That he wrote in great Swedish on fz.se made it more legitimate.
'Svenska är mitt modersmål', BASIC was my third language,
but the first I mastered...
His writings makes ALOT of sense.
* FB2 rewritten to FB3 to utilize more cores.
My take: Needed for relatively slow 8 core processors of NG.
A single console core does not have the punch of a core on your desktop.
* Hard to verify if code is thread s...
Read the original message, it is in Swedish. Not many within EA write Swedish - autotranslate is EASY to detect.
Do you have any reference to where a DICE employee claimed it to be EAs fault?
If they have these kind of races on PC they probably have them on PS4 and Xbox One too. And PS4/Xbox One did not take part in the Beta...
If you have 100 PS4s and no more than one crashes each day.
How big is your problem? (1%) [The reason for a crash could be anything - like other players lined up like a Christmas three balancing on Chuck Norris head]
Scale this to 2 000 000 concurrent gamers it will equal 20 000 crashes each day...
Enough with 80%
Did you notice they actually ran an open Beta?
While I had problems starting the game on PC, once the patch came out I had less problems than with BF3. (But one of the things DICE did was further optimization - to be able to run on dual core CPUs. Optimizing is often the opposite of stabilizing...)
On PS3 I had no issues with BF4 (but I do not play around the clock)
I am also a software dev, 80% is not enough in this c...
Why should this result in better games?
EA informs its shareholders and public about games in development.
Game releases, has problems - stock drops (Shareholders selling)
Suppose it had been postponed - stock drops (for the same reason)
Not telling in advance - stock drops (company has no/uncertain future => shareholders selling)
Isn't really EA one of the companies best positioned for PS4 and XBox On...
But not before they released Battlefront, Mirrors Edge, Dragon Age Inquisition, ... (the list is long)
If you hate them so much - just don't buy.
I want these games and will buy them too!
GutZ31 but interactive games are not like movies or books either!
Linear media
Book - reading it from the beginning, chapter missing!
Return it!
Movies (DVD/Blu-ray) that stops at the same place. Take it out, clean it, put it in - if it stops again.
Ask your self is it the media or the player.
Try with other media - works! It has to be the media, return it as broken physical media. Seller tries it with another player ...
My car is perfectly drivable IFF I drive it at least one time each week. If not the battery drains out and it can not be started. The car in question has been on numerous repairs but the reason can not be found.
Is my car broken?
Is my car perfectly drivable?
Well, it is irritating but I wouldn't argue it is broken.
At the same time it is not perfect.
Perfect is not the opposite of broken - there are lots of steps in betwe...
Higher might be even higher than EA...
It could even be SONY and Microsoft requesting an early release to have 3rd party games at launch.
Both Microsoft and SONY tests games before release, and
stop games that doesn't cut it - why didn't they stop BF4?
- did not crash for them?
- crashed, but releasing was more important for them as well
My PS3 game has worked great, I have never seen a crash.
...
Of cause you can refuse, but why would you?
Are you against the government?
You, yourself, are a fair target for surveillance!

Time limited - release at console launch!
NFS Rivals has won a lot by doing that - sold out for PS4 at my local GAME...
Things might even improve with the post release patches.
I guess both Microsoft and SONY really wanted this game to release on time, I would have... I would actually have offered a free patch release in advance to fix a broken game later.
DICE working extra on the PS4 actually sounds like good news to me. What console specific stuff have they added that needs extra testing time?
And you win the Turing test in the process...

Believable Human behavior and A.I in a war game and you have solved the problem of creating robotic solders.
All future wars after that point will be fought by machines.
You didn't expect that did you?!
Realism + Fun > Fun
DLC is made by artists.
Fixing crashes is programmers/testers responsibility.
Answering the phone, receptionists.
It wouldn't actually help anything if everyone stops taking THEIR responsibility and idle around the crash site...
HTML5 v. Flash videos?
1) 60 degrees is not a problem unless you put it in a box, resulting in 60 degrees air intake...
2) How do you know KZ runs on normal clock?
If any game might utilize boost already it is KZ...
PS3 is the only one on that list I have run
_I_ haven't had any problem.
Is it a specific game mode?
Nice behaved enemies!
They never attack you in your back...
This is not how I have understood the Frostbite engine.
My understanding is that each platform has different code.
And that even data is "compiled" to fit every platform.
(Mantle will be a separate platform even if it has lots in
common with PC)
