Well with the ultra settings with my rig I'm getting pretty much 44FPS constantly, GFX card is at 99% though apparently. My CPU is back at stock though not 4.2 currently.

How are you displaying the FPS in bf3?

Does anyone else get random CTD with no error message or anything?

Seems to be a common issue with either the server or client randomly crashing (though if you're on a caspian server it's possible you're being kicked)

I found it happened repeatedly when i was trying to play in windowed mode, but that could have been coincidence.

Thanks for the reply mate, I've ony done the Metro map I think it is. So annoying as every time I'm doing well or get a good kill streak that is when it happens! As selfish as it sounds I'm glad I'm not alone.

I think they're keeping the password to themselves this time.

Shame,I still haven't managed to get onto a Caspian server

When it crashes back out look in the bottom left as well and see what the message you get, it might say something like the connection timed out (which suggests it was the server, though i'm not certain is definitely is)

Oh question for you lot....

I turn motion blur off in the options, save changes, go back in to the options again and it says it's turned on? strange bug it seems as it's definitely turning it off but not registering the off in the menu?

AFAIK you have to restart the game for graphical changes to take effect.

Helis in Caspian don't seem to be able to survive more than 30 seconds with jets around.

I'm having major CPU heat issues with this beta, all other games run under 80c including Crysis 2 and Deus ex, but my CPU hits 95 in metro, very strange, I'm not going to play any more as I think it maybe the coding. Is anyone else seeing a temp jump?
