Yes, I have long initial spawns as well. When I first join a server it sits at the black screen for quite some time, long enough to make you wonder. And then when rounds start I am also last in line for any vehicles.

I ran for 5mins across the fucking map and there wasnt a bloody jeep in sight.

MY KINGDOM FOR A HORSE I said.....

I LIKE (like REALLY REALLY like) big maps. But there arent enough jeeps to carry everyone around the map and running the map from can take ages. then some cunt whose managed to mold his body into some rocks above the capture point takes pot shots at you, and the game textures are so BAD you cant see the motherfucker untill you die and see him on 'killcam'

I played 4 games of caspian then i went back to playing metro. then i RAGED because i was being quick scoped and no scoped by every twat and his dog with an SVD or a MOD11 or whatever that sniper rifle is called.

Needless to say i wasnt really in the mood for playing

Yes, the knifing animation is very slow but it's still automated. You can't undo it. It's neither fun to watch or fun to receive. They should speed that up. That's another thing you should post on battlelog.
A. What does filtered AA settings really mean? Is it FXAA/MLAA/SRAA?
B. Remove the knife animation or make it quicker.

I'm surprised you say it's accurate. Select something in the distance and fire 3 round bursts at it while hip firing with an LMG, then do that with any other weapon. It's impossible to correct an LMG in only a 3 round burst, so if you want to kill people at range you have to go full auto, which means firing for a while, people can usually escape.

No thanks. Call of Duty is garbage.

I'm allowed to be nervous, especially with oh, what, every single PC release this year not working correctly for sometimes months?

Seriously, put your e-dick away.

what in the hell are you talking about? in my personal experience, every game i've bought this year has worked well. i have had some issues with the bf3 beta, but nothing that can't be explained by the word: beta.

Yeah, I'm beginning to think something is drastically wrong with my rig. I minimized WoW for a second to post and now when I go back into it I'm getting 7 fps and if I stop moving it goes back to 60.

I'm not sure what's up with crossfire but I'm better off using one of these cards. AMD Is really pissing me off. Can't something just work properly? Is that too much to ask? I'm beyond frustrated. I don't even know where to start, but I know something is wrong. If I put BF3 on low I still get massive pop-ins and stuttering and slow downs and like 30 fps tops.


And now this thing with WoW? What the hell?

I can run Deus Ex HR at max settings with well over 60 fps, yet the games that I actually WANT to play are just like: nope.

Gotta love amd.


How do I cancel my pre-order?
I get well over 100 FPS...The new drivers and the new profile package works well.

How do I use a profile package? I installed the profile package under the new preview drivers but I'm not seeing them in CCC.

Edit: Crossfire must be giving me issues. When I minimize, everything flashes blue for a second, and ever since I put this second card in I've been having troubles.

Had the same issue, did some testing, 100% related to graphical settings.

No that is how many I have got all together over the years. The wolves have chased them all out of the units I hunt in.
Exactly why I'm hunting them instead. I ain't much on killing dogs until they screwed up my hunting area. Frickin fed really messed up that one.

No, but the lag is so bad it isn't even playable.

Try different servers. I've found a few with no lag and it rocks.

There are definitely non-laggy servers. Ones that do not rubberband. Of course I'm playing on a pretty fat pipe only a couple miles max from the various Chicago and "IL" servers almost exclusively but I too have run into it a couple times/places.

Also a glitch where no soldiers have tags or can be spotted, just the vehicles.

Here's a thread from [H] with more info re. AA in the engine including much specific info from DICE:

http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?p=1037827502

Oh and crossfire is looking good to just to specify. Tested with GPU-Z and second card high 90 percent load.

So I get on to play some metro rush and there are all these Caspian Border servers. Holy shit!!! pretty stoked with that as I thought it had already finished. What a friggin awesome stage, the aircraft are fun and the tanks are so much more realistic. I love how you can hit a tank with an rpg and disable its movement. Love the massive map and 64 player mode.

Is anyone running crossfire HD5870's? I am getting a lot less performance than I thought I would get, I was expecting everything on ultra and a constant 60fps. Was I being a little optimistic??

I have installed the preivew drivers 11.10 and still gets really laggy on ultra graphics. Damn it looks soooooo good though.
