My BF3 nightmare continues


I tried to play BF3 today after leaving it for a while, now it appears the game is not installed any more according to Origin. I think it is a patch. Trouble is, it is over 3 Gigabytes in size!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What is there to say that is good about that for any reason!

Correction it looks to be more than that!!! 40% network utilisation on a 100Mb/s connection for 20 minutes +
This will cost me $40 worth of Data!
I am now on a 50GB per month plan at $80 AUS per month.
On my old plan (2GB per month) how many months would I have been without the internet because of this "Game".

I know how you feel. The only thing I can get where I'm at is 10 GB's per month for $80 a month and $10 per extra GB downloaded. I can't even do basic computer updates.

My opinion BF3 is a 8==D of a game

You start off: 8========D
End up: 8=D

Hooo, well I seriously doubt they even communicate with DICE Developers directly. One secretary has to tell another that it is working haha. I just find the wait times funny.

I've finally got my expansion pack to work, but there is still one problem. On myinternet bank it tells med i have bought three of this expansion pack. It has drawn the same amount of money three times. I think its because the ordering **** said that there was a problem when i bought the expansion pack the first two times. I thought i didnt work of course when it said that there was a problem, so i did the same thing again. How can i solve this?

I am sorry to hear it mate. The lower the data the higher the price...wonderful world!
Here a 2GB data allowance is $60 then $80 for 50GB then $99 for 200GB

Well I'm blessed with unmetered 10/10 fiber at 34 a month. 100/10 unmetered would be around 50 and 100/100 unmetered would be around 100 a month

And considering it's including the expantion I don't think 3 gb is alot, would be good to make the expantion an option and a seperate download from the patch part however.

And as a ex programmer I know it's a pain in the @ with everyone complaining that nothing works and it's **** and it was better before, when it works you get nothing, not even a thank you as you worked your @ off for the customer and disregarding your private life all togather.

One reason why I'm no longer work as a programmer, It's also why I have patiance and understanding. So what if it takes a day extra? I really don't care a single bit about it, i'll enjoy playing it when it's up working again

After Mass Effect 3, I think I'm going to stay away from EA games entirely.

Yes and now PopCap games have been taken over, the emailed me with the News and told me all my details and account would be given to EA and I had to re agree and all that. being fed up I blasted them with demand for cancelling. They said I would not be able to use my games any more unless I did. I said go ahead and disable them but you will not give them to EA!! Destroy my account! waiting for the next load of crap to come down (
