Re: [PC] Stretched, Rainbow, and/or Flashing Textures

I haven't tried the stuttering on a different server to see if it still happens and its relation to undiagnosed packet drops, but to test it against today I used the same server that I used yesterday, and though the stuttering disappeared, the textures are in some of the later stages of decomposition seen in the video.

I haven't updated drivers since upgrading to Windows 8 in early January, where I used the latest drivers for each component at the time. I'll see if I can update/downgrade the gpu drivers from amd, see if all of these various, multi-application graphics issues are still present, and report back. Some of them though, are pretty elusive and decide to appear at random, especially the 100x100 boxes of flickering stuff on the screen in any application.

Since this doesn't only happen in bf4, it might not be a file issue- but I'll try repairing it too. Thanks for all of these suggestions!

    Okay, now that is f'ed up... was near first place going defib/combat medic only, and the game just closes after pausing for a moment. Not sure if the sound was looping since my headphones were off, but the game just froze for no reason while I'm walking, nothing graphically intensive. It closed itself afterwards. GPU was only at 60 degrees Celsius, nothing was overheating and no hardware was being maxed on resource usage. Wasn't kicked, either.

    This is after I seemed to have fixed the issue by repairing the game, too. I didn't change the driver yet because I figured I was on the latest version.

    EDIT: ...and it freezes the system for 30 seconds then closes itself again! This time the gpu was at a meager 50 degrees Celsius, cpu at 40 degrees, and cpu/ram usage remained stable throughout the ordeal, just like before.

    EDIT 2: Error on battlelog was "Error: Client closed down connection. Check your network connection".

    What you experienced this time seems to be a random issue which happens once in a while... I don't know any fix for it though (and I doubt if anyone does). These random disconnects happen since Day 1 and, as far as I'm aware, they are not related to any PC parameter spikes or Internet connection issues. As much as I hate to say this, I don't think that anything can be done about them.

    Damn, I guess my other issue that's been happening since Day 1 about closing the game using the QUIT button after a match ends still prevents me from joining another server is also not fixable? Battlelog just tells me bf4 has stopped responding, and use task manager to close it down- despite bf4's process having already been ended or not existent at all. This happens an excessive amount of time no matter how I end the game, and sometimes takes 10 minutes to rejoin.

    As far as I know it isn't. I already got used to it to the point where I only close BF4 by terminating the process in Task Manager... not exactly the healthiest way, but heck, at least I can connect to the other server after 20-30 seconds (only the direct process termination seems to shorten the process).
