Gotta love how when you do report someone for cheating. EA get back to you and describe it as "Bad content in profile". They make it sound as if the person has swore on their profile page, or used a naughty pic for their avatar.:o

Aye its daft isnt it. The annoying thing is MW3 has a built in report violation feature and thats crap, yet this is a really good game but suffers vastly more from cheating scum.
 
Sigh game crashed again! Always on metro as a sniper :S The game whines about directx and my graphics card driver crashes. I've changed from betas back to the whql and its still the same -.-

It was fine 3 days ago!
 
Played from about 8pm till 10pm and from 8 till about 20mins ago it was perfect, every shot counted and then it went down hill. I noticed on metro I was getting killed by one shot and it was taking a lot of my rounds to bring someone down at close range!.

Left the game and came back on the next map, It was even worse I'd walk up to someone with back facing me, Go for the tags and it would just slice. Again I tried, Slice. Right **** it, I went for the pistol bang bang in the back of the head. He turns and kills me, health 100% :mad:. Suddenly going from top end of the table down to the lower end of 11/11. Cleeeeco noticed this aswell as did someone else, yet others said it was perfect no problems. So why does it affect some users and not others?, yet on a different day they might have problems and you don't.

My ping was great I can understand if i was a rubbish player but i'm average to good, no pro by any means

Same here. Now im no great player by any stretch. But since the dlc release my scores/k/d have taken a nosedive. In a 1 on 1 situation, 9 times out of 10 i get killed, yet ive ssen and shot the person first. It's taking a full clip to put someone down on the rare occassion when i do kill someone.
 
So i took some forum members advice and started to record in FRAPS in Full size so 1920x1080 (45fps) I rendered this gameplay at the same 1920x1080 but at 30fps does that make a differance?

Can you notice much differance to this Which is recorded half size and then rendered at 1280x720 30fps

I'm trying to work out whats a good trade off
As that first video is around 4 minutes and the file upload was 545mb

The second that was recorded at halfsize once full rendered was around 450mb and is around 9 minutes.

the Raw Files of the Fullsize HD clips were also crazy big around 40gb per 5 minute game.

Wish i bought two 2x1tb Hardrives now before the prices went crazy!
 
Not much difference no, the first one looks a bit better. Is that you talking? No offence, you sound quite a lot like that guy who does the COD videos, or maybe the further North UK, version of him.
*E. This guy.

For Crossfire users:

1. Download and install the 12.1a preview drivers
2. Use a "user.cfg" file within your BF3 main folder (the one with the bf3.exe) and type the following in

renderdevice.forcerenderaheadlimit 1

3. Use MSI AB to limit to 55 or 62

and enjoy smoother gameplay!

You can use MSI to cap FPS?

Also, with you don't wanna use MSI Afterburner, you can limit your FPS using the command "gametime.maxvariablefps <int>"

Limit it to 59, for 60Hz monitors or 119 for 120Hz.

Also, what would be the best AMD driver and CAP for CrossfireX with this game?
 
BF3 In game Frame rate causes issues such as stuttering, Msi Afterburner frame rate limiter does not. Google the above ^ ;)

I don't use either, hate any tearing full stop
