    yup, neer enough all of us.
    strange that you are getting it in single player though as ive never had that. but almost every game in multiplayer i do.
    when it happens can you still move for about 5 seconds but the rest of the players are running on the spot and the sound loops.

    will add more at work at mo

    well i only get it with BF3, other multiplayer games work fine. It mostly happens after alt+tabbing and then returning to the game.

    had an emergency so had to rush off.

    same here. all other games run flawlessly without any crashes.
    its a known problem with B3 and as of yet there doesnt seem to be a driver that works for everyone. some say they have no problem but like me i can play one full game and then have a crash in every game after. temps are fine between 70-80c

    it could well be partly to do with what servers we also use. i mainly play on hairy haggis uk server with a decent ping. when it crashes for me i seem to be still moving for a few seconds while every other player is running on the spot and the sound loops. it then closes to desktop and red box saying lost connection.

    no problem.

    Does this affect all BF3 players, regardless of the gpu? Because I just saw on the Battlelog site that the issue where "Battlefield3 has stopped working" is trying to be fixed...

    Bf3 campaign crashes for me every single time I try to play. Multiplayer only crashes about half the time. Is there a driver that works better with it? I'm running 306.23 on a 680M and it always crashes. It's starting to pass me off

    pass me off (spellcheck) :D

    i know the feeling. i tried the latest 306.23 and then tried the latest on the clevo webpage 302.92 and have finally system restored to what it came with of 302.71 and they all have the one crash per game. i did play the single campaign a few weeks back and not one crash at all with no glitches or freeze ups.

    well I had it enabled, so I disabled it and things got worse. So i enabled it again and now the game doesnt crash so often as it did.... so I guess this is good clear your pagefile and then make a new one?
