I was able to finally "fix" the unmappable mouse button using Logitech's Setpoint software. And what a world of difference do decent controls make! I still play waaaaay below par on what I consider acceptable but I'm getting there. Next step - purchasing a HD6950. :D

Does anybody else dislike the high damage model? I feel like I'm constantly required to either couch or jump into prone or else my chances of survival are practically nonexistent...

I want to play Caspian so bad, but I kind of want that to be a release date treat for myself.

Are you saying you cant map mouse 4/5 to something unless you use the mouse software?

Yes, you are not able to remap mouse keys within the game. A beta bug that imo shouldn't have been there.

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.

Sounds good. (Y)

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.

I just Googled BF3 Ati beta drivers. There were several links.

If anyone hasn't yet upgraded their drivers here are the Battlefield 3 Optimised drivers for NVIDIA and ATi graphics cards. These are the official releases from NVIDIA and ATi they haven't been modified by any 3rd party.

Quite a big performance increase for you NVIDIA owners (38% according to NVIDIA)

ATi v11.10 (32 & 64-bit, Vista / 7): http://downloads.gur...nload-2795.html

NVIDIA v285.38 (32-bit, Vista / 7): http://downloads.gur...nload-2793.html

NVIDIA v285.38 (64-bit, Vista / 7): http://downloads.gur...nload-2794.html

NVIDIA v285.38 (32-bit, XP): http://downloads.gur...nload-2792.html

Also I've made a Neowin platoon on BF3. Feel free to join it. It'll be a nice and easy way for all of us to play together. Plus we can compare stats easily.

Is it possible to be in more than one platoon? I have my own for a few friends^^

Played some Caspian border and all I saw was this:-

FU jets for wrecking my gameplay.

Yeah I'm a member of four platoons at the moment.
Oh you can laugh now but wait till I get used to the map, slow movement, high weapon damage and jumping into prone :p
Dude, I swear down if you go prone you'll never hear the end of it from me. I hate proners. With a fricking passion.
Good idea Singh400!!

I requested to join the platoon :)

Everyone who has asked to join. Has been accepted.

Sent the request for the Neowin platoon, although I really hope they reset the stats once the retail game comes out, I have really just been messing with my graphics settings more than anything else, so my K/D ratio is horrid. Not like it will be much better when the final game is released, but it is truly awful now. I can pretty much guarantee once tanks are involved though, I will put up a damn good fight for that top tank driver though.

      Get $50 of aloSIM Mobile Data Traveler eSim credit for just $24.97 by Steven Parker Today's highlighted deal comes via our Apps + Software section of the Neowin Deals store, where you can save 50% off aloSIM Mobile Data Traveler Lifetime eSim Credit: Pay $24.97 for $50. Stay connected affordably in 120+ countries/regions with your own lifetime eSIM! An eSIM is a digital SIM card. It's basically just mobile data. Once it's activated on your device, it can connect you to data networks in other countries – giving you an internet connection with NO roaming charges. With aloSIM, you can load prepaid eSIM data packages onto your phone, tablet, or computer. Your lifetime eSIM never expires, so it's yours forever and there are never any monthly charges. You'll get $50 in eSIM data credit, which is almost always enough to cover all your data roaming needs for a full year. But if you run out of data, you can always top up your lifetime eSIM and stay connected internationally. Pay $24.97 for a lifetime eSIM with $50 in travel data credit Use your eSIM to join data networks in 120+ countries Install your lifetime eSIM on a compatible device to roam on local data networks Your lifetime eSIM never expires, and can be topped up with more data anytime Many data packages cost as little as $4.50 and last 7 days. Depending on the package you choose, the length of time varies. Good to know Length of access: lifetime For NEW customers only Instant digital redemption Once you add your $50 credit to your aloSim account you have up to 12-months to use it — after that your credit will expire When you pay for a data plan you also get a free phone number (via Hushed) for the same duration of your plan that was purchased - IE 7 day eSim plan gives you a free 7-day phone number Purchased coupon must be redeemed and used within 12 months This deal is not stackable (one offer per aloSIM account) A $4.50 data package will last 7 days The data DOES expire, and you WILL NOT have any leftover data for your next trip unless it takes place within the validity period. While the eSIM never expires, the actual data package is only valid for the length of time stated at purchase (i.e. seven days after activation, 30 days after activation, etc.) So if you buy a seven-day package and only use a tiny bit, that package is still going to expire after seven days. Access options: mobile (check compatibility) Max number of device(s): 1 Updates included Here's the deal: This aloSIM Mobile Data Traveler eSim $50 Credit normally costs ... $50, but it can be yours for just $24.97 for a limited time, a saving of $25 (50% off).

      WordArt was cool. We now have color fonts as a substitute although Word only supports COLRv0 and COLRv1 (Fraud OS 11 only). The OpenType SVG color font format needs to be supported by Office. Adobe's apps support it
