    Click on the Battlefield 4 image in Origin, then click the "i" button...it should show Premium down on the bottom if you have it.

    If I've already preloaded without going through the VPN, am I screwed ?

    I'd love to be getting anything lower than 400ms ping on BF4 going through Korean VPN's. Particularly as BF3 servers tonight are populated by Darwins F...ing rejects. 1 match, 2 professional (own-team) teabaggers, 1 dick who revives everyone on a rooftop where the rest of us are getting murdered (5 times for me alone, approx 2 seconds alive each time) and when the maps rotate here comes another complete f***tard going from pole to pole trying to burn them with a repair tool while jets strafe him & the rest of us.

    Anyone found a good low ping VPN before I start trying to find out if any of these retards are in Dublin & go over to steal their dog tags. Its that or cry.

    Disconnect from the VPN as soon as your in battlelog.

    Cheers I'll try it again. Origin were spotting me as non-Korean earlier today when I tried it.

    Edit: Got through this time. Thanks again :)

    Off topic but just wanted to post a link to a youtube vid I found really helpful on BF3 for getting good FPS (not the childish "my pc has a ....., yours only has a ...., BS) . Just applied some of his recommended settings to BF4 and it seems to have made a big difference.

    With a couple of maps having thick leafy foliage I can see major problems for those not running at native res so optimisation may be more important than ever. 1st match in heavy bushes & I was getting pulled apart due to jaggies concealing targets. Good luck.

    does anyone have another link to the vpn? the one that was posted on page 9 doesn't work anymore.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 29,930 ✭✭✭✭TerrorFirmer


    The VPN seems to be working fine for me, activated now.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 207 ✭✭psugrue

    its just the link to download it isn't working anymore, when i click on the link, it opens a new page sawing "The document has been moved".

    lads, im a noob at this but my son 17, wants this, said he could get it for €35 but their sold out, now he's looking at €60 +, any ideas where i can get it cheapest, deluxe version with chineese expansion or something. We've fibre bb so a DL of 20gb is fine for us.

    Cancelled my order with simplycdkeys. They wanted a scan of passport or drivers licence, and after I sent a couple of emails they just resent the original request for scanned IDs!

    Signed up for cdkeys.com, 20 minutes later the game is preloading.

    You dont restart Origin if it says you are in offline mode. There is a bit to click which says "go online" at the top of Origin. Click that and you will be fine. If you are restarting Origin, you are letting it check that you are in the EU.

    Please read the thread. Sorry not trying to be a dick but your question was answered in the last 2 pages.

    I had the same thing. Just contact CDkeys via the support link on their page. They got back to me (personally written email not a copy and paste job) and all sorted in 5 minutes. Very impressive response. Good luck.

    Cut the VPN connection when you get to log into Battlelog (before you enter a game. Don't restart the Origin client). Battlelog will use your Irish IP address but Origin will still think your in Korea so your ping times will be much better than running through the VPN.
