I'm fedup with Origin. I'm contemplating cancelling my pre-orders.

My origin account has totally disappeared.

10gb isnt too bad, 20gb would mean having to uninstall a few other things, as im quickly running out of space on my hdd. Need to get a 1tb hdd for non essential games.

Do it sooner rather than later.

And he disconnected on me.

I'm cancelling my pre-orders, that's if they exist anymore.

Surely from the order number, they can see which email account it was sent to and then fix it or are we just thinking too fast for them.. :eek:

In terms of Frostbite, DICE uses vehicles, but not in the same way in as you guys do, right?

Yeah, so we collaborated with DICE on getting a very deep racing mechanic of handling physics into the game. We did a cross-studio development on the Frostbite 2 engine that we're using. And yeah, it was a lot of collaboration and work with them to get things like our road tool, which is our internal tool that allows us to build a track very quickly.

I'm quite literally bamboozled by the whole affair.

Now I have one question pending, but I can't actually see it.

Robert · 20 Oct 2011 at 20:55

I've just phoned EA support and got disconnected. It's getting quite funny now.

Rainforest store are selling for ~£31 with "guaranteed" release day delivery - a lot of retailers are now actually having to decline/warn people of possible delays on delivery because of huge demand.

In my opinion I would purchase it from Origin. I had my BF3 pre-order with Play, then Game, then OcUK and now finally with Origin - with the pre-load being released tomorrow even with terrible internet you'll be hard pushed not to have it downloaded and ready to go for release minute, not day

I just got through to their American CS and I may as well have shot myself in the face.

Robert · 20 Oct 2011 at 21:31

I've just spent 20 sodding minutes on the phone to some American who sounded stoned off his ****.

He actually managed to cancel my order, i'll be putting a block on my account.

I had to spell my e-mail address 4 times.
