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:

post-34384-0-78313600-1321996422.png

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.

    • Microsoft releases PowerToys v0.100.1, fixes a bug that made remapped keys misbehave

      By Ivan Jenic · Posted

      Microsoft releases PowerToys v0.100.1, fixes a bug that made remapped keys misbehave by Ivan Jenic Microsoft just released PowerToys v0.100.1, a patch update that addresses several stability and behavior issues found in v0.100.0. The v0.100.0 patch was a significant update for PowerToys, as it introduced all sorts of new features and additions, such as a rebuilt Shortcut Guide, a Command Palette Extension Gallery, webcam overlay support in ZoomIt, and more. However, the v0.100.0 version also introduced some bugs and stability issues. And now, Microsoft is addressing these issues in the new patch. The most impactful fix in this release perhaps is in Keyboard Manager, where remapped modifier keys were being delivered as system-key events, causing unexpected behavior in apps. The clearest example of this was Alt-to-Backspace remaps, deleting whole words instead of a single character. So, if you thought there was an issue with your keyboard, Microsoft just confirmed that it was PowerToys. Beyond the Keyboard Manager fix, v0.100.1 also addresses several other issues. It fixes a bug with Power Display that was preventing monitors from waking from standby correctly. Additionally, the new update patches Quick Access crashes on launch, and resolves a Shortcut Guide crash that occurred when switching between sidebar sections. Here’s the full changelog: Color Picker Fixed a bug where the main Color Picker window could appear inside the zoomed-in picker view Command Palette Fixed Run history initialization in AOT builds Fixed a bug where the Performance Monitor dock item could show ??? after restart Fixed the Hibernate command using the Sleep icon Limited the "pin to dock" dialog to displays where the dock is enabled Keyboard Manager Fixed modifier keys remapped to non-modifier keys being delivered as system-key events, which caused unexpected behavior in apps such as Alt-to-Backspace deleting whole words Power Display Fixed a bug where selecting On in the monitor power-state control did not wake a monitor from standby Fixed built-in display detection and brightness control on dual-GPU laptops where the internal panel is driven by the discrete GPU PowerToys Run Fixed VS Code Workspaces discovery after VS Code moved recently opened workspace data to shared storage Quick Access Fixed Quick Access flyout crashes caused by unhandled XAML exceptions during launch or page navigation Shortcut Guide Fixed a crash when navigating between Shortcut Guide sidebar sections Fixed number-key rendering in shortcut manifests and added a Postman shortcut manifest Updated bundled shortcut manifests to use the literal number-key token so number keys render correctly across apps ZoomIt Fixed a race condition in audio initialization for ZoomIt video recording You can download PowerToys v0.100.1 from the official GitHub releases page.

    • Grand Theft Auto VI pricing revealed alongside Ultimate Edition and pre-loading details

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Grand Theft Auto VI pricing revealed alongside Ultimate Edition and pre-loading details by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Last week, Rockstar revealed Grand Theft Auto VI pre-orders will be starting soon, and just a day ahead of that, now the studio has announced the official pricing for the highly anticipated game. This has been a hotly debated topic among fans and industry veterans for a long time, considering the game is expected to be the biggest entertainment product launch ever. The confirmed pricing for the Grand Theft Auto VI standard edition is $79.99, which Rockstar says gives access to the "single-player experience set in the biggest, most immersive evolution of the series yet." This follows what most of our readers thought would happen with the pricing too. At the same time, a $99.99 Grand Theft Auto VI: Ultimate Edition has been confirmed as well, which lands with "an exclusive collection of premium vehicles, weapons, apparel, and action threaded across all aspects of Jason and Lucia’s story." Pre-ordering will also give fans extra bonuses, including a Vintage Vice City Pack of cosmetic items as well as a free month of GTA+. Head to the official website of the game here to check out all the cosmetic rewards the Ultimate Edition and pre-orders bring. Interestingly, the studio does not mention Grand Theft Auto VI multiplayer at all in today's announcement. Perhaps this will arrive later, following the campaign launch, or the studio is keeping that reveal for a later date. Digital pre-orders for Grand Theft Auto VI will begin on June 25, 2026, at midnight local time across regions for Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5. The title is slated to launch on November 19 on those same platforms. Pre-loading for Grand Theft Auto VI will kick off on November 12, giving players a week to get the game ready on their consoles. As for the physical edition, Take-Two has confirmed that this will be available without a disc, with the box only containing a download code inside. This will be purchasable starting November 12, giving players who take this route time to pre-load the title as well.
