i have just fixed my APPCRASH problem, and now running MP aswell as SP.

if the game files are installed in " c:/program files/ electronic arts/battlefield 3". this destination folder has caused the APPCRASH for me.

to fix it, you will need to re-install in this dorectory "C:/program files/ origin games/ battlefield 3" ( click the default button when it asks you for the instillation path.

lol, true...but its been a busy weekend. hard to find a spot in the good 64 player servers anyways......

and the whole Origin...then find a game thru the browser.......stupidest layout ever. im surprised you dont need steam. windows live, and or some other crap aswell.......

what happened to games having their own menu?? this is my biggest pet hate about PC games. all the extra crap you need just to play a game. :(

as easy as load a disk into a console is...this game is one i would never consider getting on console

hey guys, ive added the few of you who have posted your id's, im Ralfbot online

i seen to have gotten the short endof the stick with this game as i have gotten EVERY single glitch bug and crash available on the forums and so far am only able to play the game once per day...... and i mean once if its for 5mins or 2 hours it doent matter after the game closes it no longer joins any onther servers.....

I NEARLY took the game back to JB after 3 days of owning it.... and will if EA does'nt sort their crap out

C'mon guys.

Console is simply "insert disc and play". Farrrk. None of this "I have to be a pc geek to play" bs.

Shiiit. Flame on??

pc version is pretty glitchy/laggy atm. its a bitch to actually get in a server. also it took about 2 hours of installing and signing up for sh*t until i actually got to play the damn thing. ive had to turn all the graphics down to low because my gfx card was made in the stone age.

but i still would rather get it for pc, only because i cant stand using a controller for first person shooter type games

lol, i have no idea why everyone is having so much trouble. i installed it from disk, took me 8 minutes. origin got installed in one go, i still had my ea account from BC2.

as soon as it was installed, went straight into a server, all my settings on ultra maxed out and its running fine.

have not had a single problem besides some servers having the rubber banding issue.

but yeah that web browser server shit is annoying.

running i7 860 @ 3.5ghz

16gb ddr3 1800mhz

NO SSD's

nice setup, do you get any frame lag whatsoever?

im not fully clued up with computers. im running an i7 2.67ghz, 6gb ram, plenty of space, if i were to upgrade my ATI HD4890 to a gigabyte GTX570, would you think that it would solve the frame lag? or the cpu/ram be holding it back maybe..

there is a massive difference from the ati/amd cards to Nvidia, i went from 4850x2 to the gtx570 and all my issues got resolved, no mroe crashes, lag, tearing etc.

the 4850x2 is equivalent to the 4890, so i would strongly advise you to go either gtx570 or pay the extra couple dollars and go to gtx580.

nvidia drivers are heaps more revised than the amd drivers. not being a fanboy or nothing, but def helps. and some games are utilising the physx and cuda engines on Nvidia cards.

your cpu or ram wont bottleneck you gfx either.

Sorry but the comment about drivers just isn't true anymore.. NVIDIA drivers are better, sure, but AMD drivers are fine.

AMD offers better bang for buck IMO, hard to go past the performance of a 6950 for ~$280.

Also Landscribble, you will notice heaps of difference if you upgrade your GPU. BF3 isn't very processor intensive.

Even with my E8400 and HD5850 it's playing reasonably well. The CPU though struggles in some area's and the game will lag a bit. But given it's over 4 years old now I'm pretty impressed with that and pretty certain it's not the card letting the set-up down - might try over-clock it a little just to be certain however

Have had no major issues with crashes, more issues are with the online servers than anything else.

Graphics are amazing, the sound running through my amp'd headphones/sound card is phenominal - happy camper here!

sorry, but from experience, Nvidia has always been more reliable with their drivers. ive owned AMD my entire life and the gtx is the first Nvidia card i went to and ive never had a single problem.

sure the 4890 might be old now, but its still a reasonable GFX card, as soon as you upgrade Dx11 will be standard on every GFX card.

AMD is good, and will always be best bang for buck,.

One of my favorite games is Just Cause 2 and Nvidia absoloutely raped AMD cards in that because of the architecture used in the game engine was built for nvidia plus all the extra GFX content i got to unlock using a NVIDIA card

i remember when i was tossing up between the 6950 and gtx570, the 6950 was about 30-40% slower in most games. it took AMD a month or so to make proper drivers for their card.

but you can get a 6950 1gb for the $230 brand new and a brand new gtx570 will set you back around $300-330.

looking at reviews now, the 6950 has improved dramatically and is close to on par with the GTX570, so put your money on the 6950.

So you're basing your experience off one card, with one driver revision.

Seems legit.

    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way. Simples
    • Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
