Right kids...

Thursday is the day for BF3 on PC! Unfortunately Thursday is also the day I head up to Shepp for the SAU Nationals

So come Monday it'll be game on for me...

So who's pre-ordered? Who's gonna be playing?

I know a few of my mates, and brother are all set to rock and roll. So no doubt a fair whack of you lot are!

I will definately organise a BF3 night for us as my work and life is about to quieten down a little leading into Xmas period so intend on getting back into some games

[Madaz]

Yeah my pre order just came through will pre load as soon as the server allows via vnc

Edit really couldn't of come at a worse time of year

[Madaz]

It's actually available for play now my mate told me a heap of people unlocked it via proxy so ea decided to release it early

God bless proxy

I'm getting 4mb/sec download speed

[EeLeYe]

I've also pre-ordered...

For ps3

Are you positively annoyed friend???

[Madaz]

Nope are you? I've downloaded it via vnc don't even have to pick it up at the shops and it only cost me $44 au for the limited edition one

Oh wait Plus 4mb/sec download speeds

[oweban]

DOWNLOADED BISHESSSS

[Madaz]

Spewn I have to do an oil change and my mate wants to test fit my tyres

[Tangles]

I pre-ordered it from cdkeyempire.com for $35 for the Limited Edition cd-key; hasnt been released to me as yet.

add me if you wish (on PC) - MajorTangles

[Madaz]

i paid a little bit more but i have my keys already and have it downloaded

[bozodos]

ill be there gaiz, usual tag of bozodos on Origin

it's not out for Aus yet either, if you're that desperate you could VPN to South Korea or something like that

just installed the newest Nvidia drivers for it (since the beta ones were making my machine hard lock up in everything!)

[Madaz]

yeah i might go see if i would be better off with newer drivers unlike our console counter parts

[bozodos]

just lifted this from the OCAU thread, and have gotten it working on mine for early access:

Control Panel -> Internet Options -> Connections -> Lan Settings (Bottom of the Panel)

Tick "Use a proxy server for your LAN" Address: 210.107.100.251 Port: 8080

Click Okay. The via ORIGIN start BF3 and it'll unlock. Then untick "Use a proxy server for your LAN" and you are good to go.

[Madaz]

mine is working thanks to those instructions

thanks Bozodos

those one windows 7 some easier steps start -> Run -> Internet Options (follow rest as per guide above)

[bozodos]

pity it keeps f**king locking up; not sure if game or hardware issue

[Madaz]

IM HAVING TROUBLE GETTING IT INTO ENGLISH

oops sorry just been editing the registry

[Madaz]

sweet going through the registry worked stupid patch love my PC

[liger]

pre-rdered the limited edition, just waiting for it to ship.

[SoFreshSoClean]

My stupid CD key site says I won't get my key till the 27th.

This is, in reality, a good thing as it will prevent me failing this week's uni exams

I'm sherbert86 on origin if anyone wants to have a game over the weekend though

[bozodos]

haha I was wondering why you keep playing the Russian version Madaz!

Turns out that something to do with my GTX 460 SLI setup is causing an issue; solid as a rock on one card!

Single player is pretty good, but too scripted for my liking, multiplayer is fkn AWESOME! (would have liked more destruction but I guess there are limitations to that)

[Madaz]

not sure if it still says im playing russian but its actually in english

yeah having a look @ a coop game now
