Hi All sorry if this is in the wrong place. Just started MP this morning and have played about a dozen games, but in all the games after about three minutes the screen freezes and I have to press the tower button to get back to desktop. Am I missing something I should be doing in this. I play BFBC fine and the Beta played OK. any ideas will be appreciated.

Are you using a VPN to play, or are you not in the UK?
 
What happens when your system freezes?
Any error message?
What is battlelog doing?

The screen just freezes after about five minutes, there's no error message and windows is still running in the background when I press the tower button to come back to windows its still there, so I assume battlelog is still running. cant understand it.

Hmm- I'll ask about.
Looks like it's been fully released early :p
 
Have you tried it in a clean boot environment?
If single player works fine, it could be a connection issue with battlelog.
Are you using wireless, what are your pings/tracerts like when the game crashes?

no one I've asked seems to be having the same issues atm I'll keep asking tho.

Thanks for your help El sorry if this is something I should know but what is a clean boot environment.My pings I believe are low. Would punkbuster in any way affect my game.I believe there are monitoring stuff you can have on your screen do you know which keys they are.sorry for all the dumb questions.

It's a basic step the EA support guys will ask you to try if you call them.
Punkbuster shouldn't. I would recommend trying to update it manually if you haven't done so already.
