I don't believe so. Just "Security fixes".
Re: Any plans for new patch releases? (R17)
I think I read (but haven't found it yet) that it closes some security holes that were allowing the global kill hack.

The hackers are still there.
We ran 28 hours straight on R17 and it finally crashed hard last night.

Battlefield 3 R17 Server Released, DICE Cracking Down on Cheating [ Comment ]
Wednesday, 11 January, 2012 at 16:21 PST | ^Scott^ | Print News
DICE released a server side update today (R17) for Battlefield 3, which fixes several cheat exploits allowing hackers to mass kill players. A post on the Battlefield Blog states they have banned a batch of several hundred confirmed cheaters recently and will continue to hunt down cheaters. DICE reminds players that you can go to a suspected cheaters profile on Battlelog and click the report button marked by a triangle with an exclamation mark.
In our continued effort to minimize cheating in Battlefield 3, we recently banned another batch of several hundred confirmed cheaters based on your reports and our player behavior data.
At DICE, we will never tolerate cheaters. Life on the battlefield can be harsh, especially when you’re up against the fantastic flying duo. But it should never be a case of you losing because someone is outright cheating.
We have always taken cheating seriously. Starting today, we will further intensify our efforts to hunt down and rid Battlefield 3 of cheaters. Stats wiping and banning this disruptive minority is the only way they will understand that they are ruining the game for others. We do this for the millions of dedicated players out there who deserve a fair game, every game.
If you believe you have been the victim of outright cheating, the best way to report your concerns is to go to Battlelog, enter the profile page of the person you suspect and click the triangle in the top right corner of his name.
This will open up a window where you can describe to us at DICE what happened. Please enter as much detail as possible, describing what specifically makes you believe this player has used unfair methods, and preferably include a link to the Battle Report for the match in question.
These reports are then received by our analysts here at DICE who will do a deeper analysis of the situation and take appropriate action, including stats wiping and/or banning players who are confirmed as cheating.
Reducing the number of cheaters is an ongoing endeavor, and one that we will never stop. Thanks for your co-operation, and see you on the battlefield!

So, what's up with the server crashes on the high ticket servers? Why are they still crashing? We've been running a modified version of the server with extra dumps for them for longer than a month now. It shouldn't take that long to find the problem and fix it, should it? Our Operation Metro server got to a high of rank #2 on GameTracker so I'm pretty sure they've had well than enough dumps to sort things out, right?

MyOdessa, the source for that is an official Battlelog post here: http://blogs.battlefield.ea.com/battlef ... nsify.aspx. Nothing about R17 in that, but it's interesting anyhow.
TimSad, DICE continues to investigate that particular crash and is making progress on it. They were off for a few weeks over the holiday, during which time they did not work on it to a significant degree.

Man, I am getting a lot of angry players over the few crashes per day. DICE better get this sorted out soon... I hate when players assume or accuse my server of being at fault!

We had to put up with horrible lag on almost all the maps last night.
Worst it's ever been.

3 full servers just dumped everyone....
Re: Any plans for new patch releases? (R17)
Pain, could you check to see if the PB client on your machine is going crazy and using tons of CPU? That was a problem for BC2 at times, and it would make sense for it to be happening again in BF3, as they ramp-up anti-cheating efforts. If so, this might help: http://forums.electronicarts.co.uk/batt ... usage.html

ok.
On my pc or the server?
And that link says for XP/2000.
Think it will do the same on 7?

Thanks.
Checked it out, and while the game is running and on the server, I don't see PnkBstrB.exe running in the processes at all.
