EA refuses to support this error. Their only offer for support was to disable 2 of my cpu cores.

Unreal.

I am returning the game to amazon for a refund. EA really does completely suck.

Wait till the majority of engineers get the G36C and the A-91. I thought overall the G36C was much better than the SCAR. I havent got around to using the A-91 yet, but I notice more and more people using it...err, killing me with it.

It could have been lag...I have clips when I run around a corner and shotgun people in head point blank before they get a shot off and then they somehow one shot me with an AR or sub. And they show no health loss in the kill cam. While the gunplay is not quite as reliable as it should be, 90-95% of the time it seems right. Its just hard to trust what you see because of the lag.
-g36,a91,scar
-leaving all those behind and working on the M4A1 and AKS-74u but you have to gets 2 x the kills , and I die alot trying to build the kills back up to get the ir scope.
- loved the scar\ir but found the small mag = death against payers with lots of powerful upgraded weapons.
-some people have mention rpg's used too much er that's all engineers have to use against 200 round lmg's we only get pea shooters and the odd tank with a 120mm shell..

it may not be EA/DICE's issue, have you contacted NVIDIA yet?

That's pretty much the way it is IRL.

The A-10 is overpowered in real life.

well IRL its not much of a dogfighter :awe:

but yeah its a BAMFIC.

Anyone else getting this error?



I did google it. Triked to run it in "compatability mode". No luck.

Been running fine since launch on 285.62 driver.

Only thing I noticed today is that Origin had forgotten my login details and the PING function was actually workikng on the server list (first time ever). Then this error everytime it goes into 3D render mode.
run on low for testing
-repair game
-disable desktop comp. in icon prop[under compatibly tab]. TASK bar will go solid after clicking on game icon if you did it correctly. NOT compatibility mode- unknown and not required to do.
-update dx

-clean reload 285.62
-
- but millions do not get that error so ?not the game.

I posted this to the other thread, Advocate, but I think what jlarsson says above could be related to the same issue. VRAM.

Jlarsson - try running eyefinity at lower quality levels, perhaps high with medium textures, no deferred AA. See if it works.

I have been, most at settings were at medium. No deferred AA.

Right now, the only way to for me to get the game to load, and not have any micro-stuttering or texture flickering is to run it single-screen and Crossfire disabled.

I can't wait to get the heavy barrel and IR for the g36 , it's a beast for sure.
The fore grip is a must have for it to be really useful.

I still cannot believe EA tech support wanted me to disable all virus protection, internet, firewall, and 2 of my 4 CPU cores. What a bunch of effing retards...

I knew it was BF3 and not anything else because I could play other 3D games with no issues. I played a game of SCII while I waited for tech support. No issues at all.

Anyway, after reinstalling everything but windows to no avail, I figured it out when I reinstalled my gfx driver. It detected my TV, so the game was trying to open w/ extended desktop, I guess. In any case, disabling the TV as a 2nd monitor fixed it.

Really disappoints me that EA tech support sucks so bad tho. The guy had literally never heard of my cpu or gpu. WTF?

What would disabling 2 cores do? Your running the same CPU I am and mine works great.

I just got that same error. But all the 280x drivers have been giving me terrible problems. I've got bluescreen, driver recovery errors, random monitor shutting off, etc.

I'm sure in the next major update all will be better, hopefully. I mean its not like nvidia had months to prepare for bf3 release, so might be something else entirely.

As for that error..i just reset computer (actually had to because drive Bluescreen me) and it started up fine.

I've NEVER had as much problems with nvidia drivers all all the years i've user nvidia cards as i have with the last 3 releases. So i'm sure nvidia is on top of the problem.

Apparently Nvidia has fixed a major BF3 problem with current 280x series, jus thave to wait a few weeks for it.

I want to go SLI GTX 580, but holding off on 2nd card till i'm &#37;100 sure graphics/gameplay issues get resolved. I'm predicting end of month before we get results.

If anyone's having problems with your character apparently moving to the left without you doing anything, it may be that you have a joystick plugged in. Everytime I get out of a chopper after flying with my controller, my character moves left on its own until I move the sticks on the controller (which controls the character too). Somehow that resets it so I can use the mouse again.

I guess another option is to clear out all the controller settings for the "on foot" controls. Haven't tried that yet.

Also, in terms of game controllers, I noticed that the game will not recognize them unless you have one plugged in before you start up. If I plug it in during the game, it won't register.

how do i play on atot servers?
Just favorite them and join. I think the platoon is full now, so we can either start AT2 or just have people Fan the platoon instead of joining. But you don't need any affiliation to play on the servers.

There's a mumble server for the Tugboat but most of the voice chatting seems to be through the friends list/built-in party function. So you should probably friend some people from the platoon roster.

How do you chat through the battlelog site? I see the icons for turning on and off the mic and speakers but I can't find key settings for what I have to push to talk.

Also, anyone else not getting surround sound? I have my 5.1 hooked to my mobo and I'm not getting anything in the rear speakers. The drivers show the rears working just fine and they work in other games, including BC2. Any ideas?

Actually, I have it set to voice-activation. Go to the Com Center settings in the bottom corner to change it.

You can chat through this only with other people in your party. So join or start a party, then Join voice (in the Party subwindow). You can enter a party someone in your friends list is in, or invite someone from your friends list.

Ok, there are a few steps (it's not as obvious as it should be):

(1) First create a party or join a party.
(2) Open Com center.
(3) Click on the word "Settings" in blue on the lower right corner of the Com center.
(4) Set "Push-to-Talk" with the button you would like. I suggest not using the default "left shift" since that's obviously the default run key in game.
(5) Make sure that both the mic icon is not red and the speaker icon is not red. If either is red, it's muted.
(6) Of course, make sure your mic is working.

Engineers SCAR-H, G36C, or UMP?

Not lvl 16 yet but so I don't have UMP yet but it's my next unlock. Just unlocked G36, I like the very low recoil compared to the SCAR but very hard to get used to the iron sites opposed to thermal or red dot.

Haven't unlocked the G36 yet, but I absolutely adored it in BC2. It was such an effective gun. I'm hoping it's similar in BF3.
