M18X BF3 beta

Well i thought it was gonna come out on the stroke of midnight. I want it now. When is it supposed to be out.

 

Doesn't seem to work

 

Has to be the official EA server. The non-EA servers have a different password.

 

Think thats bad mate, down here in Australia it dosn't come out untill 11pm-ish on the 29th, sick of the US thinking it is the starting time for the rest of the world....

???

Official release is still weeks away. Beta is out now in the link on this page.

 

My game keeps crashing. I click join server, i wait for the load. I hear the sound. I click on the game on the bottom, and it comes up shows the screen and crashes.

 

Just downloaded from the link installed and Origin is asking for a "Product code"....help?!

 

Ok so game runs at 40 -70 FPS at full settings, specs in sig @ Stock clocks. Using 11.9 Modded drivers, but going to install 11.10 Preview due to mad flickering.

However when under 60 FPS the game stutters a bit weirdly...

 

Crap I think I pre-ordered too late and that is why I am not getting a "product code"??? It looks like I got some extra "fluff" and no Beta access. I thought this was an open beta for anyone with the game. Ugh. I am miffed as that is the only reason I pre-ordered

 

It is an open BETA, I haven't ordered anything and I am playing it.

 

Man, I must be unlucky or something. I have the same specs as you for the most part and I get 17fps on full settings using 11.10 preview drivers. is going on!

 

Just tired to run the game on ultra settings, like everyone else, and I got 17fps with massive screen tearing. I am not pleased at all, especially since I am using 11.10 drivers.

 

you probably did not install the drivers correctly, since those drivers are optimized for BF3. id say uninstall all of your video drivers and re-install them.

awesome, thanks for the info. im sure that when you will install the 11.10, the stuttering will go away. Just make sure you uninstal your old drivers properly and then install the new ones

BTW +rep

 

for 6990m make sure you get the 11.10 drivers, do not instal any CAPS with them. then disable crossfire. the game runs smoother with crossfire disabled as of now. if the fps dips below 60 there is massive stuttering, especially in caspian map.

you can still max out the game with one 6990m at 30 fps average!

 

Can you point me to a guide on how to do this properly. I think it time I learn.

 

hey let me know what type of frames you are getting in the game with everything maxed, in SLI. Thanks in advanced!

 

I messed up my install of 11.10. I am trying to find a guide right now on how to properly install the drivers.

 

Ok, I am pretty honest in my posts on these forums. I have 6970s with the 11.10 previews and the game is playing at the exact same framerates as the ones posted online. I use fraps and the lowest FPS I get is outside with heavy smoke and its mid 40s. The game runs flawlessly on ULTRA everything enabled (custom). Some games the 6970s keep up with really well and this appears to be one of them; to my surprise as I can't hang on Crysis 2. This is at STOCK GPU settings. The only thing tweaked is my 2720 but that wouldn't account for the game running 40-90. I expected to dip into the 30s with these cards. So far so good.

Am I the ONLY one who thinks the graphics are "meh."?? I know single player will look MUCH better AND run better. However, I thought MP would look a tad more immersive...

Edit: Maybe I spoke too soon. I jumped into a different server with more people and the FPS dip dip into the 30s outside in heavy action. Still playable..but the screen flickering is unbearable. Won't be playing this beta too much. Single card solutions will struggle at max.

 

simply un-install the existing drivers and CAP profiles. if that does not work then un-install them manually from the device manager. then install the new ones.

 

Phyxion.net - Driver Sweeper

I use that to help with driver cleanup

 

I am getting pretty low fps on ultra with 580m's like 35 average, even worse when I overclock like 31.

 

Temps after 40 min of BF3)) 0.85v bios! FPS with everything totally maxed out: 45-70, i'd suggest the average of 55-60, which is accepatble. With the final game release and proper WHQL NVIDIA drivers i expect not less than 60fps on avg! The game is great, BTW!

 

really? what drivers are you using? are you sure you uninstalled/installed your drivers correctly?

 

ok guys ... lemme get this straight once more before I DL from the link on this thread ... i DO NOT need a key or anything ? just install and I can play ????

 

Hey 3Demons,

I just Pm'ed you.

Anyway

I am using Nvidia 285.38.

Average frame rates using FRAPS

100 FPS

Minimum 65
Max in game 130
Max in menus 200

Hope thats on par with others.

Cheers All

 

Yes install and play...God do you pay by the Mb or something...

 

no but if I am going to suspend my internet for a little over an hour in order to DL the 3.4GB ... I want to know its worth it

 

Getting some strange screen tearing while running this game. (Crossfire 6990m - AMD 11.10)
Averaging at about 40fps on Ultra settings.

Is the screen tearing normal for everyone else with 6990ms?

 

^^ I am also experiencing screen tearing and also micro-stuttering.

On another note - OC'd at 805/1005 netted me on average +6 fps min. So if I'm getting 35fps I'll be getting 41. Not too bad. Temps went up by 5C to 75C.

 

it is black'ish horizontal lines and they happen in xrossfire. disable crossfire for now it doesnt do much due to stuttering.

 

OK so i had it on power saver, so i changed that and it ran lik 65-73 underground. And ran like 55-62 above ground with overclock to 750/1500, but im starting to get throttling INGAME where fps drops to 7-9fps...

 

to I have to install/unzip this into a specific directory ?

 

I disabled crossfire and the issue went away but unfortunately I get average below 30fps.
Thanks for the suggestion though. I may just deal with the "horizontal lines" in crossfire.

 

run the setup and it will guide the way through origin.

 

GRRRRR ... ok .... downloaded from the link here .... and its a rar file, there is no setup file that I can see ...

I can't extract to Programfiles(x86)/Origin Games (guessing win rar doesn't ahve permission)

I have extracted it and then moced the BF3 folder there ...

Still get the error ...

Any thoughts ?

 

ok got winrar running as admin, extracting to Programfiles(x86)/Origin Games ....

lets see ...

 

Ok .... still getting the same error, Origin is not installed and is required to run the game .... ???? Newb help please

 

awesome, thanks alot for the info. +rep

BTW, are the 285.38 the newest drivers for Nvidia? and do you with the upcoming drivers will still have the BF3 profile on them?

 

You should install origin first and let it do all the installation and other handles, worked fine for me that way.

Plus you need a "Game manager" plugin on the firefoxy (which it would do for you and prompt you for that process), this does the actual match making and game calls from the browser.

 

As for me on Ultra settings, 2xMSAA and high post-processing AA enhancements.

minimum 35fps
Max: 117 fps

All on stock GFX clocks for my Signature rig.

 

Ohhhhh got it running ... sort of ... have to manually join servers ... quick join stuff says Firewall error
