will give this a go tonight.
have contacted Asus regarding the issue, they are now looking into it.
will keep you all updated with any progress
I'd just like to say, being the god of Battlefield an all, that the only problems i've experienced in this game, is trying to run it on Ultra [i've succeeded now], crashing when a game is loading, rubberbanding and joining a team that is losing or about to lose.

The basic theme is around spammable explosion muntions, i.e. RPG/Mortar/M203.
THe few things which I can account for:
I play with flatmate who was kicked using the mortar, though I told him he would probably be kicked. No issues there with him getting kicked, after it is announced that mortars aren't to be used... few maps later a TFU guy is using one.
Threatened with getting banned because I cleared a room of people with RPG and hit one of your guys as he ran in... I'd understand if I was spamming it, however he was just peeved at getting TK'd.
Then on the receiving end of M203's which doesn't bother me as it is all part of the game. But it is more or less in the same bracket as the RPG.
I'm Helier ingame btw.

Frustrating and yet amusing at the same time. I've used it about 2 times for the length of about 25 seconds each. Most of the time I'm on the receiving end and once you get 3-4 of them against you they clear up.
BUT
Now quite a few people have the mortars, they end up targetting each other then having to run away from there mortars after firing and visa versa as not to get hit by the other persons round.
You can clear up on 64 HC rush on Siema River and on another CQB map which escapes me for now.

After all the problems I was having getting this game to load I have worked out what keeps going wrong and am wondering if there is something I can do.
I installed the 10.10 amd preview drivers for my 6870 and then the game works all day perfectly.
I switch off later, next day I switch back on and before I can get battlefield to work again I have to re install the 10.10 drivers.
At the end of the installation there is nothing telling me to reboot. But why wont they save in my system?
Just curious as I am probably doing something wrong and really don't want to have to install them every time.

If there is one thing I hate more about silly little admins is ones banning the use certian weapons on their server.
The items have been put into the game for a reason so they shouldn't be banned at all and if you have a problem with say a mortar, just mortar them back or go kill them and be done with it.

Thanks for that info, its always good for me to hear these things outside of TFU.
We don’t actually have a rule against using mortars, nor would i wont to limited items that DICE have put in the game. However if someone is constantly spamming them and doesn’t seem to use anything else then we’ll warn a few times and then kick. If a member or admin threatened to ban you then like anyone who uses our server you can report them on our forums under “admin abuse section” and I’l take the necessary steps. All we want to do is give people a server which is fair and not make them rage quit
I for one use the RPG’s, I don’t spam it, however if there is a room full of people then too right I’l use the RPG!!

They are pretty bad tbh.
The worst case scenario is.. Conquest, your on the losing side and you've been pushed back to your main base.. Everytime you spawn you try to find a new exit path but that doesn't work.
All the time, your on the receiving end of about 4 people who as using mortars and sending them directly to your base which means your lucky if you don't spawn and instantly die. You can't kill them because you can't escape from your base and you can't return fire because as soon as you set up you die from their incoming rounds.
It's not a bad weapon, it's just not 'balanced' yet. You should be limited to a number of rounds, range is fine if rounds are limited. I don't see any reason why you'd need to mortar a teams main base either.

Spray and pray explosions, you can stay in a really safe area whilst using it, infinite ammo
I don't think vehicles last long enough to make unlimited ammo a worthy addition. Yes if your good you could spend the entire map in the same tank but with both air to ground missiles from jets, engineers, static emplacements and other vehicles, there's too much to take you out.

people then suck to counter them.
or they like to camp, move around then they are a no issue.
server admins that limit weapons basically just suck at the game and should go play mw3.
they need to add that mortars cant be used within their own base, then its fine.
Lot of stuff comes from people who basically cant play.
anything can be countered and tactically done if the team/group work together.
I see kids whine due to them like to lie in a corner and shoot.
I go, what the hell are they doing?
suppress then move up, then the game works just fine.
to many campers.
I'm sure they'll nerf the mortars to 6-8 rounds with a 5 min cool down or something similar etc I think they're brilliant to have in the game as the smoke is really useful to give cover, however like all new games theres are always abilities which are OP in certain instances.
Just go on a random 64 rush HC map and have some fun while they're still OP

I wonder if this only affects specific Xonar cards? I am using the D2X with GX enabled and haven't had any crashes.
Another server up and running,
BasstoMouth | CQ | Normal | OcUK
Could do with a couple of people on it tonight for testing how Tehran Highway performs with a 52 Player limit.
Also has a 1 player start limit, so if Caspian is on you can practice flying heli/jet's
Open to any suggestions for changes to the server, feel free to drop me a message in trust if needs be.

Meh, mortars are okay but really only a threat when someone who can use them well is firing them.
They are rarely 1 shot kills, you need almost direct impacts to do significant damage and cannot kill armor if it is being repaired (too low damage, too slowly) - You need to kill the person running around like a maniac flambéing it with his blowtorch. Easier said than done with the extremely narrow blast radius.
If you sit still for ages you are going to get nuked, and I would say my average kill rate with mortars, even on stationary targets is 1 in 5, if that. Get a few kills in a row sometimes but it's versus heavily damaged enemy targets.
You can avoid them by keeping on the move or completely negate them by using overhead cover. I rock the Mortar when there are snipers camping at range, significant amounts of armor or half a team in a choke point - latter is your own fault really
FAR easier to deal with being mortared than it is RPG and grenade spam.
They are an excellent deterrent versus bush fumbling sniper campers and for that reason alone should stay as is.
