discussion Battlefield 3

[Meta|Gear]

I got my beta key but I get the "an error has occured with your setup please reinstall"

Downloaded it twice from origin and still nothing not sure if it's my rig or the game

I'm running
Q6600
4gb ram
Gtx260 (216)
Vista

It's weak but should run BF3

hit ctrl alt del, open task manager, kill EAProxyInstaller, then continue the update

This was a huge issue on the EA forums, seems to be mainly Vista for most people with issues. Make sure you meet the minimum requirements.

As Supa and I were disscussing in irc it would help the ppl posting "can i run bf3", threads if we compiled a list of what fps ppl are getting with there hardware and res.

It would be better if a thread was dedicated to that, and to force people to post only specs and results in that thread. No discussion, only hard numbers.

Starting to get a little pissed off, still no key, and 3rd attempt at getting Origin/EA live help. All in all over 7 hours of waiting for a help representative. Why did I pre-order?

Adjustable field of view is awesome. All those settings really do make it seem like a true pc game. Will post results in the other thread tomorrow.

i read you need to allow Origin to launch your browser to let you launch the game? Is that right? Could theey have made it any more convoluted? FFS

When you can use it.

We should get a platoon going. ANyone interested?

 

[Cptn Vortex]

Got through after 8 hours of waiting for Origin Live Help! Alot of good that did me :

Jarrod:
I thank you for your patients.
Jarrod:
We do not have any codes at this moment.
Jarrod:
I do apologize.
Jarrod:
But we are getting more.,
Jarrod:
Please if you can check back with us through out the day and your email and you should be getting one.


THANKS EA! (sarcasm....)

Thanks installing SP2, never did it, Vista is such garbage I figured it would only make it worse

Hopefully this fixes it
