major gameplay issues

penguin1176,

Im with you brother.. waited all this time and letting my son talk me into getting the game. And can't even make through one full mission (while on campaign) without pixels or just cant see anything. My son's game completely locked up on him. This is BS

AMD-FX 6100 3.58ghz
16GB of ram
windows 7 OS 64-bit
two Radeon HD 7770's crossfire set-up.

When i ran BF4 in the test range which should be a reliable reference as to what my computer can or cannot handle.....GUESS WHAT?? my fps was well over 60.. As SOON as I try multiplayer m-m-m-m-micrrostuttterrrr up the **bleep** to the point where, it looks as though i have around 5 fps (this however is not the case, as I have GPU-z and keep an eye on my cards while the game is running, they don't go above 60% usage, it is certainly the processor spiking to 100% randomly during the gameplay). I understand there's always a performance downgrade when relying on off-location (typically cause i'm in canada) servers, but, even when i have less than 20 ping, this remains the same. I have tried everything to do with drivers, am considering a reformat but am extremely doubtful it will resolve anything as, it's grasping at straws for a resolution. Is this my processor? Does anybody else with an AMD set-up similar to this have similar issues? I asked a few people in game, and as far as i was aware there were a few in the game with similar issues to mine, however, they had intel processors. There was one other with an AMD 6 core that had it running fine somehow >_< and from what i've read online thus far, there's some problem with the drivers relating it back to specific motherboards, although this is mostly speculation on my part from what i've read/seen. Hoping anyone else with similar issues will post here as, I don't want to have to go out and buy a $400 processor, when I bought a $300 last summer.
