Crashing between rounds.

[Duke{CLR}]

Minis PC will lock up with a black screen when a new round begins. Is this a known issue? Any advice?

I have the same issue. Mine extends further, in that I can't even launch the game to begin. The fix for me: As soon as you start the game, before it 'goes to it' (where it begins running but not switched to) open task manager, and set processor affinity to ONLY 1 core, and not 0... (I have a dual core, so I set it to 1)

its not the prettiest fix, but it lets me run with no crashes at least.

Thanks I'll give that a try, what you you set it for a quad core an e6650.

Happens to me constantly...

I get that alot too. I've been trying several things to limit it. It seems random when it happens, but always on a map change. Sometimes I go 5 map changes with no issues. Other times it is every map change.

I've just become proficient with the alt-f4 and reload or cont-alt-del and reload. I noticed a little stat that shows I quit games 33% of the time so that is how often the game crashes on me during the match. I dunno if that counts during map launches.

This seems to be a common problem. There's a group of friends I used to play with I checked in on - and of the 8 of them, 5 of them had the same issue.

I'm starting to think it's from origin, not bf3. Yesterday I had firefox lock up on me while posting in the forums and origin was running. That has never happened to me before.

I usually only say that last thing to the ladies.

We are updating our servers

Hello everyone!

It´s sunday night over here at the office. It´s cold and dark outside but inside one of the nicest buildings located in the heart of Stockholm, sits a team that is working on updates. We at DICE are rolling out a new server update and of course, we are posting the change log to you.

For users, this means that you don´t need to update your client since this is a server side update.

- Fix for crashes usually occurring during level switches. Server providers may see a little bit of memory leakage instead in this situation

- Game servers should no longer quit in some situations where the online backend servers are down. Server will reconnect to the backend once it's up again

- Fix for ghost servers which didn't accept connections

- Kick reasons should better match situations where they are issued. This will help battlelog provide more accurate information to the player

- Connection fixes to avoid players sometimes being rejected while joining the game server on one of the last slots

- Security updates

- Improved server logging

Not sure if they rolled it out yet or not.
