So I can't play due to a random lock up every 10-20 mins, the game itself locks up, be it on menus or in game, the sound loops constantly and all I can do is CTRL-ALT-DEL, to end the program but the sound continues to loop after this still, which mean I have to reboot to fix this.

Only re-installed windows last week , using latest Nvidia drivers on my 570, which hasn't been overclocked.

Anyone with any similar issue that can help!
 
So what's the deal with aircraft?
Sometimes, people just out turn me as if they've pulled on the handbrake and done a 180, I'm a veteran sim pilot and pretty much any game I rock on aircraft, even in BF3 I still do just some people are able to turn way too much than I can.

No matter if I do it at near stall speed, idle thrust, between those two, or full speed (full speed. I can come up behind some one and they'll just vanish. Even if I use rudders. I'll follow their exact line of flight :( I've even had a head on attack, as soon as they pass me they're on my six a few moments later.

I use the mouse, at full sensitivity, so I plugged in my X52 joystick so I'm always at my max turn rate, still can't. Does xbox controller have some sort of advantage?
 
I honestly don't know why DICE always include snipers in their games. Snipers in Battlefield always ruin the game play by massive amount. They always camp in places and on top of that they are so overpowered its a joke. 1 shot kill in 99% of the cases.

Half of the team are snipers and camping, then there are 10 guys trying to arm the objective while half of them die trying to get there because when they are shot in the foot they die instantly. Total joke really. I find it funny that snipers are a 1 shot kill while me using a 50cal on the tank takes more than 1 shot to kill people.

Snipers should not even be included in this type of games. Dice have really screwed this up, no way this game deserves an AAA rating and I am glad it didn't. Pretty graphics don't make a good game sadly.

Also does anyone else get a meh feeling when playing on the 9 maps. The maps really are some of the worst in battlefield series.

Ar you using an Asus sound card aswell? If so goto the settings pane and turn off the "DX" setting, might help

You have to balance the air brake with the throttle and afterburner, done right you can be on a jets tail in no time. Try dropping speed to 220 then apply thrust and some afterburner, keep doing this every few seconds for tight turning in the jets.

Never a problem in BF2 and 2142, it is in BC2 and BF3 though.

Jee whizz, how many pages has this thread got now.. :s

Judging from the majority of posts most people are struggling to run this game problem free. I for one am very lucky, I've had 0 problems and the game runs as smooth as a babies bum, 1920x1200 everything maxxed, except AA which is 4x.

I'm loving this game, havn't played the campaign yet, multiplayer is too awesome :D.

I love long range sniping, got a 582m headshot record atm.

You say snipers ruin the game, bad snipers do, I on the other hand always covering objectives with surgical precision.

Afterburner, slam on brakes, 180.
 
I dont mind snipers, its part and parcel of war and fits in with the scenario.

However maybe a cap of say 5/6 per team if its 32v32 or somethign would be better.. as then you have more men who need to be active on the ground.
