"Dead pixel"? Only in BF4?

[mbryant]

So I was playing BF4 and in the top left of the screen I noticed a black pixel sized spot, I launched another game and didn't see it and I also pulled up an all white image and saw nothing out of the ordinary. Tonight I pulled up BF4 again and had it on my secondary display and saw the "dead pixel" in the same area.

Thoughts?

Sounds like a visual glitch. It will probably be fixed one day, although not anytime soon.

If it's only in BF1 on multiple monitors then it's not a dead pixel and an artifact of some kind.

I'd suggest verifying the game via Origin to make sure it's not some kind of corruption in the program and then maybe installing the latest GPU driver if you haven't or reinstalling it if you already have it, after uninstalling it with DDU of course so it's a clean install.

All Swedish game developers have a function call, pMessWithMBryant(int) in their code. Each game that has it, has its own implementation, that is to say, in BF4 it is a black pixel, in another game it could be a rainbow flash, or a frame tear in a specific location.

 

Now, you need to understand that the developers don't really want to do this, they are forced to do it by the Swedish Government. The big question is, just what did you do to piss off the Riksdag?
