preloading now

cant believe its happening

For a BETA...

 

[drexplora]

Awesome, will preorder later on

Cautiously optimistic for my aging i7-860 and GTX 570.

that was almost my setup for BF3
i7- 870 and a 570GTX
started with a 460gtx back in the BF3 beta but wasn't fully satisfied with performance so I got a 570GTX for release. Became dissatisfied with performance over time once again, so I decided to get a 680gtx 2GB with a lil bonus from work.

Ive have also since OC'd the i7 870 from 2.9ghz stock to 3.5ghz, had to downclock my ram some tho.

I wonder how many hours it will be before someone makes a cracked .exe and is able to launch the game before the 1st. :3

 

[longdi]

preloaded and downloaded in 5mins....i love origins over here...lol!

 

[Timu]

And it's done, bring on October 1st!

 

[drexplora]

And it's done, bring on October 1st!

[Tarin02543]

Lock and loaded.

1/10 10am

 

[Dominican Power]

They won't be giving out keys?

 

[Xyber]

They won't be giving out keys?

What's the point when it's open for everyone on the 4th?

 

[LapinAgile]

So will the open beta just be placed as a demo for XBL and PSN? Or is there additional registration involved?

 

[Eusis]

They won't be giving out keys?

I think it's just premium owners get it early, everyone else on the 4th.

 

[xenorevlis]

It has begun...

Anyone want to join me on BF3? I don't believe I've ever played with GAF before.

 

[Edwards_Omatic]

Hmm an error popped up saying I needed BF3 installed to continue with the pre-load... Goddamit, BF3 is going to take all day with my download speed.
Wish I knew in advance.

 

[Quirah]

I can't even update my Origin. Its slow as hell.

Beta preloaded and ready for business.

My Asus oc'd GTX 560 ti is crying in the corner right now. Gonna milk every last polygone out of her.

I'm surprised it's not already working. The Internet disappoints me!

You and me both. My old OC'd EVGA 560Ti is ready to roll. At least until I can afford a 7970 later in the month

 

[v1lla21]

Omfg I forget how slow origin is for me. It's rare when I get over 1Mb/s.

 

[novenD]

Is the preload only for the October 1st beta or can we start preloading for the one on the 4th as well?

They're going to be the same thing. So...

Many thanks! My buddy missed the boat on Battlefield 3 but he wants to give a proper go now that he has an HDTV.

 

[cobragt4001]

Preload download compete

 

[soulassssns]

Cannot wait.... Preload complete

I'm only rocking the following set up though.

Win 8
A10 5800k @4ghz
4gb DDR3 @1866 mhz
GTX 760 2gb

Luckily my monitor doesnt go up to 1080p lol

 

[Rawket Lawnchair]

I am not getting my hopes up due to it being just a beta. I'm fairly certain I'll re-live the glorious uberlagging and "bf3.exe has stopped working" times of two years past.

 

[Fried Food]

Preloading this biz. If I can't run the beta at a constant 100fps I'll will probably end up getting the game for the X1

"If I can't run it at 100fps, I'll get it on the platform that will run it at 30!"

Best of logic.

 

[strafer]

Pre-load complete.

Now we wait.

In the meantime...listen to this

Damn that's good.

 

[cobragt4001]

Oh man I can't to see how my setup handles BF4.

 

[bidguy]

"If I can't run it at 100fps, I'll get it on the platform that will run it at 30!"

its 60fps on next gen consoles

 

[BigEvilTurtle]

So stoked to run this at low settings on my 7770!

 

[hodgy100]

Got this preloaded already and should run well on my desktop and laptop

Desktop

i5 3770k
8gb DDR3
GTX 560ti

Laptop
i7-4700MQ
8gb DDR3
GTX675M

they actualy perform very similarly when get a new graphics card for my desktop though that will obviously be much more powerful

 

[TheSeks]

Pre-load keeps cutting itself off with errors. But at least I'm nearly done with Origins resume download stuff.

At least it's better than Uplay which doesn't even do pre-loading, so...

its 60fps on next gen consoles

With compromises. And unles your CPU and RAM is badly in need of an upgrade, the only thing you need to worry about is your GPU more than likely if your CPU is fine in BF3.

 

[Killer]

Pre-load complete.

Now we wait.

Amazing.

Is it worth renting a server for the beta? i was thinking about it but i don't know if we have enough people to fill it :/.

I wouldn't do it since there's other servers. GAF-PC rent-a-servers died in BC2 and BF3 within a few months since a bunch of the base was flavor of the month shooter-people.

ah never mind then.

 

[Smokey]

mm 4.60MB/s

 

[strafer]

WHAT THE FUCK?

My countdown just went from 3 hours to 1 day and 3 hours left.

Is this real?

 

[jet1911]

Preloaded. Took me 15 minutes lol

lightboost, son, lightboost.

 

[helipilot22]

almost completed my pre load, come on.

 

[Quixz]

Couldn't bring myself to spend £54.99!!

 

[The Janitor]

Mine is at 1 day 10 hours

 

[MagicWithEarvin]

5.51GB preloading now. Can't wait!

 

[Durante]

Hope my 660ti is still capable. This should let me know if its time to upgrade. At least I know my 3770K is good for a bit longer.

And holy shit, 5MB/s, this preload is going to be done in less than 30 minutes. Kinda impressed with Origin for once.

Origin downloads have been extremely fast forever (since when it was called "EA download manager"). It's the only service that reliably maxes out my connection.

 

[MagicWithEarvin]

I'm at 40% already - Origin d/l speeds are nice, indeed.

 

[Canis lupus]

You can pre-load? Nice, looking up my datacap hoping I'm not about to hit the limit as it usually happens at the end of the month.

 

[legacyzero]

I'm at 40% already - Origin d/l speeds are nice, indeed.

One of the great things about Origin. I literally JUST clicked my download to start and I'm already at 10%.

Step it up Gaben!

 

[stef t97]

Origin downloads have been extremely fast forever (since when it was called "EA download manager"). It's the only service that reliably maxes out my connection.

It's really fast when it works. Downloads keep pausing every few minutes for me. It's a pain in the arse but at least my speeds are good.
