Title: Anyone else stutter all over the show
Post by: philo-sofa on January 30, 2014, 11:30:01 am
I have constant stutter of the 0.5-2 second (i.e. have clawed one eye out due to frustration already) variety and  I'm starting to wonder about my connection (Fibre, but via a power plug ethernet). Is this a common thing?

Sorry if this is a well known thing: I haven't really trawled forums for whether it's a universal thing or not...

What servers are you playing on? Never heard of this before but I googled and found this, does this fix it?

i dont' have fibre, but I have power over ethernet. Shouldn't it be Ethernet over power? Anyone, last night was a real shitter of a night if that is what you were referring to. Otherwise I am all good.

What GPU are you running? SLI and Crossfire has had some stutter issues.

When I had the spawn bug everyone told me to manually update punkbuster, reminded me of the old days. Where's rex and bob anyway?

I actually manually updated punkbuster a few months ago, it felt like going back in time.

GTX 670; I know it's an AMD branded game but I assume my stuttering must be something other than an Nvidia thing else even I (under a gaming rock) would have heard. And yes sorry: it's Ethernet over power . I've taken to drinking to smooth out my game experience.

Video card artifacting,
hard drive stuttering,
ram crashing,
cpu overheating,

Update PB.

Rex and bob are making sweet sweet man love to one another until they resurface on the forums, the longer they wait the more man love that occurs.

nah nah, wasn't having a crack at you. It is officially called "Power over Ethernet" which is what you said. But I'm saying that in general I think it should be called Ethernet over Power.... seems like it is backwards.

^^ I know man; wasn't taking it personally: I was in fact ass backwards, exactly as you said.


But the big news is something fucking worked; it feels like an different game. I still get the occasional 'big stutter' every few minutes, but all of a sudden I run round corners and surprise people and can actually take them out without suddenly staring at my own death. After doing the DX install thing, I jumped on and played a half round I played and this was the result:

Which as the game is kind of saying hasn't been normal for me in BF4: I have a pathetic ~1.3 KDR. I actually wonder if I was like 3-4 frames behind, as well as the stutter...


Fucking A either way: thanks so much 3viction!!! :D I thought I was getting too old; as it turn out that's true but everyone else is still crap, so overall it's okay. Seriously that one file install did me more good than a hundred reinstalls PB. Bring back rep so I can rep spam this man!

EDIT: ok, found rep button. My life is complete.

I think you boys are getting very confused.

Are you talking about

A: Ethernet connectivity via the 240v sockets on the wall? Generally know as HomePlug, HD-PLC or more generically "Power-Line Communications"

B: Power for devices (such as VOIP phones, IP cameras, etc) being provided over standard Cat5/6 type cabling, which is "Power over Ethernet"

We're not confused, we're confusing. We are talking aboot Ethernet via 240v (or indeed 110v you're a 'merkin) sockets though. I didn't actually know power over Ethernet existed, having said that so always good to learn something new.

unparked your cores?

disabled or enabled hyper threading?

tried this

C:\Users\You\Documents\Battlefield 4\settings, then open note pad and drop PROFSAVE_profile into it and then scroll down anywhere and start a new line and paste in

GstRender.Thread.MaxProcessorCount 8

the 8 or 4 is dependent on your processor, don't fuck it up!

Changing max pre rendered frames to 1 or 2 also helped/did in beta
