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

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.

    • This seems backwards. You should have to explicitly authorize files for outside use. It shouldn't be the default.
    • Wow you are right, I never even noticed this until you said it! (870E Aorus Master) Before testing this card I had a TP-Link tx401 10GbE PCIe card in that slot (now using XikeStor 310 Thunderbolt to Ethernet adapter).
    • Lack of 5.1 makes this a no sale. What I really wish creative would make would be a USB version that supports 5.1 analog audio for speakers, can switch to headphone mode, and matches the specs of their top tier cards. The current X870E AMD motherboards dont have a great option for adding a PCIE x1 card without cutting down pcie lanes to the graphics card.
    • The Microsoft Office feature that time forgot by Usama Jawad I have been actively using Microsoft Word for the past couple of decades in academic, professional, and personal capacities. Although I used it through the perpetual version of Office apps at the start, I have been an active subscriber of Microsoft 365 Family subscription for over five years now. This means that my Word installation is regularly updated with new features, some of which I don't really like, but that's beside the point. As new features get continuously added, old ones that used to be a staple of Word have started to take a backseat. While I was reminiscing over my Windows experiences from my childhood today, I suddenly remember one such capability that I heavily used in my younger years but have not really touched in over a decade, and haven't seen in documents created by others either. That feature is WordArt. Just to clarify, WordArt is not a Microsoft product specific to Word, and is included in other Office apps like PowerPoint and Excel too. However, Microsoft Word is the app that I used Word Art in heavily, while making assignments or other deliverables for school. If you're unaware, WordArt offers a collection of styling techniques for text, introducing 3D effects like shadows and reflections in the text. It used to be one of the coolest things ever when I was at school and me and my classmates would often compete to ensure that our assignment's title in WordArt was truly the best and stood out above the rest. See some examples of WordArt, still present in the latest versions of Word below: Although WordArt is undeniably cool, it has taken a bit of a backseat, and has been relegated from the Home tab to the Insert toolbar, along with a bunch of other utilities, making it very easy to miss. This isn't exactly surprising because WordArt doesn't really have a place in academic and professional documents anymore, and while I have seen some creatives using it while developing promo material, even that sector has gravitated more towards dedicated graphic designing tools in the past years. For the vast majority of us, WordArt doesn't really exist, and that's alright. At least, it's still an option that can allow us to reminisce our childhood or even make some quick text stylization, if we really need it. Perhaps its usage has waned over time or the novelty has worn off, but I haven't even seen children use it in their academic assignments anymore. In fact, many don't even know that it exists. Maybe that's the fate of every beloved feature. What once felt cutting edge eventually becomes a relic, quietly tucked away as tastes, trends, and technology move on. WordArt may no longer dominate school assignments or decorate the covers of classroom projects, but for those of us who grew up with it, it remains a colorful reminder of a time when making text glow, bend, and cast giant shadows felt like the height of creativity. Hidden behind a few clicks in modern Word, it still survives not as a productivity tool, but as a small piece of computing nostalgia that refuses to disappear.
