Good news everyone!
I've found a nice little tip:

1) Create a new (or use the old) shortcut to BF3.exe.
2) In the normal shortcut box, append "-something" sans quotes. Yes, -anythingyouwant will work.

What this does is trick BF3 into thinking it's been presented with arguments and has the result of only going and loading the fucking Main Menu for singleplayer which includes...the options menu!

Been nice to know that before the game was released.

Edit: Also, make sure you play a round Today and/or Tommorrow as you get automatic entry into the sweepstake:

I confus. How is that different to launching the campaign from Battlelog?

The Grand Prize is a round-trip visit to DICE in Stockholm, Sweden for one player and three of their squadmates for three nights. Included in the visit is a tour of the state-of-the-art studio and an introduction to the development team behind the award-winning game. The second prize is $5,000 USD in cash

I'll take the second place prize, ta.

God damn it, my screen keeps going completely black randomly and it has green lines flickering across my screen. Come out with those fucking drivers already nvidia

's not, just a bit quicker as you don't have to load Battlelog to play Campaign or alter settings.

See if there's newer firmware/BIOS available for your card, that sorted my problems. Changing the driver didn't help me at all.

Do you have the 285.79 ones released 2 days ago?

Anyone fancy giving Skyrim a rest tonight and trying to get our server filled?

I'm off out for a meal with my family but should be up for a game when i get back, probably about 11ish.

Can do.

If I can, I certainly will!

Sign me up! (As long as skyrim is finished downloading!)

Should be about 9 for me, once Sprog is settled and sleeping.

Nice to see your server bursting full of goodness, some good players on there as it goes - even now, although not full there was still some tight games on there. Fingers crossed a few people remember the name and come back to it.

It did fill up briefly, but the map changed and about 9 people left. Map cycle needs some work still, but at least we're getting decent numbers in now.

Auto balance possibly a bit broken.

I think it only kicks in between rounds.

Along with autobalance, is there a team scramble function? That could be quite handy.

Is anyone else having troubles loading the game up? I cant get on any severs or even the SP campaign.

I don't know of an option for that.

I couldn't get on any servers last night, just kept freezing on "joining server...".

I had that last night

Killing windows defender seemed to help, as did closing daemon tools.
