Hey Logan,
I've recently acquired an Origin account with BattleField 3. I've been
watching a lot of FrankieOnPCIn1080p (He's quite good at the games he
plays if you want to watch his videos), and he makes BF3 look
incredibly fun. After getting the game, and installing it, I tried
running it, and low and behold it crashes, no reasons are given, just
a straight crash to the desktop. I've contacted EA's help centre
(Canadian, don't judge my spelling), and after waiting for 2 hours,
finally got to someone who could "help". Another hour passes before we
finally give up, and I was told I'd be contacted back the following
day, that never happened. I've searched high and low, and google and
couldn't find anything to solve this problem. I've updated my drivers,
removed the HD audio drivers from nVidia as someone said, deleted
specific files not pertaining to anything crucial, and damn near
everything else, even scaling back my factory overclock to ref. core
clock settings, and still no dice.
I'm wondering if you've run into this problem before, and know how to
fix it, or if there's anything I can do. I'm at the point where I want
to call up EA once again, and demand my money back, considering my
system surpasses the recommended settings for the game, and nothing
else is working.
Any help is appreciated.
Logan asked me to post this here, so I am.
