Battlefield 3 is DICE's third numerical installment in the Battlefield franchise. It features a single player and co-operative campaign, as well as an extensive multiplayer component.
Since the first big patch, not the latest one, I've been getting incredibly long load times. Before the patch my load times were 5-10 seconds. Now my load times are 10-15 minutes.
You're not alone duder. I have no idea what's going on, but mine's doing the same crap. Sometimes it doesn't even load, or I'll have to force restart my BF3 while switching between levels.
Actually, my BF3 uninstalled itself randomly for the second time today. Wtf?
Yep. In addition to this, every virgin boot load of the game requires Battlefield 3 to stop working first before going stable. Other than disconnects and lag, I never had an issue. Since the first patch, mondo fucker. I sort of gave up playing since half the time trying to join a server results in the single player campaign launching instead. So now I roll with the 3 strike rule before I move on for the night.
@CL60: When the game is loading, don't keep it minimized, click on it to maximize it and it'll load faster. If it doesnt, Ctrl+F4 and try again. and again. It only takes 5 seconds to attempt to join a server 20 times.
I'm enduring the occasional slow load times and the occasional crashes and exe stopped working, the game is still in the works. I don't mind it, just have some patience!
I noticed after the patch that it minimizes the BF3 window after joining a server, you just have to maximize it and its as fast as it was before if you do nothing it just sits in the taskbar
