    Hello, Im rfactor driver and Battlefield soldier too.

    Only want to report the thousands of crashes that Origin and Bf3 have because of this needed connection between them.

    Think you are working hard to make a better connection software than Dice and Ea have made with Origin. A crash in a battlefield game dont mind, because can reconect and continue playing. But a crash in a driving simulation game its a disaster.

    Im very unhappy with the connections Origin<->Bf3 , and now suddenly think about connections of matchmaker<->rFclient and get afraid ...

    We'll see how it works in beta, it will not be removed, that's a fact.

    Plus I think its fair to say BF3 will have tons more players playing on line at any given time than RF2 will have!

    Yes BF3 have more players, but that´s not the question. The question is can not connect directly to the server.

    Now all the BF3 servers are online. People who start playing two hours ago still online, but new clients can not play because of Origin is down ... and I thought ... rFactor!! ...

    Im still waiting to Origin get up and join a server since two hours ago, and two friends are playing :(

    The MM is only used for setup. After that you are directly connected to the server and nothing runs through the MM. So if the game crashes mid race that has nothing to do with the MM service. It could be a problem though if the MM is down and you can't join your league's server at the start of the race. Lets hope the MM is stable. The current MM goes down but not that often.

    It`s not a big joke when they have like 6 million customers that want to use the matchmaking service at once, i doubt rF2 will get that amount of "traffic".

    People are impatient.

    Yeah, this is ridiculous...its crying wolf if ever I've heard... there have been MANY matchmaking services that run fine--bf2:BC, halo. All other criticism aside, even iracing, which is run entirely through their own servers (not just connecting at startup) regularly runs without a hitch. Much ado about nothing at the moment, really.

    I love Origin/BF3!!

    Because of Origin loading times + BF3 loading 2 times with each session, i learned to play the guitar!

    Every security implementation goes against user friendliness and every feature you add to the game is one thing more that can go wrong. It's a fact we have to accept

    All we can do is put faith in ISI magic to make things work.


    Don't forget we will have an open beta, something that has become less and less a norm in the game industry. Hopefully all the problems will get fixed in that period.
