massive framerate drops, stuttering and quick screen freezing. Only on BF4.

shyt was just fine yesterday. That's what makes me think hardline beta was behind it.
Bring up that benchmark graph. Press the ~ key to bring up the console while in game and type in
"perfoverlay.drawgraph 1" without the quotes.

Do you see spikes?

PCs are pissing me off. Now my fukking sound card is acting up :dead:

When I put it in 5.1 mode, s/pdif out, it plays fine for 5 minutes and then it starts to cut out for no goddamn reason. It just started recently. I have no idea why. I guess I'll have to reinstall the driver or something.


Edit: I guess it was a driver issue. At least I hope. fukking Windows 8.1 updates fukking shyt up I guess

the usb card reader isn't working? or do you have a card reader that's hooked directly to your mobo?

if it's usb, just try another port
I have a card reader that I installed a while ago. I plug my SD cards directly into the reader. It's no big deal, because I can just import my photos with the card in the camera via USB anyway.

the thing is xinput has become 'standard' for pc games. Sony could release drivers, but they would need to establish their own api, and have it supported in games, to really offer full support for their controller

That's why I won't buy one for my PC. I'm a little annoyed the xbox one controller can't work wirelessly on the PC yet.

at this point the DS4 works pretty much flawlessly so I really don't see what Sony can do to offer better support. The latest ds4 tool works with virtually every game via blutooth without any third party tools or workarounds.

So the ps4 controller uses xinput? If that's the case I might as well grab one :ld:

Yup.I just press the home button the DS4 and it auto connects to the bluetooth on the desktop. I then just click the ds4tool and launch it from my taskbar and it's changes to xinput.

The DS4 uses DirectInput, but the DS4tool is an XInput wrapper for the DS4. Like I mentioned while playing Rising it was a little confusing getting used to Xbox button prompts, but it's a non-issue right after that. I just had no idea they even made the touchpad work as a mouse also until earlier today. The controller works pretty much flawlessly, that's how I finished Brothers earlier.

So props to whoever created DS4tool, I was just wishing we seen official Sony support for the controller.
