Well, I am just about finished with the SP portion of this game and anyone who does not believe that this is a direct ripoff from Black Ops is smoking mushrooms. The interrogations between mission, all that is missing is the chair , needles..etc. It is not that bad of a game though.

They really need to fix the crashing to desktop on certain servers. This one round I was doing really well, like 25-2 and the friggen' game crashes and OF COURSE BF3 does not give you any 'grace' period to re-join the server ...

They should really make it so that if you D/C and you re-connect right away your stats are still there.

WHY THE **** WOULD THEY BUFF THE MOBILE AA VS INFANTRY? Seriously, what the hell dice? The tunguska was already crazy overpowered on nosharh canals rush, now its even worse.

Attackers cant even kill it if it has just one engineer repairing it. It kills infantry in like 1 hit, and is effective vs vehicles.

Dude... DICE doesn't listen to Battlefield players, cmon you should have known that already.

They do hear the newbies that don't know jack about the game though. They like to keep them happy so they return to buy the next Battlefield game in a few years.

So I guess I am the only person who now has green for some graphics and is seeing major flickering and just messed up graphics overall?

First match I hopped on to, it was unplayable, just missing textures and flickering all over the place. I closed Origin, relaunched it, found another server, and this time it was playable, just some flickering here and there, and just a few missing textures as well. Considering the game played fine for me on Monday, I am assuming the patch is to blame.

EDIT - Just realized that for some reason my SLi got disabled in my Nvidia control panel? What is real weird is game was running like it was enabled, I was getting the same FPS I always do, so perhaps that was the culprit. Eating some lunch and will report back in a bit if that was the issue.

Anyone else got what seems to be a lag problem with BF3 on PS3? Coming from COD it seems very laggy and unresponsive, is this meant to be realisitc?

Make sure you filter by servers in your local region, and if you talking things like sniper rifles then yes there is travel time and drop, and you need to lead your targets and aim high if your a long way away.

but with assault weapons there should't really be any lag..more likely server issues or your connection.

Got a problem after the update. The XBOX360's gamepad that's connected to my PC, doesn't stop vibrating when I'm being hit, fix something with the engineer or just shoot... while playing with mouse and keyboard (I only switch to the gamepad when piloting the helicopter). I searched all over the settings and couldn't find the option to disable the vibration of the gamepad when it's not being used. Anyone know about some ini I can edit, or how to solve the problem otherwise?

It's really bothering. Not me (I'm playing with surround headphones on on pretty high volume, and didn't notice the gamepad was dancing on the sub woofer of my speakers (that's where I store it) until my girlfriend got in to the room and started to wave her arms at me), but still bothering and I would like to find a fix.

Yeah it was my SLi being disabled that was making the game freak out, I think. I did get a BSOD just trying to launch the game once I enabled SLi. I then launched RAGE in Steam and it ran no issues (after I restarted my comp of course). I then went into BF3 and it ran perfect for 5 rounds. So not sure what is up, but I do know I was one of the lucky people who had no issues prior to the patch, so it looks like I now have issues. Gotta love patches on the PC.

So what exactly do they measure the Skill assessment on under player stats? Somehow I am currently at a skill level of 497! :s :laugh:

I have gone up and done with my K/D Ratio all day. Was at 2.0 in the morning, went down to 1.8, and almost got it back to 2.0 just now. Definitely my best KD ratio in a game in quite some time.

EDIT - I looked into Skill Level.

So basically, this is what determines your skill level on your stats page:

? You gain/loose SL based on every confrontation with another player

? Killing a highly skilled enemy gives you more points than killing someone less skilled

? Points are not transferred from a player to another, they are simply added/subtracted based on the encounter and the SL of both parts (thus, after an encounter, one part may go up 50 points while the other loses only 20)

? The SL is used for matchmaking

So basically I wound up killing some people with a high skill level. Seems rather open ended as to how they actually calculate it.

