Battlefield 3 thread - Server details in opening post -

Oh well only another four days to go for me Wish I had fast internet to download from origin. Did originally pre-order from origin a few days ago, but after 12 hours downloading and just 25% into the download it decided to quit. Oh well pre-order cancelled and got a refund, guess I will wait for the postman. But you lot making me jelous at the moment, think its best for me to avoid this thread for a few days

I give up.

Did you install the plugin when using chrome? Works fine for me.

Nothing came up. Restarted the browser 5 times and nothing requiring a plug in, just non stop loading :/

 

[Gackt]

The game has unlocked for me and it's loading up. Is it usual for the maps to take a while to load?

 

[Tonytank]

All I get is Origin completely in Korean, and then a web page at the origin store completely in Korean.

Does anyone know what program I have to add to get this game working with the steam overlay?

 

[Deluxe1]

Finding it very laggy at the moment.

start > control panel > internet options > connections > lan settings > enable proxy > 203.232.208.116 8080 > authorize game > disable proxy > play

It won't work, or at least will not do properly. Try adding the BF3 desktop icon to Steam and see if it does or not.

Why do I see Anuraj playing Fifa12 while rest of Origin friends are playing Battlefield 3.

He doesn't seem bothered at all by all this BF3 excitement


Anuraj if you read this post, please let us know

AFAIK Anuraj is way to young to be playing BF3.

Tomorrow US, Friday UK so no But if you get it on origin u can play now if u use a proxy to activate it

Lagging and crashing is down to the servers. Try {SAS], theirs was perfect for me. Just on 64 players servers now.

On the beta multiplay.co.uk servers were the best.

Runs much smoother than Beta still have Vram issues however even at 1650x1080 so have to have Textures on high and AA off.

Is it me or have they turned the contrast down slightly wasn't blinded quite as much on Caspian as it was on the Beta?

Also i think the sound is better than the beta the tank firing sound is a lot different.

Oh and theyve nerfed the tank smoke only throws out a tiny bit now

Argh! Fair enough.. I thought it would be a world wide release.

 

[Tonytank]

Do I have to have already brought it from origin. Or can I pay for it now and download?

 

[Gerard]

They actually removed the ladder from the antenna on caspian so you can't climb it, wtf.

BE ADVISED: Me too!

I'm really not scared about the ramifications of this. I read from a quote on the dice forums earlier which was essentially:

"We strongly advise against it." - Well, they would say that wouldn't they!

Woo Hoo!
