So battlefield 4 is upon is! However the Yanks get to play from 29 October... This happened with battlefield 3 too... However we managed to connect to VPNs and get the game on US launch.

Do you guys think that will be possible again? I wonder if the purchases are locked to the SA store or not?

I haven't seen the preload go available yet. So I don't think it's going to be the same as BF3. Our preload will probably only become available on Wednesday or Thursday.

I have started the download. But will pause it and play some BF3 tonight.
Will download the rest overnight and while i'm at work tomorrow.

My 4meg line should not take to long with it. I'm getting between 720KB/sec and 660KB/sec. aprox 12hours.

That would be awesome if we could get it from you too. I got your number from Russy so I will contact you to arrange a time/day when it will be convenient for us to get together to get the file.

Small annoyance with the DL. Blistering fast speeds (1.5mb/s - orijin stylez) so I left it on overnight only to find that it timed out shortly after I went to bed. No matter though because it will be done by Friday.

Hooah!

I should have it finished by the end of the day today, thanks to CTWUG. Anyone who wants the files in Cape Town, let me know.

SO guys, download a program call VPNace.

once installed and your trial is up and running, connect to a US server. It is very simple to set up.

Make sure origin and battlelog is closed before you join the network.

Connect US -----> Launch Origin ------- Launch BF4 from Origin -------> disconnect from VPN --------> Play

if you dont disconnect you get lag because you are then routing back to SA from the US.

also you have to repeat this step everytime you close Origin. It does not permanently activate BF4.
