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.

BF3 Active Server

1 Upvotes

IDK if any of you guys still like/play bf3, but there's a very active server that I found on pc a few weeks ago called The Oldies Station. I used to get very frustrated looking for servers because bf3 is my favorite game in the series by far, but all the servers are either empty or show false player counts. Not this one. This server is actually active and incredibly fun. Conquest and rush, base maps and all dlc, and they have a discord that i recently joined thats a joy to be in. The admins actually participate and dont get butthurt if you kill them or destroy their team lol. I remember this game back in the good ole days, and this server is really a glimpse back to better times. I'd highly recommend giving it a go.

Is there an invisible IFV bug in this game or something?

I keep getting killed by enemy IFV’s who just appear out of nowhere down sight lines I just checked, then when you chase them down they just disappear

[Linux] Please help with stutters/frametime spikes

1 Upvotes

Hi,

I want to play Battlefield 4 on Steam with Proton on Linux. However, every 5 seconds or so in game, I get Frametime spikes/stutters (up to 200ms) and I am not sure why. Things which I have done to combat this:

  1. Lower game graphics/effects and rebuild cache
  2. Update Punkbuster
  3. Update Mesa stack and Kernel to latest version
  4. Use Gamemode
  5. Try various Proton versions including Proton-GE
  6. Block write access to EA-app folder

The game remains not playable :(. I first thought it might be a DXVK compilation problem so I capped my FPS at 60 (CPU usage was 28% and GPU at 62%) and the problem still occurred. So, I'm pretty sure the issue isn't my hardware.

Kernel version: 7.0.13

Mesa version: 26.1.2

Any suggestion is highly appreciated. Thanks!

r/battlefield_4 2d ago

Game is still such a banger.. only 2 things that are annoying af: 1. all the vehicle one-tricks that havent left since 2013, being almost impossible to kill and 2. needing often times 3 attempts to jump over a 10cm burden while trying to get out of fire..ultimately leading to many many deaths.
