    Yeah that's what I get out of my MSI when overclocked (max 85) so you should see a bit better than it.

    And i can't play the bloody game.
    Bloody Origin, i hate it.

    I press the button to join the game, i wait 1 minute for it to load, then the game stucks at //LOADING.

    Attempted to join the game like 5 times with no success.

    Origin Fail, EA Fail, Not Buying the game.

    Did you manually download the punkbuster software control and add BF4 to it? I had to do that to get it working.

    Also check it has not opened the game window on your task bar but is not putting your window over to it.

    Yes, fantastic, but i should be able to run the bloody game straight away, not to look 2 days for solution on ''How To'' in the BF discussion thread going trough every single post and try every bloody solution.

    I stopped playing EA games when i first encountered Origin problems couple of years ago, i thought this is no the case now and that the stupid Origin will work, but NO, i come back from work, i have 2 hours of time to play, and i will bloody spend it on searching the solutions and troubleshooting.

    EA will not have my money this time as well. *(&$^£ origin.

    Yeah, I agree with you. I'm not sure why, but they haven't fixed this issue... People have been experiencing this from day one. For some reason, BF4 comes with a really old version of Punkbuster, LOL. :rolleyes:
