Welcome

Now that they have shut down how can I play multiplayer?

Just recently got a gaming PC after years of being a PS user. I got BF3 on it last week and used to have 170-200fps on ultra settings. Today on metro server started going to about 90-120. Then every other server I tried stayed the same, no longer hitting 150-200 as last week. Nothing new happend, no new programs or changes. PC configuration is Ryzen 5 3600x+gtx 1080 8gb.

I got a copy of Battlefield 3 on ps3 recently and everything updated properly but it gets to the install screen and the loading bar gets stuck on 8%. Anyone have any ideas why?

Just a quick quiestion. I had a BF3 since release that I bought as hard copy license from a shop. At that time it also required to have Origin and Punkbuster to play multiplayer from Battlelog and they installed automatically. I've quit playing in 2015 or so due to personal reasons.

Now since my Origin account has both licenses for BF3 and BF4 i've log on to EA app no problem and was able to claom download them both. Single player works just fine but when it comes to MP I find a nice server with best ping and try to join. I see loading screen and even hear sounds of current action but everytime game just automarically quits without any notes or further instructions. Do I have to manually download and install punkbuster or something? Because I remember it was included and you just hop on and play.

I added my friend on battlelog but he didnt get any notifications so we tried it on his end but nothing happened on my end as well. I added him a day ago but still, nothing appeared. Were already friends in ea but for some reason, we just cant on battlelog. Any solution to this? Thanks

If you’re looking to get the game… Get it now because there’s major discounts on steam, including premium ☺️

I bought it on steam and nothing happens when I launch it, I even open it through battlelog and the EA app and nothing happens. It just gets stuck and eventually closes. I deleted the EA license and restarted my PC and nothing changes.

Hi!

Can someone help me to get 4 kills with DPV on PC?

I can help you with something else in return.

Hello everyone, I am new to PC gaming, but I've played Battlefield 3 a lot on console. Are there any good discord servers to join for people to play with on BF3 PC? How do I join those? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

the ea app overlay makes battlelog fail to open the game, this does not happen with it off

since the steam overlay needs the ea overlay to be on to function on the steam version, is there a way i could get the ea overlay to work on the ea app with bf3?

We need a BF3 Canals Server on PC now that the consoles are dead.

What is the easiest/best way to get one setup please?

I'm trying to get bf3 running but when I try to join a game it gets stuck on joining server is there a way to resolve this?

at peak times i see 5+ servers with 40+ players and at lowest times usually 1 or 2 servers with 40+ players

is this increase because of the console shut down or has it always been like this?

whenever I set 'Render.PerfoverlayEnable 0' my performance nearly doubles and feels more consistent is there any fix of this so that it doesn't reset repeatedly after death/respawn.

For PS3 players that want to still play Metro on Console this is for you.

Classic BF3 Metro with BF4 weapons only changed ticket % to 300 and reduced respawn time to 75 for maximum fun.

So I’m looking for a gaming PC, but after researching many things has me in doubt. Years ago you could play with weak hardware but nowafays people have issues with FPS.

Now that I would like to enjoy BF3 on PC again, what are your suggestions for PC requirements to play online on ultra settings with at least 60 FPS?

My time zone is +3GMT

I have a macbook pro 2017 i just installed windows 10 on it via boot camp to play bt3 and it’s working great, also i have a ps4 controller so the question is how to play bt3 multiplayer using ps4 controller i did download some software to use ps4 controller but no luck if anyone one has a tutorial for it please provide Thanks you

Long live BT3

We saw what happened to BF3 on consoles wuth the shut down, we can not let that happen on BF3 PC, so server owners, community Content Creators, players message me to set up tournaments, fun events, and streams. We will grow Battlefield 3!
