About time :)
& another patch to follow next week too -
QuoteThe DICE team are hard at work supporting Battlefield 3. To date, we have implemented several server updates to improve stability and performance. Next week we are publishing a significant Battlefield 3 client update for the PC. Console patches take a bit longer due to the certification requirements for console content, but it will follow shortly after the PC update.
So what’s in the PC patch? You’ll see improved polish, stability, weapons balancing, squad control functionality, user interface enhancements, and several feature enhancements that address feedback the community has provided to date â€" plus we’re removing the so called “negative mouse acceleration†that some of you have experienced.
Regarding cheating and boosting, we continue to analyze data to identify and hold accountable (ban, wipe stats) players that cheat or boost. We’ve received questions about what to do when faced with unsportsmanlike conduct in Battlefield 3 â€" the best course of action is to click the warning sign next to their profile name in Battlelog, or head to the EA Help Desk and report your issue. These leads will enable us to follow up on the report.
We appreciate all the feedback. Keep it coming to help us with future improvements. Check back next week to confirm the patch launch date and the detailed fix list. Thanks for playing and sharing your feedback with us!
Edit - I'm not sure, but this might just be about the patch that just came out, so maybe just best to ignore me.
I'm liking the changes tbh.
Is it possible that the game now frezes up?
Yesterday i had no problems, now i can play for about 30 sec and then the game frezes up???????
Can i manuely download the patch?
i have restarted more then once.
NEED HELP PLEASE
same with me - a freeze. I tried updating the gfx drivers but to no evail...
Theres a new ati driver out if thats your brand, 11.11a
http://support.amd.com/us/kbarticles/Pages/Catalyst1111aperformance.aspx
this is not for my card... I installed the latest (11.11 in my case), and it did not help; also tried uninstalling and reinstalling PB - nothing. :-(
guys ea customer support can sometimes be helpfull try speaking to them via battle log -> feedback and support -> live chat
Quote* Reduced the physics impact of AA guns and Jet Cannons, players under attack from these weapons should no longer lose control.
Finally! No more tipping over from 1 shot.

Indeed that is nice :D
So far the only thing i dislike is the AA stingers nerf..
And keep wondering why they nerfed Scar and G3 but not G36C
I'm betting it is coming. Though I think they could just make them less accurate rather then nerfing the damage. All 3 of them are sniper rifle accurate atm, even if the G3 is supposed to be.
The stingers needed a nerf vs choppers actually. On certain maps you couldn't use the choppers at all if the other team had 1 or two ppl with stinger. Me and Kake used stingers a whole round while getting resupplied. The choppers couldn't go near the battle without getting shot down. On the other hand, you probably won't be able to do much to an aircraft with 1 person now. I'm just happy they fixed the physics of AA impact. No more suddenly being upside-down in the chopper from a couple of shots. We don't have regen on our server anymore though, so it should weigh up for the nerf.
I tested it with a bud last night, it now takes up to 4 stingers to take down a attack chopper... :/ guess they just overdid that damage decrease
Quote from: kregoron;338181I tested it with a bud last night, it now takes up to 4 stingers to take down a attack chopper... :/ guess they just overdid that damage decrease
Is that with or without regen though? I'm guessing you still can kill the pilot/gunner(s) with a single missile hit on critical areas? I also found out that you can kill the pilot though the glass on a chopper with a sniper rifle, but not on the Hummer... Also keep in mind that if the chopper uses fire extinguisher it will go back up to about 40-50% hp.
Thats with regen, so yeah its harder, but then again on most maps you can easily get to cover and rep, but yeah certain maps you just cant, and on those maps i guess the nerf is fine ;)
the answer I got is: "I am sorry for the inconvenience but we are aware of an issue with the latest patch are they working on getting it corrected". They do not know when.
I just updated everything but stil THE same problem.
The only thing i can do is wait for an other update. Grrrrrrrrr if i read this
So if anyone has other ideas?
Greatz king
Co-Op works most of the time, but since I cannot fly a Heli, I cannot pass level 2 :-(
Thats right, can't get past that one too.:boxing:
I am now talking to EA support, hope they can help.:g:
I will let you know if i know more.:byebye:
I had an chat with EA helpdesk.
Their advice : wait untill NeXT update!!!!
So we can't play until they fix it.
I hope they Will do that soon.
Greatz king
That's not nice! Play co-op then

Hi,
R9 has created a number of issues for server admins. They key ones so far have been these 4:
1) Servers disappearing from Battlelog. This is not directly related to R9 and was a bug introduced during EA maintenance on Tuesday morning by the Battlelog team. Battlelog is a front-end system that pulls and displays data from the Blaze database back-end. Apparently, the Battlelog team have now corrected this issue.
2) vars.idleTimeout: This one seems to be the source of much frustration and we and many other RSPs have brought this to the attention of DICE for review in R10. Either the timeout will be increased (most likely) or it'll be allowed to be removed.
3) vars.roundStartPlayerCount: In R9, this var has been hard-coded to a minimum of 4 for ranked game servers. Originally DICE wanted a minimum of 8 but reduced this to 4 after RSPs complained. This is again under review for R10 but I suspect 4 will remain the min.
4) Frozen in place pre-round: This is again under review and has been since beta. Hopefully this will be corrected soon but no eta just yet.
General issue
5) Server crashes: We and many other RSP's having been driving this is as the number one issue with BF3 since the retail launch. Although many bugs have been fixed, servers are still quite unstable and can crash between 1-4 times a day, on average. DICE are hard at work trying to resolve bugs and the server build should become increasingly stable as updates are released.
Found a cure: all on "LOW" and it plays; feel s abit like CSCZ, but at least I get to shoot you :-)
So now the Q: should I upgrade my ATI from 4790, or need I change my whole PC (based on E8400)?

Hi,
DICE have released Server Update R10 v2 with the following changes:
- vars.idleTimeout and vars.idleBanRounds commands are now controllable on ranked servers
- Crashfix when a player is reviving another player
R10 v2 can be installed by logging into the Game Panel and going to Game Servers > BF3 > Game Updates and R10 v2 is available there.
Please note: We will force all BF3 Game Servers to R10 v2 by mid afternoon Friday, 25th November.

A bit borderland that one, but a newer generation cpu and memory with a 67xx ati would be better then spending about the same amount on a top en gfx like 6990 ati or 580 nivida, thinking Intel i7 2500k, 8gb fast memory and a 6970 would be enough to run all on max with about 1680x1050 resolution ( have i7 2600k, 4gb memory (too little, runs on 95% usage) and 6970 2gb and everything on max gets me about 65-70 fps as a lowest average on 1680x1050)

Thats server update indeed.
BTW King did you tried the things i have posted m8?
I tried it all but nothing seems to work.
I just have to wait for THE NeXT update.
And hope that it then Will be better.
Thanks for THE help.
Greatz king
I Just tried this http://www.theblackduck.net/araven/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=83
Windows 7/Windows Vista
* In Windows 7/Vista go to Start menu. Go to Accessories. Locate the command prompt shortcut and hover mouse over it. Right Click on the shortcut then select Run as Administrator.
* In the command prompt type this exactly: bcdedit /set increaseuserva 2500. Then hit enter.
* Make sure you get a message back confirming the change was made. To verify the entry is there you can type just bcdedit, hit enter, and you should see the entry now listed.
* Then close the command prompt. You just told Vista to increase user virtual address (userva) space to 2500MB.
(http://www.theblackduck.net/araven/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=83)* Changes take effect on reboot but don't reboot yet.
I (http://www.theblackduck.net/araven/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=83)[FONT='Droid Sans', arial, serif]t seems to work for me [/FONT]
