Battlefield 3 thread - Server details in opening post -

[Marine Iguana]

I'm a bit late to the party but my pc ain't what it used to be.

But is this worth getting as I enjoyed BF2 and BC2 but don't know if my rig in sig can play it well enough?

Erm how do i play the maps from the expansion? karkland etc? i got the limited edition version from GMG. there are no servers showing with the 4 maps from the expansion? are they not released yet i take it?

No they aren't released yet, you just get it for free when it comes out which is some time this year I think I have read on this thread many pages ago.

Oh it's 7am... suppose I better go to bed.

I assume the 28.99 was the pre-pre order price?

I also had problems with this card and BF3 but since downclocking it with the FW update (880 instead of 900) touch wood it was all good. Hope this works for others.

Ok that didn't work so last night I flashed the bios and I played BF3 for over 2 hours without an issue. Gigabyte 560ti oc here.

Had a satisfying few hours jet whoring, nearly got the guided missile unlock but it's gonna be hard choice between that and my current weapon of choice the rocket pods. 14 rockets that unload in a few second and can actually kill infantry and disable vehicles, nice.

What no moaning or saying "Omgz i'm like a BF2 vet and the worlds best Battlefield player and this is not BF2z OMGz money back plezzzz"!!!

Can everyone stop Playing because I am at work till 2 and don't think it's fair

sounds to me like overclock problems and that it could just be more apparent on 560Tis as quite a few manufacturers supply 560Tis with factory overclocks

why crash more in BF3 but not in other games ? quite probably just because BF3 is working the card harder than other current games

I believe this new bios gives more vaults.... I am not 100% on this but it makes sense and yep BF3 works the card

Also i dont have my retail copy so all of you shush!

 

[Buckster]

more volts or lower overclock - your choice same end result

I think prob with factory overclocks is it also can be dependant on your mobo etc - I mean I have an OC'd Gigabyte 480 - I couldn't get it to work at "stock" overclock - at the volts Gigabyte set it to - yet when I RMA'd it they could ...

but after raising the volts from 1.02V to 1.1V -quite a big increase in volts - its stable for me - not ideal - but its at least stable

+1 vsync immediately gets turned off in any fps game

+1

Got to get another i7 rig,Q6600 sits at about 80-90% ingame, some lag but, crazy fun!

Er so the pos STILL doesn't recognise mousebutton 3 or 4 let alone mousewheels in the menus? This is probably the first title that I've had that has had this from day 1. Didn't even bother with the beta because half my mouse (logitech mx) wasn't even working.

Works on my logitech mouse. I have assigned mouse 3 and 4 to prone and knife

 

[Ewaf]

Off I go to work till 5. FUUUUUUUUUUUUUU. Hopefully will be downloaded by then !

 

[Greebo]

WOW if they are paying £39.99 they all deserve to play it early.

I preordered mine from Origin at £19.99 about 5 months ago

Agreed. So long as it's stable I am happy
