Battlefield 3 discussion!

Can I use one original PC DVD to install & play BF3 in 2 different PCs?

AFAIK you can install it in multiple PC's with the same Origin Account. But you might not be able to play on both PC's simultaneously..

BTW.. I am facing issues in loading time. its pretty high. like 2-3 mins.. also I face shuttering if there are any other applications running including other browser.. I guess I should increase my ram to 8GB ..

Have the loading times improved?

I didn't get you..

 

[hellknight]

Loading times have nothing to do with the RAM IMO. It takes around a minute to get the game started on my 4 GB of RAM.

 

[s18000rpm]

Mine too.
The game gets unplayable most of the times. The HDD light is always on, resulting in huge skips in frames.
HDD is fully de-fragmented, even game folder is de-fragmented. I use de-fraggler for defragging.

^^Delete all the Shin Chans for better performance.

Offtopic: I dont de-frag.

For me ping is proportional to laoding times.

Maybe your laptop doesn't have enough juice.Or maybe it is being sucked by countless viruses.

i dont go to 'those' sites/click on every link saying 'free @#$*" like you.

Uh , you said above that your BF3 loading times were going really high. Was just checking if it was a permanent issue or temporary.

Karkhand maps load fast.. like is 15-20 seconds.. but other maps take lot of time.. also its not related to ping.. low ping server may take lot of time to load.. where as high ping servers sometime take very little time to load...

I am totally confused with this behavior..

simple answer - BUGGY P.O.S EA & its BUGGY POS FOrigin & BUGGY POS BF3

[s18000rpm]

5400 rpm, 2 GB DDR5 nVidia GT 540m 128 bit bus
Intel i5 2430 3.0 GHz
4 GB DDR 5 1333 mhz

Probably a Bad Sector just scan and fix

 

[s18000rpm]

Hmm. I'll try scanning for error.
It's the game man, the HDD keeps running as if anti virus is scanning in the background.

 

[hellknight]

Try turning on the game mode of Anti-Virus software.. It should stop running when you're playing game.

 

[s18000rpm]

AV is MSE, its not scanning while playing games (skyrim/gta4/me3).
played by turning off MSE too.
now scanning for bad sectors (10% done in 20mins )

update: no bad sectors

 

[montsa007]

Lol, I finished the game.

7200rpm drive would be better. anyway what resolutions you play in ?

I guess it's just that the laptop gfx cant handle this.
NVIDIA GeForce GT 540M - Notebookcheck.net Tech
at low details in 1024x768 you are supposed to get ~36fps
