    It sounds like latency problems though. Hardware hiccups rarely results in you bouncing around like that.

    Try playing some single player to see if it happens there as well? And try monitoring the network load. A buddy of mine is having the same kind of problems and its because his ISP messed something up. Every minuter or so he gets insane lag spikes upwards 800 ms and then its solid again for a minute or two.

    If your CPU is OCd that might be the cause.

    You could try
    http://forum.notebookreview.com/asus-gaming-notebook-forum/568525-setfsb-game-timing-problem-g60jx-2.html#post7364805

    which solved my performance problems? possibly?
    You can tell if something is up with just the cpu if changing the visual settings makes little difference to the framerate.

    So I'm wondering if anyone can help me out, having some trouble running Battlefield 3 smoothly.

    I have a Phenom X4 9950 quad-core and ATI HD6870 with 4 Gigs of ram, which should be enough to run on average-high settings. In game though I'll frequently experience FPS drops / laggy behaviour (not from high ping) and sometimes 0.5 - 1 second freezes. BF3 is the only game that does this. This happens both when there's a lot of action on screen (I'm willing to let this slide) or nothing is going on at all.

    It hurts especially when sniping. Bringing up the scope to zoom in on something comes with noticeable lag

    Or rushing to get in the tank before the enemy does, I'll press E to get in...nothing happens...press E again and suddenly I see myself inside the tank for a split second and then jump out again. Sometimes this repeats a few times while Yakety Sax plays.

    For reference, my in game video settings are pretty much all on low/medium. Resolution is the lowest I can set it on. Doesn't make much of an impact on the overall smoothness, runs about the same as the higher settings when there's no stutter.

    If you have not already, do a clean reinstall of your video drivers. I don't know if AMD cards gives you all the same options, but optimizing your settings via the AMD profiles might help. For my 560ti I set the render ahead limit to 1, changed to prefer maximum performance and optimized for single display. It helps some.

    Thanks everyone for the advice, I'm about to reinstall my video drivers and check bios CPU settings. Really hopes this helps!

    What the shit. why is this way down on the bottom of the second page? unacceptable. I'll be getting on in just a lil while installing some new beta nvidia drivers now.

    It could be your harddrive, if the drive is having issues that would be an early sign. It's a pretty texture heavy game, maybe check to see if the HDD light is solid glowing during the freezes.

    Altered the 360 Dome to include a touch of Rush and TDM. I even included both CQ and Rush of my much hated Metro.

    I would like all 360 dudebros to give input on what exactly they would like to see the map list comprised of. Specific game types and on what maps and even in what order. Right now it's 2 maps of CQ, one rush than 2 CQ one Rush and than TDM. Than repeat.

    I am a big CQ fan but do not really have any map preferences. The only game type I would really rather not play is squad deathmatch. Outside of that mixing it up with some TDM and Rush is fine. Also not a huge fan of CQA but I will play without complaint.

    I figure it's a good idea to rotate between small and large maps. I have it set to start with Metro CQ. Figure it's the only way to draw in randoms when we want to fill the server.

    And excellent knife, .44 magnum, repair torch, defib and EOD bot shenannigans last night.

    Add me, jerk.

    Also it was mentioned a while back, but it appears that somewhere along the last couple of ATi driver releases if you didn't do a full uninstall/reinstall of the drivers (like my lazy ass didn't), you might experience some goofy performance issues. It's just as well, I was getting ready for my annual reformat and reinstall of windows anyhow. But the lesson stays the same: take the time, uninstall drivers, reboot, reinstall drivers, reboot...

    Ill be on later to look at the map list. Some tdm maps are god awful. It should probably be on caspian for that. That one has sensible spawns and few super campy areas.

    They are doing work on the drain system for my apartments. Idiots cut the cable line today. I am currently stuck with 2 bars of 3g with my phone taped up to the window, tethered to my computer. This is what was life like back before Netflix and online FPSs. It's cold, dark and scary.

    I suppose if there's one nice thing about being shunted constantly to the teams that have half the manpower of the other it's that every knife shoved through an enemy trachea is that much sweeter.

    I got pretty pissed at the invulnerability of air support, earlier. But I might play some more in a bit.

    Are you mechanical wolf? If so, we kept on tossing more people onto your team. Kept quitting though or something.

    I made a new map list. Trimmed off the stuff that people seem to hate playing on (shithead pubs). And added a bit more gametype variety. Still have the old map list. Gonna try out the new one tomorrow after work.

    It's just a secondary playlist. Got too bored of fucking with it so it's the rotation for now. But i'll make a new and better one without too many of the maps people hate before we get going tomorrow. What's another decent TDM map? And what about rush. Need two solid rush maps and two solid TDM maps to mix in with the CQ maps.

    Caspian and Firestorm are pretty decent for TDM.

  • MulletudeMulletude Registered User regular
    Running caspian on Minks suggestion. Firestorm may make number two. And I have Tehran Highway and Metro as the two Rush maps. I like Tehran. But I don't play enough Rush to know of any others that are fun.
