Issue is with the servers, not the game as far as I have noticed. Because on our servers, they have provided us a punkbuster fix for server which I have no installed. Please join our own Pakistans server and check if it works fine.

it seems playing on ultra on SP mode causes a bit lag (occasionally) nd same settings on CO-OP causes game to crash. I know my GPU is old but i have played every game on ultra with max resolution till now...this game really make me sad :'(

in SP my game was crashing so i updated drivers to 11.10 and that has apparently fixed the issue.

for MP game stucks and then gives no responding error after every 2 - 5 minutes.

as far as performance is concerned its smooth as silk on 1080p ultra

Yep latest driver bf3 wala karliya tha......



Why aren't you playing on ultra? i have inferior gpu then you i.e. gtx550ti but i am getting good around 40-50 fps most of the time (i have turned off MSAA though)....
I had MSAA to 4x. Maybe i'll try turning it off. And the game was stuttering. Though many people reported this. Even with extreme rigs.

I have downloaded the reloaded release which was 13.x GB in size and after installation, it became 15.x GB.

The very first issue I encountered was the Game Crash. Google showed me its because of the *" " sign in directory. Removed it and the game started fine.

I closed the game down after tunning the settings to Ultra (GTX260, no DX11) and after some Key Bindings. I haven't started playing it just yet. Instead i am downloading the latest drivers right now ... just to make sure i dont get crappy performance.

As soon as the download of drivers finishes, i'll start the game.

At this point ... if there is any issues i need to know ... Please Let me know. Because now, i dont want ANY issue to hinder my gameplay.

EDIT: I am sorry i didn't realize i posted this in wrong thread. Did not see this thread is in PG Lounge. Apologies for that.

I dont know if this is a performance issue but all the servers are laggy, and my game crashes after about 20-30 mins of play each time. I checked to see if it was overheating, and its not.

<<<my PC specs.

any advice guys? dunno what to do...

Surprisingly enough I get almost the same fps on ultra and not much noticable performance gain. I've re-checked. Updated and everything. Overclocked at 887//1187, on Ultra, Motion Blur off (because I dont like it) and MSAA down to 2x, on 1920x1080 @ 60Hz, I am getting a 48-54 fps on most maps. The less terrain and detailed ones (operation firestorm etc) go up to as much as 65fps ON A 6850 :eek: :eek: :eek:

I can only imagine how awesome it would be running for you guys with 560ti and above!

Did you revamp the keys?

It's happening to me if I revamp any key with "enter" key.

I was trying to map ENTER key for entering/exit vehicle and opening doors.

PLUS try switching the RAW MOUSE option on and off.

FOR PEOPLE GETTING KICKED/CLOSED FROM MP AFTER FEW MINUTES

Simply download the latest PB and paste its contents in Origin/BF 3/PB
this does not work for me, i even played on non PB server and still game crashes

---------- Post added at 08:45 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:38 AM ----------

has any one downloaded the 15.7 gb one and played multiplayer ? are you getting kicked out of the server after few minutes? i have tried nearly every thing.

lowering video settings.
disabling kaspersky
repairing game.
updating PB
updated ATI driver
there was even a fix for running game on 1 core which makes the game run as slideshow.
played on non-steam servers.

no i am downloading game through origin to see if the games files are corrupt. so any one with 15.7gb torrent please confirm if you can play MP crashing issue.

yes, this is exactly whats happening with me, only it happens after about 10-20 minutes.

i also tried lowering video settings, seeing if my PC overheated, disabling anti-virus, updating drivers. nothing works.
