Battlefield 3 tweaks and fixes
I'll continue updating this thread as tips, tweaks and fixes are found.
How can I play Battlefield 3 using my Steam overlay?
- Disable Origin's overlay (click the gear/cog and go to the "in game" settings tab).
- In Steam, add Origin.exe as a non-steam game to your library.
- Launch the Origin shortcut from your Steam library, then launch BF3.
How do I display my FPS (frames per second)?
- While in-game hold Ctrl + Alt + S. The screen's upper left corner will show your frame rate.
- Or from Console (~) render.DrawFps 1 (0 to turn it off).
If you are experiencing Battlefield 3 black screen issues:
- Update to the latest video card drivers.
If things seem blurry or seemingly unresponsive:
- Disable motion blur in your graphics settings
If players look like they're "floating" in tunnels and dark spaces:
- Re-enable HBAO in your graphics settings
If your graphics preferences don't seem to be saving:
- Restart the game as some of the settings are can't change ingame.
If you can't see your menu or HUD:
- This is a new problem that occurs when using triple monitors (Nvidia Surround or AMD Eyefinity). There is no fix yet, except to run your monitors individually instead of in Surround/Eyefinity.
- This is a server issue and out of your control. The BF3 team is aware of it and are working towards a fix.
- Start regedit
- Browse to HKEY LOCAL MACHINE/SOFTWARE/WoW6432Node/EA Games
- Change the GDFBinary & InstallDir paths to C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin\Games\Battlefield 3
- Try to launch the game and join game servers, and it should work.
If anyone discovers something worth mention, make sure you share it here.
