Ok bizarrely after I was fine to start it all went to shit after a few hours of playing and exhibited the same symptoms as everyone else.

What I did was load the latest DNA drivers from Guru3D and no shit it fixed the problem. It's fixed it for me and 3 of my friends so I'm sharing. If it works let me know, if not sorry but for us this has helped no end. I've just had 5 hours solid playing no worries.

Can't fly the choppers but I was consistantly top of the scoreboard as a co-pilot on a chinook :)
 
What problems does it "fix" before i install this. The lag stuff or the AA/AF?
 
What?! DNA drivers are the shittiest third party drivers ever. Not a chance I'll put those on my machine again. :mad:
 
I've also heard that by turning off 'Shadows' it is correcting 9800pro problems.
 
Sorry, it fixed the heavy lag we were all getting with our ATI cards, it's now as smooth as my other games and yes I know they are usually shit drivers but I took it on recommendation so I gave it a try.

That's all I can say. If it doesn't work fair dincum. :)

I'd already disabled the shadows, lightmaps and turning off EAX beforehand by the way and that didn't help. Shadows and Lightmaps are now back on and fine.

4 Edits jesus. It's late I'm tired sorry :)
 
To litte, to late. I already returned the game and got UT2k4 and don't have a single regret. When Far Cry comes out tomorro im gonna be like "Vietnam what?"
 
And to show I'm really not shitting you that this has worked for me, heres a shot of something that will make some of you cry. UT2004 still unwrapped after 3 days :)

Icewind, no one cares that you don't like bfv, please don't come in here to say your opinion about it because we all know its just going to be negative. This is aboud fixing a problem, not complaning about it.

You need an edit on this one too, in order to get rid of the "un". :p

This is completely off topic. You Europeans have it great. I wish the American developers would package games in DVD cases. It would make my collection look so much better and the Amrays work better then alot of these flimsy paper sleaves we get. Just to keep it somewhat on topic, is BF:V onDVD in that picture or are all three CD's in that case?
 
All 3 CD's were in the case.

The DVD is pretty cool, it's the first game other than Baldurs Gate or Lander I've known be on DVD though. But it is very good for a 5 Gig install :)

Has anyone tried this fix yet, Checking this morning it seems to me to get AA and AF working but still not EAX. I've got all settings at highest at 1280*960 with 2*AA and 8*AF. It's slowed down but it's still playable.
