I was able to finally "fix" the unmappable mouse button using Logitech's Setpoint software. And what a world of difference do decent controls make! I still play waaaaay below par on what I consider acceptable but I'm getting there. Next step - purchasing a HD6950. :D

Does anybody else dislike the high damage model? I feel like I'm constantly required to either couch or jump into prone or else my chances of survival are practically nonexistent...

I want to play Caspian so bad, but I kind of want that to be a release date treat for myself.

Are you saying you cant map mouse 4/5 to something unless you use the mouse software?

Yes, you are not able to remap mouse keys within the game. A beta bug that imo shouldn't have been there.

you have a computer better then mine and i can run the game at that res, graphics all set to high (HBOA set to off) with 4x AF/AA and it runs pretty good. I am also not using any of the new beta drivers out there that would help performance with this game. You should be more then fine.

Sounds good. (Y)

You have a link to the Beta drivers.

I am having issues installing the newest official release. I gets to the point where it's installing the driver itself and does the turn your monitor on and off bit but the screens never come back on. I let it sit over night last night with no luck and had to hard reboot it this morning. I have tried 3 times with the exact same results.

My PC specs are as follows: i7 920 @ 3.8GHz, 6GB Ram, 2 x ATI Radeon HD5770, Windows 7 x64.

I just Googled BF3 Ati beta drivers. There were several links.

If anyone hasn't yet upgraded their drivers here are the Battlefield 3 Optimised drivers for NVIDIA and ATi graphics cards. These are the official releases from NVIDIA and ATi they haven't been modified by any 3rd party.

Quite a big performance increase for you NVIDIA owners (38% according to NVIDIA)

ATi v11.10 (32 & 64-bit, Vista / 7): http://downloads.gur...nload-2795.html

NVIDIA v285.38 (32-bit, Vista / 7): http://downloads.gur...nload-2793.html

NVIDIA v285.38 (64-bit, Vista / 7): http://downloads.gur...nload-2794.html

NVIDIA v285.38 (32-bit, XP): http://downloads.gur...nload-2792.html

Also I've made a Neowin platoon on BF3. Feel free to join it. It'll be a nice and easy way for all of us to play together. Plus we can compare stats easily.

Is it possible to be in more than one platoon? I have my own for a few friends^^

Played some Caspian border and all I saw was this:-

FU jets for wrecking my gameplay.

Yeah I'm a member of four platoons at the moment.
Oh you can laugh now but wait till I get used to the map, slow movement, high weapon damage and jumping into prone :p
Dude, I swear down if you go prone you'll never hear the end of it from me. I hate proners. With a fricking passion.
Good idea Singh400!!

I requested to join the platoon :)

Everyone who has asked to join. Has been accepted.

Sent the request for the Neowin platoon, although I really hope they reset the stats once the retail game comes out, I have really just been messing with my graphics settings more than anything else, so my K/D ratio is horrid. Not like it will be much better when the final game is released, but it is truly awful now. I can pretty much guarantee once tanks are involved though, I will put up a damn good fight for that top tank driver though.
