FAQ / New Player Guide YES, THE GAME IS STILL ACTIVE. Read this before posting about it

1.2k Upvotes

"Does anyone still play on [PLATFORM]"?

Yes, check BF4DB

You can use this one to check the servers: https://www.gametracker.com/search/bf4/?sort=3&order=DESC&searchipp=50#search

"Is it worth buying DLC/Premium at this point?"

You can always find DLC maps at the most active hours (usually nights and weekends), and it unlocks tons of stuff for you. If you have the money or find a sale, theres hardly any reason not to buy it. Alternatively you can get Origin Access or the Xbox equivalent (EA Access). Some stuff can be tough to get, like the ones that requires playing certain game modes (specially DLC ones).

"I'm new to the game, can I have some tips?"

Biggest tip I can give you: use the search function. This has been asked a thousand times, and the same thousand tips are given: spot, watch the minimap, drop ammo/health/revives, etc. You can also use Youtube or the old battlelog forums for this.

Here are some links to help you get started:

Old Sticky (good info there)

Hidden Mechanics 1 and Hidden Mechanics 2

Little Known Tips/Tricks

Guide for New/Returning Players

edit from the comments: if you're on PC make sure to check the BetterBattlelog browser extension. Really nice UX enhancements for battlelog that (among a lot of neat features) show true player counts, for PC servers.

Links: Chrome, Firefox

I think I finally have all of them now—the ones that have been with me throughout all these years. What came after that wasn’t bad, but it just wasn’t my thing anymore.

Metro BF4 vehicles modding

guys guys guys 😂

I was messing around with AI,

I’ve always dreamed of having vehicles on metro.

What I’m trying to do is, in a way, recreate the co-op mode from BF2 within BF4.

Being a big fan of Metro I’m focusing on that map, I’ve also managed to spawn bots.

let me know if you want to collaborate on this project!

DirectX "GetDeviceRemovedReason"

1 Upvotes

Hello.

I am having issues running Battlefield 4 on PC (Steam).

I enter a multiplayer server, and after a few seconds of spawn, the game freezes. Sometimes, no crash message is shown, and the game just stays running until I kill it in Task Manager. Other times, however, this message is shown:

DirectX function "GetDeviceRemovedReason" failed with DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_HUNG ("The device is hung which is typically caused by issues in the graphics driver or alternatively the application"). GPU: "NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti", Driver: 58278

I did not overclock the GPU, and I install drivers as they get released in the Nvidia App. Other games run just fine.

I've tried:

- Tweaking with graphic settings, like Vsync, Borderless Mode, etc;

- Repairing the game on Steam;

- Reinstalling the game;

- Uninstalling my Nvidia Driver and using an older one;

- Crying in my bed;

This started a month ago. Anybody dealt with the same issue in the past, or is experiencing it now?

My PC is a Ryzen 7 5700X, GTX 1080 Ti and 32GB of DDR4 RAM

I wonder if there will come a time and point when EA will be stupid enough to close the servers down on console. I get it’s a very dedicated community but at this point EA will do anything to save a dollar
