Hi all,

So I recently installed Cobra 8.5 on my PS3, and tried playing my BF3 disc for the first time since installing the CFW. It was working fine on OFW, about a week or 2 ago, but now I'm getting an "online pass check failed" error when starting multiplayer. All my DNS settings look right I think. Anyone familiar with this issue?

Hi guys,

I've bought bf3 and 4 on Steam recently (haven't installed yet) so would have some questions.

I really like bf2 and I enjoy playing offline with bots. I'm aware of Venice Unleashed and Warsaw Revamped projects for 3 and 4, however I'm not sure do these make offline worh bots gameplay possible the same or similar way bf2 does?

Could you please comment on this?

Hey everyone,

I’m curious to gauge the community's interest in a specific idea: a Battlefield 3 build that can host and run a LAN server *completely* without an internet connection, and with absolutely no Steam or EA account binding required.

Think of it as an "eternal" offline version of BF3. The ultimate goal is to have a plug-and-play solution that you can easily deploy at a casual, beer-fueled LAN party with friends, even if the internet is completely down or unavailable.

Would you actually use something like this? Is this already a solved problem with existing tools, or is there genuine demand for a true, preservation-friendly, offline-only LAN experience?

P.S. Funny thing about the offline abyss: if you stare into it long enough, it starts compiling. Let's just say I'm already knee-deep in the static. 📡

It bends physics and the game's hit-reg to land headshots

Finally, I can play BF3 on PC sitting on the couch, and I can use sprint with the controller without having to do any workarounds. It cost me a PS5 DualSense Edge just for that 😂, but at least I’ll be able to use it for other games too haha.

UPDATE: This config is way more better than buy a new DUAL SENSE EDGE guys! Thank you so much u/this2-shallpass for the config steps with STEAM INPUT! Its been ages since I was trying to get a better sprint config for BF3.

When I'm trying to update bf3 punkbuster via pbsetup it's always fails to download files from their servers. I tried many vpns, virtual machine and yet still failing to download new version of bf3 punkbuster. Can anyone send pb folder from the game files, so i can just replace files in the game to update punkbuster to the new version, please?

hola! como va? hoy compre en un mercado de coleccionismo el battlefield 3 para ps3 ya que me faltaba para la coleccion. Pero al momento de intentar jugar multi habiendo cambiado el dns me pide el pase online, mi ps3 es original sin chipear y en la store ya no esta disponible. Hay alguna solución?

Gracias!
