Just to give people a warning about GMG, I and one other member had a problem with it last night when ordering the game:

Pretty poor service tbh and I was quick in acting on this as well and it still won't be resolved till later tomorrow probably.

A mixture of a their problem and the banks problem.

I am too tired to play multiplayer tonight. Can't even concentrate

So enable proxy, launch game to varify, quit game then disable proxy right?

So fluid on ultra, 2xaa with 11.10 preview 3 drivers. Absolutely delighted.

Also what about the super nova flash lights? Are they much more realistic now?

OK guys.. how big is the download please.. and what's the rate at present from GMG and origin? (I.e. should I cancel my amazon pre-order? lol.

How soon till GMG send a code etc?

GMG sent me and everybody else a code immediately. Nexus had some kind of issue but it is a one off.

They give you a key which you redeem and download in Origin.

I'd be very weary of installing adons for your web browser from some Korean website, which people are suggesting the vpn method requests.

I also expect the VPN is not encrypted so there is potential you may be passing your origin account details to some harvesters.

That all said. - I'm sure its ok, as I assume your only visiting the official EA website - korea ?

ChrisD. · 24 Oct 2011 at 20:14

Can anyone please help with my mouse? LMB does not work in the game and I'm unable to map anything, please!!!

Strife212 · 24 Oct 2011 at 20:16

Eh, I used the VPN, activated the game, instantly disabled it then changed my account password.

Tonytank · 24 Oct 2011 at 20:16

Does Greenmangaming give you a code to put into Origin. Which you can then unlock with the vpn trick??

Scougar · 24 Oct 2011 at 20:16

First of all Thankyou Raven, you the man, it worked a treat and i have played both single player and multi player.

Secondly the game looks stunning, running a gtx480 and q9650 clocked to 3.7 Ghz and it is smooth as a babaies behind, settings are ultra textures, everything else high, except AA, its off on proper AA and medium on post. Have vsync on and so far not a stutter below 60, so much better than beta performance it not true.

So ive just ordered pizza for me and the wife, am off to get some beers in and hopefully am in for a night of BF3 filled fun!!

Angst · 24 Oct 2011 at 20:19

Strife212 · 24 Oct 2011 at 20:21

Not running out of anything here on Ultra.
