always a gamble but with how the threads going on ea main site you think they would have said something if they didnt like it or pb would have by now.

at end of day upto you i personally got fed up of waiting for dice to fix the issue of msaa and i know it could be done better. now trying this its like night and day difference along with a fps boost lol .

you just extract into bf3 folder and away you go.

my avg with all high now is 70 fps and it look better than with 4msaa on

Says it's for direct X 10?

Bf3 is DX11 I take it - it still works?

also you could say get in vehicle and speed off all they have to do is lay mines outdside you base fire you trapped total poor design tbh and a few maps are like this.

Thermal vision helps with that.

You can usually shoot at them and blow them up before you get near them as you drive forwards (with the IFV that is)

JGStonedRaider · 7 Feb 2012 at 13:04

The colours are wack anyway, done a lot of adjusting in the control panel to get it looking good. Digital vibrance really helps.

Stop defending a feeble point! We get it, if a cap point is under attack, we can choose to spawn at the uncap. This does not negate that fact that the spawning in BF3 is poo! Oh look, a flag is under contention, let me spawn there to help out. Oh wait, I've been spawned at the end of the enemy's tank barrel so I'm dead before my screen has even faded in.

3 quick images definitely better lighting wise

Yurka · 7 Feb 2012 at 13:17

Anyway of getting rid of the smoke and litter that moves around? Haven't changed my settings since the start of the game but starting to want to move the graphiocs into HL/Quake plane textures territory soon

Next you'll be asking how to make the walls translucent

Must admit I hate spawning right in the middle of hell, I get the whole uncap thang but surely the point of being able to spawn at the flag is to give yourself a chance to defend it.

Not just spawn die, spawn die.....etc

Well the other team has made the effort to run into that area, perhaps circumnavigating and taking the long route round; just for you to spawn in immediately from death to guard it. You then have a random chance at spawning at any number of spawn points for that point. People just tend to remember the times where they spawned next to where the enemy happened to be looking...

It annoys me when it happens, but you have to make the decision whether to either get in there ASAP and hope you can jump the enemy who think they are capping a clear cap point or, spawn at a nearby point and risk them capturing it in the mean time as you make up the ground.

~>Dg<~ · 7 Feb 2012 at 13:30

think we just want it so we can see to the best of our ability ingame .

if you can tweak it so you get close to default colours but keep the performance this is a must tbh.
