Lonevision is correct, this is a gpu/renderer problem. The GT4xx-series cards just aren't powerful enough to do a decent job in games with DX11 at hi-res. You are experienceing the result as it tries to keep up with the game itself. Not a pretty picture! 😕mileytongue:
Choices are: 1) Use whatever combination of renderer and resolution you can live with, or 2) Upgrade your video adapter! 😕mileywink:
I'll accept that as the solution as downgrading to DX9 and 720p seems to have done the job but it annoys me that this happened so suddenly.
I've had this game since release and have been playing it with this graphics card for over a year now, I've no idea why it's suddenly causing issue now.
My battlefield 3 worked fine. And after an update it went all crazy
I don't think this is just an issue with older graphics cards. I am seeing a similar problem on a 780Ti card. It looks from the comments on the nVidia forums like this might be an old problem that was fixed but has now re-appeared with recent nVidia driver updates.
I'd appreciate an update from EA confirm whether they are working with nVidia to get this fixed again.
it is not an issue with older cards, I have a GTX660 with 2 gb of memory and having the same issues, occur at random and sometimes you'll se heads without bodies, specially in cutscenes, but if I exit and enter the game again it is fixed, is there any solution that doesn't imply downgrading to dx9?? thanks
Looks like it's an error on Nvidia's part. I suggest rolling back to the previous driver version.

I can confirm this is NOT just older rigs. My GTX 780 is having the same issue. Also, rolling back won't help unless you roll back very very far. This has been going on for at least a 2 years.
I highly suggest someone at EA look at this. A lot of people are playing to get ready for Inquisition

If you want EA to look at this, you'll have to contact them. http://help.ea.com/contact-us
I just built a new rig and I am runing the new GeForce GTX 970. Just came out this month.
Latest stable driver, and I'm having the same problems, but mine are also creating weird colour patterns across some of the walls. This problem isn't with older cards.

I don't think that's the issue because I have a 780 Ti and the problem is the same. It may just be a problem with the game.
Community AdminI've been replaying this on new hardware recently and I did notice that tabbing out of fullscreen seemed to exacerbate the issue. I swapped to Windowed mode and I went from seeing it intermittently(maybe once an hour?), to seeing it once in 7 hours of gameplay. Obviously this isn't exhaustive testing, but it might help.
Isn't there something EA can do from its end to prod nVidia along with this? It is the most annoying bug.
I notice saving and reloading helps (f5 quick and then f9), my guess is it forces the textures to load properly. Unfortunately that doesn't help when in a conversation cutscene or whatnot.
Using a Geforce GTX 560ti.
