Battlefield 3 thread - Server details in opening post -

if punkbuster is kicking you all the time.
try exiting fraps and msi afterburners on screen display if you are using them.

as fraps used to think they were chears because of how they hook into the game/tamper with the memory footprint

I have received my cancelled order from GAME today! Is there going to much any interest on the MM do you think? Otherwise I'll get it RMA'd.

someone will buy it especially if it comes with the pre order stuff

Hmm, I am confused.

All you guys are saying that yours has legitimately activated today - however when I attempted to start my copy it told me that I have to wait till tomorrow!

Sadface.

Amos91 · 27 Oct 2011 at 18:44

I activated fine at about 2.30pm (without VPN) and have been playing it non stop since. So some of the issues you guys are having are quite weird :\

It's pretty good so far though, apart from the Tehran map which just makes the server lag...

I'd send it back under the Distance Selling Act. I reckon you'd need to knock more off the price for it to shift than you'd lose on the postage costs.

arknor makes a good point about the DLC actually.

I get about 40-80fps in single player with all on Ultra apart from Motion blur, MSAA and HBAO/SSAO at 1920x1080.

smashing my monitor only supports 1680 so should be able to max it and still get about 40 FPS

Goon, can you add this to front page please? Any and all welcome.

Cheers bud

Hmm, well I guess I can stick it up and see what happens.

Have you tried the vpn/korea settings that Raven posted?

PapaLazaru said:
Why?

I have indeed tried the settings. At first i thought it was something to do with installing off disc so clicked redeem product code in origin and it just says that activation is unavailable. This is before I even type in the key so its a problem not related to BF3. I suspect that so many people activating it in Europe has killed the server.

You might want to add ocuk to name as well since that's what probably most people will be searching

I think these settings seem to have more stress effect on your card than other settings.

MSAA and HBAO love eating vram

Origin now working again, and it's making me download BF3 all over again even though I only uninstalled origin and not the game -_-

utter utter fail dice

Good point, doesn't cost you anything

I can't see the retail price dropping any time soon either.

Billy 2 Sips · 27 Oct 2011 at 18:51

Can you use your mic to speak to team/squad members in game?

Can't see how to do it.

Tried searching but couldn't find anything.

EL_JOCK · 27 Oct 2011 at 18:51

need at least one more to get going on the new overclockers server

_Jimlad_ · 27 Oct 2011 at 18:53

i would just like to say i'm now quite enjoying the game, after thinking it was a bit crud at first, i prefer playing 24 man servers, gives me time to get to grips with the maps. I still hate orgin

anyone wanna add me feel free

Anyone else having problem playing into the game. Origin crashes everytime I click on BF3 icon

SuperTronNarwhal · 27 Oct 2011 at 18:55

How do i get this?

CliffyG · 27 Oct 2011 at 18:55

Downloaded origin and installed it, it's soooo slow. My download now button is greyed out for BF3 :s.
