Thread: BF3 Client Side Technical Problems & Useful Information

What are people using for a TS overlay to know who is talking in game? That's also not gonna get punkbuster kicked.

There is a pre-installed Overlay Plug-in in TS3. You have to disable the Origin overlay though. Haven't had any problems with Punkbuster.

Srry couldn't help myself.

Windows updates. Origin updates. BattleLog plugin updates. BF3 updates....now crashes. Do I have to uninstall and download the whole thing all over again?

I would. It doesn't take all that long....hour and a half at most. Just like BF2/2142, a reinstall is always the best place to start. If nothing else, it rules it out as the cause.

Check your vid drivers too.
