I bought new Lenovo Z500 with GT740M 2GB. I installed games all worked fine but BF3 only sound is coming no graphics is displaying. But after pressing start button on keyboard and again switching to again graphics is played but mouse is not working no clicks is working plus while in game no cross hair is not displaying. No in-game text is displaying. I updated the graphics driver also but same is happening. Without updating driver all games are working correctly and no difference after updating. Please help....

The only option i found is playing in window mode... try to stretch the window as much as you can...

i can only give you one mantra of this problem ... just resist your urges to peel off the lamination :p ,there is a small spot in the lower right hand side of my touchpad and i am resisting the urges to prick it :D.
BTW are you having difficulty in operating the touchpad??

i am pretty sure you are using pirated version of the game. it some kind of bug that has come up with the crack.

Well even I had just a small hole at first but I couldn't resist peeling it off and now I have a big hole :p But I did it out of curiosity, thinking that just peeling it away wouldn't hurt.

I'm not having much problems since I try to avoid that part. However that part does feel very frictional and hard to use. So if anyone else is having the same problem, DO NOT PEEL IT OFF!

For all who cannot run Battlefield 3 in this laptop...
U can try this:
1) Create a text file inside your BF3 directory user.txt and type RenderDevice.Dx11Enable off
2) Close it
3) Rename it to user.cfg
I don't know it will work or not please rply it worked or not I will also see...

Well in my case it came off on its own, looks ugly and making it dificult to use.

It was the same with my case too. It peeled off on its own.... without me scratching it.... I use a mouse now, as much as possible, but it looks ugly.... Do you think its covered under warranty?


By the way guys, do you know about any warranty extension of this laptop which is not a part of the DO-Gear offer?

I am not sure what exactly the problem is in BF3... Just want to mention two facts that i came to know from the web and personal experience :
1. The same file had run with no problem while it showed problems in other.... I think it has no relation with laptop/gpu manufacturer as i have seen both the results with different makes....
2. Original buyers also faced the same problem... though i don't know if their problem was solved in later updates...

@rohitsubham : Have you tried BF3 in this lappy ??

Didn't face any issue with touchpad till now...

people who are having issues with BF3, the easiest solution i know of is running the game in windowed mode but at your default resolution with no borders. Will not give the same performance as fullscreen, but the missing video/crosshair/misplaced HUD elements etc will not occur.
