Lol, 3 billion?

I had the CTD during the beta, a lot. I downclocked everything and that improved it, but it still happened.

Well, my crossfire RAM usage issue has been resolved by upping to 8GB Ram.

Runs smooth as butter now.

What resolution and settings are you playing at? Im curious as to how upgrading your computer RAM solved the alleged VRAM issue. Also Windows Task Manager shows BC3 using just 1.8GB of RAM.

Hi, I managed to fix this by creating a profile. Basically, the profile makes the x and y axis the same as the mouses x and y axis; then in game, just make sure you have no joystick bindings for these axis and it should just work.

Create a .pr0 file, put this in it, save it, and then load it:

This will help with the intermediate deadzone, where you have to push the stick all the way to get a reaction.

Here's a match with someone on support using a Mortar for the whole round http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ngnKGF0EdDk

Seems a bit OP for the small maps when crowded with 64 players but supposedly the opposite side is told where you are when you set up the mortar, can't say i've noticed that.

It's quite good but on the bigger maps, it really does blow. As you can see from the video it needs to literally land right on top to kill.

So for that map, it will absolutely own due to how compact the map is and how bunched up people are.
 
Has anyone experienced any sound issues? I'm experiencing crackling sound mainly in the game menus.

In game it seems to be better, but i'm still not convinced its 100% it seems to go quiet on occasion? If I switch on the stereo enhancement then turn it off again, it seems to reset the sound, which is very nice but then some issues eventually creep back in

I'm using a logitech g930 wireless 7.1 headset that uses a USB soundcard. It works perfectly fine with all other games and even the bf3 beta

I haven't had crackling but i have had a lot of stuttering sound, even on the menu when the game first loads up. It's not as bad now since i messed with the graphics settings but it's still there, though that could just be coincidence.

Tried the Mortar kinda sucks. It needs like quoted above to land on their hand, and you are very exposed to your dog tags being taken..lolz.


But, I'm loving BF3. 13 hours of MP now.

My pc is running bf3 well on a mix of high& ultra. But load times for bf3 can be slow, I guess that's just because of the size of the maps.

Anyone manage to get the mortar? I was getting killed constantly by mortar last night. Need another 5k point to get mine.

Yeah had mine for a little while, tried it on the big maps but it's a little harder to do well. It's amazing on the smaller maps or if your targets are not moving all over the place like headless chickens ;).

I unlocked it last night, its not bad but a direct hit is required unless they are already hit, very little splash it would seem,

So true, it doesn't suck you just need to be 100% accurate with it. It should have a bit more splash damage though to be honest. It needing to land directly on top is a bit lame, everyone knows mortars have splash damage.

But it's a good tool if you don't want your mines or c4 or it's an enclosed map.
