uhhh, 360 controller?

[cadaveca]

yes, XBOX 360 controller works, right out of the box, thank god, or I'd not be able to play.

Yeah, some people like myself have physical disabilites that make use of a controller necessary. Jerk.


Some just prefer the ease of use. Plus, it's great for flying jets.

Just seen this looking through my tats, 55 in world, wwooo

You had a kill streak of 46?

Oh, anybody else notice how there is still a "Lock on" with the knife? A guy was running by me, and i just hit the knife on accident, and bam, i flew forward and stabby stabby.

Go to Dogtags in your profile/stats and there is a "Taken" button/tab. It's easy to miss. It will show you how many times taken too.

And yeah theres still a knife lock on but it doesn't seem so ridiculously sensitive as BC2. Once in that game I locked on and stabbed a guy through a metal crate and many times got kills that I should have been too far away from the person to have it land. And if they are prone in BF3 it doesn't seem to lock.

Edit your last post instead of double posting please.

[digibucc]

a repost for everyone's benefit:

ok i have a server up, it's us/chicago. i know we are not all in that area but it was the centermost location available in the us, and i wasn't going to pay for an overseas server (sorry )

TechPowerUp! ~ US/Chicago ~ Conquest64

I will make another few posts later on, to make sure everyone catches it. it will also be in my sig. i am asking as many people as are willing to load into this server sometime tonight. i want to get it a presence in the browser so non-TPUers will see it too.

and again, i plan to change the name when i get the ok. i am going through settings now. any suggestions for maps to be removed etc? anyone want to admin or get a reserved slot can pm me, i would ask for at least $5 for that though.

43, mortar strikes are great fun. Kill Streak started with 1x M249 kill then 42 Mortar kills, on Ceine River. I sat in B and the enemy team was spawning at the bridge on the river, they kept huddling in behind the van or trying to snipe farther back behind the van or from the bridge, so I just kept hammering them with Mortars. If I was their team I would have stopped spawning there, but they didn't so I just kept at it, was 4000 points ahead of 2nd place (for either team) that game, got 16,000 experience in that one match.

Probably would be higher on the list, but some hackers are up there now, like the ones DrPepper posted the screenshot of before, that AABumblebbe is top player in the world for like 4 or 5 different categories.

just a note: EA says reserved slots will be implemented soon, right now they are not available.

I use a 360 controller for a lot of my PC games.

Got a problem with that?

Thanks for the tip, i'll look into it once i get home. Yeah, i've gotten some crazy knife kills on BC2 before too, couple thru walls and doors.

You can enable a feature in BF3 that lets you see how well your system is performing in game. This is called Render.PerfOverlayVisible 1. You do this by hitting the "~" key to show the console command line and type it in. The 2 colors are Yellow for CPU and Green for GPU. Those lines represent the ms render rate. The lower the line the better the overall performance. The higher the line the more (in MS) it takes to render. The CPU and GPU are also represented numerically below the graph.

What I've gathered so far is that if the CPU ms render rate is higher then the GPU then you have a CPU bottleneck. That's because it take more time to render/process on the CPU. If the GPU render rate is higher then the CPU then you have a GPU bottleneck. As it takes longer on your GPU to render/process. The best case scenerio is to have both GPU and CPU to be as close to one another as possible.


Here are few of the commands:


Edit:
I just found out that when using CF/SLI you want the GPU to be higher then the CPU.

You forgot to explain how to enable the display.

Done, thanks

I want to also add that there maybe more to it then just a CPU or GPU bottleneck. As I don't get the impression that the ms render rate is that cut and dry.

For example, lets say you have a 5970 or a 6990 and the GPU line is a lot higher then the CPU. Yes that says that you have a GPU issue however, it maybe something more then just your GPU. The game maybe patched to better utilize the GPU. Or, you get a driver update that works better. So, in hindsight this really isn't cut and dry IMO.

I was playing a bit last night and noticed something a little odd. Origin said that MailMan was playing Battlefield 3.

Then I remembered that DADT was repealed earlier this year.

[erixx]

DADT, yeah baby

Mmmmmh.......

Can i ask how the patching system is?

With BF2 you could save the patch update files on your harddrive which mean that each time you went to reinstall the game, you didnt have to download the entire 3Gbs of 1.51) all over again.

BFBC2 was a totally different story. Each new install required the whole furking update patch to be downloaded before it would even let you start the game.....

One of these methods is clearly preferable to the other sonovabitch p.o.s method.

Which is BF3?

Right click the game in Origin. Tick "Update game". It will update, then you play.
