just getting a black screen.. anyone else had this?

Yep, lots of people are on the forums..

Go into FILTERS and select +5 slots free, pick a server with no queues or full it should work

Yep it is I think. Grr I can't get beyond this now. Avira simply won't let me play this lol. I can't work out how to override it.

Ok sorted. For those with Avira, you'll need to add BF3.exe to your exceptions list. Strange! Anyway, time to enjoy...

Oh I don't believe this ****, was on Live Assistance for the last 50 minutes waiting to talk to someone about this and I finally get down to just 25 people ahead of me, a minute to go and then:

Status: Canceled
There are no advisors available to chat with you right now. Please try again later.

If I don't get access tonight I'll cancel the preorder and go with Amazon, this is just plain rubbish.

I'm back in the queue... not happy!

TBH game for me maxed out runs like butter , ok my rig is not low or med spec , but all this cries of i need to upgrade my computer , you guys should be fine ....all the moans about campers.... what the hell are games developers supposed to do , we cry out because we dont like the console run and gun.In real life if your a sniper etc you stay low in a good spot and pick people off! i dont see the problem .....but dice could limit the amount of snipers etc allowed on a lv like RO2

Graphic settings don't seem to do much on fps lol

Low and ultra setting always around 50 fps with a 5870/amd 955 @3.8

Does anyone else think the UI is a pile of ****?

I don't mean battlelog, but actually ingame.

oh, if anyone is having trouble findng servers, just search for servers with 5+ spaces and you'll find a game in no time.

This filter works good tip.

Whats the concensus on what ultra looks like then?

No thankfully. You shouldn't need to do that. It'll just download and reinstall the missing files.

Can i use my xbox code for the pc beta?

Pighardia · 27 Sep 2011 at 18:48

Just tried a few games and after a few minutes it just closed, no error message or anything. Really quick as if i had closed a window. It's done that twice now.

There seems to be a memory leak with the beta with anyone with more than 2gb of ram which is causing people to freeze\crash\BOSD in game every 10-15 minutes.

not here. runs flawlessly. was on a server for 2hrs.

Strife212 · 27 Sep 2011 at 18:50

Have people installed the new BF3 drivers?

skymook · 27 Sep 2011 at 18:51

Not created my new build yet, but the demo was running fine on my existing system (see sig). It was well playable anyway, and that is with a HIS ATI Radeon HD 4850 1024MB GDDR3. Look forward to all the bells and whistles though. I'm off to build.
