Issues since the new patch

Has anyone had issues since the new patch? My Game Stutters badly which makes peoples voices on teamspeak sound like robots.

It crashes in a new and exciting way it didn't before. But on the other hand I haven't got the black screen crash or dissapearing window crash. It now consistantly locks up, good old freeze frame style and loops the last second of sound. After a few minutes W7 catches on and asks nicely if you want to kill it.

At least they are fixing 2 problems and only creating 1 new, not the other way around.

Since the patch I haven't had the "BF3 has stopped responding" message or mysterious quits to desktop when joining. It used to take three or four attempts to connect to a server because of that.
Not had anything that affects TS3, but then they are different programs, so they shouldn't affect each other.

I just remembered, I had the stuttering on TS also, but I fixed it by setting BF and TS to equal CPU resource priority. For some reason, if BF has higher priority it hogs all the CPU power. Making them the same priority did not affect the performance of the game, but removed the stuttering on TS.

No problems so far..

Updating my driver for AMD Today see if it makes a difference

Yeah no issues with the most recent patch for me. Didn't Vanguish have a similar problem last night? can't remember.

Dont know but im getting fed up with the problems in bf3

NVIDIA beta drivers, forced constant voltage with MSI Afterburner and forced 100% fan speed seems to increse stability.

I do agree it is really annoying that the game made release in it's current form. I would call it late beta, after the new patch. Stupid console kiddies ruining a PC game.

I have a problem as soon as a jump out of a tank etc. i keep running circle's and can't stop it.....

i tried removing all keybindings of the joystick (don't have one) but that didn't work aswell...

contacted origin now and lets see what they have to say..

jumping fences seems to be harder, other than that I must have a very strange game code or hardware build, so far I've crashed 1time for 20hours of play on average.

TheDvEight · December 09, 2011, 06:54:03 PM

game plays fine since i updated drivers so thats good

Vargen · December 10, 2011, 12:14:53 AM

I crash once every 2 hours or so now on average. It is much better, but still not there yet.

I had a problem involving TS with my ingame sound TE! Whenever anyone on TS would speak my ingame volume went to zero.... But that got solved by unchecking an option in TS
There was a guildie (don't remember who..... sorry) who was kind enough to tell me what to do!

Careful with that constant voltage switch, it only forces 3d voltage in 2d environments, might shorten the lifespan of your cardif you leave it on when not gaming, probably negligible but worth a mention
