Nah, there's actually lots of people with monster rigs (SSD and whatnot) who are still having the long loading time issues. It occurs so randomly that I don't know what to think.

For instance, two months ago I had horrible long loading times for vanilla maps and my friend with nearly the same rig as me loaded any map in less than 10 seconds. Right now... it's the other way around! And the only difference is that I added 4GB of ram so I'm now on 8 (he's still on 4GB).

Crossfire wise loading maps is an ass ache. Only because I've noticed when using msi to display mem frequencies etc that on the map loading screen, both cards tend to go outta sync. In that one will be running at 3d speeds, the other at 2d speeds, then they'll switch so one is running at 2d and the other at 3d.

During this time the loading bar progresses really slowly and sorta jerks as its loading, then as soon as the cards both sort themselves out at 3d speed, the loading takes like 2 seconds to load a map.

Maybe there is a way to impose 3d profiles against the .exe so as soon as it loads it locks at max speeds from the start? Would probably sort out this issue my end.

sometimes after a match my game hangs on next map load screen forever and HDD appears to be idle. seems like it started happening after i bought B2K. weird and annoying, but at least it happens very rarely.

Same here. It's also a very common occurrence (I mean it happens to many people, but not so frequently).

It may not be up to the HDD only. Can be network reasons me thinks. I suggest doing offline comparison. Online takes too many parameters into consideration.

How do you measure loading times for online maps... offline?


Silly, you wait until it connects then cut your internet cable. Sharp scissors are best because there is no lag between wires. Troll Face

No weapon annoys me in particular in BF3. Even USAS didn't and especially doesn't now, since they nerfed it.

Unless Werelds is using it. Then it's a fucking anti-air gun.

Not exactly a weapon but..soflam Sad . In some servers is literally impossible to fly/drive something for more than 15-30 seconds without being disabled, very annoying..and sadly skills have nothing to do with it.

Good thing Paul doesn't play the game any more Very Happy

I will again soon™
Haven't even played Tribes in days, so busy and I'll be in the UK all of next week so it'll probably have to wait a little longer Razz

I haven't even used the USAS since the patch, so I wonder if I can even still snipe with it Razz

And yes, SOFLAM sucks balls. It was bad pre-patch, but now it's a ballbusting gamebreaker on most maps.

use smoke or thermal camouflage for tanks/ifv and use Ecm jammer for heli/jet

i get what dice is trying to do , they are trying to avoid creating a medium that can be used in any situation they want you to change your play style to what's happening .

Yeah I've been using them, and they do their job just fine..but the incredible amount of ninja javelins nearby always ruins everything neutralizing any kind of evasive maneuver. It is really nerve-breaking.

Not to mention when you're on a weak team and nobody is doing jack shit about it, so you get raped and locked on even before taking off Laughing
