tag: Buffalobiian. My play time isn't so strict from work. I'm generally on my computer from 10pm till 2-4am though. Juggling anime and games is a pain.

I think my tactics and method of play needs some work. Perhaps I'll visit the campaign some time to see if it'll hold my hand through some of this. Kinda miss cod where enemies are pretty easy to identify and are <300m away usually.

What's your longest headshot? Mine's 205m. Dunno if that's considered far or not. Will also have to play with my brother 1vs1 so we can work out some stuff together. Like how to use the mill-dots compared to how tall the person is on the scope.

My longest headshot: 45 m...so yeah. Not that I'm anywhere close to the average. My "Skill" is -256 after all.

I did kill like 5 guys in a row with the shotgun. Idiots were all clustered trying to take out our tanks and APCs. I flanked 'em and killed them to the last man. I think the last one was the only one with enough time to go out of prone.

game keeps crashing every 2 minutes (multiplayer only)

I'm mad

I get serious graphic erros I don't know why, every other game runs smoothly and fine on ultra settings, this one won't even run on low-setting without serious bugs...white models, serious tearing... its like my graphic-card is overheating and broken, but the card works just fine and is below 50°C

and I had a DirectX-error the other day.

de- and re-installed my NVidia drivers but it didn't help

are there any DX11 patches out there or something? I don't know what to do, I've read through a lot of threads with the same problem, but so far most of them were left unanswered (people are to busy playing )

[Buffalobiian]

My brother's geforce 580 (or was it the 570?) experienced intermittent crashes. I told him to use this fan-made driver for his sound card instead (xonar D2X I think), but we haven't followed up on it.

At first I did get the "kicked by admin" error, but updating PB manually fixed that.

As for graphics glitches, I get the occasional green on my screen. Might be leaves, but it's a pretty bright green - as if it's a vRAM overheating problem. I do run my card rather hot through aftermarket quiet cooling though, but I'm pretty sure I did it properly this time.

Yeah, and my skill is -40 last time I checked. I wonder if vehicle suicides is what's causing it.

What GMT is that?

My longest kill shot is 127 m. 207m wtf? What weapon did you used when you achieved that?

Ryllharu and KrayZ33, I have added you both.

I never had any tech problems while playing BF3. Aside from when I'm using Origin in-game then my mouse gets stuck on the upper left corner of screen and then it forces me to minimize the BF3.

Let us play later 7pm GMT+8 onwards!

[KrayZ33]

reinstalled the game and it works just fine now without any serious errors

I don't know what went wrong during the first installation but I bet origin is at fault :P

Played a game with Lucifus the other day. I'm surprised to see that I could play on non-Oceania servers without much noticable lag at all. (or any worse than what I'd experience with more local servers).

Finally unlocked an LMG for Support. Kind of tossing up between Extended Mag or Flash Suppressor. I guess I'll figure out what my survival rate is through trialling them, since the flash suppressor kicks up recoil like anything, but seems to hide your presence better.

Extended mag plus (relatively) increased accuracy, bipod and 3.4x scope... man, that's some supporting fire, haha. Great for choke points, but sucks if you get flanked as well as if you don't have a good position to set up your bipod.

Play with me later on asian servers. It should not cause any lag for you. I'll pm you later.

I'm online now. Will be for another couple of hours depending on how tired I am.

Did you know: The longest headshot in Battlefield 3 was by DaChilliBear at a distance of 1938.03m.

[KrayZ33]

nope

1941.35

and its faked anyway :P
the same goes for the 11k killstreak etc.
lousy pieces of shit, thats what they are.

they pretty much destroy the whole fun you could have with these leaderboards.

That's gay. How do you fake it?

There are a lot of hackers in BF3. There are accounts with 4 hrs play time with 2k kills or something. In game hacks are common too, there was a player in one of my game that always kills with a headshot and he does not die lol.

Are you done installing it again Buff?

[EpyonNext]

I'm EpyonNext on Origin/Battlelog. Add me for excellent fun good happy kill times.

[oyabun]

What time and GMT do you usually play?

[EpyonNext]

GMT -5(EST), however, in Jan that'll change to CET(+1 GMT) when I move to Germany. Right now I usually play between 7-10EST on weekdays.

My longest Headshot so far is 516m. with MK11 MOD 0.

Yes, but that didn't fix the issue.

Going into Avast's Webshield - expert settings - enabling the "scan from.... well known processors only" fixed it though.

(Background info: My battlelog didn't allow pop-ups such as adding people to parties, or accepting invites, due to the way Avast antivirus' webshield is implemented. You had to manually refresh to see some things, but others were simply blocked).

Hah, you're crazy. :P

Had a few hours with Ryll the other night, and just finished playing with Oyabun. We had a squad of 4 consisting of us, my brother and Oyabun's friend. And out of personal preference, we each happened to specialise in a different class, which gave our squad nice, all-round capabilities.

Ace squad ftw! (It took us like.. 2-3* hours of play-time before we successfully organised ourselves into the same squad though)

* - could have been 4 actually..



I unlocked the Pechang (or something) for the Support class. A more powerful, but slower firing version of the first LMG. I didn't like it at first, but once you get remember that it's a stronger gun (and hence don't need as long a burst to kill), as well as unlock a 3.4x scope so half your vision isn't blocked by iron sights, this gun rocks.

Due to the high damage and bullet velocity, it makes a good sniper at mid-mid-long ranges. The bullet doesn't even drop that much thanks to it. I was surprised to be able to outsnipe these two guys with iron sights.

Up close, it's a good close-combat weapon thanks to the heavier rounds delivering overall higher damage-per-second. It's finally allowed me to outgun the SMGs of the Engineer class in close quarters. It's still a relatively slow firing gun at 650rpm though, so you've got to make sure you're hitting your targets - something that's easier said than done at 10m distance strafing firefights with a 3.4x zoom scope.
