Right click the game in Origin. Tick "Update game". It will update, then you play.

Unless you have the problems that cadaveca and I have, then it breaks the hell out of your game. I'm on my 3rd download. But, it's important to note, this only happens to a very lucky few.

Yeah, i do not think it's the game code causing my problems...it's Origin applying a patch that is invalid. I did confirm just now that if you stop the patch from being applied, that scan of the game's files works without issue.

I submitted an official bug report to EA/DICE..we'll see if they sort it out.

The crashes/freezes I have been getting are 100% driver-related(Crossfire). I merely tried the game file scan to ensure that nothing was corrupted from the improper shutdowns. The two issues together can be quite frustrating. Seems my using a conotrller has it's downsides too.

Fortunately, I have other important stuff to do to occupy my time, so I don't really mind playing with installs and redownloads too much...at least if the problem happens to someone else, I'll know how to deal with it.

I spent over an hour this morning in live chat, to no avail. I had a hard time convincing the support person that clearing my browser's cache was never gonna fix the "Ready to Install" loop in Origin. I just bagged my BF3 folder and redownloaded. It was my own fault for trying to repair, again, after the last experience. I'm just a sucker, I guess that repairing something should fix it

Well I stayed up most of the night and did manage to get in contact with EA support. They have fixed battlelog........... woohoo I can play............. no wait...

ERROR - Game could not login to EA online backend

Everytime I get this error!!!!! FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCCCCCKKK!!!

Still haven't gotten it fixed, support reckons I need to open all these different ports on my router etc... tried that and still no go..

This is sooooooo gay.

Darkleoco · Oct 26, 2011

A little persistence and that should clear up hopefully, I was having those issues as well but after closing and reopening origin a few times it cleared up, now I just have the crossfire/ultra settings issues I have been having :/ oh well at least the game runs perfectly on high without crossfire.

In case you are interested.

Ati Drivers: 11.10 Preview 2

I spent hours tweaking my card to find the sweet spot for BF3.

I was able to recreate the stuttering others are experiencing and was able to resolve it by simply tweaking the video card on CCC and doing some adjustments in BF3 settings.

I'm running butterly smooth on Ultra settings with my 5850 and never drop below 58 FPS

Here are my settings to run BF3 like butter:

Darkleoco · Oct 26, 2011

I wonder if I can actually change video settings without it freezing my game now lol

Wrigleyvillain · Oct 26, 2011

Um according to that Cat driver screenshot you're forcing 4x Edge Detect Super Sampling. I don't think thats actually works (yet) and if it did you'd certainly know. Why are you trying to force AA from driver in the first place?

Also did you noticed any diffs from messing with Tesselation slider?

Believe it or not I got performance increase without sacrificing eyecandy.

I had it under AMD Optimization before.

Once again I spent hours tweaking here and there. I'm just sharing what's working for me. :toast:

I'm tempted to buy this game last second but I missed out on the pre-order free map pack thing

I would pick it up anyway even with some severe issues people are having the game is still excellent when you get it working.

Limited Edition has the maps...preorder bonus was something else. So get teh Limited Edition, and you're good to go.

TPU TeamSpeak server and Game server are up too!

MxPhenom 216 · Oct 26, 2011

anyone know the number of sales (XBOX360/PS3/PC combined) for BF3 so far?

Darkleoco · Oct 26, 2011

Just tried Ultra with Crossfire disabled and I am getting 50 FPS max and never less than 30 so that is pretty good considering the drivers are still young

After my match the game ended up freezing up and in my next match their was some texture popping so I guess some issues with Ultra settings are still their >.<

Why disable CF? CF works no problem as far as I can tell.

Fix'ins

You were kicked from the server by an administrator

Make sure you've selected PunkBuster "On" under your Server Browser options. That should stop you from getting kicked.

AppCrash BF3.exe

There maybe a fix if you are using an antivirus/3rd party firewall/defrag, etc program that runs in the background consistently reading/writing, etc. Check for an update. For example: Update your anti virus program. No, not just a definition update to protect you. An update for your anti virus program. If there is one install it and reboot. See if that stops the crashing. If not, uninstall your anti virus program/3rd party firewall/and any other major background running application you have installed. Reboot and try the game again to see if things improve.

No, just don't "disable it" uninstall it and reboot. If that doesn't work then you have to wait for a patch for the game.

I've been shopping for a new GPU this morning.

Now I got a whole new system in mind. This is a fuggin' disease, I swear. Alcoholism but on a scale that scares my bank account.

Can't decide between 6950/70 Xfire or 570/80 SLI. Gotta be 2GB cards though.

If you're on a budget I am pretty sure me and the other TPUers who have a similar GPU setup can guarantee you 60fps all around with 6950 2GB crossfire in SP and MP at ultra settings. Personally I think it is the sweet spot for maximum performance right now without ripping your wallet in half

Crossfire makes the game stutter and generally perform rather poorly compared to using a single high performance card at this time.

No it doesn't. :confused:

I hate random disconnects

Oh yeah, I can't fly jets with M/KB either

Crossfire causes stuttering for me and has random frame-rate drops as well :/ I heard many others were also having the same problem when I asked in game as well?
The game for me runs much smoother with Crossfire disabled.

Are you using 11.10 preview drivers? Crossfire is working smoothly on my end here, the only dips I get is when zooming in as a tank gunner lol, happened in BC2 as well.

DannibusX · Oct 26, 2011

Well, to be fair most of the guys running Crossfire in this thread are schitzophrenic about their PC's. Cadaveca sometimes whispers sweet nothings into his microphone to make sure his machine is running smoothly and I have heard erocker yell extremely crude things in German at his machine.

Also, they really get down to tweaking their settings.

Game runs fine for me with CrossFire. No stutter.

I use 11.10 Preview version 3. No CAP. Disable ULPS.
