Well then lucky me.:ohwell:

surely you must have had that glitch where the game keeps pulling you back to the same spot everytime you move away from it? That's a Server based issue

Launching the game to a random server and then changing back to the server list can sometimes fill in ping times

No that is lag issue, its called "rubber banding". many people get this on high ping servers.

really, i was told it was a fault in the server program that has a moderately high chance of occurring when you go over 48 players in one game

if it was a ping time issue it would also affect BC2 surely?

I might be wrong but you can see your connection in-game with the game HUD. It looks like a heart monitor signal that reads 100% or whatever % your connection is.

Yes, and it is a server based issue. When it has happened, I left the server and found a different server. Thing is, this rarely happens as I can actually see the pings of the server I want to connect to. I already have my favorites saved most of which show less than a 45 ping.

I got this in a 50+ player server and ping was less than 25ms.(at least when I joined it.) probably more like a server issue like u said.

Showing Ping in Battlelog

If you cannot view your ping in Battlelog, it's almost certainly an issue with any anti-virus/firewall software you have. I had the same problem in the Battlelog, as well as with the in-game BFBC2 server browser. I usually run my internet security on the "maximum" setting(I use Trend Micro Internet Security). Turning this down to "Medium" will allow me to see pings in both BFBC2 and the BF3 Battlelog. I'm not sure exactly what setting changes between those two configurations, but you may try playing around with your security software.

Frustrating how often people cannot just look around to find the solution.

No pings on BF3 Battlelog is strictly due to a firewall issue. Everytime I jumped on battlelog Zone Alarm asked if it was okay for the site to act as a server. I put two and two together and made it permanent now my pings show up steady.

Adjust your firewall/filter settings and you'll have no problems. Don't know how to do that? Look around or throw your computer away and buy an Xbox.

Wow great first post... wasnt that by the way, since BF updated the Battlelog website it worked fine... also while the problem persisted using chrome got around the issue...

but great first post :)

Is there a command to automatically deploy? It gets so frustrating having to keep pressing that stupid "deploy" button at the start of every game!

MORE RAM..Already have 16GBs!

I came up with a scheme last night, in a dream. Just finished setting it up!

I found the "level" folder which holds all the maps. I have copied the maps onto my RAM Disk and created a shortcut to access the maps straight from the RAM Disk instead. 2.8GB/sec with with zero latency... Lets see them load faster than me now:rockout: :)

I beg to differ, DICE makes wonderful games, and that's me a CoD fan talking. But I believe it's EA's influence that's screwing the game(s). I'ts always often the publisher's fault when a game sucks. Specially when we're talking big publishers.

Actually I dare to say that DICE never EVER made a game was which was free of major or noticeable bugs. I would feel ashamed if I released a product and half the consumers complained about it because at the day they simply released an unfinished product.

Anyway I usually fix this issue being signing out then signing in again, it works most of the time, and when you scroll down give it some time to load the ping then scroll down or it won't show up the ping if you scrolled too fast, at least that's what happens for me.

You shouldn't buy any OS then :) lol, did you ever seen a game without any bug? DICe and EA, always at the begining, there is some majors bugs (even I didn't get any since I play BF3), and after it will be okay. BF2 was unplayable before the first patch lol.


if it's your ISP that block some port, don't blame EA. Did I told someone to blame Microsoft when his ISP was blocking port 25?

What I would od, is to make sure my router doesn'T block anything, and Get the list of ports BF3 used. Then call your ISP to see if there is really one blocking.

BTW, Have you tried with other browser?
