why is this thing downloading the game when i have the freaking discs......
convo with EA tech support
Reena:
Hello Aaron.
you:
Hi, bought the game on PC, have the actual physical DVDs... how do i get it to install from the disc instead of downloading?
Reena:
Could you please tell me the game name and the platform?
you:
Battlefield 3 on PC
Reena:
Okay.
Reena:
Please allow me some time here.
Reena:
Thanks for waiting.
Reena:
You need to insert the dvd in your disc drive.
Reena:
Then you would be able to install the game in your pc
you:
Yeah... the dvd IS int he drive
you:
It installed origin, then I logged into origin, and instead of installing the game from the disc it started downloading the game
Reena:
Yes it is.
Reena:
This is the same thing.
you:
N o it isn't
you:
Installing from the disc is much faster
you:
Downloading the game takes 1.5 hours or more
Reena:
You need to restart the pc in this case.
you:
Ok, thank you.
Aaaand after the reboot, SAME THING it starts downloading again
I mean, I have a fast connection and it's coming in at 3 MB/s.... but seriously, i could have had this installed and playing an hour ago if it would've just installed from the F'ing disc... @(&^ it, i'm goin to sleep
