BF4 FPS stutter after Final Stand release
After an hour or so of playing on the final stand maps I lost connection. When I rejoined a few minutes later the problem started. Every couple minutes the games doesn't react to my commands. When I'm looking around it freezes what I was looking at and then a second later it will instantly shift to wherever I ended up aiming. I tried installing directx from the BF4 files and when that didn't work I just uninstalled and reinstalled the game. I don't know what to do now but this game has basically become unplayable. And at this point it is not my internet connection causing lag because it also happens in campaign. My fps counter doesn't drop at all during this. Even when it's not happening it's now gotten into my head and I'm just always waiting for it to happen at the worst possible moment.
- Here are some of the fixes that have worked well for others with lag problems:
1. For AMD GPU users disable Catalyst from loading at bootup via MSCONFIG. This was a solution posted on the official AMD forums and seems to help some people.
2. Disable origin in game as it's causes lag problems. To turn off Origin in game log into Origin, in the upper left hand corner click on the word "Origin" in the menu, and then click on "Application Settings". Next go to the "Origin in game" tab and uncheck the "enable Origin in game" box.
3. If you have the Raptr game tracking program running kill the process before playing BF4, this solved my random FPS drops even on Dragon's Teeth maps.
4. If you are using MSI afterburner or Razer Cortex turn it off as some users report that it isn't playing well with BF4.
5. For Win8 users try running BF4 in Win7 compatibility mode. Right click on bf4.exe, select "Properties", then "Compatibility" and then choose run as Win7.
6. Better Battlelog also causes performance issues so try disabling it and see if that helps if you are running it.
7. Some AMD users report that if they disable Mantle and choose to run via Direct X 11 their problem goes away. If you're using Mantle please try Direct X.
