If its 9pm est it's 6 pm for us. Fingers crossed, there has to be some trade off for being three fucking hours behind. (I'm not bitter at all about having to start work at 6am to match eastern business hours) |

I checked EB, its out now for sale, though Im wondering if you can play Single Player if you bought the PC version as if you buy the store packaged game cd, and the people like us who downloaded it for PC can't access the game/servers then they'd have the game sat at home for a good couple of hours now before they can play it. Seems a stupid way of doing it, really should just make it available once the day hits the 26th.. seems easier to manage that way. Just checked on my PC, it doesnt pass the key activation part when running, meaning can't access anything at all until they open that time. Guessing the console has free reign to access everything.

I've always felt you should get a loyalty bonus for buying the digital version and get it a day at least before retail. Then if release date is broken (which it always is on these big releases, except for with M$ games - and even then, mostly it is) then you're no worse off. It does suck to buy digital and then be stuck unable to play, while if I had just waited in bought in the shops I could have played early. But then again - in the scheme of things, there's other things more important I guess. |

Who on here bought via Origin and lives eastern seaboard side? I want to confirm the time shown in the Origin activation side of it is localised time, I read somewhere it is. Marcus? Branden? Blue, not sure if I added you to the OSG squad/clan thingo via Battlelog, I added Blitz and made him an OP so he can invite people I think, from what I gather you had to be online in the battle log browser when I invited you rather than via the Origin App.. but anyway Ill fire through invites to everyone who has it on PC. Unless they fixed the battle log and it imports my friend list into it - http://battlelog.battlefield.com - Logged in here and checked, but shows "none of my friends have registered on battle log yet". EDIT: Nevermind Ill have to recreate it, they reset everything including platoons and stuff Edited by JAMSIN, Wednesday Oct 26 2011, 07:25 PM.

Go to control panel > Network Connection Center > internet options > connections >LAN settings >Under proxy server , select "use a proxy".... and copy paste the following address: 210.107.100.251 Port: 8080 Click ok and start the activation via Origin. Then its activated. Go back to the above settings and turn OFF the proxy setting and its now working and activated ![]() Uses the Korean Proxy since they got it early its activated the account for you now.

You won't get banned. someone posted in the EA something or other stating EA don't care, they allow it. since its not hacking, you're just using another proxy for your browser which has effectively used another time/date. I think its 9pm local time too, so midnight EST. |

Hows the game on Xbox for those who got it? Seems like PC servers are laggy as.. as if its got a memory leak or something. |

Hey BLitz when you do play see if it 'micro-stutters' I'm interested to see if you get it. Apparently theres a lot of issues with the game being a bit jittery, I've lowered settings to no avail so its gotta be the game or some people saying its the "hyper threading" that you need to turn off in the bios, which Im not about to test cos i can't be arsed messing with bios stuff that I don't need to. |

Sounds ominous. I won't be able to play til this arvo. Hope I don't get the stutters. The beta played fine though except for those white flashes when I had settings at ultra, so I'd be surprised if they broke the engine for hyperthreading between beta and now. Unless they added some poorly optimized code that's locking up a core/thread maybe... If I get it, I'll try monitoring it with aida64. |

Well the newest 285.62 drivers for Nvidia cause Ultra settings to glitch on the shadows. Seems its a global issue with the stuttering, their forums are alive with people posting stuff on them about it. Not sure if its an i7 issue or what, but the beta ran really good on auto detected 'medium' settings this one seems to have issues now. pretty much like this.

Hm. someone else said "Ambient Occlusion" is the problem and turning it off helps. This is the problem with PC games, too many variables in the mix to know what really is the issue or is it down to bad optimisation on the developers part. If i mess with any settings and they do patch it then you never know if it was you or them at fault. Oh and flying a jet and 'little bird' chopper is SHOCKING.. probably some bad lag/netcode or something but its like juddering worst than on foot when flying, it used to do it in BF2 but Im betting thats something to do with the lag or connection rate at the time. A10 Warthog's chain guns sound awesome ripping overhead, like the real thing. Edited by JAMSIN, Thursday Oct 27 2011, 10:25 AM.

xbox is fine. it even has a PROPER server browser, you can choose what server you want to play on, save your favourite servers etc etc |

Yeah I heard they did that. Seems to work fine on PC except for the lag. I turned the settings down last night but didn't reboot the game/computer so maybe that helped. Although I'm curious if its a problem with switching servers now and then and the game not releasing memory correctly. Personally I'd prefer to have an ingame browser than have to load the game up each time you switch servers etc. |

The variability is the one thing I dislike in PC gaming, but at least it isn't like the old days where you had to configure bat files, use memory extenders etc etc. |

Yeah its not as bad as back then, but its still almost similar, what with all the varying configurations of systems and background apps running, its almost like a puzzle to solve the smallest issue. Thankfully I rarely get any other than the minute stuff such as what I mentioned in here. Servers are down for maintenance atm anyway so hopefully they're fixing this stuff as we speak. Its good fun though so far, much nicer on PC anyway the realism in audio and visuals is a nice change than pixellated shit on console (like MW/COD games). Its challenging when checking corners etc and having the sun glare in your face. Snipers though seem to be better now with the glare only showing upon them scoping towards you and not active all the time. Makes taking that shot risky still but more realistic. Choppers aren't too bad, though if someone hits you with the portable SAM RPG you can lose engine control or rotor controls and have issues flying straight etc so its gotten better than just blow the chopper out of the sky type scenario, makes it challenging trying to find a good landing spot while spinning out of control. |

Ok I'll bite, is this game any good? Would only be thinking of it for xbox. Can't find any info on an upgrade system is there one? Does the vehicle combat stand on it's own? Never played a bf game before any info is helpful, thanks. |

Think COD games but with vehicles and better larger scale maps.
