Battlefield 3 thread - Server details in opening post -

Dissapointing that its barely playable due to servers being in tard mode, wonder what the excuse is this time, im sure the "back end" will come into it somewhere along the line.

Is it just me or does any one else prefer 32 man games as opposed to 64? Also is it just me whos BF3 keeps launching in the taskbar and you have to click it to go full screen? AND... still no ping showing for servers no matter what I do :/

Ping meters not in the game yet. Theres an option when you're joining a game in the little box that pops up saying "go to game when ready", check that and it should launch full screen.

Is there any way to clear key mappings? If I try to assign a key to something, and it's already in use, it lets me assign the new one, but also keeps the old one assigned.

I guess some people are expecting too much. If you go back to the BC2 release this is 100s of times better. It was falling over completely for weeks after release and if you only had some lag you were lucky.

I'm sure dice are working on it. For one they probably not expecting this traffic so quickly but didn't forsee the vpn workaround. Give them a few days this release is massive

Its far from unplayable. Patches will come as will drivers from ATI and Nvidia, its not all dices fault. It will just take time to come together.

It's the activation that needs the proxy, not the downloading of the game

Just played for 4 hours, multiple servers, no lag whatsoever, played with 2 mates. Not sure why you are all experiencing lag. You are joining UK servers right?

Marine Iguana · 26 Oct 2011 at 22:16

Yup UK servers got server lag and graphics lag/stutter.

Heres a screenshot from me on Caspian, Ultra 4x AA, afterburner in top left.

This worries me, when us hardcopy/no VPN users finally get online is it going to be a complete lag fest, I remember BC2 was??

Almost punched my screen earlier. My whole squad got slaughtered in front of me and I was the only one left alive.. and as the assault class is meant to do, I revived them all. I walk around the corner about 2 ft away from my team and I get boomheadshot by a sniper. My whole squad were assault and not one of them revived me.. just carried away mindlessly shooting at people.

I absolutely love this game and wish I could enjoy it, but I'm finding myself getting angrier by the hour I play and it's got nothing to do with the game! Just the retards who play it!

Plus everyone else will be running around with super weapons, vehicle unlocks and body armour :rolleyes:

Anyone else getting 'kicked' from servers with the message 'You have been kicked from the game by an administrator' ?

Only just joined the server, Updated PB too, Can't think of any reason why ...

Anyone ?

I'd assumed the little scale icon with the signal bars and number beside it was the server ping, I guess it is something else then? Or is this only in Battlelog and you're on about ingame?

I'm currently waiting for the wife to get tired and go to bed, I want some gaming!

like most games online on release day, everyone should be patient but yea shouldnt be that way, they should be prepared but no one ever is so give it the weekend and it should be perfect

Downloading is fine but I think to activate the game we still have to use the proxy ip trick ? As I am not sure if origin change the dates for when uk can play it ?

Nexus18 · 26 Oct 2011 at 22:23

Anyone getting EA backend error reported for every server now?

kingy666 · 26 Oct 2011 at 22:24

Can you get rid of the Battlefield 3 Beta icon from the origin 'my games' list. i have uninstalled it but it just won't go?

Yaayuh! · 26 Oct 2011 at 22:24

All running perfect for me, no crashing, no stuttering, all good

Want to play Karkand though please, can't see any servers under Return to Karkand
