Err decided to play BF3 after a long time and apparently it decided to download a 48.1mb file but it just won't start downloading. So then I decided to close the origin client and start it up again and now it wants to download a 13.2gb file :S And everytime I resume it, it pauses itself and stays at 0%. Any help?

Got my BF3 Disc yesterday. Origin wanted to download a 4 GB update which I did. To my surprise after completing all the update it again goes about downloading the same update :S any idea what's the problem ? and is there a possibility to download the update externally meaning downloading it from somewhere other than Origin and then manually adding the update ?

i hope so everything works fine if i let it download without turning my pc off. but i've heard that ppl with these problems also have a problem that when download finishes, it starts again. i hope that isn't the case with me. i haven't downloaded the game once for 100%. i think my download will include all the updates and that is why its size is also 14.7 GB

yes it will include all updates, and there is a bug in Origin which cause data loss in case of power failure. So try UPS or pause the download before load shedding.

yup be sure to do that otherwise you will face data loss problem + game is downloading all previous updates thats why its taking a bit of more time

I face this problem sometimes, but like once in a week.
Update your graphics card driver.
And also try to play on low settings for once to check your system stability for BF3. If it still crashes then report!

Well GPU drivers are already up to date, will try lowering the resolution and will post back here. Thanks!

you will still have to download updates as DVD will contain game and the three patches which arrived later on will have to be downloaded so better not waste time with LEGIT DVD
