damn, i'm still waiting game key from retailer

 

ohhh snap.

 

Downloaded from Origin last night in no time at all. I'm in the UK and it says it will unlock on 28th at 00:00. Will give the SP a quick blast before getting into MP on Fri evening. Roll on the weekend!

 

How? Heck, even Guru3D itself recommended it over the Corsair in a review.

Although, if the 2500K sees a price drop down to 200$, I might go for Corsairs 90GB SSD.

It's even FASTER than the one you linked, and another solid 30GB, and once you format that, you'd probably have like 74GB of insanely fast SSD performance. 30$ moar, but it temps me so now.

550MB/s Read & 500MB/s write.

 

ok this is just ridiculous. after installing the game from retail disc and waiting for a 500mb update im now getting that the release date is not yet met. gotta wait till oct.25. 03:00 hour now i dont know what time is this. im from PuertoRico this prolly means its at 4am here? had i known this i would not have gone down to the midnight launch. and i would have gotten a good night sleep ffs!

EDIT 3:00 am YEY im in.

 

As joaoo told me (had the same issue as you), turn off mouse raw input @ settings. This fixed the stuttering for me completely. I find it weird that this was set on by default as it seems to only cause problems. Anyone know what mouse raw input does and why does it cause problems?

 

performance review on my setup

The framerates for me running at 1920x1080 with everything maxed byt fxaa set at medium as it blurs too much on high are pretty awesome.

The single player never goes below 60fps at any time and Im half way through it.

The MP was even more surprising.
It runs around 10-15% faster than the beta for me on caspian border and again I have never seen under 60fps apart from one really laggy server that was full at lots of smoke and explosions, at this point my frmaerate dropped to 55fps, think I ca handle it.

I have read a few comments about hypethreading and that turning it off makes for a smoother ride, not tried this myself yet as I have had no problems.

I am using the latest nvidia drivers for BF3 anf have has no crashes at all.

 

Sounds like I solved my crashing issue. DO NOT RUN ATI TRAY TOOLS, there's the solution lol.

This is one of the best games I've ever played in my life. And I've only played a few hours of SP so far.

Entirely maxed out at 1920x1200, minus AA (but yes to post AA on maximum).

I nearly jizzed during the mission with the jet. The waves, the cockpit scratches. Just holy ****.

Also, Operation Guillotine has to be the hardest FPS level ever on the hardest difficulty. I died about 20 times with that bastard yelling "go through the building" or whatever.

LOL :nerd:

i prefer not to run BF3 ..joking

 

GAAAH. I could be playing this right now if D2D hadn't run out of keys, and I dunno if they're even in sock now, as my friend is offline.

This bites ~ I win a free copy, but not able to play the same day as everyone else. I guess that's Karma. You do bad stuff, you get bad rewards.

 

This has to be the most positive "new game" thread I've ever read here.

I'm enjoying it too...:banana:

 

me too but a bit sad my rank is back to 0. after being 45 or 47 on beta

 

Never really get the people who got to R50 in the beta. Coruse it was going to get wiped, and all your efforts gone.

Also, I read this time it will take months and months to get unlocks. They said they will take much longer than Bad Company 2, more like BF2. So it's going to be abit of effort this time.

 

Loving this game,love SP and MP,game delivers bigtime.
