Battlefield 3 thread - Server details in opening post -

For those of you using stereo headphones make sure to change audio settings to headphones and enable stereo sound, makes it sound much better.

What about stereo mode does it just up the volume or something ?

I have been using wartapes but I will try the headphone setting

Using goldring ns 1000.

Cheers.

Don't know if someone has posted it but the password is shoppingcartsareagoodride, i get the server is full message when using it.

It is a bit of a struggle to get on a CB map at the minute. I think everyone knows the password

EA/Origins have been ***sing me off lately. Got an invite to the open Beta from them and I tried logging in, then it says the account is not allowed???

I saw a dude on a server who was ranked 40.

Or doing it the other way looks like i will be awake all night trying to get in.

Can't join any games?

Just get stuck at "joining server".

 

[weyland yutani]

Are a lot of people suffering horrendous lag and constant disconnects or is it just my crap interwebz?

There's another way?

Must have missed that, what do you do?

Just got done on my first round of caspian. It's pretty awesome and running fairly well, lowest fps was 46. First time in a jet and the feeling was awesome! Will definitely be getting another 5850 for xfire though.

 

[badcompany]

not impressed to be honest to fast and twitchy not like BF2 as promised by some.


looks nice but looks ain't everything.

Just got back from the pub (Neil, I know what you are going to say) and its finally downloaded. Playing soon!

Dont get another 5850, I have them in corssfire. I can play everything on high except shadows and AA has to be low otherwise I run out of VRAM. Cant do anything about that as the cards only have 1GB VRAM so sell your 5850 and get a 6970 instead. I'm thinking of selling my 5850s....

Wow not bad at all, scaling very well.

This is my current setup (a gtx 460 is on the way and soon enuff a quadcore/2gb extra ram )

E2180 @ 3.1GHZ
2GB RAM
4850 512mb, slightly OC'd.
Win 7 64 bit/latest ati preview drivers

And surprisingly I can run it at 1280*1024, everything set to low on a 32 player server and it is very playable, if I put the same settings in BC2 it will run worser although BC2 will look better I think the way they've implemented the scaling for older systems is very good.

Next step, see how high I can crank it up at a playable FPS.

So those worrying about they're setup need to chill, my PC was built over 3 years ago and can still play it smoothly.

Ok, i've tried shoppingcartsareagoodride and videokilledtheradiostar but that's not working on any Caspian server I try that isn't instantly full within 20 seconds of the round starting. This is rubbish EA, sort it out! Either don't publicly give out the password (or deal with those that do) or let everyone play.

 

[topgun06]

Its just saying "Installing" in origin. Must have been like this for a few hours (I've been out) Humm...

 

[Swifty123]

Need password for caspian server

 

[matty114]

Was talking about bypassing the password
