Hey guys, i've been getting back into BF3 lately (trying to) and i keep getting kicked and banned from servers for performing well. Anyone else having this problem? Last night i was kicked 2 twice and banned once on XBL account, the kick and ban, i was playing on Caspian Border, Conquest. After protecting the A Checkpoint flag from a tank by damaging and stealing the tank with my repair torch, i then proceeded to kill 5 enemies with it and suddenly, ban. the second kick was from an admin in my squad because the other 2 people in my squad were being loners and not working together with us so he kicked all of us out. This morning on PS3, I was playing Conquest Domination on operation 925 and locking down the B flag with an assault rifile with IRNV (it's dark in the garage after all) suddenly, kicked again. Anyone else have this problem with BF3 server admins being kick and ban happy?

yeah that'll be plenty for the sims 3 and she could even run more current graphics intensive games like far cry 3 on med-high settings. i had a single hd 7770 and it ran most current stuff pretty well with some framerate dips here and there on highest settings. picked up a second one on the cheap and running them in crossfire mode and now my games are super smooth on high settings at 1080p.

i guess my issue really was more with the loot text box borders and not the font size per se. found this which is also part of this in steam workshop. Using the latter, happier now. Thanks.

my main gripes are the huge text boxes that popup over loot, and i'd like a bigger mini map if i could. Looked through the steam workshop and thought i'd ask what anyone else might be using.

it's crazy to see how many people have sleep apnea. I was also diagnosed with moderate to severe sleep apnea 2-3 years ago. I was about 28 years old and 5'9", 195 lbs when i was diagnosed (currently in the 180's.) I always thought of sleep apnea as an old, fat person disease but it's actually much more common than i thought and isn't always attributed to your weight. Also, it's nothing to be taken lightly as it can lead to serious medical issues like heart trouble. Sorry such a great guy had to be taken by something like this.

man, i was hoping when ryan went dark on twitter, it was because his phone fell into a pool or something. This is tragic news. Condolences to his wife, family, friends, and co-workers.

Thanks for the "B" tier XBLA game that i already own on steam and XBL, Microsoft. Meanwhile on Playstation Plus, Uncharted 3, Battlefield 3, X-Com, etc. and the ability to inexpensively upgrade my own hard drive to allow for more downloadable titles.

if you're sitting across the room from it, it'll probably look fine for the most part. i recommend big picture mode in steam and xbmc if you're intending to use it for a gaming/media center box but i actually prefer a nice 22-24" monitor for pc gaming (especially mouse and keyboard games).

Curious how the framerate is holding up for anyone playing and wondering what settings in game you're using as well as what hardware you're running it on.

I ask because i had some issues running the beta build over the weekend with my newly installed crossfire HD 7770 setup, figured it was because of the CF because when i ran an earlier beta build with a single 7770, it played nice on high settings. I DL'd a new Catalyst Application Profile pack that has one for this game that disables CF when the game launches after reading that CF wasn't supported yesterday but i couldn't play to test it out.
