New nvidia WHQL drivers for BF3 launch: http://www.nvidia.com/object/win7-wi...ql-driver.html

Sweet thanks for the heads up, do you know if the ATI drivers are out? Couldn't find anything on it

[Mega Gengar]

Nah nothing yet, not sure if they are really needed though but we'll see. The beta drivers worked fine and the latest one with the RAGE drivers included it all so hopefully it will be working fine.

I am getting ~30-35 FPS in the campaign with all settings on ultra. It's not great, but I think it's about what I'd expect from my system (6950 2gb). Dunno if drivers would massively improve things.

[Mega Gengar]

Ugh wish I could atleast login to battlelog, can't if you don't have it on your Origin acc. Damn retail pre-order x.x

[Meleti]

Try going offline on Origin and then launching BF3 (assuming yours is activated, ofc).

Oh nah, probably won't even let me do that. It's not out in AU yet, guessing we can't access battlelog until it's officially out here aswell xD

I used a proxy, korean I assume, to active my bf3 and then the battlelog suddenly worked

"210.107.100.251:8080 as proxy in IE and Run > c:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Battlefield 3\bf3.exe -webmode spoffline"

[Mega Gengar]

I don't have the digital version of it sadly, wish I did now x.x

[Byrogan]

That sucks, I wanna get on BattleLog QQ

[Meleti]

I'm in Texas (BF3hasn't released here yet either) and Battlelog's working just fine. I can't really fathom why it would be any different for Australians or Europeans; just install BF3 in origin, activate it, and you're good to go.

And here's some insight to EA's policy towards early access:

Crash7800 (EA Communiy manager) stated in reddit "Your call, I guess, as to if it's worth the risk. Personally, I'd wait. Definitely won't work for multiplayer, and if it did all you'd be doing would be creating a needless headache for our network staff."



If you do manage to bypass or risk to play muliplayer, just know that you would only be able to play multiplayer on the Asian servers . Expect to have 300+ping and joining into clogged up servers. There are still question going around the web whether or not this is safe. The safest way in doing this, would be to see the safety confirmation of the people who have done this and have everything running like I should (everything is working) after the Korean version has been lunched.

If you have this already or jumped into do this without knowing what the risk are or what they could be. Don't worry about the ban hammer, It's has been publicly announced that EA won't ban for this, for there is no legit reason to do so. This VPN program can be an alternative proxy and privacy protection, so EA can't argue to apply the ban hammer. I am sorry, but I do not know how reverse this once you have done it. My one guess would be to delete BF3 and all its contents like its reg and download. If this has worked let us know.

EA has also stated that this is not illegal, it's just isn't very nice. ( meaning this is a go, but it's only a go on your own risk.)

FROM ENTERBF3, WE ADVISE YOU TO WAIT UNTIL BATTLEFIELD 3 COMES OUT IN YOUR TIMEZONE FOR THE BEST 100% QUALITY ASSURANCE. WE ARE NOT ACCOUNTABLE FOR YOUR ACTION(S) AND MISTAKES.

TLDR: they aren't going to ban you for it.

Pretty hard to install the game when we don't have it yet :\

[Torched]

I used Platinum Hide IP and I´m now playing Bf3 single player! the game looks so fkn sweet on ultra!

Yeah, boxed installs got screwed. But honestly, boxed installs won't exist in another five years. It's just not needed any more.

[JustintimeSS]

I'd like to play today.... who wants to send me a PM on how to do so?

Check on the previous page, posted how to do it. Assuming you have a digital preorder of course : )
