Contact their tech support. Their agents seem to bend over backwards to prove that Origin isn't as terrible as it probably is and seem fairly helpful.

Why would you want to practice flying in an empty server? The best way to practice flying is with 8 passengers in your chopper.

It's not real practice without hearing them all curse you to hell and back after the inevitable flip over mumble.

Origin seems to have been kind enough to send me a CD key even thought I canceled my pre-order. Origin shows it's a redeemable code for BF3, so it's up for grabs to the quickest nerd here.

e: this means PM me or post email and it's yours.

Xbox 360 controller here but I imagine it still applies:

Left shoulder button - Fire
Right shoulder button - Switch Weapon
Left trigger - Throttle Down
Right trigger - Afterburner

Left face button - Throttle Up (used only for take off)
Top face button - N/A
Right face button - Jump out
Bottom face button - Flares

Right Stick Click - Camera switch (I use this constantlyyyy when looking for targets)

Any functions I'm missing?

this is not even close.

B is enter/exit vehicle, Right bumber is flares/secondary , right/left trigger speed up slow down, left shoulder fire, left thumbstick afterburner right thumbstick camera dpad for cameras Y for weapons, not sure was X and A do yet.

Thanks for the hookup. I was looking at the dog tag in my profile. There's another one called Razer serpent, I guess for, if you buy their mouse? I also see five Dr. Pepper tags and Acts of Valor would might be tied to some event that happened earlier?

Open up your filter, check custom setting in the preset and find an empty server. Making it "custom" removes the 8 man requirement and you can move around and do whatever you want



No it doesn't. All the custom servers I just tried still had the 8 man limit to start a game.

Holy mother of gently caress please do something about this Fisher-Price HUD overlay. It'd be nice if I could see anything while I'm looking around besides big honking loving glowing symbols on top of everything right in the middle of my goddamn line of vision.

Also, immediately fire whoever was responsible for the design and placement of the chat window. Who would stick it in that retarded spot NEXT to the kill feed when there is absolutely jack poo poo going on in the upper left hand corner of the screen???

Otherwise, great game and of course it wouldn't be true Battlefield unless they leave these glaringly obvious mistakes in and never patch them.

I have switched the #pcgaming server temporarily to 48 players because half the maps are unplayable on a 64player server due to lag. It is like beta all over again. I don't know what they broke because towards the end of the beta 64 player servers were working fine.

One thing I like about war tapes' sonic snap when a bullet near misses you is the fact that it allows you to instantly hear when all 15 AI opponents switch targets to you the moment the introduction set piece of everybody cinematically leaping into cover while poo poo around them explodes is over.

I've only played SP a bit at a friend's place and it was a poo poo colored corridor full of poo poo colored trees and poo poo colored rock with poo poo colored enemies hiding between them, how far is that into the game?

Anyone having blue screening issues? It's weird. I played for about 6 hours straight last night with no issues. today I've played about 45 minutes and then it dumps to blue screen. I did notice (not sure if this was for certain happening) but that my screen would occasionally flicker green for a split second. GFX card overheating?

This is controlled by the server variable vars.roundStartPlayerCount.

The random dxgi.dll error makes it impossible to join MP. The time it takes for me to try 5-6 times to get past the error usually means even empty server has filled up. Once game loads though I'm solid.

The chopper co-op mission is pretty good practice.

Can you select different firing modes for the Javline?

Pretty sure this is how it always works every time.

Unless money isn't an object, just get a 2nd tier card from the recommended list at whatever good price you can find and you should be fine for 1-2 years.

I love this poo poo where you get stuck in an enemy's chase-cam despite spawning. You can still shoot and move around, but have no idea where you are or what's happening to your body. It's a weird feeling to come to the realization that your only way out (that isn't Escape, Suicide) is to look down and throw a grenade, hoping it kills you.

The green/orange/white flashes seem to be a bug that's been about since alpha, apparently.

It doesn't happen often enough to detract from the game, but it's a bit of a pain.

I'm getting it on a 1 month old gtx 570 with the latest drivers.
