Please help

I'm getting a lot of input delay. When standing still and moving the mouse, it feels like it's picking up the movement at random intervals. The problem is exasperated when I try moving (WASD) and using the mouse at the same time. Sometimes even the keyboard presents a delay. I have tried a few things, like turning all graphics to low, clearing all joystick keys, changing mouse sensitivity/raw mode.

My FPS is stable at 30-45 (even whilst the delay is going on). CPU and GPU usage looks fine to me (70-100%). Memory use is also fine and not going over my limit. Temps are fine.

No other games present this issue (not even BFBC2).

I had this issue and to fix it all I did was disable raw input and change the sensitivity a tiny bit, also blew on the laser in case it was dirty (which it wasn't due to it being smooth in menus/windows etc)

Is anyone noticing issues with symptoms of bad net coding?

Nope.
Bit of rubber banding but a new server update has resolved that.

My current main annoyance with BF3:

No one works as a team. Let alone a squad.

I am sorry, i am enjoying the game but half of these maps are awful, i don't particularly want to play Metro, Grand Bazaar(64p) and especially Damavand Peak, That Canal level isn't great either. Most maps are better with less than 64 players, but still aren't great

I have not been able to do anything at all today, i have been emptying everything in to people and they have just killed me and have most of their health left. I also keep noticing people spawn, i was looking out onto the highway bit in Grand Bazaar, i turned round and saw someone spawn about 5 ft behind me! What chance do you have there? lucky i turned round!

Is anyone else getting no friend/foe indication half the time? it is really annoying me

I've spawned like that a few times (Turned around and some guy is just staring at me with his gun). It's worse on TDM servers!

Grand Bazaar is a good on low players (if you want lots of points). I dont tend to like 64 player servers at the moment (Will give them a go once I get the hang of things)

I agree with some of these points. Some 64p maps don't seem designed for 64p. Metro conquest is horrendous, as is Damavand peak conquest. I enjoy Caspian, Tehran, Bazaar, Canals is ok!

But I really do think something needs to be done about the friend/foe indication. I know you should just shoot if you aren't 100% if that you are looking at a friendly, but there have been occasions where I haven't, and I've just been shot.

There was one occasion where was about 1m away from two players who were crouched down next to each other. One was a friendly, so I presumed the other one was too. NOPE, he looks up and kills me, then proceeds to kill the friendly. So they didn't even notice either!

You should find a good clan to play with. Try the TFU servers.

Hi can anyone help?

Every time I try to start a game from battlelog the first time it says battlefield 3 is not working before it even loads and I have to click close program. The second time it loads and then after between 3 and 15 minutes, without fail, no matter what server or map or stage of the game, it freezes and I have to ctrl-alt-del to close battlefield. Does this happen to anyone else? It's really putting me off the game and I am enjoying it but getting really frustrated when I keep not being able to finish a game. Also my quit ratio is about 70% even though I haven't quit any games

It will settle down. I have had a few games where there has been squads and the whole team working together as a unit and we decimated the opposition. I think we cleaned up 6 or 7 times in a row.

In general though its too easy to find servers where everybody is playing solo.

I still rage at one man jeep and tank drivers and don;t get me started on people who come and steal your tank while you are repairing it :mad:

I have also been killed by somebody I thought was friendly yet other times it worked in my favour.

I was playing the other night and was stood around deciding where to go next and studying my map when a guy ran past me quickly followed by two others. I thought I will follow them and ran after them. Quickly realised all 3 were the enemy and took the first one down by knife and killed the other two.

How all 3 ran past me and thought I was on their side is beyond me

Happened to me a few times, but eventually it has worked.

Maybe the quit percentage takes into account the crashes too?

I played a game on Firestorm earlier(best map by a mile imo) and i ahd to change my loadout, by the time i had done that everyone had left with all of the vehicles and it took me minutes to get to where the action was. I was in the whole round and only saw 1 person the whole time and ended up with about 400 points and 1 kill. Surely they could do something to let us change loadout at least outside of a server?

HungryHippos · 2 Nov 2011 at 16:29

Whilst Metro is impossible to win as US, you can still get loads of points and I occasionally find it fun just to run around ressurecting people and laying down medkats

Agreed. They should let you change loadout while the countdown timer is running and the map is loading then you would be ready to go.

Well, after 7 days my order from gameplay still hasn't turned up and now I have to wait another 7 days before I can make a claim and then probably get sent a non limited edition with no physical warfare pack or pay for a second copy from greenman that also has no extras, last time I use gameplay :mad:

It's only impossible if your team is intent on not pushing past the choke points. A few well placed smoke grenades and a side that's willing to push wins no matter which side you start from on that map.
