Battlefield 3: Bugs Galore

[12andy]

Anyone else experiencing consistent BF3.exe crashes and whatnot?

Tried the following (per Google results), to no avail:
- running 11.10v3 Cats, with Cap 4 profiles
- downclocking my 6850 cores by a bit
- setting textures from ultra, down to high
- running an Origin repair which downloaded a 40MB or so file, but semi-broke the game in itself (heh)

Also having issues trying to bind joystick Y-axis UP for in-vehicle acceleration (Logitech Wingman Strike Force 3D). It seems like certain controls are permanently bound (ie. mouse wheel down scrolls through weapons, despite futile attempts at reassigning it).

The game being so damn gorgeous (and sounding so nice) is currently its saving grace, after having to play through save points repeatedly due to the crashing.

Very puzzling however, how DICE can muster such an engine, but overlook simple things such as key-binding. Quite certain that EA played a part in that, but still... bit disgraceful, if you ask me.

Bugs not found on my end.

HD5870 running 11.10v2

Am I right in assuming that you have your mouse wheel bound to specific tasks, rather than scrolling through weapons? Using a joystick as well, for the vehicles?

I've been okay, a few crashes while loading but nothing to bat an eye at.vik overclocked too. Put in 8 hours already

I've updated PB for the hell of it, although I fail to see how it would affect campaign mode playability.

Have an Xbox 360 wireless that I can use in lieu of the joystick, worst case scenario. So much lost precision/ realism though, it'd be a shame.

Just what we needed.

Another BF3 thread.

For me the beta was more stable than the release client....
