Sorry, hot head atm cause I couldn't get the game to work, I read it wrong
Anyway, it's working now, time to play
$5 says the game is gonna crash on the first run.

You hit 2 to turn it on, then get in range and it'll start locking on to your target. It has a longer reload time than your normal shell, so fire it and then change back to your normal shell for a quick follow up. It's like double tapping, except with tanks - get two shots off really fast.
If someone has the SOFLAM, or you have the 3rd seat unlocked in the tank with someone in it, they can pinpoint targets and you'll be able to lock on to them and fire accordingly.
It's pretty great.

Hmm browsing through Reddit, it seems that a hack group has released a "fix" for Legit customer to bypass Origin, so you can play Bf3 without ever launching Origin!, please EA dont ban people for bypassing your shitty program.

In this game, doesn't it treat the assault class's weapons differently than the engineer's weapons? I thought the assault class got assault rifles with longer range and more power while the engineers got carbines with shorter range/less power. Obviously, IRL no one is going to say an M4 is not an assault rifle, but in the game, I thought there was a distinction.

Just saw this posted on reddit:
"Razor1911 release Origin bypass for Battlefield 3 for legit customers, enabling you to play online without origin."
http://pastebin.com/ycF4YqcT
I'd love to use this but I'm afraid of EA banning me.

My brother was having the same issue so I went over uninstalled the shitty realtek audio drivers and reverted back to the default HD Audio Device Drivers and he has had no more crashes.
Edit: Also, try port forwarding if you're having connection issues to servers. (Disable windows firewall too see if that helps.)

Origin likes to crash on me all the time so I would love to too, but yeah also too afraid of banning.

When i first saw the link i was hoping for it to be some kind of external fix, but when i saw that its the actual BF3.exe that is being replaced, it stopped me on my tracks, a simple MD5 check by EA could tell them if you are not using the original exe, they will most probably start disabling this if not banning too.

i've been begging for over 5 years.

This happens to me every single time I try to first join a server. I'll "Close the Program" and go to join the server again and it works perfectly on the second attempt.
Does that not work for you Metal?
You gotta admit you're abit crazy for being level 40 already =Pdesu said:
All the problems whining is getting annoying though. Yes game crashes on load that's actually the only serious thing I've encountered and they already said that they know about it and it's being researched. You just rejoin another time and bam it works. I've also had 0 problems with Battlelog.
Sure the game has problems but is it completely UNPLAYABLE and GAME-BREAKING? Fuck no.
Metalmurphy said:
Ah. Looks like you're not the only Audigy X-Fi having problems with BF3.

Open your BIOS and disable the realtek sound card then, you dont need it and its probably causing you troubles.

The SCAR is technically a Battle rifle, suing 7.62NATO, even though it's in ENG class.commish said:
THe SKS is in RECON class, but is an assault rifle, it takes 4-5 hits at range to kill, rather than 2-3 body shots for most other recon rifles.
It's more on a case by case basis, than EVERY gun in a class is the same

Well it uses a weaker round, and the game keeps track of what round the gun uses.Deadly said:
In the Beta, SVD/MK11 were 2 body shots up close, 3 at range, while the SKS was at least an additional shot added.
Maybe they changed it, I dont have the full game yet.
I play each lunch for one hour and the game crashes about 3-4 times each time.

Oh and I downloaded the full 12Gig game in 8 minutes, so I doubt it has to do with my connection.

slopeslider said:
Yeah, they are nerfing the SCAR, and really it should be an assault weapon and not an engineer's weapon. But in general, if you compare the weapons of both classes, I think what I said holds mostly true. AK74M vs. 74u, M16 v M4, etc. I think I need to start using a longer-range weapon.

The SCAR is unique as it was designed to be both a carbine, and an assault rifle, the size of the weapon is no different between the 7.62 and 5.56 models either. It probably would have made more sense play wise that they would have given the Engineers the 5.56 model while leaving the 7.62 models for the assault class.
I actually playd a game last night that had relatively few issues (PS3).
Squad mics were actually working for the first time ever. Now if DICE could only fix the Quick Match issue(s) and make it so squads join on the same team.
I spent 10 minutes waiting to switch teams to join a friend. During those 10 minutes I got to listen to a teenage mouth-breather talk about camping the jets and not understanding aircraft controls are reversed. Did I mention he was a mouth-breather?
Sounded like Butt-Head was on the other side waiting for Beavis to join him...

Engineer class would be super-OP if they had a long range weapon. They don't have great long range for a reason.

The X-Fi is actually a really decent card (albeit with drivers that could use more frequent updating).
My HTPC that I use for most of my gaming nowadays just has HDMI going directly to the amp, but my other (desk-based) gaming machine and my brother's PC that I just built him both have Audigy X-Fi PCI-Express cards and both sound great.
Not that the drivers haven't caused audio issues in the past, but they seem to be relatively stable now and for an analog speaker connection they do sound a bit better than your standard Realteks.
As far as BF3 goes - there have been a couple small issues here and there - but this is definitely one of the smoothest launches for a multiplayer game like this I've ever seen. The only real issues I've been having is the game or AMD's drivers not doing CrossfireX properly.

It works eventually, usually on the second try, but not always.RbBrdMan said:

Face_palm why?
This is a great dedicated sound card and never had any problems with it.
Now it's my fault I don't want to use some shitty onboard sound card?
It's an X-Fi... not an Audigy 1/2/wtvArcipello said:

Meh, it was already set to 48kHz, so as expected my card is most likely not the problem, why would it be.
FuttBuck said:
Not sure what your issues are but more often than not, it's software. Specifically other software/services that you have running.(something that QA would never be able to properly test) Or your configuration. Which is way I always recommend you dedicate a system JUST to PC gaming and keep it as clean as possible if you're not all that tech savvy. Also, unless you know what you're doing don't just blindly follow tweak guides found on the net and stick to the official drivers.
Try this:
Disable Anti-Virus/ Firewall
Disable Windows Firewall
go to start -> run -> type "msconfig"
go to services tab -> click hide ms services -> click disable all
go to start up tab -> click disable all
apply and restart
see if that helps.
