Did they fix the black screening?!!?!?

I've not had a black screen since the patch but did get them quite a bit pre-patch.

The foregrip makes the random deviation of most weapons atrocious, its not even funny. Theres only one exception that I'm aware of so far : the l85

I would rather have to deal with more recoil than more deviation. At least you have some control over the former, and the later is... well... random....

No, but it gets really old when some in this community are trying to make the best of a game that many here love to play. The negativity simply put, just isnt needed.

If Toker came in and said he didnt like the patch for XYZ, then it wouldnt be considered trolling in my book. He was bitching just to be a bitch and needs to go get us those damn beers!

We have all been guilty of this behavior before, but that still doesnt make it right.

Less blue!!!! - Electronic Arts UK Community

I didn't even read any of that and I felt like things just looked better...

I was still getting them.

There is a work-around (at least, it works for me). If you Alt-Tab or Windows key out of the game as soon as the round ends (before the countdown timer to the next round starts) and minimize the BF3 window so that it's not on screen at all (not even behind other windows), and then wait for the next round to begin (keep refreshing the Battlelog window to see when the map name changes on the server), then you can tab back to BF3. So far, I have never had a loading screen freeze while using this method. The drawback, of course, is that you miss all the tallying up of your ribbons and unlocks and everything else. However, if you really don't want to risk having to rejoin the server, it's worth trying.

Thank you packetshooter and Logoboros. I appreciate the info and if I get a black screen will try the workaround after. cheers, happy friday all!

Why do I get the spot light? It's not a negative troll post. It's a simple fact that most will agree with. Does that mean I'm trying to take away from people trying to make the best of this game?
