Battlelog kept giving me errors. That's about the only issue I had with it last night.

This is why i didnt take today off work. DICE are terrible at launching broken games.

If you would read the actual article, all the listed bugs are extremely minor and most have to do with issues out of Dice's control, like MS c++ needing to be reinstalled, or driver updates, or issues with getting it to launch via steam (which isn't even supported as of yet)

This is easily the smoothest BF launch I've ever seen.

I was pleasantly surprised at the launch, last years BC2 launch was a lagfest and "cannot connect to ea servers" disaster. This year, the worst it got was some rubberband lag for a few seconds every now and then.

I have a cooler master Storm Sentinel..

You probably have a nVidia card right? Rollback your drivers. The BF3 ones are faulty.

I had absolutely ZERO issues with the PC launch. Pre-loaded just fine, unlocked at the time it said it would, and played great for the few hours I played it. No lag, no issues whatsoever. Loving it!