Listen after a few days of playing I have come to the conclusion this game is epic boring.. I join maps with the max 64 players and I still run around for sometimes the whole match without killing a single player then when a 40min game is over you see the top killer only had like 20 kills.. I find myself running around 98% of the time.. so boring..

When I read "I've been running around" it leaves me with the impression that you're not playing the game the correct way. This game isn't about killing people, or running around to find people (unless you're playing death match). The goal is to win. If you support your team in winning the game, you'll find plenty of people to kill, especially on 64 player servers. Noticed you've been playing the assault class for 2 hours, but only have four revives. You need to get that higher. Do your job and you'll find the action.

      Exactly, this is just the beginning. I hope that by that time, our inept politicians devise something like a Universal Basic Income, because unemployment and poverty rates will skyrocket otherwise. And believe me, robots that perform physical work aren't a matter of IF, but WHEN. No career is truly safe from AI/robots, it's just a matter of time.

The software also includes powerful tools for batch processing, translating subtitles, and converting between different subtitle formats.

Cool audio visualizer control - can display wave form and/or spectrogram Video player uses mpv, DirectShow, or VLC media player Visually sync/adjust a subtitle (start/end position and speed) Audio to text (speech recognition) via Whisper or Vosk/Kaldi Auto Translation via Google translate Rip subtitles from a (decrypted) dvd Import and OCR VobSub sub/idx binary subtitles Import and OCR Blu-ray .sup files - bd sup reading is based on Java code from BDSup2Sub Can open subtitles embedded inside Matroska files Can open subtitles (text, closed captions, VobSub) embedded inside mp4/mv4 files Can open/OCR XSub subtitles embedded inside divx/avi files Can open/OCR DVB and teletext subtitles embedded inside .ts/.m2ts (Transport Stream) files Can open/OCR Blu-ray subtitles embedded inside .m2ts (Transport Stream) files Merge/split subtitles Adjust display time Fix common errors wizard....and more. Subtitle Edit 5.0.0 changelog: Subtitle Edit 5 is a major new release and a big step for the project. For the first time, Subtitle Edit runs natively on Windows, macOS, and Linux from a single, modern, cross-platform codebase. The builds are self-contained, so no separate .NET installation is required, and on macOS and Linux the needed media components (mpv/ffmpeg) are bundled in. Please read before upgrading: Subtitle Edit 5 is a new application, not just an update of Subtitle Edit 4. It has been rebuilt from the ground up to be cross-platform, so: It is not 100% the same app. The look, layout, and some workflows have changed. Some things are in different places, and a few behave differently than in SE4. Not every SE4 feature exists in SE5 yet. SE5 covers all the core editing, conversion, sync, video playback, OCR, and online services, but some of the more specialized SE4 tools are not available yet. Features will continue to be added. If you rely on a specific SE4 feature that is missing, please keep SE4 installed alongside SE5. The easiest way to run both side by side is to use the Portable versions of SE4 and SE5, which keep their settings separate and do not interfere with each other. Which version should I use? Subtitle Edit 5: recommended for most users on Windows 10 (22H2) or newer, macOS 12+, and Linux. Subtitle Edit 4: please continue to use SE4 if you are on an older Windows version (Windows 7/8), or on older / slower computers where SE5 may not run well. SE4 remains available and is the right choice in those cases. To run SE4 and SE5 at the same time, use the Portable versions - you can try SE5 while keeping SE4 as a fallback.

