Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
Been a couple years since i built my last box. Not up to date on the current "cookie cutter" build for best performance for the money. Not looking for absolute bleeding edge performance. Looking for 80% rig for 50% money build. Last machine i built (my current machine) was an I7 2.6 running...
If so, it will be the first game in the Battlefield series I will not buy. I finally just got tired of f'd up server browser in BF3 and went back to playing BF2 Bad Company which is what I still play today.
Same here... brand new rig with Windows 7 and EVGA GTX 570... Hangs on "Joining Server" but here's what I have been doing to get around it.
CTRL+ALT+DEL to bring up task manager. Purge BF3.exe then try again. Most of the time it will work the 2nd time.
Then you get to login and it...
Pre-ordered it. Have only played a few hours since getting it last week. Thinking about uninstalling it.
I loved BF2, especially BF2 Vietnam exp. pack.
The web based brower crap and long level load times have pretty much killed it for me.
In BF2 I could try 3-4 games in a few minutes...
I pre-ordered and had the game the day it came out last week. I played it a few hours since. I just can't deal with the horrid web based server brower.
In BF2 I could get a list of 1000 servers in 30 seconds. With BF3 you get a few pages, most of which are full before you can click to join...
If you quit game you are in you go back to the horrible Origin web browser crap.
I can change the video options in single player.
Do the single player video options carry over to multiplayer?
I've really about had it with this web browser crap.
I will NEVER buy another game...
Just installed when I got home about 4 hours ago and have managed to get into a couple good games. Great lookin game but the web based server brower is just intolerable. $50 wasted. I'm heading back to BF3 Vietnam. I don't think this mess can be fixed.
Beautiful graphics when you can get into a game, but just not worth trying to play because of the screwed up web based server browers.
what a shame... This could have been a good game.
Heading back to BF2 Vietnam after only a few hours of BF3
Building a new 2600K rig...
Currently running with an older Lian-Li PC-7B Plus II case.
It works with my GeForce 8800GT with an inch to spare but I don't know if a GTX 570 will fit.
Requirements for a new case. 120mm fans (minimum of one in the front, one in the rear)
Black...
Duke Nukem 3D and Darkfall will both ship this year.
Both will rock the world and change gaming forever.
I know this because I heard it at 2007 Vaporware Convention (invitation only) which was held at an undisclosed location in the middle of nowhere in the Nevada desert. I was...
WTH? I get home and boot up my machine like I have been for months since I built it and
there's this crazy pop up box on my desktop that says "I AM SERVICE!!". There's no 'X' button to close it but the box has a number of click buttons on it labeled 'Button 2' thru 'Button 5', No 'Button 6'...
Was it the last patch? Everyone is lagging like hell in most all games this morning regardless of ping. Something has changed. Game was running smooth as glass until this morning.
I'm running Vista 64 w/EVGA 8800 GTS with latest drivers. When I start the game
I get the Valve music and a black screen (no dude with spigot in his head) and a little while later I get the loading screen.
Game plays OK for a little while and then hangs, frequentally with looping sound...
Same here... I'm running Vista 64. Game occasionally locks up with looping sound.
Sometimes I can play 5 minutes, sometimes 15... but sooner or later it hangs.
