if anyone knows a fix for me getting a frozen game whilst trying to deploy, please let me know.
Yep everything else is fine. I guess it's encouragement to upgrade a few drivers, but like you say, everything else is fine and I remember Bad Company 2 was full of this crapGive it a few patches. They normally clear it up in a few months. Rest assured it's not because of your rig - all your other games work OK, right?
Much as I want to buy this game, it's this bollocks thats stops me, even more than the fact it's not on Steam.
Even with BC2 I used to sometimes get that bug where my whole screen flickered, and that game's been out for ages :/
Joining a server off the server list takes like 3-4min to load for me :/
That was when I had 4GB ram tho, upgraded to 8GB the other day, I'll try again..
Source?Got about 30seconds of loading time when entering a new server. Using radeon HD 5870, make sure you have the customized drivers that was made for BF3!
Source?
That is not specific to BF3. That is just a normal AMD driver update to fix issues and optimise for a game. Every version of AMD drivers has tweaks for certain games to make them play better. Customised in my mind means something that is shit for everything else except what they have been customised for.http://sites.amd.com/us/game/downloads/Pages/radeon_win7-64.aspx
VERY important that you remove ANYTHING that have to do with you're AMD gfx card before installing this driver.

It is not a specific driver for BF3, that is my point, over the years they have released drivers which improved a game (which was released that month). This driver does not say "fuck everything else I will be shit but for BF3 I will scream and run like the wind".This driver was released to make AMD run good with BF3. First being the 11.10 preview, then preview 2 and now the full 11.10 driver(With even better improved crossfire support) - they did the same with BC2, especially considering the loading time to get into the game!
When it came out, it was also announced that this was for customized to improve the performance for BF3 mainly.
Tho, AMD usually does this everytime a big game such as BF3 comes out.

My point is that they do not make drivers optimised for a game which makes something else worse.It is common sense really. When a new GFX engine is built in a very anticipated game which requires shitloads to run on max, it sells GFX cards in thousands. The big companies such as NVIDIA and ATI is the ones making the real moneys here, and will ofcourse do anything to make sure they sell the most! Why would you even doubt them making drivers that is specified directly for that game?
No, I read that twitter update as saying "along with our normal update we have some specific BF3 updates to improve performance"http://twitter.com/#!/CatalystCreator/status/117343281641295872
11.10 was made specific for BF3, while 11.9 is the normal update!
But I suppose you doubt that it is even a real twitter account.
