Battlefield 3 thread - Server details in opening post -

Not all of them. I was on that caspian map sat inside the AA gun and I couldnt shoot down the big tree that was right next to me so that I could get a better view.

I think I know the exact one you're talking about because I did the same, and I needed an RPG to take it down.

I think I've designated myself as 'The tank driver'. Always seem to do really well in tanks, especially when you've got a few engis on the team willing to help back you up when needed as well as point out enemy tank positions. Currently ranked #936 in the world for tank kills I find good tank driving can really just obliterate the other team from front and back and help your guys move around much easier, and if you've got a good team they'll appreciate it and watch your back.

Here's my dogtags

There are def some buys that need to be sorted out but other than that i really love this game

I installed the 10.9 cap 4 for ATI, fixed my stuttering. Game runes baby butt smooth now. I also disabled USB legacy in BIOS as I read that can fix it, so it could be that too.

Does it help with AA?

3) Who was the **** that decided you can spawn in a jet after you die! I have had numerous times were the jet was stolen from me!

This works brilliantly, it stops people queueing for aircraft and choppers, means more people actually on the battlefield. A* with merit for the person who thought of this

i agree, plus once ur in one and die, just wait at the spawn screen until it respawns. easy

Yes there's lag and server side issues but give it time peeps. Not even had a client side patch yet and only one minor server one. It's not as broken as BC2 was on release so I'm confident it will become smooth as

There are a lot of people saying they can't even connect but I haven't heard many in chat or on my friends list complain much. Mibbe you all have something in common like AV firewall or ISP. Clearly a problem but I haven't seen it

No such thing as stealing a jet. If you weren't in it it was never yours! Good move IMO

Most maps need another jeep or quad bike though. If you miss out its a long walk

Awesome few games just now on the TFU server Really enjoying this game, much more than i thought i would. And runs smooth on silk on ultra and looks sweet!

Soldier name is Gr33nboi if anyone wants to add me, not got many friends on there yet!

 

[Buckster]

sounds like to me...

1. orgin is a pile of turd
2. we need some new drivers from AMD and Nvidia
3. we need a patch from EA/DC

when it works its ruddy amazing!

mmm I disagree with most of the above to be honest

after updating to latest Nvidia drivers - I've played for 6 hours + over 20 games or so with not one crash

I'm getting good framerates (40fps + maxed out)

and even Origin seems ok to me to be fair

 

[iamdjdz]

I'm not amazing at this by any means but I am frustrated, I play one game where I get 1 kill and 10 deaths and it's fine but the next 2 I play where I have 8 kills to 3 deaths and 6 kills to 1 death and it freezes.. Sucks

 

[rjk]

anyone else having random black screens?

just happens on bf3

sli enabled but CPU and GPU overclocks removed to troubleshoot. just bombs out after a while of playing. pc restarts.

gutting to say the least.

Bought myself a Sapphire 6950 2gb Dual Fan since my Asus 560TI is going back, hope I can unlock it to a 6970 as many others with this same model have, I think its pot luck though!

I keep getting rubber banded right into the ground while trying to jet >.<

There have been two patches, a 470MB update that you had to download as soon as the game was installed and another smaller one, plus Battlelog updates. Then we've had an Alpha and Beta test, DICE have had plenty of opportunities to get the game in a better state than this.

At the minute it's a clunky, laggy, flickering, rubberbanding broken piece of software.

For some. And some deal with it better than others. ATI and Nvidia have to do their bit too

It takes time that's all I'm saying, it must be difficult for a release of this scale

The client side patch was included with the origin download, how else do you think we have a rather broken comm rose?

 

[muggs]

would it be ok to instal cap 4 with 11.10 drivers?

 

[gizmoy2k]

Didn't see any release notes or version changes. Dont really care TBH bar the odd lag my game is fine

Oh my heart bleeds.

The beta was a far better experience than this and there are two reasons for that. The beta was 32 players max and a map with very small outdoor areas.

As it stands at the moment servers and/or the game code are not capable of running 64 players.

 

[peterattheboro]

Loving the infrared scope. Find it's too easy with it though.

Also just had to quit a game because of this....

Took damage and then everything went blackish and lost all the text on the screen?
