If any one gets the patch from some one else and installs it manually pls let us know how it goes. Im picking the patch up from some one on saturday but would like to know if it does work.

Tried copying and pasting into the 'Update' folder in the Battlefield 3 folder but Origin doesn't pick it up. It starts downloading from the beginning :/
 
Yay!
We can now kill the Antenna on Caspian Border.

It just killed me (damn you antenna) and I was almost in the river near (B).
Epic to see it fall :)

Edit: seems like it falls if one team gets to 20 tickets remaining.

Meh, couldn't get it to work at all. Going to have to download it :/

Tried pasting the contents of the Update folder into \Battlefield 3\Update, tried pasting it to \Origin Games\Battlefield 3. My BF3 install isn't in the Origin Games folder though - maybe that has an effect.

Go into origin, settings and set BF3 to keep install files, specify the folder you copied the update into as the one you want to use, restart your pc :)
Mine still downloaded 133MB

It's working! Also have to download the 133MB, whatever that is. Atleast it isn't 4GB!

Thanks man!

You, sir, deserve a truck filled with beer and women! You've saved me one hell of a wait...
 
What have you guys set your network interpolation to?

This issue is causing major confusion for most people...

STUPID FREAKING ORIGIN.

Left it to update all night. PC didn't crash, origin was open the whole time. Internet was fine. Come back and it wants to start all over again. FML.

Stupid freaking game. Waste of my time effort and money.

Why can't they just make it downloadable patch separate from Origin. So that I can download it with a download manager or torrent it or something.

Stupid stupid stupid.
 
I have to say though the changes are really nice, the most noticeable one for me is the chat box, no longer takes up space on your screen, i barely even notice it now.
