I'm waiting on a DVD copy of BF3 so not installed Origin or the game or anything so...when installing on SSD would I need to install Origin and the game on the SSD or can Origin go on another drive? What gives best performance? Excuse my noobness but don't really know how origin works..

When you install Origin go in settings and point installed games to a folder on your SSD, that way you can have Origin on one drive and BC3 on another

Does anyone get any kind of ping indication? My connection is buggered so it is crucial I pick the lowest one or I can't play at all. So far there doesn't seem to be any ping indication, which is a bit annoying to say the least.

Someone just please tell me how to install this game.

Right i have downloaded and installed this rubbish origin thing. After silly amount of attempts to get into the account i just created i managed to. Now put my game serial in and now it is constantly trying to download the game.

I haven't bought a hard copy to download the game so how do i install from the disk?

I think it's right, someone mentioned in this thread yesterday saying it looked like it was downloading but was installing from the disk.

I am installing mine from the disk and it says it is downloading at 6.2MB/s. I normally get 7MB on most speedtests.

have you tried searching for the game through origin settings - and browse on c:/ drive.

If you havent bought a hard copy, you will not be able to install from a disk (you dont have one)

You need to sign into origin, goto redeem code, type in your cd key, this will then add BF3 to your origin games list.

Should say ready to download, click to start the download, wait for it to download (its about 11gig), once it has downloaded, click the game to install.

Easy.

Rybo89 · 27 Oct 2011 at 13:43

Yes mate, then it just brings up another origin window and says i am already logged in on another computer.

Where are the good old days of just sticking the disk in, installing then playing? This is stupid.

Rybo89 · 27 Oct 2011 at 13:44

I was just saying i haven't bought a hard copy to have to download the game.

I mean i have a hard copy and i don't want to download it, like it is trying to make me to do.

As mentioned above, it says it's downloading but actually that is the progress of it installing. Just leave it and let it do its thing.

Davepen · 27 Oct 2011 at 13:46

Ahh, didnt understand your language, but have just looked and you're from Chesterfield so all is forgiven

D)

I'm not sure as I purchased through Origin myself.

Are you logged into Origin anywhere else?

It's not downloading, it just says it is. It's really installing from the disk
