My mate ordered his PRE ORDER from sendit....and I just spoke to him and he is hoping to get it today. Pre order failed big time.

PS. Don't think they count as a competitor, but plz remove if this is the case.

I preordered from HMV because I thought Amazon wouldn't get it to me in time. Went to the store on friday and they said they had PS3/Xbox versions but not PC. I could only get the standard edition in Game. :o
 
The keybinding system is so broken that I've now got it into a state where the helicopter roll function won't bind at all any more. No matter what axis or button I press.

That makes flying helicopters with a joystick impossible. :(

Anyone know how to manually edit the controls config files in this game?

same here, though I didnt think it was the sound card, do you think it is?
Click to expand...

yes, there are a few other guys in my clan with the same sound card that I have [Xonar D2X] with the exact same issue.

my trouble shooting involved:

1 - take cpu from 5.2GHz to 3.3GHz = still locks up randomly
2 - take graphics from 920MHz to 700MHz = still locks up randomly
3 - remove sound card = many hours of gaming

I would say 'happy gaming' however, a statement like that would be totally absurd. gaming with Realtek sound enabled is not dissimilar to having my ears lacerated with barbed wire. [admittedly, it would be more like barbed wire coated with cotton wool because it is that muffled]

needless to say, I will be contacting Asus about this issue today.

I have the on-board realtek sound card and apparently it has an issue with PB and vice versa, hence why my game keeps locking up. If I play on a non PB server the game is totally stable.

This issue goes back to Bad company 2 but still it has not been fixed!

rjkoneill check your Pm box please;)
 
Had an amazing game again last night on the OCUK Conquest server.

Saw some regular forum users on there which was nice.

Looking forward to shooting some again this eve!

Battlefield 3 Crashing / Freezing

Hello all,

the problem that I have is battlefield 3 freezes or crashes after a round or two.

What I have done to try and resolve the issue are as follows:

  • Re-install of Origin and BF3.
  • Manual install of Punkbuster files + Automatic Install.
  • Attempt a fix of installation via Origin.
  • Disable Nvidia audio.
  • Disable all specific Nvidia settings to use the least amount of graphic card capabilities.
  • Disable SLI mode.
  • Install the original graphic drivers, new beta and also the updated Nvidia drivers for my GTX 570 all of which we're from a clean install

This is my computer spec:

Hi, I managed to fix this by creating a profile. Basically, the profile makes the x and y axis the same as the mouses x and y axis; then in game, just make sure you have no joystick bindings for these axis and it should just work.

This will help with the intermediate deadzone, where you have to push the stick all the way to get a reaction.

Sorry for late reply, thanks but it didn't work, copy/pasted, loaded profile, went into the game, removed the joystick bindings, exited game. Started up a MP game but it wouldn't move the control surfaces.
 
Been using the IRNV scope for my Engineer weapons a lot since I unlocked them, anyone else using them? they seem quite overpowered. I mean you could be lying prone in a bush, full camo gear on, in the dark and only have 1/4 of your body poking out and I'd still be able to see you from half a mile away.

I can see it getting changed at some point soon.

Same impact if you reduce shadows and growth, you can see everyone really well in the Forest area of Caspian Border.
 
I tried playing on the TFU HC server last night and it wasn't that bad. However when the opposite team started filling up with TFU members and then when they proceeded to stack teams every game it got a little boring being ass whipped every single game. I gave up and went to a HC 16 man server. Oh and on the TFU HC 32 man there was hit reg problems too! Don't say its bad aiming because I can't exactly miss with someone right next to me...
 
I use the unified 3rd party drivers with an ASUS DG and am having no problems if it helps.

I keep encountering these magical tanks whilst I'm driving in a tank myself, where with one front on hit they take my tank from 100% to about 40%. I assume it's some kind of bug? as if it thinks it has actually hit the back instead of the front or something...
Click to expand...

AFAIK A hit to the underside from an AT mine/C4 or shot (as in, you're on a hill and the tank further down the hill aims up and hits your front underside) will do this damage. 2 C4/AT's kills anything though and does about 60% a hit.
 
Anyone know if the following is a server or system issue?

I'll be sprinting along, run around a corner, see someone, start shooting then suddenly i'm standing about 15-20 feet behind where I was a few seconds earlier, only happens on certain servers though which is why I think it may be a server issue.
