Just had a good match on OcUK server to see if the server is full muppets or decent people who know how to play, it came to my surprise that i had a decent match so added the server to my favourites.

Is that what people in the UK have in their PC game boxes? I have two pieces of paper. One with the bonus code on and something else advertising EA Gun Club. Nothing else. Checked for stickers in the game box, on the CD and nothing.

Is the bonus code also the game serial?

i have a white piece of paper with instructions and code at the bottom.
then a karkand code telling me my serial has the pack attached by default
and some gun club ********

1 code only for everything in the LE edition.

All was fine until I started to get "kicked by server admin". It happens everytime I join about 1 minute into the game. Nevermind, hopefully it will be sorted soon.

Glad I activated using the Korean VPN trick anyways

Do a manual PB update - worked for me.

So the supermarket I pre-ordered with have cancelled my order the day before the official release date of the hard copy version. Just great. Only reason I ordered it through them was they were the cheapest. Can only assume it's due to them not being able to fulfil their pre-orders as they had already taken the money from my bank account.

Should have just stuck with my gut instinct and bought the digital download version.

Getting this now.

NOTICE!
Origin is currently experiencing issues with game activation.

We're aware of this issue, and are working to resolve it as soon as possible. We apologize for the inconvenience.

LOL beaten to it

Looking forward to playing this all day, as others had been able to activate either by VPN or because EA have allowed it. Typical that the day my disc version arrives the activation servers fail.

It's not just players that need to update.

Servers do as well, if they haven't updated the server then you'll get booted too.

Just been on TFU server - full of RPG faggots. Seriously, 90% of deaths were from RPGs. You should loose points for killing people with RPGs.

Yeah i agree, Although BF is more fun with team mates and vent, The amount of idiots around that dont revive or push up when people around them are is amazing.. I guess with the amount of people using lmg's and killing you in 1 second its no wonder people sit behind rocks scared to move.

OCUK server is awful.

overclick · 27 Oct 2011 at 20:13

Did it show on the origin site somewhere i could pre download bf3? I'm sure i did so bought it and no option to start downloading showing as release. Kind of annoying as when i get home tomorrow it will be virgin peak rules so **** download rate wont have the game until saturday. If i had of known I would have bought from game on the way home installed the majority from disc and get to play providing they sort their issues out.

So you have the standard edition and two codes then? Cause I have no white piece of paper at all. The only code I have is for the limited edition content on a coloured PC of paper which says what items you get in the physical warfare pack.

This is like back to the old days of PC gaming. No we don't have mess about with fiddly menus to get our sound card to work, but you have to find your cd key and then somehow activate it through EAs broken servers which are only going to get more busy tomorrow!

I knew I should have just bought this digitally and at least half of the problems wouldn't be there then.
