Battlefield 3 (Official Thread) Pt. 2

Glad I'm already finished with the whole co-op farming^^

 

No chat in Co-op is weird. I mean, really weird.

But wow, that patch is still far away.

They should have had at least two major updates by now.

 

nice too see we're getting a patch before the consoles for a change, not that it really matters but nice just the same.

 

IMHO it just goes on to show that quality assurance standards are higher on consoles.

Which should be self-obvious, since there are no any for PC.

 

i really hope you didnt just realize this. :nerd:

 

Yeah, they really did. I think it also included 2-3 new maps and the booster packs for free. They did the same for 2142...

Also I find you very depressing...

 

If they support BF3 as long as they did BF2 I would be shocked. It would be awesome if they released updated SF maps. (even though that will never happen)

 

Finally. My copy from UK has arrived

 

Anyone with BF3.exe stoped working ?

Had that problem - wasn't happening very often but i manged to fix that.

Seems what caused the crash was lack of pagefile - i had mine disabled because i have 8 GB of ram, but my memory usage during multilayer gaming was 5.5GB according to windows manager, its still below 8GB but since i enabled pagefile again game didn't crashed even once.

Hope it help those with no pagefile

 

Had my first taste of MP. It literally massacred my system . Even though the game auto-detected my system capable of "High" settings, but even that was simply too much for it. That, or AMD drivers are really fooked up at this moment

 

They must be fooked up.

Your processor is better than mine, your RAM as well, and graphics card is about the same according to benchmarks.

So yes, I'd say it's a driver issue. I run Medium - high 1680 x 1050 with post-process AA and get like 40-60FPS.

 

8gb ram?

 

Thats weird because i have similar system , and i almost never drop below 50FPS.

1920x1080 all high-, MSAA OFF FXAA - low.

Using 11.11 Drivers, card is 950/1150.

 

I hate to admit it, but it seems that AMD drivers have been really really lame as of lately. THey screwed up and it all piled up one thing after another. First rage, the Deus Ex DLC, then BF3, and now Skyrim. I dunno wtf are they upto, they must be smoking weed to put them to sleep instead of making better drivers. I honestly haven't used a decent driver since 11.4

 

Thing is, NVIDIA is ****ty with drivers as well.

However, for every 1 ****ty driver ATI puts out, 3 NVIDIA puts out 3 ****ty drivers, but at least you got 3 chances that one might be acceptable.

 

So both parties are guilty of screwing over their customers then

 

Every company is, in some way or form, even if you don't realize it; chances are they screwed you over.

 

Couldd you explain your problems ?

Because i don't have single issue with BF right now ? and my fps is 50+.

I dont really uderstand the complains on drivers ...

 

I've never had a bad Nvidia driver. And as far as I know there's only been two released in modern times that were consistently bad for many people. Conversely, I can count on one hand the number of good ATI drivers I came across when I still had an AMD card.
