Yeah, is frustrating when you're killing a map and will be a great MVP and you're just about to finish and BOOM disconnected

*RAGE*

[Merino]

the server is back but this time it IS pw protected :(

[Megasoum]

I hope that DICE's surprise for the PC crowd today is not just the password for those 2-3 servers. Would be useless for the vast majority of players.

[Ryuuga]

Whenever I try to join the Caspian server w/ password I get a generic game error (code 1). Has anyone else encountered this?

keep trying. Eventually you will be put into a queue. I'm now at 93th in the queue.

81st. It's going quite fast the queue.

That just means that they're in the post-game stat screen and arent in the actual game yet. Give it about 30 secs to a min and it'll work then.

This runs like shit on my comp, games like Bad Company 2, MoH, TF2, UT3 etc all run fine.

I am getting drops that can be as bad as 20fps in 1080p....

Firstly this is a beta, secondly BF3 is far more demanding than any of the games you listed.

[kitch9]

IS there an update, My Origins downloading one, but its the full file again!?!

[Gareth Bale]

Just played against someone with a GAF tag. His spawn camping was not amusing. Am disappoint GAF.

I have an i3 3.2 GHz, 6GB RAM and ATI 5670 512MB, and I envy your position. I don't understand why my performance is so much worse (a steady 30fps at 900p!)

[dogmanstaruk]

I'm getting confused.

I didn't think Caspian was in the beta. Is there a sneaky way to get into it?

Curse not getting an early access PC code yet.

[kitch9]

Why is my Beta updating does anybody know? 3.9gb update?

[blahblah...blah]

That sounds like the entire thing is downloading again...

That's how it worked in the alpha too

Well you have a dual core and a slow GPU. What exactly did you expect?

[big_z]

Those of you who couldn't get into the Conquest on Caspian Border server can at least have a look at its glory here: The video is still processing but it should be at 720p after it's done. Battlefield 3 BETA - Conquest on Caspian Border gameplay (PC Ultra settings)

i love the dumbasses lining up for the jets, these guys are like lemmings and make easy kills. love when the one guy gets in the jet and eats shit 30 feet away. lol

spec looks ok except for the video card. im playing on a system with similar specs except I got a 6950 (hoping to get another soon for xfire)

[blahblah...blah]

I fully admit the system is outdated, but is the 4830 better than the 5670? Ah well, soon enough I'll be getting an i5 2500k overclocked to 4.4GHz and GTX 570, so hopefully I'll be able to run everything on high then!

[legacyzero]

Morning Gaf.... WAHT?!?! Caspian Border is available?!

How does one get in?

game probably just prefers quad core. i remember in bc2 when I had a dual core i could barely push 1680x1050 with a gtx 275 then when I switched to quad core (not even i7 or i5) it was smooth in 1920x1080

[Bradach]

Ultra noob question - just how do I get access to the PC beta?

it'll be available for everyone to download from tomorrow, 29th Sept. At the moment its only early access people playing.

[Merino]

And even more EA Caspian server's appear. Maybe they are preparing to go public with the Caspian servers?

Anyone know the pw to the EA server's?

[Snookie]

I played a bit last night. i havent really touched battlefield since the battlefield 2 demo. i'm running it on my Mac Pro 1,1 which i have a ati 5770 in it. It put all the settings on high which i was happy with, and it ran rather well. Not bad for a machine made in 2006.

I have to remind myself though that its not call of duty. its going to take some getting used to.

[taoofjord]

There's a ton of passworded caspian border maps now. There's no way they're not opening this up to the beta today. I hope they do it soon! I'm ready!

[Fourman]

Yeah that surprise is most likely Caspian being put into the PC beta. Very excited to finally play it.

[Manos: The Hans of Fate]

Oh man getting through work is going to be brutal today if they open up Caspian before I get home. LOL

[Souljiro]

Hope so this would be awesome!

[droppedbear]

Have a look Here, everyone knows the password

[Manos: The Hans of Fate]

Bah I can't ride the sexy for another 10 hours. I'm happy I'll be able to later, but man work is going to be slow today.

[Snkfanatic]

Wow if I get a chance to play some conquest I will go nuts. Hnnnnggggg

I can't believe people are saying that Caspian was running better than Metro on their machines

[throwawayname]

Managed to play one round on Caspain Border.
HNNNNNNNNNNGGHHHHHHHHH

[Gareth Bale]

Why did you stop at one?!?

[Corky]

Sadly this wasn't the case for me the fps spectrum for metro/caspian for me :

Metro : 90-155+
Caspian : 60-100

[ii Stryker]

Played on 360 for about 4.5 hrs last night. Its definitely a beta and a buggy one at that. After numerous messages "Failed to connect to EA servers" I'm able to get into to a game. This causes squading up to be nearly impossible. I've fallen through the map once, seen a player model stay at a 45º angle, most players that are prone are half way through the floor, the screen jitters, flickers and stutters at times, grenades cause some bushes to "stretch out" about 30'. The game hard locked on me once while in the menu attempting to join a match and froze once while switching sides.

Visuals for the beta aren't as nice as BC2 IMO, but it is just a 1.3Gb DL. I'm interested to see what the "HD Asset install" is in the final release.

Gun play feels pretty awesome with some minor hit detection issues. At this point this may be server related though.

The sound/audio is sublime. I did have one instance where the audio stopped coming out of my headphones but was playing on the TV. Cycling the power on my headphones corrected this issue. Is there a beta feedback thread on the EA forums some where?

As buggy as the beta is, BF3 is going to own me. Its hella fun!!

[ColeTheMole]

Lost of servers with old password go go go

[zephervack]

Managed to play one round on Caspain Border. HNNNNNNNNNNGGHHHHHHHHH

Was it better than metro?, i'm starting to get sick of it after 4 hours.

[throwawayname]

Why did you stop at one?!?

Because I got disconnected :/

Was it better than metro?, i'm starting to get sick of it after 4 hours.

Yeah so much better. Managed to fly one jet and got shot....
Hope they make it avaiable for everybody soon.

[Rygar 8 Bit]

practice your cough and fake moaning

[Phandy]

DICE secretly leaked the password for their Caspian servers?
Or the fact that they all have the same password, and are visible, and joinable?

They DEFINITELY trollin' us now.

[Metalmurphy]

Wait... the password is known? What is it?

[Emily Chu]

soooo I guess unlocked Caspian tomorrow ? for PC anyways : )

Indeed!
Did you notice players stretch when prone and crawling? Only seen it happen in the subway section. Pretty funny

[Merino]

Man Caspian is awesome.

Able to get into even EA server's with the sexyelevator pw!
