Lovely, thank you!

Mines downloading from origin now, should be done in an hour or so. New RAM in and ready to go! I applied to the PH platoon, tag "cpt_braindamage"

[Nasta]

Just added a few of you. Teamsreth

[Spiritual_Beggar]

Right......FINALLY have it installed.

Whoever is in charge...accept my Platoon application...pretty please

Origin ID is; '5piritua1_Beggar'

[YesItsARover]

Doesn't seem to be anyone on the server, had a play earlier on an empty map but got bored

[130R]

Yeah there is nobody on the server at the moment

Anyone figured out how to join as a squad yet? Tried a party of 4, 2 ended up in a squad together and 2 of us in random ones. No way to pick a squad as far as I can see and also no voice coms with your squad if you don't set it up in BL. This is very flawed indeed. Hopefully they will fix it. Actual gameplay is great though!

WTF

Orgin is officially the biggest pile of st ever to be coded, the fking rubbish software locks my PC up completly when I try and open it and guess what the flaps at EA have even said on their website that Origin does not support windows 7 I mean what the hell its not like every fecking PC comes with it at standard or anything.

I WANT STEAM FFS!!!!

Thanks for letting me get that off my chest as the dicks at EA simply dont give a st

[dele]

Not supported on Windows 7?!

Working fine here

And here, so far I haven't had any problems with origin, it downloaded BF3 @ 1MB/s, where as steam was 160KB/s for Deux Ex yesterday. Everyone moaned like crazy when steam first came out, as soon as the wrinkles are ironed out it will be the same.

This is all well and good but then steam had to be made better as a lot of companies use it as a market place. EA isnt exactly the best company in the world when it comes to fixing bugs and issues.

I had serious issues with origin too (win 7 64-bit), try installing it in safe mode.

[FUBAR]

I've installed it and played it but the game does lock up/crash every 3rd game or so. Frikin annoying

Win 7 64 bit

So, who else has launched themselves off the base jump yet?

[Daston]

Well reinstalled Origin and it that works but the stupid thing wants to redownload BF3 even though the game is fully installed! I seriously hope that Valve offer Dice a nice sum of money and temp them away from the crap that is EA

[mackie1]

Are you sure it's not just trying to install the patch? How big is the download? Had no problems with Origin or the game on Win7 64bit. If the game is crashing make sure you've got the latest drivers for everthing. nVidia brought out a WHQL certified driver for BF3 a few days ago, I guess ATI have done the same.

Just installing (hopefully) now after some fun with Origin on W7 64bit. Origin ID is peteb86

Quick update, if you are having issues with the key binding errors, download and install Autokey

http://www.autohotkey.com



It allows you to remap keys to others

here is my script:


q::y
e::u
f::h
tab::b

I can now use the Q, E, F and Tab keys for whatever I want.

If you normally use the y, u, h or b keys then just replace these with a spare key.

No problems with Origin on win7 64 here! Runs great on my 5770! Need to get more action on the PH server

My Battlefield 3 has stopped working at all now

Christ on a bike, EA/Dice do have a habit of fking up new game launches
