@WingZero30 They gave you that coupon just for using the live chat thing?

Gerard · 21 Oct 2011 at 16:25

I've heard 2 different stories now regarding my preorder, one guy saying i wasnt charged as they dont charge till just before release, another saying the charge is made as soon as the prorder is submitted. Bloody annoying.

Yup

)

diverse180 · 21 Oct 2011 at 16:29

Nvidia hasn't released their new drivers yet (supposedly before bf3 launch for the next set) and no one has played the updated game yet. Just have to wait and see.

I'm in the same boat, i was told we are supposed to be charged when you order it however i am yet to have money taken from my bank.
It may get charged on the Wednesday or Thursday.

Origin is much faster than Steam I think. When I downloaded the BF3 Beta it had no problems capping my Virgin 100mb line at the same 12.6 MB/s, where as Steam can vary wildly from 2-8 but has never managed to take the full bandwidth.

diverse180 · 21 Oct 2011 at 16:44

Forget the emails and just download it

Origin is telling me I need an updated version of windows to install BF3? I'm on Win7x64 (legit copy) fully updated.

As much as I hate to breakup the extremely interesting posting of screenshots of download speeds, is this happening to anyone else or have they heard of it happening to anyone else. Getting through to live support is going to take a while. The beta worked fine.

Tried updating origin? There was an update last night and one today for me.
