I may be giving up for good on this game (already). The latest Nvidia driver (285.62) fails to install every time with no explanation. Then insists that Origin is not installed, when I clearly just launched the game through Origin.

I hate my computer.

I'm willing to bet it's not your computer. This game is in an abysmal state for a release. It clearly wasn't tested properly. Here's some issues I've come accross so far off the top of my head:

  • The screen in-game flickers bright green sometimes (this issue has remained since the alpha.)
  • Clicking "join server" returns the message "could not join server" with a little skull and crossbones down the side of the web browser
  • Servers kicking you out and your browser displaying "you were disconnected from the login server"
  • Messages telling you "server disconnected unexpectedly. do you have the latest version of the game?" when the latest version is installed
  • Random lockups (game freezes)
  • Random crashes to desktop with a typical "program has stopped working" message

This is before the massive amount of lag there is in the game should you actually get into a match. I was in a match earlier and everything was going fine when suddenly every single player in the server died completely out of the blue. Everyone respawned and died once again. The game is riddled with bugs and issues both graphical and gameplay.

I have not had any of those issues except the server join issue once. This is with 9 hours on the game on coop, versus and campaign.

It runs very well, no crashes or perforamnce issues, im very surprised what good shape the game is in personally.

Yea... Lucky you guys... I'm also having all the above problems. The game would launch, but then crash 5 minutes later. Then I started getting the message I was kicked by admin. Now I can't even get into a game without it "stopped working". Co-Op worked great.... then it crashed. I miss the days where you bought a game, and it was a finished product. Sigh.... I'll just be eating my depression away now.

Nope, not a laptop. I have installed drivers before. I think the last one that worked was the 275.33... I haven't gotten any games recently, so it has been inconsequential that the latest drivers haven't worked. But now it matters
