A brief FAQ on the game from DICE. How to launch Battlefield 3? Problems with the gameplay and their solution

In 2011, EA Games decided to finally take the lead in the field of shooters. To help realize her dream took the Swedish studio developer DICE, known for the series of games Battlefield. Of course, as before in the game space, there was a huge competition between the games of the genre FPS. However, the main opponent still remained the company Activision with its project Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, which was supposed to appear on the shelves a week after the release of Battlefield 3. Call of Duty series has long been criticized for the obsolete engine and self-copying, so the eyes of many gamers Rushed to the side of Battlefield 3. And here they have not lost.

The fact is that DICE has introduced many more innovations to its project. First of all, this is the new engine Frostbite 2, which gave out a surprisingly beautiful picture, and the physics and destructibility of the environment left far behind all competitors. The game is a set of single, multi-user and cooperative modes, each of which is unique and interesting for passing. The main thing was the multiplayer, unfolding on huge maps with a large arsenal of weapons and equipment.

However, not everything is so fine with Battlefield 3. First, the game is very demanding on the hardware of your PC. Secondly, at the initial stage it was accompanied by a lot of bugs that interfere with comfortable gameplay. Also after the exit the players had numerous questions and complaints: how to launch Battlefield 3, where to download the normal drivers for the game, Battlefield 3 is not launched via Origin, how to launch on XP and so on. Let's try to answer some of them.

1) So, how to launch Battlefield 3? First of all, if you have a license, you will need to download and install the Origin client, where the game itself is activated. Next, it appears in the client menu in the "My Games" tab, where you will find Battlefield 3. Then just click the "Run" button. After that, the Battlelog page will appear where we choose to run: multiplayer, co-op or single.

2) The second case. The latest drivers can be downloaded from the official Nvidia and ATI websites.

3) The third situation. If you do not run the game through Origin, then the following reasons are possible: the program itself crashed, what can it be reinstalled, or there was some error during the installation that damaged the root files (in this case, you should reinstall the game itself).

4) The fourth question is how to launch Battlefield 3 on XP. Say right away - it's impossible. The fact is that the game supports only 10 and 11 versions of DirectX, and therefore its launch is possible only on Windows 7 and Windows Vista.

I also want to add that often on the forums there were complaints about premature departure of the game in the multiplayer mode. So, if you have the latest versions of drivers, the last problem can arise for the following reasons: overloaded servers (which is very rare, but it happens), RAM filled, weak performance of your PC.

Well, with how to launch Battlefield 3, we sorted it out. There is also another problem. Some gamers complain that they can not connect to the ranking servers. And then only one correct solution is to reinstall the Punkbuster program, which is on the disc with the game. However, it happens that even the owners of top machines and a licensed copy of the game also do not run Battlefield 3. In this case, the best advice is to contact EA Games support, where you will be sure to solve the problem within 1-2 days from the date of sending the message about the arisen Inconveniences.
