Is there any practicla benefit for those things, or is it just bling?

Hmmmm -a question for the more knowledgeable....

I'm going to have to do a format/reinstall soon, irritatingly so soon after having origin download the 5gb patch..... is there:

A) anywhere that I can download the patch as a standalone - so I can (ahem) utilise my work's far speedier connection.

Or

B) Is it stored as a file somewhere on my system already, and further to that - in a usable form?

Cheers,

Rich

I do not think so.

You could send an email to EA/Origin and ask them I suppose.... steam are usually good at this, test out Origins customer support.
 
Just found out about FXAA Injector after reading this thread last night, tried it out this morning and it made everything worse.

Anyone cares to upload and share their settings please? ta

You could just copy the BF3 folder to an external HDD or something and then place it back in when you've reinstalled windows. Alternatively the bulk of the game is in the Data folder the files cas_01-10 so backing those up and dropping them in would probably save you a chunk of time, there's also a folder called Update with patch and Xpac1+2 which take up the rest of the space. I've moved the game around a number of times no problem, same with steam games it will just replace any files it needs and install it.

I can confirm this works.

Just backup your Origin Games folder, then when you have reinstalled windows, reinstall origin, load it up, start BF3 installing/downloading, close origin, then go and replace the origin games or battlefield 3 folder with the one you backed up.

cheers, found it and copied, a lot lot betterer, but I feel as if the game is a bit laggy now, do I need to turn off MSAA?

I will agree that it makes everything sharper, only thing I have noticed is it seems to take a hit in in performance.

Definitely does not seem as smooth now.

I experience this as well, game sometimes gets a bit laggy, and my fps is a biut reduced. Also the riva tuner's fps counter does not show anymore so I'm using the console command.
 
yes turn off msaa and you should get a boost fps wise

keeping msaa on while using the injector is defeating the whole object of using it . i actually think westies is worse :p use the default or adjust yourself

tried it on my other machine with GTX 460 and I can say with the injector, fps was higher, colours were more vivid too. With my machine running gtx 670, it's worse.
 
So weird I tried ravens link out and it made the game look nice and font was a lot sharper so i went back to my old config and everything looks weird lol so gone back to ravens one again!
