can't counter knife anymore. Doesn't matter if I spam F during the whole animation or press it once when the dialog shows up - I can't counter knife.
So the first reinstall didn't do anything, same bugs.
After reinstalling, I've still had the inital four bugs plus the following:
5. More soundbugs. I first noticed it when sitting in the AA on Paracel Storm; Firing the secondry weapon would cause my game to replay the firing sound of the rockets again about 3-5 seconds after actually firing them. This bug has so far occured multiple times while using vehicles.
I've absolutely no idea what can cause bugs like this. I've played Games like Battlefield 3, Far Cry 3, Assassins Creed 4 and many others on this PC and never had any issues like this (made some hardware-adjustments before reinstalling battlefield 4 for the last time though).
I'm not sure if anyone knows a solution for any of the bugs I'm experiencing, but any kind of solution-attempt or information is appreciated. (And don't hesitate to ask for any additional information you might require to help me)
Thx guys 🙂
EDIT 1:
My system specs:
-MSI Z87-G45 Mainboard
-Intel i7-4770k Processor
-Gigabyte GTX 970 GPU (I've been using an ASUS GTX 770 prior to adding that card, changing the GPU didn't change anything except for improving performance)
-16GB Kingston Genesis RAM
-Samsung 840 EVO, 250GB (System, Windows 7 Ultimate, 64 bit, legal version, I've heard that there have been issues with cracked Windows versions)
-Samsung 850 EVO, 500GB (Game, Used a WD 1TB HDD prior to this SSD, so far only change has been that my loading time has decreased a lot, less soundlag at the beginning of the round)
-Creative Soundblaster Z (I've been using my onboard sound prior to that, changing the soundcard didn't have any negative influence on the sound, the sound-repetition seems to have occurred first after reinstalling Battlefield 4 for the second time)
