Yes i agree with you m8, i think they do stuff like this to try and make us buy new gear, this always seems to happen when they bring new stuff out, my isp has just released a new more powerful superhub, costs £50, then this starts happening, but they are not the only ones, my TV satellite company Sky is the same, everytime the guarantee is close to running out on my Skybox etc they bombard me with e-mails etc asking me to take out cover which i refuse, then i suddenly start to develop problems with my box, fucking scheisters the lot of them m8.

I probably will be in a minority, obviously so many people will have Nvidia cards but if you look at some of the posts here lately and what people talk about in the servers the minority is growing, there seems to be so many people griping about these drivers lately, i am glad i changed i should never have went back to Nvidia.

This is the reason i went back to Radeon/AMD, i ain't had a good driver from Nvidea since June 2012, all drivers since and up until last week when i changed cards were shite, they would make my screen go black for a couple of seconds when i was on the website with messages saying "drivers have failed"

I don't have another, you mean i have to go and buy one....more money spent on BF4 lol, so far this game has cost me about £270

What do you mean by "Swapping out your cable"?

Would a change in ISP be worth doing, i have just about had it with Virgin it never seems to end for me?

This is what i see when i hit change adapter settings, then what i see when i right click on Network Connection and Properties, i don't see anything like you have shown me.

This is one i'm getting in Cod5 at the moment XI DM server but it is not affecting my game at all, it is only BF4 where my game is affected....strange.

This is XI Euro server at the moment there is more data on this one to look at.

Yes my PC is hooked up to my Cable, not sure what you mean about using my PC in a network at home?

This is XI Euro server at the moment, this looks ok but the server is empty whereas the last one was full dunno if that makes a diffence?

How about this one, this is a British server too.

This is one i'm doing at the moment, i will get one later if i start to suffer severe packet loss in the afternoon like has been happening all week.

Lol i can't find my paint program anywhere m8, no snipping tool either, things go missing on my PC and hide themselves away, i really have no idea what goes on with it sometimes. I appreciate all the feedback i am getting here thanks to all for the help.

Hope you don't want me to post a picture of it using screenshot or anything, for some reason i cannot make screenshots as i have no paint program or no snipping tool, none that i can find anyway, certainly not in my "Accessories" or anywhere else i have looked lol, i have no idea what goes on with my PC sometimes, i think it has a life of it's own, doing a test now but apart from a slight packet loss occurring very briefly it is looking good but as i said it usually does run ok in the morning it's as the day goes on it gets worse, DuckyofDeath it is looking as if it is not my home network that is at fault but elsewhere, this is what i saw last night too.

I got this after about 30 minutes Trace Count 150 Displayed Samples 135 to 144 does that mean anything i ain't got a clue? Why is it when i play in the morning it is sometimes ok but as the day goes on it gets worse to impossible?

Where in Windows do i check this stuff.?

Under the box where you are supposed to enter IP there are a few choices, Google, Twitter etc and there was an IP for Nessoft site or something so i entered that and it is now plotting a route and a graph it looks like it has 10 options where the route passes through think my home or hometown is first as it says darl I7..Darlington being my home town then 3rd and 4th down is Virgin my internet service provider, the 4th is definately saying Packet Loss, but i really have no idea what i am doing haha, how do i post a "sample"?

Haha yes if the plotter recognises a server i input, but it don't so far.

Ok i put the IP of our Euro server in and it says "invalid trace target, couldn't resolve host name, says make sure you enter a valid IP address", this is what i put in 185.16.85.139:47520, thing is i probably played less on our server then others i play on, ours is either empty or full, depending on what time of day it is, but i have no idea where to find IP's of other servers i play on.

Anybody know how to solve the problem of Packet loss, i just spent £200 on a new Graphic card for this game and i am hardly getting any benefit of it at all, some days the game runs ok and some it runs like crap, since Tuesday i have been suffering with sever packet loss problems, this morning the game ran fine now again this afternoon my frame rate is up and down like a fiddlers elbow going from 200 to 6, i ran the performance test in game and it gave me this message "Network connection is having severe issues with Packet Loss, consider turning off other devices using internet connection while playing games" what exactly does it mean turn off other devices using internet connection while playing game?......what devices are we talking about and how do i use my internet connection to turn them off?...i am baffled, please don't tell me to lower my graphic settings as i said i just spent £200 on a new card so that cannot and should not be the answer, i have my setting set the same as in this video TSW posted a while back but i'm seeing no benefit whatsoever, the odd occasion lately when i have not suffered Packet Loss my game ran great even with settings on Ultra.....help please. http://www.xtremeidiots.com/topic/40820-bf4-players-have-a-look-hope-it-helps/
