The main use for this program is to remove the infamous blue filter (colour grading) which exists on every map. You can also tweak the brightness, saturation, contrast, and sun lighting to perfect the game’s visuals. We have a video showing how Back to Karkand looks with and without colour grading! Be sure to watch through until the end, as Wake Island is especially stunning!

A screenshot of this program is included below. If you would like to see more, then check out the screenshots page on our BF3 Tools microsite.

Rest assured that we have big updates for both of these tools in the works, and they will be released soon. See the screenshot below for a sneak peek of Battlelog Standalone 2.0!

Battlelog Standalone 2.0 will feature many requested improvements such as the ability to minimise to the system tray, zoom the page, hide the toolbars to maximise space, and more! It will have full hardware acceleration, and will also offer the user a choice of which web browser core to use: the engines of Internet Explorer and Google Chrome will both be available.

Finally, we apologise for the long wait — we have been extremely busy with our various projects!

Here is the full list of changes for this version.

Features:

• Added an option to disable Windows Aero while playing (for performance).
• Added an option to have BF3 Borderless start minimised.

Thanks, and enjoy!

• Added program theme support, with the following themes included:
  • Standard.
  • Dark.
• Added a toggleable fix for freelook, which removes the need for using the “Freelook (Hold)” button.
• Added a fix for the jet brake, where you can separately bind the Light Brake and Heavy Brake / Hover controls for jets, without Light Brake staying bound to S.
• Added a “Fixes” section, where you can read about the included fixes and workarounds for various BF3 problems, including the following fixes:
  • Commo Rose fix.
  • Freelook fix.
  • Jet brake fix.
  • Invert look and flight fix.
  • MAV controls fix.

Fixes:

• Fixed the mouse axis directions which were the wrong way around.
• Fixed a bug where rebinding a control to the same axis it was already bound to, but with a different direction, would not be handled properly.

Improvements:

• When binding an axis to a paired control, you will not receive a message warning you if the paired control is already bound to the same axis (for example, binding look up to the Y axis when look down is bound to the Y axis).
• Removed the warning message added in version 2.1 stating that BF3 doesn’t let you rebind the mouse wheel, as it now does since the R3 client patch.

I’d like to give a special thanks to Jeremy Wong for providing the Chinese translation that is included with version 2.3. The application will default to the same language as your computer, or to English (United Kingdom) if it hasn’t yet been translated into that language. If you want to contribute by translating BF3 Settings Editor into another language, then please contact us!

Below are two screenshots of version 2.3. You can see the usual Standard theme as well as the new Dark theme that we’ve added.

You can download version 2.3 from our downloads page. Please try it out and give us your feedback. We’ll continue to support this program with updates, along with our other tools. Please report any bugs that you find to us, and we’ll do our best to fix them quickly.

Thanks, and enjoy!
