BF3 - Damn stupid update.

[Alpine]

2 time this month i need to re-install the game completly.

First: When they have done a update for the browser my game come corrupt.
Second: The update of origin last week. Since then, it not recognise my game installation.

40G in the garbage this month. Im on 90gb/month plan

Yet another reason caps are complete bullshit. All games require patches now. Unless your ISP is going to grow a pair of balls and host a copy of the game patches that don't affect your caps then it's all bullshit.

Die caps.

Crap, I hope this doesn't happen to me. I only have 65GB =S. I havent gone on after the Orign patch yet.

Possible issues on your side though as I haven't had any problems with BF3 having to get reinstalled.

Stupid question, did you try to do a repair on the game before you did the reinstall? I had a similar issue after updating but the repair seems to have fixed it.

In Origin, go into Options and tell it to save all game installers and downloads. This way, you won't have to re-download the game and subsequent patches every time something goes bump in the night. Basically, this option stores all the installer files and you can relaunch the installer locally instead of having to hit your cap.

Another reason why I like Origin more than Steam....

Sky, what do you mean? Pretty much every game I have bought and downloaded using steam I downloaded with my notebook and then when I got home I used it's backup functionality to dump it over the network to my desktop. That leaves me with a large file or two per game(ok, a couple tiny ones too) on my storage/shared drive that are good for long term storage and I can easily run the installers locally should I ever have an issue.
Yes, when a game gets updated I just run the backup thing again but that is not really much of an issue.

I do the same thing. I have a 2tb drive half full of my backed up steam games.
