Just had my 1st hacker experience, unishred his name was, he was 312-0, didnt hang around long as you could imagine

He was ranked 1

Just joined the same bloody server again, and i was on his squad.

Why do these people bother?

UK KillerCreation.co.uk #51 he is on btw

Looks like him and his friends are both using cheats, but why do it on a Veteran account, good bye EA games.

First run in with a hacker (that I know). He was teleporting people to his C4 laced trap. What a ****, does not bode well if it is compromised already

Oh snap

Sounds like you were on the same server as myself, not at the same time but probably the same server, same thing happened to me, planted a radio beacon underground, then found myself topside and blown up with c4

Glitchers and hackers.

No just really bad netcode.

Dice have lost a lot of pre-orders over the beta, I was wondering if anyone has cancelled their pre-order over the beta?

The netcode is pretty horrible at times in it and not being able to join squads with friends is a big fail, but I don't think I would cancel a pre-order over it, I'd like to think that stuff would be fixed quick enough.

Go back to the 275.33(i think) drivers everying past them have been terrible. Uninstall all old drivers then clean install 275.33's.

Nope, i play in eyefinity so its hard to run, been playing with settings to get better framerates:

That yields the following:

min max avg
39, 114, 62.315

4800x900 though, game still looks good but i want to play on my native eyefniity res 5760x1080. Doesnt look like that possible without triple or quad gpu's. And unless i happen to run across a large chunk of loose cash thats not gonna happen =/

Interesting to see your results and spec Gerard, as it happens my friends PC (which resides next to me in my office) is pretty much the same spec:

x2 6970 in xfire
i7 2600k (at stock)
8gb Patriot Viper ram
3x24" Dell's @ 5760x1200

He is thinking of replacing on of the 6970's for a 6990 to go for tri-fire, not sure yet how much difference it will make...

I think he gets around 40fps average on Ultra so far (using 11.10)

Second go at getting into a game and guess what? Half the enemy team were no scoping everyone with sniper rifles, even while running/jumping about.

Had I not joined Bronken I would be cancelling my pre order tbh. Pish poor way to demo your new game EA

I have to ask, i understand the flashlight being able to blind you underground, darkness and all but how on earth does it do the same job outside in the lovely bright sun??
I doubt you would be able to tell its even on never mind being blinded by it

Knowing Epic it will be an Xbox exclusive.

What's wrong with the netcode? I much prefer the hit reg to be server side rather than client side.

Lazy programing, hopefully it will be adjusted to not blind in daylight.

Ive been looking for trifire results and so far found none for eyefinity res. I did however find a video of a guy running dual gtx 590's, he claiming to get around 75 fps on ultra with no fsaa. Assuming his fps are legit then it would seem that QUAD gpu's are required for good multiplayer performance, at least in the Beta. I was looking at replacing a 6970 myself for a 6990 but it looks like it still wouldn't be upto snuff unless i kept my res at 4800x900.

No, I quite like the game.

People are expecting too much from BF3, beside is only a beta at the moment.

I think the people who cancelled their order are the one that jumped into the BF bandwagon when ea released the caspian border's video on youtube.

barmyllama · 5 Oct 2011 at 00:12

I played in the Alpha and hadn't pre ordered before or after it. Now I've had plenty of time in the beta I've actually pre ordered now.

rogueblade · 5 Oct 2011 at 00:15

The fact that I'm enjoying it this much with one map and a very buggy map at that means the full game is just going to be incredible.

Interesting, if he does go for it I'll post some numbers up. I know my own 5970 struggles, but not in a fps way, on single monitor I get about 60-65fps (using Fraps) but it stops and starts every 3-4 seconds. Very frustrating. If I lower it to medium fps jumps higher but the stop starting issue goes away. On my own Eyefinity setup the 5970 manages about 45-50fps on low in 5760x1200. I've not tried lowering the res outside of native yet...

Edit: also, maybe this is totally unfounded but I'd be concerned for stable driver performance for things like Quadfire. Do you reckon they've got this nailed on yet?

RavenXXX2 · 5 Oct 2011 at 00:22

^^ 1GB of vram is killing your performance at higher IQ.
