Has EA/Dice Fixed BF3 Yet?

Just curious before I buy it

Nah, you still need to unlock flares.

:P

fixed how? its fine

i mean with the random sign-offs from the browser, game crashing 10-15 minutes in the Multiplayer, pc activation for non-preorder copies, etc. And this is for the PC build.

Some people still have problems, some are good to go.

Just buy the game on origin and you won't have any issues. Make sure your drivers are the very latest and make sure that your punkbuster is updated to the latest and you'll be really to rock!

NOP...the game is miserable...pure garbage in this state...It is the most amazing game graphic wise...but the rest...garbage...pure garbage...

Let me put down a list with what is wrong with this game:

Lets start with the maps...there are only 2 or 3 maps playable(for Conquest.TDM...) the rest of the maps are so idiotic ,moronic,stupidlydesigned...on those maps it all come down to this "the teams are face to face and they start shooting at each others till the tickets ends...no alternative routes on those maps they dont give u a chance to do nothing...those maps are designed for each teams to go in the middle of the map and start to shoot blindly at each other...

Then there is the hit registration...which is puremiserablyimplemented...i shoot a guy 3 times in the head with the sniper rifle,he shoot me one time with the pistol..iam dead...

Other time i shoot with the tank direcly in to a guy...nothing happend...knifing is as garbage as in bad company 2...

Oh yeah...you can find urself dieing for no reason at all...all it says is "BAD LUCK"...i mean wtf?

Then there is the rubber band lag...wich is on every server...wich makes them practically unplayable...but if ur a sado-maso u can try to play on them...every kill is random in bf3 because of this rubber band lag...

And ofc there is the normal lag wich you will have if u play on servers that are not on ur continent...

Oh did i mentioned that u cannot start another session of the game right after u quited the last one?U need to close the client every time and then open it again...

oh btw...did i mentioned the randomdisconnects?This arent so frequent but still...

Yeah i almost forgot...the game is crashing to desktop once in a while...

Hmmm what else iam sure i forgot something...oh yeah...the respawn system..AN ABOMINATION...u respawn on top of ur enemy...literally...in his head...the game dosent care if the whole enemy team is on ur respawn point...it will respawn u there in the middle of them..again and again and again...pure garbage...

They've not fixed any issues I've seen yet. There's even ones from the alpha still in there.

Good I planned on getting it on origin. I guess the problems are with the Hard copy?

No it's not. There are a lot of bugs, a lot of server issues.

Give it a month, TC, and it should be fixed.

The drivers aren't the main culprit here. BF3 isn't optimized for CPUs with more than one core. A lot of people will get stuttering that has nothing to do with lag, or their video card since their FPS will be in the high 50s.

Servers don't have ANY tools that allow server admins to set up the systems that autokick people with high pings, causing the rest of us to lag. Tehran Highway is notorious for this. Destruction 2.0 doesn't help.

A few issues from the beta, even the ALPHA, are still present in game.

Just go to the technical issues forums on Battlelog and take a look for yourself. This game is a technical mess.

:P

I guess ill have to get skyrim

The only problem I had was with Punkbuster, but after updating it it has been fine.

Its working fine for me, and has been since launch. IxX3xil3d0n3XxI

Im having issues on Operation Guillotine. I can't progress because an event doesnt trigger at a point.

only bug i've seen is that tehran highway on conquest always makes any server poop the bed.

What issues? I have not experienced a single bug. The single player runs and plays fine with the latest nvidia drivers, I never get disconnected when I use the Battle-log, matches have been lag-free and overall the game is very smooth and in all aspects. Any problems are likely specific to the user, as otherwise everyone would have problems which is not the case at all. Brean24

I had a similar problem with Operation Swordbreaker where the guy I was supoosed to follow just stands in that hallway part. Had to keep restarting from last checkpoint. Also have some slight stuttering occasionally.

Ive played for 5 hours non stop in multiplayer on one server and i didnt get a crash.
There are some server issues I get on certain server and sometimes I cant enter a server the first time I try, but other then that its been a pretty good experience so far in the online.

