Order Confirmation from Game

dakaiez · 23 Oct 2011 at 20:11

Wohay 4th time lucky, game downloading much better now and when it errors out it doesn't delete the files anymore due to a work around posted on the EA forums.

So will actually get the game completely downloaded now.

It is a bit weird how battlelog opens the 25th yet the korean unlock is the 24th. Just have to wait and see what happens i suppose.

its not the 24th, if your using a korean ip via vpn then set your pc time to korea too (seoul +9) and it will say the correct release time.

Can you explain how to do this? I can find 'configure proxy server' in Windows 7 but it's nothing alike what you have there.

Control panel>>Internet options>>connections>>lan settings, check use a proxy server and hit advanced, input your proxy data. To disable simply uncheck the use proxy option.

Those are the Internet Explorer connection settings. You can reach them over the control panel\internet settings\connections, then click on "use a proxy" and then advanced. I'm not entirely sure about the terms since I am german and have a german windows.
Anyway, this is the earliest release date:

Tuesday, October 25th 12:01am Korea Standard Time (GMT +9)

Brunei, Cambodia, Cocos Islands, East Timor, Fiji, Guam, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Korea, Laos, Macau, Malaysia, Mongolia, Myanmar, Northern Mariana, Philippines, Singapore, Sri Lanka, Taiwan, Thailand, Vietnam

So if you happen to be in one of those countries (or are using an ip address from one) you will get the game on 12:01 Korea Standard Time, which happens to be 16:00 Uk time.

Ps3 owners really love Rush it seems 0_o. Had to laugh at the cheeky git in the supercorba trying a road kill.

I understand console players enjoying rush more than conquest. I have BC2 on PS3 as well as PC and conquest just isn't as fun on console for some reason, I honestly can't say why.

maps look lovely, is it just me that is gettin all hot and sticky about 64 conquest on the night map, long weekend booked off work for the release and CANNOT wait!

if you have pre ordered the hard copy of the game and you get it on thursday will origin let you play it before midnight???

Gerard · 23 Oct 2011 at 20:45

That second vid i posted theres one part where the tank goes down to 55% health and it repairs itself back to full again, whatever hapened to the damage needing to be light to get an auto repair? You can see it around the 12:25 mark after it gets hit by a shell.

Vehicles are weak anyway, the tank gets disabled at 50% is it? regen is not a problem.

spookywillow · 23 Oct 2011 at 20:50

lower than 50% no regen, over 50% you get regen

No.

That's how it was in the beta, 50% and above will auto repair to full health. Or lower than 50% if you have the fire extinguisher I believe.

Didnt use the tanks much in the beta, i do however recall that the auto repair was only if a vehicle took light damage, seems that idea got kicked in the head 5 minutes after it was announced =/

You pointlessly improved their cash flow and worsened yours...like a boss.

You do realise that you're not charged until release week/day?
Besides, I got it for £14.99

Win win either way.
