BF4 Private Servers Getting Prioritized Over DICE Official Ones
How do some privately owned servers receive players from quicksearch when they're not even started up? For example, you can join Large Scale Battles through quicksearch and instead of being directed to an official Dice server, you end up on a privately owned server that, aside from you, has no players in it. As a server admin, it feels unfair that I need to reach a minimum of 6 players before my server receives players from quicksearch, while these other servers seem to populate completely automatically. Side note I'm on console and below I have attached a clip of me getting directed into a private & empty server.
Battlefield 3 performance bug caused by Render.PerfOverlayEnable console command
I recently downloaded Battlefield 3 again but it has been absolutely unplayable. I used to get about 80 fps on the same PC a few years ago, but now it has dropped down to 15 FPS. And I have this problem only with Battlefield 3. Every other game runs perfectly fine. I also discovered that I am not the only person with this problem, but a few other people have it too and have never been able to fix it. After some research online and testing, this issue is caused by a console command in the game called Render.PerfOverlayEnable. Setting it to 0 instantly fixes my FPS, but it resets everytime I respawn, so I have to keep doing it over and over again in a single game. I even tried creating a user.cfg file and adding the command in there as recommended by some people, but that didn't work either. Given the name of the command, I also tried disabling every single overlay I have and closing all applications except for BF3. But that didn't work either. My drivers are up to date, my Windows is up to date. Some people have suggested that Windows update could be the issue, but my friend also plays this game on a fully updated copy of Windows and has never had this issue. I'm honestly lost at this point. I've tried everything there is to try. It seems like such a niche issue that has affected very few players, and we still don't have a fix for it. If someone out there knows what's causing this, please help me fix this.
Didn't get the Bad Company 2/BC2 Vietnam veteran dogtags in Battlefield 3.
I have 50+ hours on BC2/BC2 Vietnam and I notice that I don't have either of the dogtags, nor do I have veteran status shown for the games. BF3 is an older game at this point but I love it, and I am just wondering whether or not an EA advisor can help me with giving me veteran status. Thank you!
Battlefield 3 - Product Key Error
I previously owned a copy of Battlefield 3 on Origin, and now I have purchased it again on Steam. I linked my accounts and tried to join an online server, but I was unsuccessful and encountered this error. I went to the following path: %ProgramData%\Electronic Arts\EA Services\ and deleted everything in the License folder, but the issue still persists. I also contacted support, and they advised me to update my graphics drivers, VC drivers, check my internet connection, and verify the integrity of the game files. However, none of these solutions worked, so they redirected me to the forum. Could you please help me? Thank you!
