Does OCAU have any policy regarding this?

As far as i know, as long as he's not wearing OCAU tags there isnt an issue for the site.

Shit game can't even crash properly.

Well, my setup no longer randomly freezes, now that I've got me a sound card and a little more RAM, but I seem to get stuck on the load screen between rounds, with the loading animation...

1st time I joined a (ocau) party and we got some good shit going on. Found a tower and set up solfam and it rained jav's for quite a while. Good times

Man if your the guy that was in my squad tonight that was serious ass whipping we handed out. I was raping those poor bastards with your soflam and my guided shells. That was the best games I have had....ever.

Couldn't put a foot wrong tonight....Very out of the ordinary lol.

tell him it's no good, I'll swap him for mine

I'd put money on the PSU. I couldn't even play until I upgraded my PSU (mine must've been close to death me thinks).

From Demize, should be coming next patch:

"Laser Guided missiles should now only disable helicopters instead of instantly killing them."

If I try to overclock my GPU BF3 minimises itself with no way of maximising and also disables my overclock - I know, WTF right? But MSI AB and NVIDIA inspector both return to stock because of BF3...

What sound? Realtek integrated cause this exact issue... Just fixed it on mine today, by getting a dedicated sound card

Ahhh, C4, is there anything it can't do?

Apparently, the C4 trigger is map wide, and the charges don't disappear on death, meaning that if you get shot in the face during a violent jihad jeep jacking, just respawn, scroll to your trigger, and BOOM! plus XP for comeback (and I think I saw avenger pop up too...).

Enjoy it while it lasts.

"C4 will no longer be detonatable after a player respawns, if the player is revived within 5 seconds he can still detonate his C4."

.. and for those wondering about the mine fix:

"The player may now have a maximum number of mines which will persist after the player's death. Deploying more than the maximum of 6 mines will remove a previous mine from the world."

Other fixes that I quite like:

"Slightly reduced the effective blast radius of the RPG, SMAW, and 40mm grenade projectiles against infantry. Reduced the total number of RPG and SMAW missiles carried from 5 to 4."
"Tank rounds will now instantly destroy Jets, Attack Helicopters, and Scout Helicopters."
"AA Missiles should no longer kill the pilot instead of the vehicle." (this was in the last notes, hopefully it works properly this time)
"Slightly reduced the damage of Jet cannons." - derp, you done goofed that buff.

Attack chopper reticles are also getting fixed so the predictive sights actually fucking work. Now the Havoc just needs a buff.

I was getting hardlocks,

Not sure what one was the culprit but now its fine.

First line before those balance tweaks

There is no guarantee that any of these Balance changes will make it into a future update at all, nor is this list a guarantee that there will be future updates.
