Yes man your totally right about the ping issue, but I still go for the aggressive recon type...
I mean I do snipe and sometimes if you wanna call it camp from long distances also, but like I do both...
cause my sniping is mostly on dragshooting... I don't know if you can dragshoot too, but yes your plays go more for long range sniping, so maybe that's why I like to go aggressive more unlike you :)
anyway I added your Battlelog.... how active are you on it? you pay a lot?
Aly
Actually I cant dragshot, saw you dragshooting in the video and its quite impressive, you added my original account and I am not using it much right now, I added you from my second account, its the one I was using lately and it has been a week since or so that I played my last match due to Ddos, servers instability and stats loss, but one thing for sure, I will be active during double XP starting May 23rd ;)

Hello guys this is my first post. didn't even know about this website until today as I was googling a solution :p. Good to see that such a community exists :p anyway, let me get to the point. I've bought BF3 on PC earlier this year and I'm playing it more or less casually. I have this problem, it's a common problem maybe, but i just can't fix it. I just get these random disconnects as I'm playing, with no particular time intervals. The game just lags out for some seconds, and i get the message saying connection to server timed out. It's really frustrating because i rarely finish a round without getting a dc and when i reconnect i lose my score and get switched to the other team grrrr.. I have an Ogero 2mbps connection and my ping on EU servers is usually between 80-95 ms. Maybe this problem has been discussed on this thread before, but i don't have the patience to scroll through all the pages. help would be appreciated!

Hmm, you should try disabling Upnp from your router.
Lyonx
My PC is directly connected to my modem (speedtouch) and I can't seem to configure it from my browser since I don't know the authentication info (I tried user user and admin admin, didn't work).
AVOlio
Im pretty sure Upnp is the reason why your getting disconnected, with connection timed out error.
I used to have it too but stopped when i disabled Upnp...
Google on how to access your modem configuration page. Of course with mentioning the model of your modem as well... etc...
And then disable Upnp and let me know how it works out.

Well I still couldn't log in into my modem, I think its is encrypted from ogero or something. So i did something very n00bish. I have a router connected to my modem for WiFi (my modem is old it doesn't have a WiFi antenna, only LAN. So i had to buy a WiFi router to have wireless connection.). I disconnected my PC from the modem and connected it to the router, and I configured the router and disabled Upnp. Although Upnp is still enabled from the modem so I dunno if what I did makes sense. But I played a little more than an hour and no DCs till now :) hopefully it worked! thank you :D
I also watched your sniping videos, you have some serious skills man. I wish I could play like this! I recently worked my way up the recon class to unlock the M98B but till now the L96 is my favorite.
Aly
I had this exact same problem a year ago and as Avolio said disabling upnp solved this issue for good, google around you will find how to do it on your speedtouch.
By the way you never loose score if you quit, crash or loose coonection, the only time you loose stats is when the server you are playing on crashes.
Imo M98B is way superior to L96. Tried all bolt action snipers in bf3 and returned to my beloved M98B.

Yup that I know, I just meant the number of kills/deaths you see when you hit tab. Good thing the real score isn't lost upon DC or else I would have raged so hard
Aly wroteImo M98B is way superior to L96. Tried all bolt action snipers in bf3 and returned to my beloved M98B.
You're probably right I'm not saying the L96 is better but I kinda got used to it, once I unlocked the M98B it felt weird because the bullet drops a lot less. I should play with it more often. which scope do you use btw ? I use the x8. The x12 is way too magnifying, it makes closer shots a pain in the ass
AVOlio
@Lyonx every body is like you regarding close range sniping.. They use 8x scope, not 12x .
Me, i cant play with 8x scope lol neither close or long range ! Only 12x :p
And about the L96, i was like you !
When back to Karkand was released (i wasnt premium back then) i was so excited to see the new L96 sniper rifle !
I was so ravished even when i used to get killed by it ! :P Even got managed to pick up some kits then with L96, awesome times xD
But all of that was gone when close quarters was released bringing in the new beast the JNG-90 :p
Anyway why dont you share your battlelog.

yeah I dunno the L96 has that ring to it xD it's like your average sniper rifle but killing people with it feels so good :P and to be honest I still didn't do the assignment for the JNG-90 :O I'll go unlock and try it out asap

Alright here it is (don't laugh at my stats :$) add me!

I prefer and got used to the 12x, but it depends on what maps and game modes you play.
I added you too (LittleFi3ld), dont worry about stats, once you have played some time and you got to know your weak points, your stats will get better.

Guys, check this out.
No ping with a Blink 2 bars wifi signal
It was like that during the entire match.
DNA
is this happening for every match or just this one because your isp may be blocking ICMP requests,can you do a ping normally from cmd?
AVOlio
It happened during 2 matches only, and the entire 1000 ticket round.
Its not even my ISP , haha

When playing battlefield 3 online i get an orange logo on the right of the screen that says i should unplug the adapter. but i can't play unless the laptop is plugged in and if i don't remove it i freeze and i get stuck at the same place. how can i fix it ?
yasamoka
Try to see if using wire (ethernet) instead of wireless solves the issue at your end.
You should contact your ISP before considering another.

Hello guys,
Im on PS3. Just bought BF3 premium edition yesterday. But im having problems updating to the latest patch ( 2 GB ) i download everything fine but when the ps3 is installing the patch it displays an error with data corrupted :S:/ i see many people on the internet having this problem with no certain solution.
I only tried downloading once which took me 6 hours ... i will retry tonight but im afraid that something like this will keep happening like with other people .
Any ideas ? fixes ? previous experiences ?
Please help.
AVOlio
Are you sure the error is accuring when the patch installs ? or while is it still downloading ?
Anthony2000
i am having the SAME exact problem!! i have the premium edition too! but with me, it gives me an error while downloading, not installing.
