Other General Battlefield 3 discussion thread

I downloaded it this morning and it still not working for me. Bored waiting now.

 

Same here.

 

Just downloaded it and it works fine, what problems are you lot having?

 

Anyone who downloaded early it seems is unable to play. It's not even listed in my game details.

Thinking of deleting the expansion files to redownload them.

Edit those expansion files arent even on my system it seems.

 

Mines just preparing an update linked to Armoured Kill. I don't even see this new expansion in the list of possibilities..

Are we sure it's today?

 

I'm playing right now so yes.

I'll jump in the CPC server if it's gets busy, haven't played BF3 in a few months now so can't wait to see how **** I'll be.

 

I'll be jumping on in about 30m time! Big download! Better look gorgeous!

 

Yep, doesn't show up in my game details. Try to join a server and it says I need to install the Aftermath expansion. Origin says my game is up-to-date.

 

I thought I'd downloaded it already with the previous patch so I just jumped in an AM server and it started to download the files for me. Worth a try.

 

Hmm, just clicked repair install and it's now downloading a further 2.5gb.

Well that finished and Aftermath still wasn't showing. Restarted Origin and it's now downloading the 3.89gb patch for the 3rd time! Aftermath is showing up in my game details now though.

 

Got mine working at last. Just spammed all kinds of different options, pressing the update button in battlelog with origin open/not open etc etc.. Eventually it just changed my origin page all of a sudden and went off to get the download.

Result.

 

Just downloading it again now.

Mumble?

All working.

Plus CPC Server is full.

 

Just had some fun on two of the 4 maps. Damn I'm really loving the one with the little birds!!! Tanks seems to be a bit of a waste of time imho, for the simple reason that you are very exposed, and there are very limited paths you can take, nevermind how rough the ground is in parts, you pretty much can't use sprint. Or at least that's my outlook after getting in a tank once so far.

 

just wanted to tell the bit-tech people what worked for me... restarting my computer got origin into a good mood and its downloading now, after various attempts today to get it started.

 

xfactor of rivaL fame was tweeted about a "cheet-o-meter", you came up with 0.1% likelihood of hacking, some of us got 20.8% . To put this in context, the big cheese xfactor is like 2%.

I think we all know who does and doesn't hack. Wait wut!

PS: Huzzah for the Infinites

 

This is BRILLIANT so far!

 

Yup, The issue I am finding is our server is 64 players at the moment and it doesnt really work all too well with that amount.

 

Aside from the lag, I think its brilliantly chaotic!

 

Heh

Also seeing a hell of a lot of bans this evening. Think the CPC server/PB Update is now streaming details to PB. So they are getting global bans.

I.E Packets not being sent, and also PB B not working or something.

Quite amusing to be honest as such things could be seen as hacking or attempting to block PB sending data.

 

That's pretty hilarious tbh and it gives you some nice stats to boot. I got 1% dead on myself.

Cheers all for the games last night, I'd definitely missed the atmosphere and many lols of mumble+bf and I'll surely be around for more ownage, more often!

Tonight, for example..

OH AND TELLTALE, I CAME 1st In 5 out of 6 of my first maps back after 2 months - TAKE THAT FOR YOUR SKILL -> RAGE CALCULATION!111!!1"r3r23
