Anyone know of how to move Origin game installs about? Is it similar to Steam, just dump the game folder in the right dir? When the BETA starts for us commoners I'd like to download it on my lovely superfast work broadband and take it home, without lugging ~35kg of PC with me

I copied the folder from work. There's an "Origin Games" folder in Program Files. Just copy the folder for the game and transfer over and then install through Origin.

WOW.

Runs sweet here.

Everything on ultra at 1080p nothing below 60FPS!

Neil79 · 27 Sep 2011 at 19:38

I'm surprised I can run medium with just a gtx2xx

Everyone who's saying they're getting good FPS: just wait till it's 64 players and the largest maps!

Anyone tried all low settings just to see how well it scales with the FPS?

Snaggle · 27 Sep 2011 at 19:41

You should be fine!

I know people are saying wait until bigger maps and more people but its smooth as silk now, as a beta with early drivers. I say were going to be OK!

2 days wait for me -_-

The EA chat person is having NONE OF IT

Prince: Hi, my name is Prince. How may I help you?
Dominik Grzybowski: Hi
Dominik Grzybowski: I ordered Battlefield 3 of Origin and even bought Medal of Honor Limited edition and signed up to the beta with the code but still not received the e-mail with my beta code, when everyone ells did
Dominik Grzybowski: I been playing Battlefield 2 since 2005 and bought every battlefield after this..................i feel very left out now and obviously being a nerd. I wasted a sunny day sitting at home pressing F5 in my hotmail account
Dominik Grzybowski: I did not even receive a confirmation e-mail regarding the preorder of BF3 when I preordered from Origin
Dominik Grzybowski: I wonder if that could be the problem
Prince: We understand your excitement for the Early Access as we are equally excited!

Since we received an overwhelming response for early access to BF3, we are still in the process of sending out Emails. If you are eligible to get Early Access Beta Key, you should soon receive an Email in your Inbox or Spam Filter.

If one does not qualify to get Early Access Beta Key, they need to wait till the 29th of September for open Beta.

We understand the anticipation and appreciate your patience.
Dominik Grzybowski: Meh
Dominik Grzybowski: I feel cheated but I guess I will need to wait for 2 more days
Dominik Grzybowski: Can't you magic a beta key from somewhere?
Dominik Grzybowski: you must have magical powers as such?
Prince: I am sorry but I don't.
Dominik Grzybowski: Do you know anybody with special powers higher up?
Prince: You would only have to wait
Dominik Grzybowski: I know you do.....as rumours went out that people even got a 30% discount vouchers....surley you could hack into a spreadsheet and steal a key
Prince: I could provide you a 15 % discount coupon
Dominik Grzybowski: can i sell this back to you for a beta key?

Just use that special imagination of yours to play BF3 beta!

Well the server was laggy and its got hella input lag unlike the alpha, try putting settings to low too.

WingZero30 · 27 Sep 2011 at 19:46

So far from my experience there doesn't seem to be much difference between low and ultra setting.

Ok an update about performance, it seems that the changes I did to graphic settings didn't apply the first time. After launching the game again and joining a server I'm getting 40-50 fps with the occasional dip to the 30's with everything set to ultra + 4x msaa and high quality preset for aa.