    • Google Pixel 11 series: Here's what to expect

      By Hamid Ganji · Posted

      Google Pixel 11 series: Here's what to expect by Hamid Ganji Google Pixel 10 series In recent years, Google has successfully turned its Pixel devices into worthy contenders in the smartphone market. The search giant is now preparing to launch the Pixel 11 series in just a few months, and many Pixel fans are likely wondering what Google has in store for them this year. The next lineup of Google smartphones includes four devices: the Pixel 11, Pixel 11 Pro, Pixel 11 Pro XL, and Pixel 11 Pro Fold. This year, we don’t expect Google to bring revolutionary upgrades to its handsets, and the Pixel 11 series is likely to receive modest hardware improvements alongside a slew of AI-powered features. Here are the rumored specifications of the Google Pixel 11 series ahead of its official debut: When will the new Pixel phones be unveiled? The last two generations of Google Pixel phones (Pixel 9 series and Pixel 10 series) were launched in August, unlike the previous three generations that debuted in October. With that in mind, we expect Google to unveil the Pixel 11 series sometime in August 2026. The exact launch date has yet to be confirmed. Google Pixel 11 CAD renders - Image via AndroidHeadlines How much will the Pixel 11 series cost? Predicting the final price of upcoming smartphones has become increasingly difficult. As you may know, RAM and memory prices are rising sharply, leading to significant increases in the cost of consumer electronics. Recently, Apple CEO Tim Cook said that price increases for some future Apple products are unavoidable, suggesting that the iPhone 18 series could become more expensive. Google has remained tight-lipped about any potential price increases for the Pixel 11 series. If the company manages to maintain last year’s pricing structure, here’s what the lineup could cost: Pixel 11: $799 Pixel 11 Pro: $999 Pixel 11 Pro XL: $1,199 Pixel 11 Pro Fold: $1,799 Given current market conditions, it may be difficult for Google to avoid raising prices unless it adopts cost-saving measures, such as equipping the base model with 8GB of RAM. Google Pixel 11 series anticipated specs: We expect the Google Pixel 11 series to debut with a new Tensor G6 processor as well as an upgraded camera system. The overall design, however, is expected to remain largely unchanged across the lineup. Specifications Pixel 11 Pixel 11 Pro Pixel 11 Pro XL Pixel 11 Pro Fold Display 6.3-inch LTPO AMOLED / 120Hz refresh rate / up to 3100 nits of brightness 6.3-inch Super Actua LTPO OLED, 120Hz refresh rate, up to 3600 nits of brightness 6.8-inch Super Actua LTPO OLED, 120Hz refresh rate, up to 3600 nits of brightness 8-inch inner screen and 6.4-inch outer display, 120Hz refresh rate, up to 3600 nits of brightness RAM & Processor Tensor G6 / 8-12GB of RAM Tensor G6 / 12-16GB of RAM Tensor G6 / 12-16GB of RAM Tensor G6 / 16GB of RAM Storage options 128GB or 256GB 256GB, 512GB, 1TB 256GB, 512GB, 1TB 256GB, 512GB, 1TB Camera 50MP main sensor, 13MP ultra-wide, 10.8MP 5x telephoto, 10.5MP front camera 50MP main camera, 48MP ultra-wide, 48MP telephoto with 5x optical zoom, 42MP selfie camera 50MP main camera, 48MP ultra-wide, 48MP telephoto with 5x optical zoom, 42MP selfie camera 50MP main camera, 10.5MP ultra-wide camera, 10.8MP telephoto camera, 10MP front camera, 10MP inner camera Battery 4,840 mAh 4,707 mAh 5,000 mAh 4,658 mAh Software Android 17 Android 17 Android 17 Android 17 The Pixel 11 series won’t be a major departure from its predecessor, with Google instead focusing on subtle improvements and AI additions such as Gemini Intelligence. However, a patent filed by Google suggests the company is working on a removable battery for its smartphones, and we could see this feature make its way to the Pixel 11 Pro Fold. Given that nearly all smartphones today lack removable batteries, such a feature would be a welcome addition to future Pixel devices. That said, it may not arrive with this year’s lineup after all, and the final decision is yet to be made by Google. The Pixel 11 series could also face an uphill battle in the market. In the Android segment, Samsung is performing well with the Galaxy S26 series, while the Galaxy Z Fold 8 lineup is also expected to launch next month. On the other hand, Apple is preparing to unveil the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max in September alongside its first foldable iPhone.
