If your game is crashing disable all GPU overclocking overlays (eg msi afterburner, EVGA precision) and disable the origin in game option. It adds an overlay which can cause crashes at times, it's the "origin in game" option. I am speaking strictly of the onscreen display overlays. Those can cause crashes with certain system configurations - I have to disable the OSD for all assassin's creed games or I can't alt-tab without crashing. The game should work fine, it works for me.
It was dead to me a long time ago due to the same such errors. It's a shame...I really like BFBC2: Vietnam.
BF3 is about as fun as Call of Duty Modern Warfare (1/2/3/4) is. It's not much like BC2 or BF2; BC2 was more console feeling, BF2 was more skill-based than BF3. You need premium edition or else I'd say it isn't worth playing. As far as stability, it's pretty fluid and I had very little issues when I did play getting it to work correctly.
I said it was more enjoyable, I never once said they were similar in any way. Secondly, what does running a server have to do with anything? I've played the COD series since the first game, and the battlefield series since BF1942 so I can see how the two franchises are becoming more similar each game. The battlefield series started the console porting way later than COD. Bad Company was SUPPOSED to be their dedicated console battlefield title, but I guess they decided to milk Bad Company dry and leave it for dead. I remember doing alpha NDA testing for BC2 and being saddened it was going to be on PC.Well thats your opinion, now heres mine.
I ran a CoD4 server for years and BF3 is absolutely nothing like CoD, not even if you play it in TDM mode.

BF3 took an obvious turn towards console users over BF2.
Same here. I think BF3 is really great, especially when you get some good teams and squads, it can be awesome, but ultimately I had more fun in Bad Company 2. I might fire it up again and see if anyone is still playing.I actually prefer a lot of aspects of BC2 over BF3. BF3 is a great game, but I think I had more fun with BC2.
Pretty much this. There was a lot of potential for BF3, but they went and fucked it for the consoles. I'm hoping BF4 goes back in the right direction since the new consoles will be closer to PC power, but I doubt it.Some people just don't like others trashing BF3 and don't understand why they can't like it. I'm not one of those people.
I've played the battlefield series since 1942 (with all the mods to boot, DC and Galactic Conquest were AMAZING), Didn't like Vietnam, Spent 1000 Hours in BF2 and was an admin on on of the top (sub #6) servers in the world...FullContactWar. LOVED that game and couldn't get enough. Spent 250 hours in BC2 before I got sick of it and uninstalled...it just wasn't the same and missed jet fighting. BF3 was just DICE taking a huge dump on my face. WTF is this shit? Jets are tuned more towards keyboard/gamepad users? Wtf? Joysticks don't allow you to brake in a jet? WTF is that shit? I spent about 40 hours in game and ultimately uninstalled a week or so after BTK came out.
Battlefield isn't really Battlefield as it isn't true to it's name anymore like it was in the past. A battlefield of all the different units working towards obtaining an objective. Hell, throw an aircraft carrier and submarine in there, sure! BF3/BC2 were all about rank progression and weapon upgrade unlocks...that's it. COD does the same thing but with perks.
I'm 250ish hours into RO2 and am having a blast...even if I am an old school Battlefield "elitist".
I think I mostly enjoyed BC2 because of the premise it had for BF3....I thought it would be just like BF2 with better graphics and destructible buildings. Nope, even though DICE told us PC were the "main focus" of BF3 they ended up going back on their word and catering to the consoles once again.
GG Dice. I Miss you Battlefield <3
Ive played em all too. As I said I was just stating my opinion, dont get your feathers all ruffled. I mentioned the server to let people know I had invested some time and money into the CoD series wasnt just some BF fanboi. BTW, I also had a BF3 server for 6 months but there was just too much competition and I didnt have the time to put into really getting it going. (And no that doesnt have jack to do with anything either, just thought Id throw that in there.)I said it was more enjoyable, I never once said they were similar in any way.

BF3 took an obvious turn towards console users over BF2; more money in two releases of one product.

I played a fair bit about launch but drifted off, and the articles about how easy and prevalent cheating is have kept me from firing it up again since.I love BF3 and so far have over 760 hours into it and continue to play it almost daily.
At one point a few months after release the game was nearly overrun with hackers but they really have cut them down drastically. As with all PC games Im sure there are still cheaters out there but I havent seen any blatant hacks in a long time. They may still gather in the Metro meatgrinder servers but I havent played those kinds of games in ages. I mainly play Conquest on the larger maps or if Im short on time Ill jump into a hardcore TDM server for a quick fix.I played a fair bit about launch but drifted off, and the articles about how easy and prevalent cheating is have kept me from firing it up again since.
Are hacks still everywhere?

I really wish they would release Bad Company for free. I know they won't as it would kill BF3, but Vietnam was SUCH a good DLC. Too bad its around 10$.
