Did the BF3 patch really screwed up things THAT badly?

I've been reading negative feedback about the patch...apparently there are still a bunch of crashes, now even more often, the levels takes more time to load, theres still green flicker and they removed the auto squad placement...this is like the most stupid thing they could have done, seriously, what was the point in that? nobody joins a squad now, so teamplay is terrible...they made it more CODish...I dont know really what was the problem with auto squad placement.

oh and all the suggestions in the get satisfaction forums which DICE apparently checks all the time and considers? they got all ignored.

I haven't had any problems. It's just a very vocal minority.

This is the problem with brand new game engines built for the PC. They haven't been able to really get it out there and test it on a wide vareity of hardware and software configurations.

I can tell from the contents of the latest patch they are really focused on trying to optimize the engine before changing the HUD or anything else major. The Squad stuff was done out of necessity, I doubt they ever wanted the squad system to be what it was, they just couldn't get the manual join to work with the matchmaking service correctly.

Well I never crashed before the patch, and now I dooccasionally.... Skyrim crashes, BF3 now, and Arkam city cant run in dx11.... PC gaming is lol...

I'm not experiencing anything bad, just questionable hit detection.

I havent had any issues pr patch but after the patch I need at least 10 min and maybe a computer restart even before I can joi a single server.

havent had any issues, just noticed the changed squad setup buttons and the end round text at the bottom. Hit detection is fine for me....maybe because the servers I play on have a ping around 15-20

Played several rounds today. The patch fixed the flickering that I was experiencing. Though they did tone down the SCAR-H some, I've noticed.

Runs better now after the patch for me

It runs the same for me, but I was already running it around 60 FPS maxed anyways, so even if it did improve it I wouldn't have noticed. I wish they would focus on the UI instead.

Once you learn that people who complain on forums about said game with bugs or problems, are just the really vocal, whining, bi***ing minority(just read through the battlelog PC forums) then you will be fine. My only issue with the new patch is sometimes on pubs you will be on a team where there will be 3-8+ people not in a squad that don't realise it or don't care and the rest are full, empty or locked, usually just posting to your team chat helps the semi-intelligent ones get into a squad.

I'm not having any problems. It runs just the same as before and the new squad system also allows a little more flexibility in choosing your squad and being with buddies. Not a lot of big gameplay changes aside from some aircraft changes.

Jets still need some tweaking though. Before, they were a tad underpowered, now they're nice and useful for ground vehicles, but it seemed unnecessary for stingers to do less damage AND have less range. One would have been fine.

Also, they seriously need to fix jet counters in Rush. No reason we get an invincible AA gun in Conquest to prevent spawn killers, but then no such thing exists in Rush. At least put spawns out of enemy airspace so some unskilled jerkbag can't memorize the spawn and constantly destroy it before it take off, its such a major frustrating thing I'm at awe how DICE never saw this coming.

USAS-12 FRAG rounds are also too damn good, but these can hopefully be resolved next patch.

Hit detection has always been questionable in the series. Here it seems like the client side hit detection was a poor choice since I can't even count how many times I died long after I got to solid cover or avoided the shooting.

while there are some unnecessary problems people have got to chill out i mean do people even remember the problems previous games have had ? not including the fact its a new engine? just give them till january and i bet every single problem will be fixed.

My mouse sesitvity changes between the game and menus. Didn't happen before.

Before I had a perfectly running BF3. Now: Won't load 1st time. You have been disconnected from EA server error message. Massive framerate drop no matter what settings, and I have to restart PC to magically go back. Random disconnects. Noticed crappier netcode even on low ping servers. DevilMightCry

Also, people are not really crying about the stuff that they changed, but rather about the OBVIOUS, GAMEBREAKING stuff that the DIDN'T change. IRNV. Need I say more?
