What's the problem?

Don't know
it just wouldn't start
in task manager processes, everytime i try to start the game bf3.exe pops up the a couple seconds later it just disappears
so frustating

thanks for the tip
it's not that it's crashing, it doesn't even start, but I've tried that and it also didn't work

Anyone else having horrible stuttering (specifically with the mouse) in this game? I can't tell if it's server lag, or if it's just me, but it doesn't feel like traditional "your-system-isn't-good-enough" lag. My FPS isn't the greatest, but the stuttering seems like it's something else. It even happens (although less) on low settings. Hopefully future patches will fix it... Also, how do you know if you're running the game in DX11 or not?

Are there any 6990m owners? )
What fps do you get?

Guys with AMD cards, I havn't tried, but I think if you go into CCC you can turn tesselation off and overide the Application settings for BF3. Worth a shot and if it works should boost FPS I think.

I'm currently running bf3 on an M15x with an i7-720 and a 460gtx card and it's horrible :-/
The game itself runs fine, good fps and everything but for some reason every 5-7 mins it just freezes up my entire system forcing me to reboot :S

Anybody know of a fix or something to that it at least freezes les often?

Edit: Removing the OC on my 460gtx didn't work.
Also, the card never gets hotter than 68 degrees celsius so I don't think it's overheating or anything.
Also it never exceeded 85is% load.
Oh, and for some reason this never happens in single player >.>
And I tried updating drivers, going back to older ones etc I think about 3/4 different drivers total

5850 @ 750/1050 on medium/high settings, no AA, v-sync on. The game runs great, I haven't checked my frame rates though. Everything is set to performance in CCC except v-sync. Catalyst AI is off, I don't know how much of a difference that makes. I can post a screenshot of my CCC settings if anybody wants to see them.

Explain how it freezes. Is there a sound loop when the game crashes?
