Re: November 22nd Battlefield 3 Patch Arrives in a Few Short Hours

I wasnt speaking just guns in BF2, they did all kinds of things to stop dolphin diving that didnt work, they nerfed my C4 to the point you cant even throw it in BF2. Every patch had "adjustments" to something.

Now I do admit the C4 was crazy at first with being able to throw it like a grenade, but what it is now is a joke.

people do realize there is a huge difference between 7.62x51 NATO rounds and 7.62x39 right? The first is significantly more powerful and accurate (7.62NATO is very *nearly* equivalent to a .308Winchester round)

I was a master at the C4 throw. It was like a C4 frisbee :)

I played BF3 for the first time in a while today (due to Skyrim).

My god, what did this patch do? My FPS has dropped significantly to a point where it is almost unplayable. Stuttering has appeared out of nowhere. Don't know why that happened. Every server I have played on today has been extremely laggy. Hit detection seems off to me. First map load (after opening the game for the first time) now takes over 2 minutes, other loads take about 30 seconds.

And they haven't even fixed anything in this patch. Commo rose, tactical light, IRNV, jets...nope. They completely screwed up the squad system somehow. They nerfed weapons that didn't need nerfing. The supposed spawn point fix obviously accomplished nothing as I am still spawning on flags two feet away from enemies.

Yep, typically DICE patch. Back to Skyrim I guess.

This patch has fixed every issue I had. I get in super fast now, no disconnects, finally the ease of joining and leaving squads. For me at least this patch has been nothing but great. However I appear to be in the minority.

You could do that OR post up in the BF3 section some information on your machine and we can see if there is something we can find that is causing it. With Skyrim though, may not be worth your efforts.

Yeah, same here. All issues but one has been fixed for me. Even my FPS went up. Your in the 1% with me :yay:

Re: November 22nd Battlefield 3 Patch Arrives in a Few Short Hours

Yes you're the 1% because I got nothing but longer loading times and some stuttering in 64p. It's still playable though and since I don't play a lot I'll wait for the next patch coming with Karkand to see if it gets worse or not

Re: November 22nd Battlefield 3 Patch Arrives in a Few Short Hours

yeah, same loading times, stuttering in 64p and now my mouse behaves wierdly, its not as fluid

Re: November 22nd Battlefield 3 Patch Arrives in a Few Short Hours

I also noticed something weird about the mouse movement. Didn't they change something in this patch about the sensitivity? I ended up having to crank sensitivity up, even though it was already high.

You could do that OR post up in the BF3 section some information on your machine and we can see if there is something we can find that is causing it. With Skyrim though, may not be worth your efforts.

Considering that it is happening to tons of people, and that the game ran flawlessly before the patch, I am going to assume the patch did something unrelated to my PC.

Re: November 22nd Battlefield 3 Patch Arrives in a Few Short Hours

Well yeah, but maybe it can be fixed. Myself and Dizzle can assume that the patch gave our machines super powers.

But its OK, Im only offering and Im sure DICE will figure it out one day....when it no longer matters.

Re: November 22nd Battlefield 3 Patch Arrives in a Few Short Hours

Yes, i keep beeing pissed at mouse movement, it has not really to do with the sensitivity, it's more like to it's response, because even though my fps are higher, my mouse movement is less responsive (not really slower)
