Battlefield 3 thread - Server details in opening post -

Spent yesterday spotting people with my recon UAV on metro. Got **** all points but it makes a massive difference to the team spotting all those bush whoring tools. Steamrolled them every time on the first part of the map. UAV in the tunnels not so much :p
 
Something hates me, takes me like 20 mins just to find a game, and if it connects then I usually get 'you have been disconnected from the server'.

Can't wait for the working retail version.
 
Not happy, the game runs like crap for me now.

Even worse than when I tested Caspian Border for the first time.

Gettin 43 fps average and 29 minimum (but usually stays in between 35-45 range). Still feels like I was gaming in slow motion. :(

I though the eye could only perceive 30fps?
Most films in the cinema are shown at 25fps.

Or am I wrong?
 
Yeah just been on 2 servers and its a total lag fest, unplayable, im out tonight anyway so cant play but hope its better tomorrow

Guess the server are getting hammered though

We’re more than half way through the open beta and thrilled to see so many people still enjoying the game while continuing to give us great feedback. As part of our dedication to showing you how your feedback is directly affecting and improving Battlefield 3, here are the latest Top-Ten Community Issues that we’re addressing.



1. Squad issues: Cannot play with friends within same squad, squads get split up onto opposite teams, etc.
There will be improved squad functionality in the retail game (including but not limited to): the ability to create squads prior to launching into a game, sticking with your squad when joining a game and continuing together through future games (If team balance on the server allows it), inviting friends to a squad and changing squads once in game.


2. Regarding additional Open Beta content and fixes/patches for consoles, including PlayStation 3 issues with chat and party systems
While we would like to patch the Open Beta, DICE is currently focusing its available resources on polishing the retail game.


3. Will DICE have enough time to iron out everything by release?
Please see General Manager Karl Magnus Troedsson's blog post regarding this question.


4. Can we have ability to change settings/options before deployment into match on PC?
The ability to modify your settings via the deploy screen has been added into the retail game.


5. Issues with terrain stability and “falling into the map” on Operation Métro
This has been fixed for the beta via a server side update.


6. Kill cam sometimes zooms out too far or outside the map
This has been fixed for the launch of the retail game.


7. A bug that sometimes keeps some players from being able to sprint
This has been fixed for the launch of the retail game.


8. Screen flickering/stuttering. Blue screen remains after respawn. Game locks up after deploying C4 (360)
This has been fixed for the launch of the retail game.


9. Downed bodies appear to be dead, but are not
The DICE team has been looking into this issue – which is caused by a combination of incidents in a confined area - and are working hard to address the issue for the launch of the retail game.


10. Why is the hit detection seemingly different from Battlefield: Bad Company 2?
The netcode is one of the many things that we are testing as part of the Open Beta and is not necessarily reflective of the final retail game. The DICE team appreciates and has heard the feedback you’ve provided and is further optimizing online play.



Don’t forget to keep submitting your ideas and issues to the Battlelog forums. Thanks to your help and participation we’re on track to make Battlefield 3 our greatest game to date!
 
Some top 1080p jet footage, nice overview of the jets cockpit.



Ive no issues with the flight ceiling at all, it only looked higher in BF2 as you disappeared into fog, then when you hit the top your plane a lot of the time would spazz out and you'd usually end up going out of bounds. In this your plane is literally tiny but still visible at the top of the Ceiling.
 
Just tried a caspian server for the first time, the map looks fantastic, shame though it was a bit of a lag fest.
 
Right i have finally redownloaded it:rolleyes:

:)

^^ LOL.:D

I do agree with his points about unlocks though. I hate them with a passion.

I'm gonna add some people on Battlelog from the ocuk platoon, so look out for a freind request

1 thing i find really amusing, WHY is everyone saying "Air Vehicles" on that beta forum. We have a word for "Air Vehicles" its "Aircraft". :p
 
Is anyone running with a system similar to the following...

Q6600 @ 3ghz
6870 1GB
4GB ram

And what settings are you using and what fps are you getting?

I have that system but a 4870 512mb and I run mostly low settings, just wondering if a 6870 would be enough juice for this game.
