Good Lord!!!:wtf:
Sorry dude

 

[Glordit]

For PC dude. Are you not paying attention?

He's so shocked at the size of the patch!!

 

[Glordit]

What line speed?

It's a 1Mb/s Mweb uncapped going at ~120Kb/s jumps from 100 - 150 sometimes.

 

[DenSweeP]

Patching as we speak.

Came in to thread too late and didn't page back

Haha, I am shocked.
Well hopefully PS3 is a fair bit less then since we downloaded 767MB patch a week ago, which supposedly has the maps in them.
Can see them in server browser anyway.

All the smart people have remotely started their patches from work.

LOL +1 for that!!

Must be a huge amount of fixes......

 

[Vengeful_Bunny]

yeah, how did everyone get the patch size so wrong?

 

[Glordit]

I feel sorry for people on 384k they'll be downloading for nearly 2 days.

*edit* 6.2%

Sigh @ 3.9gb .... Me and my girl both play BF3, i should be able to update my client and copy this over to her right? Because the 1st time i tried that, it wiped the whole folder for some reason. Ill just have to try again, no way I am updating 2 clients at the same time -_-

 

[Ryansta]

With the BETA i tried to copy my friends...
I tried a few times. Eventually i think it worked by copying it where it should go then open origin.

Scared to try that now with such a huge dl. Hoping someone tests it first

 

[Uberutang]

I think the download size is 2 gig, and the install size is 3.9?

 

[OGBuzz]

You are lucky if that is your problem, some of us are on 3g. Looks like bf3 will need to be included in my budget for updates and bandwith.
