I dont know what to do anymore... Please help, if anything else works im going to downgrade my OS.... thats my ultimate solution!! :S

 

  • Hey, do you use Internet Connection Sharing? I found out that this causes BF3 to behave in this weird manner. If you turn off ICS before and while you run BF3, it'll work as it is supposed to. I turned on ICS to share my internet through a second ethernet port on my computer to my tablet, since dorm wifi is awful. If you use skype, ICS also intermittently casues a similar "unkillable process" scenario. I hope that this is also the source of your issue, I really wish this solution was more widespread.
