Hi I have the news you require....

So..........All server of 32 man and OVER will crash every 2-6ish rounds due to EA's blaze server. The Blaze server is what connects us users to the servers.

EA has gone full Simcity on BF3. I recommend that if you want trouble free games stick to UNDER 32 man for the moment.

I run a 48 man server but have had to put it to 24 man for the moment....I am 11th in the queue to get in :'(

I've just played half a dozen 64 man rounds without issue and stayed connected?

Played a fun game last night after about 6months of not playing it, but even on my new 22mbit it still suffers the same ***

) Killed around corners
) RPGs that explode in a room full of enemy units and do nothing
) RPGs that seem to dissapear, if you've died before it was fired
) Fire on enemy units getting a lot hit markers only for them to turn to you and you're dead in one hit

1) is un avoidable due to the client side hit registration. **** works both ways though, as you can kill people round corners too. Problem is that they aren't round the corner on your screen yet, just like you aren't on theirs. You hit what you personally can see, not what the server sees. Which is the fairest system overall

2) this a balance issue. Its done deliberately to stop people using the RPG like the rocket launcher in Quake. This is not quake.

3) Thats because you fired your RPG on your client. However you were dead on the server before you fired it. The only reason you got time to fire your RPG was due to the delay between you and the server. Thus it vanishes because it was actually never fired.

4)This happens when the other player's connection isn't that great. On their screen they turned around and started shooting you long before it showed on the server. Because its client side hit reg they turn round, start shooting, get the kill, just as he turns round on your screen. Server catches up with itself and *bang* you're dead in what appears to be one bullet.

Having the best connection in the world won't prevent the delay between you and the server, and won't stop others from having **** connections.
 
Tried some OCUk servers, to see if teams are any better. Same unbalanced **** as on any other server. Game is broken. Dice must have done something to this game, 6+ months ago, this game was never so out of wack.

Guess BF4 is coming out, they needed to make BF3 unplayable, so people move on to newer games.
 
Are you playing on your own or with a squad ?

Because battlefield is a team game. You can't expect to win if the enemy team is an organized team and your not.

Battlefield has always been hard on those that aren't very good at the game. Thats why they're allowed to steal your tanks, choppers, jets etc...

Yes of course I play in a squad... Doesn't help much being in a squad of lvl 20 guys fighting 64 lvl 100 players now does it....

Game should balance at least once during the game, so insure balanced teams. This game I don't think has an auto balance feature, I seen it being used one or twice.

Teams don't get balanced at the start, nor during gameplay. Every game, up to half the people playing on a server leaves, meaning even a balanced game goes unbalanced after 1 round.

I also love, dice programming skills, I get kicked so often its joke and the error I get is "Something went wrong".

Like I said many times a joke. This is becoming worse than cod and thats saying something.
 
Hi all,

Me and a mate play this most weekends but would like to team up with 2 others. The idea being a full squad (duh on me lol)

My BF3 name is BrackishCBR and we use the same Mumble server as the League of Legends guys. Not tried any of the OcUK servers yet. We like conquest and conquest large on 32 or 48 man servers. (I am not very good and Linkorz (me mate) is better than me! :D

I'm using 314.22 with a GTX 570 without problems, so maybe it's just a bad install. Tried a clean reinstall using the option when installing drivers? Next step would be to clean up Nvidia drivers using DriverSweeper.
 
Can this be added to the op please? :)

BF3 server now running Metro 24/7 Hardcore Conquest Large.

I think someone has already pointed this out to you but how is Dice/EA responsible for the teams? A team balnce at the end of the round if its 200+ tickets out might help BUT it would have to leave squads intact.

A good team will find the players hang around and play more (people like winnning) and the bad team will continuously see a turn over of players increasing the chance that you join the poor team.

This isn't a single player game. Get on a regular server, get on their TS or whatever they use, and enjoy.

30% rage quits is impressive :D
