love it when you fancy a quick game, only to find out you got a 4gig update to download first

Aftermath

 

[ants83]

not as annoying as having the update and not being able to play the new expansion. oh well its not the 4th yet i guess

I was just about to post how annoying it is that you must download DLC that you don't own.

i agree, its rather pointless!

I thought this was the patch for Aftermath, and we download the actual DLC tomorrow? That's what I saw from quite a few people on Battlelog.

Aftermath, they are adding the innovative exploding crossbow, and a survival mode that totally isn't just a 10 year old normal mode.

4gig update np when you got 100mb line

Doesn't Steam apply updates automagically without you having to launch the game at all. So much more convenient than having to watch a loading bar.

I just found out that I do hate it If they could have forewarned me I could have updated when I am in bed. Not when I want a quick blast.

 

[FallshirmjAEger]

Arrgggghhhhh I just ran origin....why does it need admin privileges??? Oh wait nvm

 

[Dickyb0b]

always check origin before you go to bed, that way you can leave it to download while you sleep , no waiting needed...

Good advice, however origin needs to be more customer friendly giving you the option to update or not.

I would imagine that even if you don't buy any of the expansions you will still need to have some of the graphical/sound assets for when you pick up kits off the ground. That's probably what the first 4 gig patch was. Seems a lot if that is the case I know but I would guess that is the main reason.

np when you don't touch this ****e.

Glad it's not just me that had this then...last night I thought I'd have a quick blast and instead was going to have to wait for about 8 hours (the joys of rubbish internet connection!!!)

Decided to try something on Steam instead only to be told by every game that it needed to be converted to a new format... 15 minutes later while waiting for something to finish converting I had given up and watched some rubbish on tv!!

ps how much is it to upgrade to premium from standard BF3? If I'm having to download all the expansions I suppose I might as well be able to play them...
