just make sure u play this weekend at least once

 

Nope, both using firefox.

I've got a potential fix, which is adding battlelog to the avast web shield exclusions, just got to wait for him to get back to try it.

 

I had the same problem, I disabled avast completely and then resend the invite. It should work then


Good luck

 

I've seen the thing about disabling AV, but don't really fancy that, awkward and hassle to have to do it each time.

Hopefully this exception will sort it.

 

It isn't that hard to do, hopefully an exception works cause then I'll do it

 

Yeah, probs alright on my machine, but I wonder how long my mates PC would remain his own if he turned his anti-virus off, he's not that 'up' on pc security,

 

Both myself and a friend use Chrome and Microsoft Security Essentials, I sent an invite, he accepted, joined, Jobs a gooden. No issues encountered.

Sam

 

Has anyone else managed to sweet spot a tank in the gap between the turret and the body? I'm not completely sure the vehicles were at 100% health but they looked good. I've one-shotted three of them from about 5 meters.

I also one-shotted a viper when it passed a couple of meters over my head. That one came as a surprise. I guess there's a weak spot on the bottom.


And yes, pistol draw speed is too slow for it to be useful.

 

Really starting to get annoyed now.

Everytime I try to shoot at an AA vehicle from a jet, the game crashes!!

Pretty much every crash I've had has happened when flying jets, and it always seems to be just as I start a run on an AA vehicle.

 

I get a crash every game, regardless of what I'm doing. Now that's annoying.

 

The game's been quite stable for me recently. Only opening day was there much instability.

Probabaly jinxed it now

 

just had fantastic and very close game on Grand Bazzar.

loving my silenced SKS SKS + silencer + forgrip + 4x scope is my new VSS so far.

 

Agreed great game. I enjoyed being sneaky sneaky with my C4, certainly got you once or twice.

On another note, I'm pissed off about the Javelin. I've been carrying it around for ages waiting for someone to use the SOFLAM; got bored waiting; set the SOFLAM up myself and switched classes. It works but... it turns out the Javelin's **** anyway and misses 90% of the time even with a designated target.

Definitely needs a boost, considering the amount of teamwork you need to get to that point.

 

+1 to that, although I have the IR scope at the moment.

I think I probably pissed some people off on Seine crossing just now, SKS hiding behind a car door, I got 32 kills total in the road, with 2 deaths, and a streak of 9.

Just kept taking them down as soon as they got defib'd, and I was right behind an enemy tank,

 

lol, indeed you got me a few times with that sneaky C4. Telltale

argh. i was looking forward to unlocking the Javalin myself....

 

Interesting that with skill fluctuating as much as it does that it is used for matchmaking. I assume only to balance teams between rounds?

The T-ugs is much more balanced than the motion sensor for the simple reason that you can crouch run through it's area without being revealed. Nothing more stupid than not being able to get that annoyign snipers tags because he's seen you as soon as he throws the ball

 

^ I don't see what the problem was with the motion ball. You stop moving, you stop showing up. Oh well.

 

+1 for the soflam + javelin combo, it sucks balls. I played a couple rounds with some of my clan members. I'd mark they'd shoot, and not a single kill. The soflam is easy to spot since it uses a laser and the javelin takes so long to lock on, sometimes flares will make it not lock on and if you lose laser lock, the jav doesn't do anything but miss

It needs a buff and a big one

 

Have you got multiple tabs of Battlelog open? ie, have your stats on one tab and server browser on another? It doesn't keep both chatboxes updated, only the one in which you most recently typed.

For co-op, perhaps disabling UPnP on your router would help - it seems to be a common problem, but other than that google is your friend.
