So i'm playing but it crashes regularly.. I saw on youtube that there were people playing battlefield 3 on their laptops, same model as the one i'm using. Problem is, mine hangs..

So i was wondering if it's because i'm using an i5 processor (instead of the i7 processor that the youtuber was using)

my specs :

Acer Timeline U m3581-TG
6gb ram
nvidia GT640M with 1gb onboard
Intel Cored i5 processor

show your gameplay setting..your lappy specs is ok.

yes you should able to with a mixture of medium settings. remember to turn off your AA.

my gameplay settings, i've tried all. Even on "LOW" it still crashes here and there..

Greasemonkey90 : what's AA? (On auto settings, it puts all the settings at Medium, except for texture quality which is set at High) Still somehow crashes.

AA means Anti Aliasing...you should turn off AA deferred ( << FPS Killer) , dont put it at Auto, use custom and disable that ambient occlusion and motion blur

ur laptop run on Realtek soundcard driver?

if it does, disable it. but u need to get USB headphones/speakers to hear sounds.

EA have not fix the bug with realtek drivers.

Great i'll try later!

make sure u have the latest driver installed

Original BF3 should have no problem

Not necessarily, my friend always crash while playing multiplayer, of course to play MP you need to have an original copy.

Battlefield 3 crashing problem has been fixed right

A lot of solutions and fixes posted at Origin forums haha

use MSI Afterburner and reduce core clock 900mhz to 800mhz.try it.

His card got OC? I thought OCing a laptop GPU is not recommended

I think it's a problem with the overheating.. sending it back to acer today. Really regret getting acer now.

dude, u could try disabling origin in game on settings.. I've done this and it works

Good luck on your issue OP..
