Has anyone tried this game? I got a copy as a gift for Christmas. I've been playing through the campaign trying to get use to the equipment and game play. I have lots of problems with lagging, sound jitter and intermitent freezing.
I have a PC with an i7 cpu, 8GB ram, amd 6900 graphics card, lots of drive space, wifi-n connection..........so wtf is the problem? I even switched to google chrome (identified as the best choice for this game). Uninstalling and reinstalling my sound driver helped for a while. All my drivers are current. I even lowered the video resolution.
.It is not a great pleasure to play this game. I can only imagine the horrible play out on the servers playing with other gamers
.I only got mine to work well after buying a GTX 770 for 350$. Battlefield 4 sometimes just doesn't work because EA and Dice just don't care

You are not alone.. it even does that on PS4 and Xbox One. The game is/was full of massive bugs that made it unplayable for many.
I don't understand, it's the 4th version. Should be worked out by now.
No it is a new game, with new coding, and new tech involved. There is one hell of a difference between Windows NT and Windows 7, but technically Windows 7 is just a newer version.
They rushed the release (as usual with gaming companies) to get it out with the release of the new consoles plus of course the Christmas season.
So Battlefield 3 is completely new coding from Battlefield 4?

Totally new coding for everything? well that is a good question.
Battlefield 2 to 3 I would have said yes, since there was a 6 year gap.
This time around there was only a 2 year gap but even that in computer terms is a long time and there would be fundamental code changes, along with some reuse of old code of course.
Graphics and processor power have increased a lot since 2011, which means the demands of the player for better graphics has increased. While the principles of the game has not changed much since Battlefield 1, the graphics has, and even from 3 to 4 there has been a graphics bump. All this requires new type of coding.
On top of that, they expanded the multi-player aspect of Battlefield and that certainly requires a ton of coding changes. They added a bunch of online features that were not part of Battlefield 3.. and it was many of those features that screwed up.
So BF4 is kinda Windows 8, and we can expect a .1 version that comically misses the point of what players want?
I'm convinced that I have enough machine for this game, just not sure what the issue is.
You are already on version .1, if not more. The patches have been massive as far as I understand. And there is nothing wrong with Windows 8.. it does not crash or lag.

I have Win 7.
I'm sorry you're having problems with it and I hope you get it worked out. In the meantime if you're looking for some free games that are a lot of fun in the same genre you should check out Ghost Recon: Online, it's free and high quality.

Try lowering the graphics settings. That will often help.
