I'm not saying this to be snarky-but isn't this what the beta was for? Stress testing the servers?

Why are the load times so bad. Brutally long load times that end with the game crashing half the time.

GAF server is fucking amazing fun. Apologies to anyone who happened to be in my heli though (I was RazzamatazUK), BF2 skills don't really carry over, it turns out.

Anybody know if it's possible to have Origin move the installation of a single game to another HD?
This is the shitty thing about having these programs like Steam and Origin just install the games wherever the f they feel like.
I want to have BF3 installed on my SSD but not all my other games from EA, but I never had a choice in the matter while it was downloading, and now the loading times are gigantic and frustrating.

Loading times seem to be bugged, I've been suffering some pretty long ones, but a friend who has a nearly identical computer has times closer to the beta. There's definitely something fishy going on.

Get kicked after 3 minutes of playing the mp.
Each and every time. Almost like the server auto kicks me.

I'm beginning to become very frustrated with this game, now when I try to play, it tells me I have to download an "update" when I click on update however it just points me to the store to buy BF3, which I already fucking own.
EA is fucking up the launch of this game big time
EDIT: FIXED looks like I needed to select the reinstall button to install the update :/ wonder how many other people this happened to....

Ok, can someone help me out here. Finally started the campaign mode. Wired 360 controller works fine but how the hell do I do the 1st QTE encounter? I started mashing the controller and nothing would work. I then figured what the hell, I'll just stick to k&m and after getting past the 1st QTE and started moving around again, I noticed the mouse is all jittery and crap. Its basically uncontrollable T_T
EDIT:
I think I fixed the problem by unplugging the 360 controller.

Same here, my friend has a slightly "worst" computer than me and we're using the exact same settings and resolution, not only is he loading faster but he's also getting around 5-10 frames more than me.HotHamWater said:
He's got a:
AMD Phenom II X6 1090T @3.8Ghz
6GB RAM
AMD HD 6870 @stock
Me:
2500k @stock
4GB RAM
AMD HD 6950 @stock
What the hell, it shouldn't be like that, I want the same/better performance that he's getting

Very true! If you install the game first it will keep asking to install the hd textures and it wont install them. The game looks alot better with the hd texture :0
I cant believe people said the game looks like poo, I think it looks ALOT better then bc2 on the 360.
Wish the servers were working

Anyone run into any sp glitches? I can no longer move my tank in the tank mission for whatever reason.

It probably needs admin rights to probe your files. Check your security settings and make sure you install to your C drive.gibon3z said:

Use symbolic links.ColonialRaptor said:
Basically, you copy your BF3 folder to the SSD, delete it from the Origin folder, then in cmd you type
Code:
mklink /d "H:\Origin\Games\Battlefield 3" "C:\Games\Battlefield 3"and it'll create a symbolic link to the SSD from your other drive that Origin is on. Bam, BF3 SSD goodness.

Alan Kertz (demize99) isn't a DICE CM. In fact it even tells you that on his twitter page:FINALBOSS said:
"Core Gameplay Designer on Battlefield 3. Personal Tweets, Random Musings, All Thoughts my Own"
Not sure why people get so butthurt about his snide comments pretty much all of his tweets are snide, even the ones to his friends
The good news is that he's currently playing the PS3 version himself so if there are issues I'm sure he'll see them soon enough.

I tried doing a repair install. It downloaded an update for 40 megs and now its stuck doing this.
The loading times are killing me. By the time I get into the action, the match is already a quarter of the way through. Not only that, I am getting stuttering issues during combat. Nothing like seeing two enemies that aren't looking at you, prepare to fire your gun and then freeze for 10 seconds, only to come back and see your dead body on the ground.
Coming from the beta, where I'd always have free access to the jets on Caspian Border because my load times were that much faster than everyone elses. I have to wonder what is causing this issue.

LOL, WHAT EA?
You're telling me I can't use my EA/Origin account that you want me to use for Battlelog?

Happened to me. I had to delete the entire BF3 folder, refresh my games in Origin and redownload.
Life's a bitch....but it worked.

Also, people getting crashes, just for shits, try lowering settings to all medium, no AA and see if it still crashes.
PS3:
Squad system seems broken at the moment
Server list only showing full servers...need more servers??
Can't hear anyone?
Said I was in squad with buddy, but said he was 'in the menus'..the it launched us into a game with one slot left, so I just stayed in lobby. Couldn't hear him at any point.
Controls feel like killzone but twitchy...not really a good thing. If they want realistic recoil, they have to tone down the crazy acceleration on the stick. (maybe with kb/m its easy to aim?)
but it looks pretty.
Single player lost me at the second mission, probably because the controls are jumpy as hell.
I trust they will fix this, as I have to, I traded in most of my other games for this, including BFBC2 (I miss it.) Do devs really build new systems for chat/squad/controls from scratch even when they have something that works 100%.
OK...rant over, day one blues..just bummed, was gonna play for a few hours, 30 minutes was all I could stomach. I'll be on the battlefield soon enough.

Same here. Support told me to X out of it. I did. Now I am in an endless loop of installing, completing the install, and being prompted to install again.
This was one of the "solutions" I was given by tech support to get around the "Your account is not allowed to log in" problem.
What a joke. I realize the conditions of the servers are not ideal, but I would like to see the not ideal servers for myself for 5 seconds with the game I paid $60 for.

Wow this game should have been delayed. It's obviously not done.

Put disc one in, DO NOT INSTALL IT, and then boot to the main menu. You will get a prompt asking to install it. Do so, and THEN install the disc itself.Blackvette94 said:
If you don't, the game will not properly install the textures, even if it completes the installing prompt.

The secret is not to initialize the patching process through Origin.
A lot of people are throwing it out there for general troubleshooting, but it's busted. If you're going to try to manually update through Origin or repair install, save yourself the time and just redownload or wait for the problem to iron itself out.
