As some of you know, BF3 was kicking my ass trying to stay running; I was running Windows 7 32bit; I tried everything besides a new GPU, MB, & CPU. I messed around redownloading & installing about anything under the sun; underclocking/ overclocking I have shit stuck in the wall along with a few smashed items, holy fucking rage. Now, I can laugh about it; but those who have 32bit need to upgrade to 64bit. No problems for multiple rounds before maybe 1 1/2 rounds before crash. Just FYI, the full release of the game is not going to fix your issues.
 
Good information and glad to see you got it fixed. Happily I already have 64 bit!
 
I hope no children or animals were hurt in this process.

Not only do you need 64 bit, but Windows XP users need not apply at all. The game will not even load on XP. Guess I'm stuck with BC2 as well.
 
you need 4gb of ram or more - and I can give you a website where you can "obtain" 64 bit os of win s3ven - ive been running it for years and yes I can get windows updates =P.
 
64 bit here. I still suck.

I saw one of the Bot posts on the system spec's and I believe you'll need SP1 if I read it correctly.
 
Why are you guys nor able to use Win7?

If you Win7 64, I can provide it for you.
 
To be honest...my issue wasn't the game crashing on me. it barely crashed. maybe, once after 6-10 games. I'm running on windows vista 32bit. My only problem was lots of lag/ my gun disappearing. I couldnt stand that shit. I understand the game is in beta thats why we're there to test it out & to provide feedback. I can run the game on minimum settings, it's just the fact that I would feel a whole lot better if I can run it under required settings. who know's when that's gonna happen?

@Guerrilleo - I can use a pair of win7 64 bit. only problem is, I'm 32 bit which saddens me. *shrug*

Death you can pretty much just download the ISO off either MSDN or Digital River which is who distributes the iso from the windows market place. 120 day free trial with a little rearm action. What you do beyond that i dont want to know lol.

I am suprise to hear you say this. Its actually truth for me as well. I mean i noticed its quirks and sucky performance. But I had no where near the trouble everyone else I know had out of it.

7 for the win anyways.
