We are streaming with PBBans so say Player A is banned on a completely different server owned by another community/clan, it automatically bans them on the Bronken server so they can't connect to ours.

Every time a ban is listed with PBBans it get show in the chat box.

Ah, interesting thanks.

No, don't nerf the IRNV.

In all honesty the scope is only good short-mid range, as soon as you get any further the optics don't work and enemies don't light up anymore, so it's useless mid-long range.

That.

There are many things that need a nerf, the IRNV only needs a slight tweak. Although, if it does get nerfed the scope glare on 6x and above scopes had better be bloody toned down, especially when you can see people on the boat from the stormdrain on canals without even looking.

I saw a news post on Battlelog just before it went down with the times in PDT but can't remember them and you can't even see the news post now. :/
 
Brilliant, finally got the game and battlelog is down. How do I play single player if I can't even launch the game ? is there a SP .exe somewhere that skips battlelog ?.
 
I'm currently playing on my own :( I'm looking for a squad/clan with mic's as I sometimes feel I'm the only one working towards the objective! I'm learning the game and play assault, support and engineer. Just lost my job too so I'm bashing it constantly!

needs fixing simple, its way to easy to get kills with it

The scope makes hardly any difference in some cases, especially if the server has 3D spotting turned on. I usually use the acog and I get just as many kills up close, and even more at longer range with that. The IRNV is good in rare cases where you're blinded by the massive amount of light, so it's situational, and especially considering the fact after x distance it doesn't even work. The only tweak it needs is either making enemies not glow so bright, or reducing the distance of the effective range a little, making it even more cq based.
 
I can only assume that those not wanting IRNV nerfed are using it heavily them self?

Why not just play the game a bit slower, learn to aim and play properly?
 
anyone noticed the time on the forum is wrong for our posts?

:anyway IR should be taken out of the game full stop kills the Fun.
:Sniper rifles should be redone. from starting point

Single bolt to start till top lvl where you should unlock semi's I'm annoyed off with getting killed by someone spamming Sniper bullets like assault.
 
Lads add me on BL or Origin: Sadform.

Get some good squads going over the weekend and tonight and maybe some co-op action?
 
random crashing with a xonar update

sent a load of stuff to asus this morning

seeing as my graphics cards, sound card and motherboard are asus, its appropriate.

i just dont understand how the beta was totally fine and the retail game has this crashing issue.

what rjk sent to Asus said:
disabling GX mode has no change to the problem
AndrewMoore mentioned this morning that when he launches the game in windowed mode, GX mode enables automatically even if it is disabled. [I don’t know if this is the case as I have not personally tested it]

Removing the card still fixes the issue.

FYI if it makes any difference, I have my GTX 480s in the 8X, 8X configuration slots not using the nf200 chip
The xonar d2x is on the pcie e lane at the bottom of the board.

I have done the following now which has stemmed from suggestions on our forum that the other affected users are trying.

1. Uninstalled service pack 1
2. Uninstalled afterburner.
3. Disabled vsync in the game

With the sound card installed:
I have ran my system on crisis benchmark for 3 hours solid and also furmark gpu test for a further 3 hours to rule out the gpus being the cause of the crash.
Both of these tests were done with prime 95 running on the cpu to ensure the pc was stable hardware wise. There is no crashing in any other application other than bf3
I have ran memtest86 as well to rule out memory.

The only step I haven’t taken is reinstalling windows

I wonder if this only affects specific Xonar cards? I am using the D2X with GX enabled and haven't had any crashes.

its strange, there are mixed reports but removing the sound card works for anyone reporting it so that's what I am doing.

Im using a D2X and have had this issue both in the past and with BF3

fortunately I already knew about the GX setting fix.

When it crashes you just get a constant sound loop that cannot be stopped without a reboot.

Used to get it a lot playing Rift and Aion, totally forgot about it till I did a fresh install before BF3 and it set to on by default then had a crash whilst playing.

that's odd, sort of rules out what Andrew Moore was talking about with the gx mode enabling in the background when a game launches
