The AT Battlefield 4 F.A.Q., News, and Discussion thread

What time does everyone's BF3 deletion start ?

 

[imaheadcase]

And just how long is the timer? Regardless, thats garbage.

Why is it garbage? It rewards both people, the HVT and person killing them. It lasts till whoever kills him. If its like BF2 commander mode won't be focusing much on that anyways.

It's garbage because it's CoD killstreak style deathmatch stuff. Also, putting that aside, it's a Robin Hood thing designed to unfairly get someone killed early who's playing well.

It's funny. Admins adopted carebear things like uncap rules so they officialized it for BF3 with the out of bounds. But I bet that if admins were to do the opposite and try to stop the use of such carebear things, EA would actually shut their server down.

Agree pretty lame to have that crap in conquest

I am extremely curious about download speed of the exclusive beta preload
Something tells me it won't be above 10kB/s

Yup, pretty much exactly how I felt reading that. Meh, maybe it'll be a server side option to turn off.

Origins connection speeds are usually pretty awesome

I don't see a problem with it, just something the commander can do, its not going to be something up all the time.

Preparing Preload...

I'm getting 1.55 MB/Sec(1587.2 Kb/s), I'm at 9% done

 

[taq8ojh]

The speeds are perfectly fine indeed. I underestimated the whole thing.

 

[jackstar7]

Getting over 2 and up near 3MB at times.

 

[taq8ojh]

Not like we are in a hurry, nothing else but downloading it will happen for next two days, lol.

 

[AgentUnknown]

2mb/s almost done with download. I am at 70%.

 

[realjetavenger]

Was downloadung at over 2MB/s. Took about half an hour to load and install.

 

[Paul98]

3.5MB/s not going to take much time at all, nice to see no problems so far.

 

[imaheadcase]

Yah had it done in about 10min. Better than expected.

 

[taq8ojh]

Anyone else unable to complete the installation? I am in an endless loop where when I press Install, it does something for a few seconds, and then it takes me back to the "ready to install" state.
I remember BF3 has the same problem, only there it was fixable with adding "InstallDir" registry key.

 

[imaheadcase]

You can't install it. It just puts files on hard drive compressed till its unlocked. It just downloads it and thats it.

 

[taq8ojh]

I thought you just can't play, but installation would complete. Allright then.

Now it's just two more days, lol.

 

[Zargon]

This is one area origin owns steam in. Steam crumples under big launches

 

[Phoenix86]

Yeah, 2 days is almost too much time.
