Valued internet, I have purchased and played* Battlefield 4. I have thoroughly not enjoyed my experience with the game thus far. I should note, that the "*" next to "Played" means that I have launched the game about a dozen times and failed to complete a match or level or anything. I played in the test range for a while, things went very smoothly and I even bumped the game up to Ultra just to see how amazing it looked. It was freaking beautiful. So, I bumped it back down to low/medium and tried to launch into campaign. Here's where the problems started. I played about a minute and a half and the game locked up and crashed to the desktop. There was some kind of message about bad arguments being sent to my video card. This problem persisted no matter what resolution or quality I put the game on. I managed no more than about eight minutes into the campaign. I gave up and tried to load into multiplayer thinking that maybe there was just some slight issues in the manor of Medal of Honor. Lo and behold, upon loading into a match of multiplayer I was met with the same issues. Plus several other major problems including but not limited to, major lag, framerate crashes, and occasional moments of total brokenness. All of these things happened during my play time before my game crashed and sent me back to the desktop with the "Bad arguments" error.
I've never encountered this error message before. I have no idea how to handle it. My system setup is as follows: AMD Phenom II X4 955 processor overclocked to 3.2 ghz, 4 gb DDR3 Ram at 1600 mhz, and an AMD Radeon HD 5770 1 gb Video Card, also overclocked. I've updated drivers and tried replacing and reinstalling the drivers. I've overclocked my CPU slightly, and I've overclocked my GPU a bit. My system meets the requirements for the game and a little bit more. I'm very disappointed in this game and unfortunately cannot review it at this time since I can't play the damn thing.
On an unrelated note, this week's Humble Bundle is pretty nice. As is the Indie Gala Codemasters Sale, so check those out. Humble Bundle is featuring Garry's Mod, Magicka + DLC, Orcs Must Die 2 complete collection, Natural Selection 2, Sanctum 2, and Serious Sam 3. It's promising to add more games on Tuesday so we'll see what else shows up. Indie Gala features Damnation, Clive Barker's Jericho, Overlord, Overlord 2, Overlord Raising Hell, Operation Flashpoint Dragon Rising, and Operation Flashpoint Red River. Both bundles can be currently purchased for less than $11 to get all the content.
So that's that. Have fun internet, We'll talk again soon.
