Battlefield 3 and Avast users

[CrouxL]

Any problems with Battlelog? I have been batteling with this as well.
I found this on the net.

For Avast, you need to go into the Real-time Web Shield's expert settings, and check "Scan traffic from well-known browser processes only". It's not a perfect solution (it's like leaving the front door cracked open, in my analogy above), but it could be worse. Or you may disable shields for duration. Or get another anti-virus program.

Could you provide a bit more of a description as to what your trying to explain.
Just a bit more detail
When you say any problems , what problems are you referring to ie are you saying use of battlelog
or are you saying game crashes or server disconnects .

Just a bit more detail may be even describing why you had to find a solution initially as well.


Thanks

Have you contacted Avast about this? Maybe they can release a patch?

I just right click and disable all shields when I game.

I have uninstalled Avast because of this and installed Microsoft Security Essentials all works fine now.

In my case Battlelog for joining games work fine but when I try to create parties and Coop the windows in the tray below Battlelog did not enable in order for me to see the start of the games and the Party msgs

Ah ha! Thanks for this. I was wondering why I had to reload battlelog the whole time to get my party window opened. Gonna try another anti virus.

I have the same issue. Now I know. Back to MSSE then...

 

[Jaco Smit]

Just a thought, the sandbox mode tool, won't it work there?

Me and a friend had an issue with avast and co-op he didn't see any invites I sent and it also seems to screw with the game manager but disabling the web shield sorted everything out. Took us longer than I care to admit figuring the problem out so kudos for opening a thread for other people that might be experiencing the same problem

 

[Off-The-CHart]

yeah heard the same thing last night over TS, with clan members.

couldn't see each other's invites until fiddled with AV.
