@Juan_BF3 IRNV and flashlight fixes are in a later patch. Didn´t make it into this one. We found these changes to be more necessary than waiting

I don't like the irnv either, but if you don't use it, you're at a disadvantage versus everybody else who has it equipped.

Also I really hope they threw the color blind option on there. I've never tked so many people before.

maybe its different on the consoles because im not killed by people using it that much at all

No mention of IRNV (I don't find it as OP as most people, but general consensus is "fix it")
No mention of Tactical lights, even though they released screenshoots of it toned down.
AA is *more* effective vs infantry? Really, is that necessary?
No mention of the AN-94, which is universally considered a shiat gun.
No mention of fixing mouse bindings despite a huge request thread on the EA forums, unless "Fixed a problem regarding keybindings while playing" covers it.
No mention of the Auto-Shotties and Frag rounds (guess I'll keep abusing mine).

I'm pretty happy with the patch overall, and some of the things I was expecting are just pet peeves for me (the AN-94 for example).. but other things are issues for the majority of the playerbase that DICE has acknowledged needs work.. and yet they are not mentioned here.

ah I didnt notice the infantry damage thing. thats bs.

• Increased the damage of Helicopter Miniguns, AA guns, and Jet Cannons against infantry
• Increased the damage of Helicopter Miniguns against jeeps.
• Reduced the physics impact of AA guns and Jet Cannons, players under attack from these weapons should no longer lose control.

they destory infantry already. jet needed help for sure, I hated getting hit indicators on infantry and no kills

the physics change is huge. if you got up close to the AA it would literally knock you out of the sky

I dont know why the IRNV and tac light couldnt make it, I hope maybe we can get a patch first week of december with that and some other weapon tweaks hopefully....

and lets hope the key binding they mentioned covers your gripe.

They moved the Join button for joining squads so for awhile people was wondering wtf they couldn't join squads... second when ADMINs start their servers after the patch they must set it to rank or unranked - they cannot change it once it us up - also rank servers minimum start is 4 players to prevent stat padding... haven't been botted or anything... but I noticed some weapons improved - like the P90.... heehehehe

No server issues so far... except battlelog lost some of my favorites... other people reporting issues though I see on the forums...

Lost some of my favorites too... also, still getting the Battlelog crash when trying to join my first game of the day.

I'm hearing the Tac Light was nerfed during daytime (and according to realistic distances... blinding if you are a meter or two away, just another useless light source when further away and it's bright around you, like outdoors in the sun).
I haven't loaded up the game since the patch, so I cannot comment on the validity of that statement.
In the patch notes they had a lot of descriptive lines that seemed to lump together a bunch of "little" things without really describing exactly what even a single fix might have been for that group.

I have to say I was hoping to see some balancing from auto-shotties + Frag rounds... on the smaller maps, it's just absurd how these high-level players continue to play the most OP loadouts... like they're winning something.

Oh well. I'm sure I'll head back to the larger scale maps soon and care less about this.

Yup but i'm having connection issues on about every server,if battlefield doesn't crash connection to ea online fails or i attempt a connection 5 times before i get lucky.

I swear the beta was more stable i had hardly no connection issues and now finding a server is half the battle for battlecrasher 3.

Hopefully its just a server deal that can be fixed in short order i doubt Ea is gonna screw up their golden goose with a flop of a patch i see performance increases which don't mean jack if the servers aren't stable.

Anyone know if either of these two issues are fixed (c+p from another post I made)

I just want to know, does this patch fix the bug where your mouse/keys stop responding and if you hit ESC than hit ESC again it works (it is not a hardware problem). Also does it fix the bug where it would say you have xxx upgrades on a tank but when you first jump into one you don't (I always have thermal optics selected, but the first time I get into a tank during a new round I have smoke instead even though the kit says I have the optics, wtf)

I wont play the game again till at least the first one is fixed.

This patch fixed %90 of my issues, played for 2 hours and not a single kick from servers.

However, i find tanks/helis killing my like crazy more often.

Also, my FPS is a LOT more now. I have a GTX 580 1.5gig and noticed my mid fps is in the high 40s now vs dropping to 30s in certain scenarios.

F*ck this cocksuc*ing piece of sh*t game.

The patch besides minor performance increases has zero stability to offer...in fact for me its worst.

Another fu*king disconnect during a very excellent round with 8 out of 10 servers giving me connect issues i think the patch has done more damage then fixing...

It couldn't possibly be your hardware/user error because myself and countless others have no stability issues with bf3 whatsoever. The only problem I have had consistently is that the game crashes on the first load of the day.

Agreed. I have 50 hours in and have had essentially zero problems. Others have 100+ hours with zero problems. Could be on his end.

Not hardware related last night i played and i got much fewer connection errors in servers and since last night not a damn thing pc configuration wise has been changed.

I just went 4 for 4 with none of them letting me in...one game i just rocked with and it disconnects again and i get this son of a b*tching you were disconnected from ea online error on about 3 of the 4 servers.

I reset the modem i check my ping nothing else robbing memory or cpu...nothing that can relate to the issues...i notice other numerous problems since the patch too which i can happily list here for you ...

Maybe your ISP is bad. Or your router is the problem. I really don't think that it's battlog/bf3/ea causing your issues.

Really had no issues with beta and my ping and all else loads with no issues just this battlelog and me don't work.

What browser is everyone using and what version?

Chrome never gives me issues but it does have a habit of defaulting me over to tampa bay florida craigslist when i am in california leading me to believe perhaps my isp is giving me service from there?

Everything on my machine is up to date its a fresh install basically .

Going to try with internet explorer 9 and see if my problems persist...

Edit:haven't used ie in a long time but that defaults craigslist to tampa bay too...
