    Download links below are from the source forum threads, they were not re-uploaded.

    BF3 Config Utility v1.7
    - BF3 Config Utility has adjustments for video, audio and controls.
    Thread: http://www.techpowerup.com/forums/showthread.php?t=154145

    Realmware's BF3 Tools: BF3 Settings Editor, BF3 Borderless, and Battlelog Standalone.
    - BF3 Settings Editor is pretty much same as BF3 Config Utility
    - BF3 Borderless makes it have no borders when in window mode
    - Battlelog Standalone is a dedicated app for Battlelog, no extra tabs, save on resources.
    Thread: http://www.techpowerup.com/forums/showthread.php?t=154809

    Some have reported better framerate in Window Mode.
    - Borderless tool will allow you to have it centered, in Window Mode at your screen's native resolution, so it looks just like it's full screen :D

    The source for BF3 Config Utility is located here.

    Using it now, so thanks for sharing.

    Edit: WOAH!!!! It has an option to remove the lens flare effect!!!!!
    You still get blinded by the sun (like in real life) but at least it doesent look wierd or anything.

    Is windowed mode running faster than full screen mode? I heard that, but it doesn't make sense. I dunno maybe I'll try. But thanks for info, and thanks DEagleson for reference link.

    Why couldn't EA/DICE made a config utility to begin with considering how you enter the game and all? Leave it to the community to make things work.

    Oh I thought lens flare would have to be a client side update.

    I was mistaken, it doesent remove the lens flare truly, but if you disable the "enlighten" option it saves you allot of hours getting blinded.

    What version are you guys using? Can I have the download link? :D

    Also, wouldn't you get banned because of this? Dice said that we can't edit colors on BF3...

    This just edits the settings config so you can change graphical settings ect.
    The Colour Tweaker is a separate program.
