Running win 8 and bf3 (using hd 4800 dark knight vid card and 12.6 win 8 legacy driver) ... 1st had to redo punkbuster to be able to play. It plays fine so far except that when I try to quit the game freezes. If I end task it moves to the background process column and then refuses end task...access denies. I change security permissions to allow everything..and still denies access. restart computer. not exactly an upgrade.

I'm running Windows 8 RTM and BF3 keeps crashing. 🙁 It seems to happen when the action hots up so I guess it's the graphics driver. :s

Should have known better than to upgrade my gaming rig so soon.

What kind of video card are you using? Are you overclocking at all?

Battlefeld 3 on Windows 8 RTM x64 has no problem except recent problems with super high ram usage (97%). This is with a HD6950, 8GB RAM,i5 2500k @ 4.6Ghz, and a beta AMD driver. Play BF3 on W8 but don't download beta drivers.

So you're using the production drivers for Win 7 64 then?

Start Origin and BF3 as administrator + windows 7 compatibility. I haven't tried it myself yet but I read on a BF3 forum that it fixes the crashes. Maybe it fixes the high ram usage too.
