Welp, I can tell the game is fun, but it's unfortunately unplayable for me. I perpetually get both of these when doing multiplayer (though co-op and the campaign worked fine):
edit: and right as I post that, friend links me to new drivers that will supposedly fix the problem. Thanks ExAm.
Make sure to test Caspian again, that seemed to be the worst offender d:
The error pattern in the second video is always a video memory issue. As in it's going or has gone TU. Could be just massive overheating and the chips failing from that, but 9 out of 10 it means RMA time.

Those were known issues with the 560s. It was somehow related to the way the shaders were being calculated. I was getting the same thing before I updated my drivers. It does not really mean the card is going out. BF3 was the only game that was happening in.
If anyone here is on the fence about this game, I just got a refund from EA through chat support. Painless and quick and they gave me a 20% off code for the Origin store.
Impressive game, but pretty buggy and not for me. If you want to try it out, just be aware that you can get your monies back pretty much hassle-free.
Wait.. engineers can repair the helis while under fire? That plain sucks, given that all the anti-air weapons (Stingers, RPGs) already suck like hell against anything flying.
I simply can't see the rationale for it... but I guess that it belongs in the same region of logic as silenced MGs (another WTF) and MAV roadkills...
You should see the chopper with TWO engineers repairing at the same time. It becomes an invincible unless the pilot is shot.
logged on in the hope of having a great evening of shot-man'ing but noooooo; apparently today is another 'you suck and will die no matter where you go or what you do. Die forever!' day.

Yeah, what That_Guy said. Every other game works flawlessly, and my card never went above 60 degrees.

Good games yesterday.

Didn't carbonfire buy a 590 or something? How is it? I am looking to run things at 5120x2880 and think i would need one of those.

A 590 will probably do it, although dual 580s or, since you appear to be made of money anyways, dual 590s will be safe.
yeah, I don't want to spend $texas, I was hoping someone would tell me they had successwight a cheaper solution...
sli 2gb 560 ti's or crossfire 6950's might work at that resolution and high settings just fine, but thats still $500 or so. it's really hard to find benchmarks running at such an extreme resolution, most just test at 1920x1080. but those benchmarks show sli or crossfire builds working about the same as a 590 for $100-200 cheaper.
5120x2800 is 7x the pixels as a 1920x1080 resoltuon, so you might just need a solution with 7-8gb of video ram just to be able to store it all in the buffer.

You don't want to spend $texas but you want to run things at 5120x2880? That's like saying you don't want to spend much time reading but you'd like to make it through everything Tolstoy ever wrote.

Oh and we need to get the server going. I was thinking we could get a little 32 player rush/conquest action going on. I have prepared a map list for the Chamber of Understanding. Join me in out usual vent channel.
So does anyone have any tips or places they can point me to on how to suck less? I have been levelling up each class once just to see how each plays and the Recon seems stupidly harder to level then the others. Especially since the basic sniper rifle seems ridiculous weak. 3 or 4 body shots for a kill is just not getting the job done.

Honestly I much prefer the bolt actions for sniping, so what I would do is level engineer until I got to level 6 or 7 and then used PDWs until I unlocked the sv98. Use that beastly thing for actual kills.
CorriganX on Steam and just about everywhere else.

Yeah, Recon is ridiculously hard to level for everyone. It's fucking stupid that Dice took away pretty much everything good about Recon and gave it to Support, which already had lots of good shit.

Personally, I wouldn't put too much stock into trying to snipe. Go iron sights on the sniper rifles...Or use the PP-2000 and play very aggressive. Set your tugs at areas with alot of traffic and put your radio beacon at loations that help your team cap points/defend or attack MCOMS.
General advice? Since you have tried all the classes, it may be time to figure out which ones you actually have fun playing with and than just go in that direction. I love playing Engineer. Almost to service star 5. Next would be Assault/medic depending on how vehicle heavy a map is. Play aggressive. Cap points like crazy. Spot everything you see. But that's my personal playstyle and it seems to net me MVP more often than not.
Just added the PA BF3 servers to my favorites. I had a lot of fun getting destroyed by you guys in Bad Company 2 and can't wait to get destroyed in BF3.

Still don't really understand this game's weapon mechanics particularly.
Still rocking face as a tank engy and recon.
There are no "best" guns, it's all about finding the guns that suit your playstyle and sticking with them. I'm terrible with sniper rifles and LMGs but aces with SMGs and assault rifles. When all else fails out comes the shotgun.

I love this part about the game. It's all about the feel of the gun for each person. M4A1 is the sweetest gun on the planet imo

Everyone always raves about the AEK and F2000, but I fucking adore the M16. Nothing like a trusty AR to get you there and back.

I shoot mans with whatever the latest unlocked gun is, don't even know the names of most of the vehicles,
Give squad orders, throw down med kit, revive = MVP/ Wooo!

at that resolution you would also need 2gb cards just to be safe.

That was Kakos aka Lambda that got the 590. He has a better job than any of us and spends all his money on his computer.
Hey, that's not fair. I spend some of it on food.

It's actually negatively affected my play of other classes. All flaring the trigger when the enemy is only 10 meters away.
