Battlefield 3 Beta

My game crashes every now and again (when there's simply to many things happening on screen at once). All settings on Low. But even on low, game still looks really amazing. But my framerate is damn near bearly playable. This game does NOT like Dual Cores (mine anyway...). Such a shame :c

And the lag... Geez!

So many of my frags stolen from me.
 
Ok. Second round of play for me...

Having way more 6 feet under experiences....

And also noticed a lot of foreigners on SA servers? That's no good for latency.

Played some just now. Maps are interesting. I sometimes shoot at teamies, I think everyone looks the same?
 
Well after a few days of playing I can say Yes it looks good , yes its fun , but it certainly is not perfect the Stupid web browser is a terrible Idea , Origin serves no purpose other than being a steam wanabe , none of the friend on Origin carry over to Battlelog WTF is up with that . The game is not stable yes I know its beta , but there are portions of the map where you just sink in
There is a insane amout of glitches , add to that constant server disconnects , which as far as I can tell happen when there is too much load , I wonder how the 64 man servers are handling Caspian border , cause metro is struggling.
Those that have HD Audio , even just output get re-verb every now and again , which is sad considering the Audio on BC2 was so freakin awesome , this in turn some how (yes its a mystery ) pulls more resources and then you get frame skips.

Yes its awesome it looks good but , honestly when I played in the day with less guys on it was a far better experience.
I would say they still have a fair amount to do before they get this to the game they and every one else hyped it to be.
I think for now I will put my pre order on hold , God Knows I don't want another medal of honor to be my Coffee cup coaster .
 
The following files in my WAGE download were corrupt:

MP_007.sb (400 odd MB)
Chunks0.sb (900 odd MB)

So... another day of downloading for me. I've spent over 11GB on the BF3 BETA. Thankfully I'm uncapped.

must have been your download manager, downloaded fine here without error.
 
Anyone having issues connecting to games?

I can connect fine to empty and low pop servers (0-8) but when I try to connect to populated servers it just hangs at "Connecting".

I dunno ......... so many people are having no issues with this beta, or let me say very few issues (even though I don't) before I get my head chewed off :rolleyes: How are we supposed to differentiate what is server based / pc based / internet based, etc when we have such a different experience amongst people.
 
I downloaded off the WAGE FTP server without any issues.

I have noticed some glitches in the game. Sometimes CTD. I've also picked up some lag issues. Which is weird because my ping is 30ms.

What sucks is the AMD driver optimization. In 1920 x 1080, I can run the game on Ultra settings with no frame rate loss. In 5760 x 1080, I have to play on Low settings :(

Hopefully another 6970 will sort that out.
 
Does anyone have this problem:

I hit quick match, it says connecting, then found server. Then I click Join game, and then it says joining, and seems to try and "load" but then nothing happens. Nothing at all. The join box disappears, and nothing really loads. =/

Tried a lot of things. but can't get the damn thing to start.

Anyone else got this? Gotta say, Origin and this browser-based menu seem really awful.
 
I fixed my problems by connecting directly through my machine (PPPoE) instead of going through the router. So it's obviously a port forwarding issue. There is a post up on the official forums somewhere saying which ports you need to forward.
 
Yeh definitely need to allow a lot of ports for the game and origin. I just stuck my pc in a dmz for my gaming OS.

played the game ... really love it ... I just have 1 issue though ... some of the key bindings
dont work so well unable to bink keys at all ... and it wont see some of my mouse buttons
well only sees left and right in fact ... sigh
 
I posted an old school woraround to the mosue button issue here:
http://mygaming.co.za/forum/showthread.php/18094-iGame-Battlefield-3-Beta-Discussion-Thread

Summary:

Not Being Able to Bind Keys (No Known Fix)
** UPDATE **
Mouse Binding - Using Programmable Mouse and Driver Software from Manufacturer Bind the Required Mouse Keys to Echo Keyboard Commands
(ie Bind Left Shoulder Button to Keyboard Command 'F')
This allows for all buttons to be used on the mouse instead of Scroll/RMB/LMB

Key binding worked for me :/ other than not picking up caps lock as a bindable key.

Got a few bugs myself:-
1.Key Bindings (going to Try workaround)
2.Sometimes crashed but seems more stable with beta Nvidia display driver.
3.on Rush, bomb site A has a hole in the left of the bomb site(I.e. i full almost right through the map), you'll find it right by the rocks.
3.on Rush, bomb site B has a hole in the left of the bomb site(I.e. i full almost right through the map), you'll find it right by the stand up steel walls.
4.When i through a grenade when running, it shows him pulling the pin out, but arm never follows through, have to do it a second time around, which is pointless.
5.Some opponent and team players Stand straight with arms out, almost like set to modeling mode.
6.A enemy player reloaded his weapon and the Mag was about head hight about the gun.

Still these bugs dont bother me, only 1,2 and 3.2 and 3 most importantly cause you can crouch and kill enemies trying to plant and they wont see you cause your right past the grass area.
 
Im enjoying it a lot. Only thing that is getting on my nerves is the ADS prob im getting. Just randomly it doesnt want to ADS. I have to switch to secondary and then back for it to ADS.

Was that you yesterday?

I can't bind my middle mouse button which is annoying. I need it to stab people!

Other than that the game has been pretty stable for me (ATI card) no crashes, only sometimes I get these weird desyncing issues where is feels like I'm no longer in the place I'm suppose to be and my actions have no effect, pretty rare though. I just wish they had a map that was more like Battlefield, with vehicles and bigger more open spaces with more ways to attack an objective.

Bad Company 1 had some of my favourite multiplayer maps of all time. :)
