Battlefield 3 thread - Server details in opening post -

wouldnt say fraps lowers ur fps "if not recording" / put it on record and it could cripple it.

If you have a fast quad CPU then fraps will not have a major impact on fps, slow CPUs and especially dual core will see a big drop in fps. I record with fraps and I lose 2-3 fps at most, this with an i7 920 at 4Ghz.

Fraps used to just monitor fps has little to no impact.

Ok Thanks

So just for monitoring purposes Fraps is fine.

Will check in a moment how much FPS I get at the mentioned settings with 5850, Q6600 and 4GB ram

I'm petty lol, you really have no clue.


Easier said than done and yeah it is a big deal when you're distracted on the battlefield because you got to hunt down that medic and spam him with Q. Face facts there is not a massive outcry for the commo-rose for nothing on many forums, players want control over their actions back and not to be lead by the hand like we are playing it on console. BC2 is not a patch on BF2 team/squad play wise, not having a comm-rose is one of the reasons why.

I'll let the players that appreciate the rose carry on.







Teamwork is the key word here, I petty those that do not see this.

Hmm, I agree with this very much.

comms rose is needed in the game

what worries me is than no one is cying out for a Command system

Redownloading now. Some interesting but minor changes.

Looks like they took the opportunity do try some balance tweaks before the beta, still seems like this is purely a server/Battlelog testing phase though.

Weapons:

Increased damage of bolt sniper rifles at long ranges for two hit kills.

hang on, so those playing with old client will be doing less damage than those that have grabbed new client? or is that a server side patch applied.
Confused (easily done)

Do you have to uninstall your game and re-download the whole thing? I'm not up for that.

As it should be we should add.

Bit odd to have an optional update. Will people be playing two different versions?

How on earth do you delete cache as well?

Keep getting disconnected, can't connect to login server.

You need to delete your old Alpha trial and re download
