  • Problems with Win8 is almost entirely due to driver problems. Downgrading to Windows 7 only solves the problems as it has less bugfilled drivers for old hardware.

    To check for Punkbuster errors try installing punkbuster again and update it through the steps in here: https://help.ea.com/article/battlefield-3-punkbuster-error

    Battlefield 3 doesn't support Windows 8 yet. The best thing to do is downgrade to Windows 7.
