So, with BF3 currently down in price will any other TWHL members be joining in the fun? The TWHL platoon on Battlelog only has a lowly 10 members? Just think, you could be a part of that AND you get to shoot people in the face.

I bought it because Strider's a dick and I hate him. YES YOU STRIDER READING THIS RIGHT NOW. FUCK YOU!

...Nah, it's because I've had an itch for shootering and no game I have at the moment can scratch it. However I don't see how I could play on your team with the lag and all >_>

Australia was not invented for online gaming, it has to be said.

Well, not for online gaming on servers on the other side of the world :P

Except Worms Armageddon, that works just fine no matter where you are. We've been getting back into that recently, you should join us again Huntey!

Also, give me the low down on how to join the TWHL platooney. If I can't be there in (virtual) person, I can at least be there in spirit. Origin (sigh) username is Pebguibnoy.

I don't know what to do... is it worth it?

[EDIT] Nevermind, it's back to 50 euro again :P.

[EDIT] Penguinboy, isn't light supposed to travel at an incredible speed of c? That means that light is traveling around the Earth ~7 times per second. That means 130ms in one circumference travel. But internet optical cables never go that distance, so at worst you should get a maximum of around 70ms.

What's the problem?

Not sure if you're trolling, being sarcastic, or genuinely confused...

I'm not getting Origin, I already have Steam and Desura, I don't need EA's shit on my computer.

Striker you didn't account all the switches/routers, queues and other crap you're packets have to go through to reach the land of all lag - Australia :)

I can invite PB and Ant into the platoon once you accept my request. I think the platoon is open anyways you could search for and join it.

Damn. Think of when we'll have bases on the moon. Turn-based gaming only :)).

So, Worms then :P

Invite accepted Blitz :)
Ant doesn't have BF3, he only has an account from when he played the beta.

EDIT: BF3 is quite unstable for me :(
My "Quits" stat is at 55%, that's how often it crashes back to the desktop before the round finishes. Lame!

Worms Armageddon... Ah, I remember back when I knew all the tricks to that. It'd take me a while to get the hang of it again. And to get it again.

I had an issue with BF3 crashing to desktop when I first started playing it. Then I did something to fix it and it has never happened since.

Trouble is, I can't for the life of me remember what I did... I think it was related to my connection and it quit to desktop whenever I lost connection to the server.

Do you get a message at all when it jumps back to desktop Pb? Is it related to the connection or is it just your bog standard "boop. I'm dead" kinda thing?

Worms Armageddon~!

Shit Pengy that sucks. You're not using any beta drivers or anything are you? BF3 really picky about video drivers. Mine started crashed regularly after the last update and for some reason switching the install to my newer drive fixed it. I have no explanation for that.

If you find you like the larger conquest maps with 64 players you should really get Armored Kill. One of the maps is essentially BF3: Skyrim. Looks exactly like it. The flight box(in-bounds infantry space is obviously smaller) is about 3/4 the size of Skyrim's entire map, and it's mountainous. The flight box is 2 kilometers high. It's nuts.

New drivers came out last week, I'll try those but I don't really expect they'll do anything, I'm unlucky like that :P

EDIT: Nope, if anything, it's even worse than it was before :/

@Urby: No error message, just dumps back to the desktop. The game is still running though, from there I have to alt-tab to get my mouse control back and kill the game from the task manager. Google hasn't returned any useful info :(

I don't regret buying it, but I certainly won't be buying any DLC for it if it's not stable on my machine.
Commented 11 years ago2012-09-23 03:28:46 UTC Comment #43765
Ah, lame. I'm on driver version 301.42 and it's stable, if that helps. I don't believe it's the most recent drivers.
Commented 11 years ago2012-09-23 03:38:31 UTC Comment #43761
Yeah, that's the version I was on before. I'll downgrade to those drivers again because they seemed better. I'll try your trick of moving the install drive as well. I'm due for a CPU and RAM upgrade and a Windows reinstall soon, might bite the bullet on those and see if it's any better after that.

EDIT: Still crashing after doing both those things. The worst part is that you don't get any of your experience points if the game crashes :|
