[quote name='Scouter']from what i read it seems like the exact same problem. it sucks when you're on the winning team and your game freezes. not only do you get stuck on the losing side when you connect there will probably be a queue to get in the server. -.-[/QUOTE]
At least someone shares my pain. Same exact shit. Worst when the game is good and your doing really in K/D, or if its a map you like.
[quote name='_Ph03n1x_']do you have an nvidia card by any chance? the new 306.23 drivers were causing it to crash for me and a ton of other people. if you do have this driver installed, just do a driver rollback and it should be fixed.[/QUOTE]
Yup I've heard about that too, sucks cuz I did the update before I bought it so its a let down to upgrade drivers and then find out its faulty for the game you want to play lol. That's probably going to be my last resort option.
So far I've done the following
-Repair Install
-Delete TM (trademark) from install folder and registry
-Disabled Cloud Sync then delete the BF3 folder in "Documents" (helped, actually)
-Disable Origin in-game
-Disable Anti-Virus & added Punkbuster/BF3 to Firewall Exclusions
-Re-Install Punkbuster
Today I just:
-Re-installed BF3 completely
-Update Punkbuster
So I'll see how this goes...if I still have the problem I'm rolling my nVidia driver back.
edit: wow...now the game won't even start up at all
