Battlefield 3 thread - Server details in opening post -

I can say,that final version is really optimized very well
but 4 core cpu is much better option than 2 cores for this epic'ness
as for gpu - 560ti and 6950 had no problems running it on full hd 1920*1080 4xAA

Yes, ordered from GMG with 8 minutes to spare, if anyone intends on making a quick change from retail to GMG do it now, because the pre-order bonus runs out in 7 minutes.

 

[Scougar]

and guess what... my hard copy order won't be here till the 28th.. that's really irritating lol.

Is there any official confirmation on the 25th? Origin is still saying 28th.

Most SLI and CFX users are reporting large stutter issues in game even with the latest drivers.

Also, Eyefinity doesn't appear to be working properly in portrait mode.

Anyone else have similar experiences?

Crossfire 5850 - micro stutter at the beginning of the round then after 3-4mins hugely choppy and unplayable. 11.10 preview 3 drivers GPU utilisation ~40%

Single 5850 - smooth as silk (on high settings)

eyefinity is horribly horribly broken for me.. game will not even launch full screen...


i was worried this game would ship in a bad state when playing the beta, but gave it the benefit of the doubt coming from dice...

but hey ho... its broken on my crossfire eyefinity rig :/

should have got it for my console with 1080p projector and 5k surround sound rig..

at least the game will bloody work if you try and load it!

oh the woes of pc gaming... i dont want to wait months for this to run properly with driver updates and version updates like crysis 2 did...

Doesn't really matter if there is an official digital release on the 25th, everyone with the game on origin is already playing it.

My Play.com order says "Processing in warehouse", does that mean it'll be dispatched tomorrow?

 

[Ewaf]

So excited to play this after work tomorrow! Tempted to call in sick... but I wont.

So how does this VPN thing works?

 

[sniffy]

So glad people are enjoying it. I'm about to format the PC, get it downloading and hopefully wake up to some sweet gaming

NOOOOOOOOO! This happened in the Beta but stopped after a few days, maybe DICE did something? I'll have it downloaded in 1.5 hours will try with my 5850s see if it happens to me

 

[ScarySquirrel]

LOL at people who ordered retail now

If you order it off Origin this very moment can you pre-load it without using a VPN?

 

[Strife212]

Make sure to turn off the proxy after you unlock the game or your internet will lag like hell.

Yes, preload is available to all.

The sound engineers at Dice really know what they're doing, even better than BC2.

 

[toString]

I'm still getting the 'crash to desktop/bf3 minimised' bug. With latest drivers (released today 24th) on BF3 today (24th).

Happened 2-3 times in about 2 hours.

 

[Sycho]

How? right click and download is greyed out. Oo

I am not used to Origin have rarely used it so.
