after patch sound loop crashes almost instantly upon entering server...half the time i can;t even spawn before it crashes. tried many serves/maps, tried re-installing graphics driver...basically nothing I should have todo cause its a broken script DICE decided to give us as a 'patch'. I think BF4 has just taken the record as world's worst programmed game of all time.
Same problem here.
Game worked very good before last patch.
I have 2 problems now :
1. Game freeze + sound loop on most maps, 1 min after joining
2. TDM no sounds...
Amatures really.
If I was a developer at DICE or EA, i'd quit before EA/Dice becomes a stain on your CV.
Found a fix that may work for those with nVidia cards, not AMD sorry.
Ok, I can now play on some maps but not all before the freeze & sound loop which I need to open task manager & crash the game myself.
So, this is how I did it (from another post of someone who found a workaround).
I deleted the nVidia sound drivers from device manager.
I opened the NVIDIA folder in C:\ deleted the audio files from there, theres also a %temp% file somewhere (I'll hunt down my orginal source & edit this later) but I never got that far.
Then I restarted & I can play on most maps, not Paracel Storm, Dawnbreaker or The Locker on China rising.
Operation Metro crashes after a few minuts but Firestorm & Caspain Border seemed OK.
Apparently DICE know about it & are working on a fix according to Battlelog.
Fingers crossed.
Hope that helps someone.
