Can't join the server, even if it isn't running a Karkland map at the time.

oh... how annoying.

TheLaughingMan · Jan 21, 2012

The person who runs the server has not maintained it and the server side is so outdated it will crash if you try to join a map.

To answer you question. If you are on a server that switch to a B2K map and you don't have the expansion, you are disconnected from the server.

Anyone up for play today? When?

I'll do co-op (if someone wants to get them done) whenever but not interested in much more than that right now.

give me about an hour and a half. I need to finish downloading The sopranos S03

FordGT90Concept · Jan 22, 2012

I'll be sitting in the TS server in the Co-Op 2 channel when you're ready.

MatTheCat · Jan 23, 2012

Does anyone know of a site that tracks statistics that could tell me what the most popular maps are?

Personally, I only ever play on B2K servers and B2K servers with a selection of the better (IMO) BF3 vanilla maps such as Kharg, Caspian, Firestorm.

The fact that I and probably many others finds a rehash of old BF2 maps to be far superior and far more enjoyable than more or less all of the knew maps must tell DICE something about thier market research findings and the misguided map design policies it has lead them to.....

......or maybe I am wrong and Metro or Damavand, only servers are jumping 24/7 ?!?

El Fiendo · Jan 23, 2012

So, just got BF3. First 3 games were rife with hackers. Nice.

Do I really need to wait 5 minutes for BF3 to reopen every time I try a different server? If so, with the naming BS screwing me over too, this isn't exactly my considered the best buy I've ever made.

No? BF3 shouldnt open up ever time you try a different server. Through Battlelog you just join a server it joins click the BF3 icon on your task bar below and your playing. Whats this naming BS?

I haven't really seen a hacker in about a week only sucky teams that don't fight for shit. It usually takes the longest when you first start a map then all others should load faster or at least it does with me.

Yea, but then I leave the server, it drops the game completely and goes back to battlelog. Then I have another 4-5 minute load time to join another server.

Eh, it was a Sunday night at about 10pm MST so it might have been just timing. The guys on the server said it was usually better watched by admins. Anyways, 3 different guys went 100+/0 on high ticket servers.

yeah thats what happens. Battlelog is the new game menu basically. You won't like it at first, but you will as you spend more time with it. I started liking it a lot after about a week. The load time depends on the server you join too ive noticed. Some servers load EXTREMELY fast. others not so much

Its just such a sloppy system. With my quad core and SSD it loads in 4-5 minutes? Does my loading the game reserve the server spot for me or do I have a chance of losing my spot for taking too long to load?

FordGT90Concept · Jan 23, 2012

BattleLog enters the queue and reserves the spot. You're already in the server (as far as the server is concerned) the moment BattleLog starts BF3. In other words, it doesn't matter how long it takes to load, you'll still get in so long as the server didn't quit or kick you for some other reason (banned username or something).

The amount of memory you have also makes a big difference in load times and ingame fps.

no its reserved. Wait till you ahve played all the maps. Loading is faster, like anything

El Fiendo · Jan 23, 2012

Cool, thanks for the info guys. Still a bit ridiculous. I'll just get off my butt and get my SR-2 going. Screw load times.

Welcome to the battlefield soldier! Just be prepared to buy 4 more gigs of RAM.

Got some time to play tonight, will be doing Squad rush again trying to get my assignments, if anyone wants to join me.

Uh, yeah, first game I think we can safely say 4GB is not enough.

Wrigleyvillain · Jan 23, 2012

Yep and BF2 was the first for which 1GB really wasn't so how fitting.

The problem is, it's not really the game that is using all the memory. It's more all the other "new" stuff that have to be open when playing the game that's the cause.

If the game was actually x64 then it might be interesting. Most I've seen is a little short of 2.25GB for the game itself.

I don't have an SSD and it takes about 30 seconds for a map to load.
