I'd say it's not the ping it's your machine. 4GB is not enough for this game. As you say it starts fine in time it will fill your RAM. Try lower your settings and try again.

did you do the test selecting a location near to where the servers you connect to are?

how much did the ping jump around while the test was being performed?
Well I did the test and I guess it picks the one for you .

In Battlelog, set your region if you haven't. Always sort by lowest ping and play in those servers. I just about refuse to play in servers over 60 ping. It's not entirely accurate, but it's a start.

Ok I will check this as well and set it to 60 pings and see . I set my region to USA and I do not know how to set the ping filter but I can see green and yellow and looked for servers with the green and low ping and well going to try it out now .

I don't have any gun accessories unlocked yet. We always play conquest so I always find myself in a vehicle.

Oh maybe that's why everyone finds me using the M39 EMR. It's scoped, but the people I was shooting at were so freaking far away. Then again...

I was trying to snipe a sniper and got raped by a helicopter. Maybe I really, REALLY need a supressor. XD

I guess it's more dying for me until it gets unlocked.


Oh, and does anyone know what the gray, blue, or green ring around the player avatar means especially in the battle report?

Hi all ! I finally managed to get my copy of BF3 (yay!), I popped in the disk more than 24 hours ago, yet I still can't run the game ! Tell me again, why does the patch distribution has to be through Origin ? Specially the 3.9 gig one !

17 minutes left on my 14.9GB download/reinstall. I'm soon to be loading levels lightning fast off my new SSD.

Now that my download is nearly complete, I'm wishing I would have selected the option to keep the installer file, maybe it's not too late, I'll have to check.

One of the main reasons I got a hardcopy of the game. Have not had to re-download this massive game. Even the 3.9gb patch is a pain imo.

Does anyone know if there is an alternative way to download and install the 3.9GB patch ? Origin is acting a b*tch. I've downloaded like 12GB of the same patch over and over again, Origin always suddenly stops near the end and then does nothing. Restarting origin it starts the downloading process from the beginning ! It already took me 6+ hours in the the last try to download it
Thought I'de ask here in case someone has a quick solution before making a new thread.

Edit: Tried reinstalling both the game and the client. Also restarted my system and the client many times. didn't help :'(

Which game mode? Conquest, I never see much more than 20 kills before it's game over.

The description stated that they were doing it behind their Team leaders' back while they waited for them to finish their meetings with their' Iraqi counterparts. They never noticed either. ^_^

Im hopping on BF3 for a few rounds
