Is everyone else having to activate twice?

Before it installed from the disc it asked me to activate which it did without problem if a little slow.

Then it installed and after I tried to launch it brought up the release date check which failed.

Did the VPN trick and got around that, now when I try to launch it says "Can not activate" even though I thought I already did. Theres a button to reenter my serial, but I just get the spinning logo continuously.

Yep same problem here awel been trying to get in all night was working fine yesterday

I'm putting my 50MB Virgin line to good use tonight.. Have downloaded a massive 2% in about 2 hours! Supposedly there is about another 60 hours remaining.

Mine was as high as 1400 hours earlier today, I don't think it's the ISP it's Origin.

Even installing from the disk takes 45 minutes or so.

Although I haven't got mine yet, I should be able to log in to BattleLog shouldn't I? I can't tell if it's a known issue or not. I see something about can't authenticate people, I'm not trying to authenticate, I just want to look for my server

Jeesuz. You buy a game, a hard copy on DVD, and then you have to wait 3 hours for it to trawl the internet to install it? There really is something seriously wrong with the way things are going with gaming. I'm trying to keep the faith, I really am, but ffs, this can't be right.

McGray · 27 Oct 2011 at 21:33

Origin and BL saying there's a problem with activation at the moment.

Aedus · 27 Oct 2011 at 21:33

I unlocked my beloved M60 on Support, time to go for Assault

Ow man this sucks Battlefield 1942, Vietnam and Battlefield 2 maps were spread out why not do the same on BF3? And let Bad Company have the crappy maps

bcos this time round they realised that all the money is in the COD kiddies, so are making it so you dont go more than 20 secs before encountering another player. 20 secs must be the longest a typical COD player can go before ragequitting bcos theyre bored

Ive been playing 16 man maps and even they are a cluster****. its shame.

Anyone know if the B2K maps are going to have the same capture point spacing as the originals?

PCM2 · 27 Oct 2011 at 21:35

Yes - set BF3 as a favourite and select 'Show: Favourites'. Anybody who ordered on GMG. How do you activate the PWP and Back to Karkand? I haven't been able to activate the game yet so that's not really a bit issue.

Naff8000 · 27 Oct 2011 at 21:36

Need more juice

Having to put everything on medium on my 5850.

AndyCr15 · 27 Oct 2011 at 21:36

Can people log in to Battlelog at the moment?

TriedandTested · 27 Oct 2011 at 21:37

Anyone else have the issue that some of the audio (voices, promotion music, etc) is too quiet?

Boge · 27 Oct 2011 at 21:37

Wow. Just got a prompt to insert disc 2. Like Wow. Thanks!

I wouldn't mind so much really but my DVD drive sounds like a bloody Dyson

Kainz · 27 Oct 2011 at 21:37

As with the beta, the game is still unplayable in MP. I get some crazy stutter/sticking lag that just makes moving forwards a nightmare. This is on a 12gb, 5ghz i7 too :/

I can, was hoping for early activation but still saying 00:00 for me.

Heh, took me a good half hour to install from DVD once my activation code was accepted, now there's a 500MB patch to grab over my rickety adsl line.

Finally input the key and get the message "This key has already been used". Wonderful.
