Nope. Works fine for me. Well, I did get that endless black loading screen after I updated, but that was because my Russian-to-English converted install updated with Russian files. Somebody always uploads a simple fix with the English patch files for it on Reddit.
Ever since the patch the game seems to be running smoother for my computer. Frames seem less choppy and whatnot.
Worse for me by about 10 FPS. Was rocking 70+ FPS before patch now I'm only getting 60+.
How about an important topic: How about stingers on helicopters? I basically gave up in the game because it was too easy to get shot down and was super easy to dont die in a jet.Quote:

I should think that with shorter range, an attack helo can get out of lock faster by diving away. The down side is that you'll end up low to the ground, so make sure there aren't people waiting for you with regular RPGs.
Well I was pretty good in a helicopter, probably my best attribute in BF3 and yet anyone with a brain could hit me down. I'll have to download the patch and see what its like.
I think the Stinger/IGLA is in a good place now, except it locks on a bit too quickly. It has good damage with reduced range. So now I can at least blast myself the fuck out of their range if I'm a jet. Helicopters are not so lucky.

so glad I don't own this game.
*facepalm* So annoying. I really hope there's something for those of us who don't buy that garbage.
It's necessary in BF3 because the game is broken for new players entering at this point.
