Topsy Posted November 4, 2011 Report Share Posted November 4, 2011 (edited) So I've finally got bf3 installed on my pc. I can run the singleplayer campaign on ultra without problems. But if I go to the multiplayer it's unplayable due to lags. Between the lags the frames seem ok though. I've tried fiddling with the video settings, even tried turning everything to low, but it makes no difference. It's a little bit better on the smaller maps. I'm slightly confused as the beta actually worked quite well. (Had a few small lags on caspian border, but nothing major) My specs are: Intel Q6600 @ 2.4GHz Asus P5K motherboard 4Gb DDR2 Ram Nvidia 460 GTX and some sort of Hitachi Hdd 7200rpm I thought it may be the processor, but I'm not sure at all.. Any help is appreciated Edit: I forgot that we've also got the Pc tech support thread. So if needed this can be moved!

Might be worth checking out your speed on speedtest.net if you don't know it (real speed, not claimed by your ISP) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forteh Posted November 4, 2011 Report Share Posted November 4, 2011 I don't have experience of BF3 but it sounds as though your system is bottlenecking, quite possibly your network card (wireless or hard wired to router?) might be worth uninstalling it and trying with fresh drivers.

AndrewEH1 Posted November 4, 2011 Report Share Posted November 4, 2011 To be honest the whole Origin and launching a game through a browser are pretty terrible...won't be buying in that format again. Took me about 10 minutes to connect to a game. Hopefully it's just because their servers were running slowly due to the amount of players.

Topsy Posted November 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2011 Here's my speedtest: Upload speed is terrible in switzerland >.> I've got no idea about our router to be honest. We've also got a crap system names "devolo".. Going to try and connect the pc directly to the router later. I was wondering if you somehow can make origin open in a different browser than in firefox with all the tabs. Up to now I put it into private mode..

Topsy Posted November 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2011 I've got no idea why, but the problem seems to have solved itself over night! Hope it won't return! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
