Anyone here tried BF3 with 3dVision? Finally upgrading to a 120Hz/3d capable center display tomorrow and I'm curious if anyone has given it a shot and how they like the effect.

IS everyone enjoying the server lag that can make your game nearly lock up no matter what server your on?

I am freaking loving it....battlelagger 3 activated.o_O

Its bad..........real bad..........WTF did they do to it?!?!?!

Things were fine earlier, then I come back a couple of hours later and Whoah! People are warping all over the place.

It may be a PB issue, I read that the non PB servers are running fine.

I thought my 690 was dying on me till i read it on the forums. Freaking punkbuster

LOL i thought it was the overclock on my 3770k being unstable so i took it down from 4.4ghz back down to 4.1ghz...rebooted and well its worst off then before,till the point i swear the game is gonna lock up and it happened so much.o_O

Then i thought perhaps something was happening to one of my gtx670 cards and at that point i'm pissed and suddenly i am seeing the chat in BF3 loaded with people who are lagging as well,i was like man i am glad i dodged a bullet there.:eek:

This lag is a huge issue.

I have under 20 ms ping, and the game is unplayable.

Is it just me or is the MTAR-21 kind of a beast?

Damn, I wonder what PB did to cause this issue.

It seems that this morning the lag was in my favour. Lots of people just standing around for my 870MCS + Slug to meet their head. I love picking off snipers 100m+ away. Leveling up shotguns without a slug or even flachette is a pain.

I was just now trying to snipe and the lag was in my favor only a third of the time. The other two thirds it of the time it made me want to kick puppies and punch babies. The worst part was that when it appeared I had them dead to rights with a perfectly lined up shot, BOOM.......nothing, then when I was just no scoping hoping for the best, BOOM......... headshot. :\

Im done until this is fixed, guess Ill play something else for a while or maybe go outside and boil in the pool since its 100 degrees here.

You are lucky you have a summer that has started. Just around 12-15c and lots of rain. All I want is it to be a bit warmer.

summer is over rated! its uppe r90's today, 100+ to the weekend and then 'down' to the upper 90's

my 28 day forcast has TWO days under 90 in it, and the humidity is going to be high enough to be annoying, but no rain, and we NEED RAIN BAD

SO...I haven't touched this game in about 3-4 months...gave up on it out of frustration of being butt raped in all vehicles...as well as generally getting my ass handed to me in fire fights going solo vs. roaming packs of squads on team speak.

Did they ever get a better option of VoIP or is it still via that friends stuff in Origin?

Was planning on formatting the ole PC and actually contemplated reinstalling this game...

When I get shot my screen goes black and then once I die the game reappears and then I can see my hand. I have no chance to avoid death now. I thought it was my card at 1st and figure nawh. So installed the new beta drivers and had the same problem, so I then reverted back to the 301.10 drivers and problem continues, but glad to see it's a game issue and not my cards or drivers. So, I guess I'm out until they fix the game.

So should I go back to the beta drivers since that is not the problem?

Problems seem to happen after those DBL points weekend.

I know the fix to that issue... when that happens before when I couldn't get the weapons to come up with the number keys I used to run around begging someone to kill me! Then I figured out you can bring it back up with the middle mouse scroll button by scrolling up or down...:eek:

Sometimes the LAG is just random... I recently recorded another video of a guy that we pumped thousands of rounds into and was still alive...D:
