Thread for things issues you notice with items and such not working in the game. (ie. texture issues, bugs, etc.)

-Not a thread for bitching and moaning about X player killing you when you don't think he should have.

-Also not a thread for complaining about how the game looks or improvements you would like to see.



Figured I would start this so that we could have a place to find known technical issues, so that we would know if there was a fix, or if our issues were limited to ourselves.

So today I noticed that when I tried to use the EOD bot, it only came up as a black silhouette and would not deploy, (this was on PS3). Anybody else having issues with these on any platforms?


Will hopefully be able to update the Op with a easy to use list of problems and the fix for them, (if there is one.), once we have a few.


Long Load Times: 3+ minutes to load a map
Fix: Unknown. (Need spec info from those taking to long to load in.)
     *It seems that Chrome and Firefox may have faster load times than IE9.

Rubber-Banding/Server Lag
Fix: From Kimmmmmmmmmmm:

Hopefully its something EA will have cleared up ASAP. Reports of it being worse on specific maps like Tehran Highway and Seine Crossing. Can anybody else confirm this is happening to them? Or if different game modes are effected more than others?

Crashing while loading between maps
Fix: According to this review, AMD multi-gpu set-ups is one cause due to memory issues, AMD is working on a fix. Other causes unknown at this point.


No vehicle health bar while repairing
Fix: (Unconfirmed, can someone test this.) Hitting excape twice apparently bring the bar back up. No permanent fix yet.


Spawn Issues: No options screen between lives, must deploy as is.
Fix: None yet


Temporary Audio Loss:
Fix: Seems to return on its own after a bit. No other fix at the moment.


Unable to bind mouse buttons:
Fix: (Temporary) Map mouse buttons to keyboard, then bind your game to all keyboard keys.
Adams_BJ, Were you clicking on the proper column?


Multiple people playing on the same connection getting kicked:
Fix:Unknown

Stuck on 'joining server' in Battlelog
Fix: Open battlefield 3 itself as opposed to just battlelog or loading through origin. (Source: Ken)

Are 3-5 minute load times normal for the PC? I swear I about nod off waiting for a round to load.

It takes me a few minutes to load in, too.


My game freezes nearly every time a server changes maps. I get stuck with a blank screen and my (BF3-styled) cursor.

I get the odd occasional crash during rounds and upon loading, but other than that, it's working pretty smooth.

takes me about 10-15 seconds to load a fresh map, about 5 seconds to load when a map finishes and we switch factions, i am somewhat amazed how fast loading times were for me

Although i do have a corsair SSD....

Sometimes I crash between maps. After a few rounds (an hour) I lose framerate and have to close and restart.

SSD - loads fast
eVGA GTX580
16GB 1600's
Phenom II Black 965 (or was it a 945).  Running at 3.7.
Nvidia 285.62
Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit

Only froze the computer once.  But as others noted, goes mute sometimes.  Mostly when doing Stinger/IGLA locks.

Does any one else get super fast as hell mouse speeds? I turned the sensitivity down to zero and it's still a very, very short twitch of my mouse before I've spun 580. Tried direct mouse on and off...for now, I've set my "High DPI" mode to a 300 DPI to get it back to something playable -- but it makes interacting with menus and vehicles painful.

Edit: Nevermind, I am a god damn idiot. There are two "Sensitivity" sliders and I was using the wrong damn one. I should stick to programming stat webpages...

Yeah, I've had to dial down my DPI when on foot.  Sensitivity is at 30% also.

I locked mine to the maximum 1800dpi because accidentally changing got annoying, besides, not using the full dpi is a waste
