Battlefield 3

[M0nkey_Man]

NVIDIA Geforce 9800 GTX+, never failed me with Crysis, and the graphics in BF3 don't even look like a challenge (minimum settings). The game craps out when there's a lot of sound mostly, turning my view makes it worse. At one point there was so much sound going on that apparently the sound system crashed for a moment and everything went silent, and the game seemed to start running better, I think.

 I've tried Hi-Fi, Headphones and Home Cinema audio settings, they all do the same thing.

I just updated everything after the game released.

I'll keep trying stuff, maybe I'm using too much RAM already, maybe BF3 hates me, maybe I need my money back. Who knows, I just don't need so much hassle at the moment.

Edit: Now I think it's a CPU problem. When I stand still everything is fine, GPU is used at about 80%, sounds don't stutter when I empty a clip. But when I turn round everything screws up, my GPU drops to 16% utilization and the temperature drops like a rock. Maybe it's the GPU screwing up when I turn and the CPU has to take over. I'm just rambling now, I don't know enough about this garbage to figure it out.

just wait for a few patches to come out, im sure your not the only one with these problems.

My game said it has activation issues, so I called tech support. Then a few minutes later I got a notice on Origin that they're working on the issue I'm having.

From Battlefield's facebook page:
We take cheating and exploiting very seriously in Battlefield 3 and want to make it clear that it will not be tolerated. This week, we’ve banned hundreds of offending accounts and have stats-wiped additional accounts for exploiting (such as boosting). We’ll continue to be monitoring and taking action against the minority that doesn’t respect the integrity of the game.
Its great to know that DICE is monitoring their games and making sure it stays clean. More than IW/Treyarch can say about COD.

I have  yet to see anything that is clearly cheating going on, all in  all  I think its a damn good  game.

I have seen a lot mostly people with aim-bots or once someone hacked the server and had everyone teleport to a single spot where he through c4 and blew you up as you arrived there lol.  Supposedly they fixed that so it can't happen anymore, was actually quite funny.

I'm finally starting to get past the learning curve. 

Turns out, you have to stick with your squad almost all the time, or at least with some teammates. You can't go lone wolf like in BC2, aiming is easier now due to practice, and I can finally keep a +1KD ratio, if not, I'm in the top 5 scorers.

Took me a while, but I got it.

Love the game, my longest head shot, 642m while playing Rush on Kharg island.
