Battlefield 3

Request a minute of silence for Rambo, he lost 3 jets yesterday due to a AA gun and much tears were shed :D
 
oooo, I can't wait to test the AA...

how are the stingers Kosmik? also more potent?

and that evil "sun-in-a-can"?
 
STUPID FREAKING ORIGIN.

Left it to update all night. PC didn't crash, origin was open the whole time. Internet was fine. Come back and it wants to start all over again. FML.

Stupid freaking game. Waste of my time effort and money.

Why can't they just make it downloadable patch separate from Origin. So that I can download it with a download manager or torrent it or something.

Stupid stupid stupid.

They could of just use steam , but they had to go use origin :/
 
I have to say though the changes are really nice, the most noticeable one for me is the chat box, no longer takes up space on your screen, i barely even notice it now.

Yeah the chat is much better. The only gripe I have is that your name in the chat doesn't change colour. Green for squad, blue for team, white for all would be nice. The patch also fixed my startup crashing issue; no longer does BF3 crash 3 times before working! It goes in first time!

Is it just me or has the damage been slightly increased? Seinne Crossing seemed more messy than usual last night.
 
Just get it from Killa or somebody.
Or go onto the Carbonite forums, I'm sure someone there will help you out very quick.

Yea, I don't mind driving to Randburg. But he hasn't PM'd me yet.

I think he doesn't want to share his Cell number with me :D
 
Just a stupid question. I haven't played in a while, since my game keeps on crashing or it auto quits to desktop mid-game. I have a suspicion it might be me old 9800 GTX (Direct X9) card that's taking some strain, or does the problem lie with the game? I still have a core 2 duo 3.0 ghz cpu. Man I'm due for an upgrade. Thanks.

They say the minimum requirement is a dx 10 capable card and windows 7.

Get a new card because i would imagine your card is not coping.
 
Yeah I thought as much. Thanks man. So next question. Best GFX card for BF3?

When you say best do you mean the top card or the cheapest one that can run it?

6990/590 high end stuff. I would recommend the 6990 for 4999 ex vat from esquire. I would not go lower than a 6850 1299 ex vat from esquire but you can go lower if money is toit. What cpu do you have?
 
Now origin is stuck again at 75.15%. I'm just going to leave it on all day and hopefully it sorts it self out.

Yes sorry. Just after I made the post I realised I was a bit vague. It doesn't have to be the top end cards. Just a card that will run BF3 smoothly and that will be "future proof", at least for a while. I'm still running the ol' core 2 duo 3.0 ghz cpu.

I play on a 9600GT and have no problems what so ever.
Update your driver to the BF3 specific one from Nvidia.
 
Have done so and it was better, but still no complete joy :(

Is the 9800 a gaming card though? Not sure.
May OC it a bit?

edit: Nvm, the 9800GTX is even better than my card :eek:

Something else must be wrong. Update your DirectX?
