Battlefield 3 windows vista or later error

I've tried firefox now too I don't think compatibility settings will work as origin doesn't have to be open for it to give me the error message Also, does this happen if you do a clean boot without disabling Punkbuster? I've tried a clean boot to no avail. I think this is an issue with the battlelog website, but I'll post my DxDiag, in case it helps I can't update my Windows 10 to RTM that way as this is the insider preview for windows 10 updates ie.

I realize that's probably it, though I have tried many ways of getting round it. Different browsers and spoofing user agents, although it seems there's no foolproof way of doing that.

It's kind of frustrating I'm probably not going to install another OS to play it. I just hope there is a simple solution out there Tried uninstalling and running as admin. Didn't help. The game works fine though I switched origin to offline mode and played through some of the campaign. It's just the battelog website locking me out of the multiplayer. Are there any workarounds for running the game on an 'unsupported' os?

Step 1: Perform Clean boot. Step 3 Now try to install the game from the official link and see if it brings any difference. Nothing has been over clocked and yes I did try to disable AV. People have told me to increase the userva, re-install the game, disable cloud storage, disable Origin in-game, trying to run the game without Origin and much more. They never crash. It is a bit mysterious that the games started having problems after the patch.

Maybe the patch did not install well and corrupted a file or files, but I'll carry on with some general observations - I do have have a little tool called 'Power Iso', which is just like Daemon tools, I would uninstall this tool first, at least as a troubleshooting option.

As with the Userva tweak it may not help in this instance, but it is worth knowing about. Zigzag has instructions for removing the driver in his post - BSOD at high memory usage, fltmgr. A bit of fact mixed with urban mythology that may not necessarily be applicable to BF3?

An interesting tweak, and maybe fun to play with, but I would, however make sure that there is an adequate Page File. Some people suggest Page Files are a thing of the past, but I've read a few Read Me files with recent games that still suggest having a Page File. How high you can push the settings and maintain stability does seem to vary from game to game, and if only one game is causing a problem I would be inclined to tweak some setting down.

With your system and BF3 you don't want to use Anti-Aliasing or HBAO for starters, but it would not hurt to tweak down a setting or two that use the cpu too, as both you cpu and gpu will struggle when too high settings are used.

There are a good number of people trying to squeeze too much out of their systems with this game the Nvidia forums were full of people blaming the drivers for their problems.

It may seem the system can handle certain settings, and you may even get playable fps, but this does not indicate that the settings will not catch up with the system. As an example. I get fps consistent , which to my eyes is a playable frame rate, but the game will lock-up on occasion and I also had one TDR.

When I lowered the resolution to x the frame rates jump to FPS and there are no crashes. Little wonder there were occasional lock-ups. The VRAM is also stressed less with a lower resolution. In reply to BossDweeb's post on September 12, I removed P-Iso, but it didn't seem to help.