Definatly some things that need ot be patched up but for me the game runs very well and loosk beautiful to.

The game is great when a get a good server, but I'm getting ridiculous amounts of lag in most of my matches. And according to most of the people in my games it's not just me. Otherwise I have absolutely no complaints.

A ton of server issues. Joining a server, getting the black screen even though game download manager says: "Go to game." I was disconnected from 4 games earlier. 50% of these servers are extremely laggy, stuttering, slideshows. The netcode needs a lot of work. When it's good, it's good. When it's bad, it's downright awful. I hate it when you're running around nice and smooth, stutter and lag free, but when you see the first enemy make a move on ya, it's a lag-fest.

It's like a Western showdown except you are lagging, but he is lag-free. Sometimes, I feel like people are hacking or something because every time I encounter an enemy player, I lag and stutter so he can get a free shot at me. It's frustrating and a waste of my time.. to work up your stats and to try and have fun and get it all taken away by consecutive lag games.

For some reason yesterday, it was running horribly (lag) and I was getting kicked from servers constantly (punkbuster). I updated PB and today, I'm not sure what they did, but there is hardly any lag in most of the games I've been in. So, all in all, I'm happy for the moment.Gooeykat

The game feels almost unplayable to me... Campaign will run fine then will randomly stutter for about a minute or two... occasionally it will crash, the same with multiplayer. Playing on a core 2 duo 2.66ghz gtx460 1gb 3gb ram..... :/lucfonzy

What's wrong with it? I'm loving it.

Well...i havnt got any problems, but i hate origin and the server menu in the browser and the fact that dsl doesnt cut it for 64 person mp :(

Stuttering stuttering stuttering. The stuttering is ridiculous. It's the worst I've ever seen. And it's definitely server-side, I've never heard of client-side stuttering pulling everyone back 3 feet where they were 2 seconds ago then blasting them forward again. Especially funny when you are in a tank or heli.

Aside from that which I guess will be fixed rather soon, some small-time bugs like helis getting stuck inside geodata on some maps and minor stuff like that.

I had that issue a couple of times in the game. I just reloaded the latest checkpoint and it worked just fine.

• The screen in-game flickers bright green sometimes (this issue has remained since the alpha.)
• Clicking "join server" returns the message "could not join server" with a little skull and crossbones down the side of the web browser
• Servers kicking you out and your browser displaying "you were disconnected from the login server"
• Messages telling you "server disconnected unexpectedly. do you have the latest version of the game?" when the latest version is installed
• Random lockups (game freezes)
• Random crashes to desktop with a typical "program has stopped working" message
• Can't use ANY controls in co-op (Esc for menu, alt+enter to window mode, any player controls etc)
• You can join a server when the map is being changed but even though the game loads, you will get kicked out and a simple disconnected from the server message will show
• When you deploy the mortar, you are shown on the map as if someone has spotted you. This also happens randomly when you simply fire it
• Battlelog not displaying pings
• Sometimes your controller's control mappings will just change themselves

I pre-ordered the game from amazon and it's due the 31th. Can't wait for it. I hope I don't get any problems, I want to go to multiplayer right away.

You will not be disappointed!

Well Im going to take the plung and start downloading it before I got to bed. Hopefully It will be fine but only time will tell. Ill update when I can later.

The only issues I've had is lag mainly. Ive put in a lot of hours into this already and maybe game crashed 3 times so far. Lag seems to happen mainly on Tehran Highway 64 players. Others are fine, if I connect to a server with a good connection and low ping. Even 64 players is fine with that one exception. When I go less than 64 than even Tehran runs just fine.

No problems here. Singleplayer/coop has tons of crazy bugs (nothing game breaking though). My friend and I had a bunch of enemies spawn right next to us during part of the coop mission.

Some unlocks still need tweaking (various air asset unlocks, mortars, ump buff, etc.), but DICE usually gets around to doing that within the first two months.
