All running fine, passes the self test but still can't join a game.

From reading the Battlelog forums it's still a widespread issue.

I don't blame DICE/EvenBalance for not fixing it in a flash, maybe it is difficult to pinpoint the cause, but not releasing a statement telling us the score is very unprofessional.

edit - just got on another server, had two matches before it crashed with a DirectX error and said I was out of video memory I love being an alpha tester.

I had this problem, it started working this morning. I could have been:

1. Fixed at their end
2. I did manually update PB and there was an update
3. I did disable UPNP on my router (found on the EA forums as a possible fix)

Lol setter how do u die so much!

Lol, quite a collection of deaths ive gathered. Tbh, im not a brilliant player, im not really fussed about stats. Play for the fun of it. The hit reg has been bad for me lately, quite often im having to use a full clip to put someone down, even at close range. Quite often only for them to one shot kill me. Happens even when shooting someone who has their back turned to me. Also as im always chasing objectives, be it flags in conquest or m-coms in rush, im always in the thick of things. (no camping for me lol).

Same!!! I play it because I have fun. Sometimes getting cained can be great fun. Really enjoyed getting Pwned by Yannick_1500 last night. I got C4'd soooo many times.....Love it

use a better gun

i find that some of the sub-machine guns are better then some of the bigger ones

setter · 26 Jan 2012 at 18:17

Tend to play assault the most, most used weapons are the m16, m416. Both pretty decent all round weapons, despite their low calibre.

What is the point of all these weapon unlocks? I miss bf2 weapons where they all did differnt amounts of damage and each gun was very different from each other. Now even the g3a3 has been nerfed into line with 4 bullets minimum for the close range kill, excluding head shots of course. Though I don't even understand how head shots work in this game. I got 2 hit markers on a guy earlier today and I could only see his head yet he shot me from miles away with a famas in the head.

I have to admit that I'm inspired after reading this. I have over 100hours in the flanker/f-18 but not even one hour in the F35. Time for a change me thinks.

I find wake island hard to fly on in general as there seems to be more AA to worry about. Caspian on the other hand is pretty easy, even in 64player mode.

Haha, well I'm glad someone listened and didn't just decide to cripple them selves by rebinding hard break. Why bother even flying a f-35 if you are going to do that tbh?

I was playing on a 32 man Caspian border server earlier and I managed just under about half the game time without a single death before they all had enough and the map was filled with stingers and alike. Shooting down enemy jets has become boring now. People don't learn that if they try just simply tilt to the side and turn they are making them selves a massive target that won't last 5 seconds against someone who can actually aim their gun. If you're in a dog fight go down and under, not around.

Amusingly I only just started playing the game, so I have about 8 hours in jets on bf3 and that includes the flying around on an empty map learning how to use an xbox controller to fly it as I don't play on consoles really and my joystick is broken. Unlocked all the gear for jets within 4 hours of flight time, though I don't know if perhaps that is just normal.

What an utter WASTE of my **** time tonight, Reg issues like you wouldn't believe!. Why the hell is one night Perfect every hit counts but tonight it's so poor i'm shooting rubber bullets!.

Shooers1gn runs in front of me, I shoot him from the side every shoot hits between his neck and his face, he turns BANG i'm dead. 75% health when he killed me! :rolleyes:

. Again Shooers1gn, jumps towards me I'm at point blank I fire my rounds into his face he kills me one hit while staying on 85% health. Cleeeeco standing beside a wall, I'm in a jeep I shoot my jeep gun directly at him, I get the hit markers * KILL ASSIST *. I've just been revived, I stay on the ground shooers1gn is in front of me, My pistol at his face BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG Hit marker every time.

BANG i'm dead, One hit.

= Rage Quit

I'm sick and tired of some members running around with out issues yet there are a vast majority that get one day of perfection yet another where it's rubber bullets. This client side reg is utter trash :mad:

tbh some servers seem to be the problem .

i found one today and every time i go on it like everything i seem to fire registers.

so if it is that bad for you i would just stick to servers that seem like above.

tbh if you get raged up though even if its good you still gunna do bad.

That's the thing last night UKCS and OCUK multiplay was spot on, you'd find me near the top end of a scoreboard with a good k/d. But this was just terrible, it's making it come across that i'm playing badly which I was not. The only thing that i've done since last night is updated punkbuster

Shoors1gn does tend to be pretty decent player though and k,ills many peple. Maybe he just killed you before you killed him, but you just didnt see it like that on your screen and think your bullets arent reg'ing.

Which was happened on another server, I was already down on the ground for atleast one second but the guy who killed me said I was still standing up.

How is that playable? :confused:

, there's a pretty huge delay from what i'm seeing on my screen and what is actually happening. Though I can go play later on the same server and it'l be fine!

I find i have to fiddle with that slider everytime i join a server to get the reg even half decent.

This does seem to happen a lot, on metro last night, two doors about 20 feet apart, guy at the door on my right, i shot him. I died, on killcam, he was standing at the door on my left. Was definitely the same guy as i could read his name above his head. Same go's for dying round corners/in cover. An awful system all the same.
