This Battlelog garbage is HORRID. I know there are people who aren't having any issues joining games or launching the game etc through web page. But I'm not one of them now. And it's a real pain in the ass to try to play with friends through this right now. I don't know what DICE was thinking with this one honestly. They could still bundle Origin and all that stuff with the game without making the server browser etc all web based.

Bleh.

Performance is way better than expected. I don't know if the settings are actually changing but I put everything on ultra and it ran just fine. No noticeable drop in fps. But like I said, I'm not sure if the settings are actually changing or not. Not sure if restarting the game is required to change graphic settings.

I turned off motion blur though and was hoping for an option to turn bloom off or tone it down some, but sadly that's the only option they didn't give us.

How are people finding performance on their various systems relative to the published requirements? Better than expected, about right?

Definitely better than expected. I let the game set the settings. Looks like I am high on everything and med AA running 1920 x 1200 and it looks great and runs very smooth. I am sure there are more graphics to be seen on ultra but as it stands I am more than satisfied with the way it runs and looks.

i7 920, ATI 5850 Black Edition 6GB Ram Win 7 64 bit

I downloaded the beta drivers without issue.

You have a link to the Beta drivers.

I am having issues installing the newest official release. I gets to the point where it's installing the driver itself and does the turn your monitor on and off bit but the screens never come back on. I let it sit over night last night with no luck and had to hard reboot it this morning. I have tried 3 times with the exact same results.

My PC specs are as follows: i7 920 @ 3.8GHz, 6GB Ram, 2 x ATI Radeon HD5770, Windows 7 x64.

Well... since we're on the topic of performance right now and i'll most likely be waiting till tomorrow to play and see for myself, is there anyone here with a system similar enough to mine(in sig) that could give me an idea how it'll perform @ 1920x1080?

you have a computer better then mine and i can run the game at that res, graphics all set to high (HBOA set to off) with 4x AF/AA and it runs pretty good. I am also not using any of the new beta drivers out there that would help performance with this game. You should be more then fine.

also, battlelog alone is reason enough not to buy this game for me. soooo annoying. plus IMO this really is nothing special compared to bc2.

another beef i have, while cool, knifing takes way to long to do...

anyone still wanna bet me that this will outsell MW3 on PC?

I never posted about this last night but I should have, try turning off your AV software if you have any running. I literally tried for 20 minutes to join games, could not get into anything, just was stuck on joining game. Was getting really frustrated. I closed Firefox and Battlelog, turned off my AV, clicked on play in Origin, and I joined the first game i tried in less than 1 minute. Weird thing was I never had an issue with the Alpha, but for some reason turning off my AV completely worked. If you already have your AV off, not sure then.

Nope, don't have any AV or AS running. The system just sucks :p

Finding a US server is ****ing impossible right now. Literally every server with remotely acceptable ping is full 24/7. There's isn't even close to enough servers. They better have a massive capacity increase on the 29th or no one will be able to freakin play.

Where is everyone preordering this from? I would like to preorder the digital download, as I don't want to wait for a disc to ship to me. Is Amazon.com the key spot for preorders, or are there better places? I've used steam in the past, but thinking of going another route this time.

I preordered off Origin.

It's not available through steam.

And since Origin is mandatory requirement; Might as well knock out two birds with one stone and get it from the source..

I wonder how bad getting into a game will be after tomorrow...

Getting into a Caspian Border game is almost impossible...

Thats what I figured, especially thanks to the password being leaked.

What is messed up is I saw a member of the site yesterday playing Caspian Border, the server he was on had 27/64 people, sent him a message through Origin asking him for the password, and he refused to give it up like he was going to get in trouble or some ****.

Even more messed up, I was asked to join his clan, which I decided why not and did a few weeks back, So yeah, not only was it a fellow Neowinian, but a quote on quote "clan mate." Told me to hop on teamspeak so I could then be invited. I said no thanks. Not only did I think it was real messed up, but seriously immature. Needless to say, I am no longer in that clan. :rofl:

    • Why you need to take back control of your synced passwords and how to go about doing that

      By Steven P. · Posted

      I hear you on browser password manager, in my case I have two Google profiles, one was created when Google decided to grandfather us out of Workspace for Domains (with the replacement being too expensive for 25 users) resulting in my domain email address no longer being able to be registered to a new Workspace I created (for myself and another co-owner) so I could use Takeout and sync over some stuff to the new Workspace. Then I have my personal Google profile which I could be logged into on my desktop or Mobile, so I am saving passwords on one or the other, and when an URL changes another password for the same service gets added, it basically ends up being a giant mess. Unless I missed something is there a local decent password manager that can override the browser password managers for Chrome, Edge, Firefox (profiles) so that there is only one vault, and does that also support Passkeys (which to me are still confusing because sometimes it will ask for a Passkey on a phone I am no longer using!) Microsofts implementation of Passkeys is the worst!

      It's utterly baffling that we have no idea when we'll get new features even well after they've been released. Why Microsoft thinks this is a good rollout strategy is beyond me.

    • Creative Sound Blaster AE-X PCIe review: your headphones will love it

      By M. Murcek · Posted

      I owned a lot of Soundblaster cards over the years all the way back to the ISA slot era. I use a Soundblaster X3 external now because I'm able to run it through a KVM and have it follow the machine I happen to be using. It drives a set of JBL 305 powered monitors wonderfully. I'm not gaming or doing home theater through it, so rear channels aren't a consideration for me, though it does have side / rear / sub outputs.
