Upcoming Battlefield 4 PC Beta Patch Detailed, “CPU Optimizations and Win 7 Performance Improvement”
DICE’s Johan Andersson via Twitter revealed some details about what all improvements Battlefield community can expect to see in upcoming Battlefield 4 PC beta patch.
Johan confirmed that the patch will come with CPU optimizations and some massive improvements will be made to performance of Battlefield 4 beta on Windows 7.
Spent last 24 hours fighting PC graphics driver thread contention & stalls in #BF4. Believe I’ve won this battle, but not yet the war

However Johan added that “Windows 8 and DX11.1” are still the better options to enjoy Battlefield 4.
So expect some improvements in the next #BF4 OpenBeta patch. Though Win8 w/ our DX11.1 backend is definitely the fastest path (until Mantle)

@Vassilieev and neither do you have to. Windows 7 should work fine, please test after the OpenBeta has been updated
