Battlefield 3

Download complete... and installed :D . Took 7hours @4mbs and no errors. Installed and waiting.

How do I get to the installation files? They seem to have been deleted :mad: Wanted to make a backup on removable drive.

You had to have gone to settings in Origin and told it to keep the install files.. its a checkbox in settings... but I guess its too late unless you want to DL again. :(
 
Did anyone else get unnaturally high DL rates?? It evened out at the end, but for the first hour I was getting 750-800kbs on a 4mbps line.... Our exchange doesn't support 10mb, so I think something went really wrong (or right as I see it).

And yeah Killa, I started throttling my DL and though nah.... I've even tried testing the launcher to see if I can get super early access :D
 
I am taking my copy to work tomorrow so some colleagues can copy and install it, let us see if it works

Yep... found it too late :(
At the current bandwidth prices that could be costly. Will wait until a buddy buys the DVD's and copy that... if possible.

When does the key arrive? Release day?
 
well I am thinking the PRODUCT CODE is your serial, but could be mistaken. (compared my other games' keys and it is the PRODUCT CODE)

so it's not a matter of getting a code, it's a matter of the actual game unlocking due to date restriction.
 
k so I think the heat got to me today :D

today wanted to do the copy for Komp but thought, "hmmmm I have already installed BF3 so not sure how compatible those files will be"; seeing ofc there is an UNINSTALL option in Origin under BF3.

so I thought well I have the installer I can just re-install...

YEAH RIGHT!!!

so I clicked UNINSTALL and what happens... it removes everything :D

I then remember but I never really installed anything, even though I clicked PLAY GAME once it only brought up the DATE ACTIVATION screen, but nothing past that.

so guess what I am doing now??? :p
 
This week will be hell all over. game release on Friday and the battlefield will be a war zone again.

This is going to be a fun packed weekend :D

Now to do all this origin crap...

The painful thing for me is I can't take leave over the releasing weekend!! It opens for us at 01:00 on the 28th according to the "Release date verification" thing.... By the time I get home everyone will be on level 40 :(

I'm sure we'll all bump into one another at some stage over the weekend :)

Would have loved to help. But I just can't wait a whole month. I'll be on the servers 24/7 this weekend :o

if you talking bout the FREE GAME CODE sent by EA, let's hope it works on BF3.

seeing as it is full of sh*t already with some of the games you try to redeem.
 
thats strange it worked on all the games i tried that were not on pre order currently
 
Anyone know if Tygervalley will still be handing the Pre-ordered copies on Friday 01:00AM for the midnight launch.. I got a WoW raid untill 00:00 and then i need to rush and collect my BF3 copy, and hope i can get leave on Friday as well.
