Btw, for anyone looking for instructions for the Korean VPN trick to unlock the game early:

http://battlefieldo....ge-2#post-14295

This isn't a crack/hack or anything of the sort and doesn't circumvent any activation. It simply allows you to unlock your legally purchased copy today at 14:00 GMT (50 minutes from now). EA has stated that players will not be banned for doing this, as it doesn't violate their T&C. EU and US servers are apparently already up and running.

Do you need to then connect to Origin/Battlelog using the VPN the same as in Steam until the game unlocks in your region, or is that a one time unlock and you're done?

Asking because I don't care about the single player and playing MP through the VPN going to suck, as I'll get terrible pings.

Reaaaaallly tempted to do this, but I would still be afraid of something happening to my Origin account for doing it regardless.

I don't wait to wait until Friday though :pinch:

You only need to use the VPN for the unlock process. By using the VPN, you spoof the unlocker into thinking you're in Korea, thus unlocking your game files today instead of tomorrow.

Once your game files are unlocked, that's it. No need for the VPN anymore and you can play the game normally.

That's good. Will try it when I'll get back home.

I've lost count of the amount of hours I spent playing Dragon Valley on BF2... one of my favourite maps ever! :)

My absolute favourite map was Gulf of Oman. For months, it was the only map I played in BF2. I'm so happy that it's included in the Back to Karkand map pack.

This is my first gaming built PC. I've primarily been gaming on XBOX with all the Halo games, Black Ops, MW2 etc. I recently got a PS3 as well lol. I'm thinking about selling my XBOX because honestly PS3 is so much better.

I'm pretty new to mouse and keyboard, so hopefully I don't get owned too badly online lol.

I pre-ordered the game from Amazon.ca but have no idea if I'm gonna receive the Limited Edition or the Standard Edition :/

I preordered mine from GameStop (360) the day the game was officially announced, before the Limited Edition was revealed. I better be getting it. It was funny though, the store clerk looked at me like I was on crack when I went to pay out in full for a game he didn't even know was being released yet, haha.

All these non-texture pack versus texture pack comparisons are night-and-day. The non-texture pack looks like the graphics in the beta, honestly -- that thing had muddy textures beyond belief.

Also: I don't see why getting it for the singleplayer is bad. All the previews have looked good thus far, and most say it's on par with the Call of Duty games, which generally have good (but unimaginative) campaigns.

You used the Korean VPN technique? Can verify that you can launch the MP without it (the VPN)?

I used a hong kong based vpn and yes battlelog is working without it so is single player.

Holy shat... You know what you need? MORE TABS!

Can't wait to get home and play

Frantic searching in last few minutes finding a vpn ;) + got 12GB of ram so doesn't hurt too much

    • Meta launches new AI glasses in 26 styles and Muse Spark multimodal capabilties

      By pradeepviswav · Posted

      Meta launches new AI glasses in 26 styles and Muse Spark multimodal capabilties by Pradeep Viswanathan Meta today announced a new line of Meta Glasses in partnership with EssilorLuxottica. The new AI glasses build on the company’s existing smart glasses portfolio, which is sold under the Ray-Ban Meta and Oakley Meta brands. The new Meta Glasses start at just $299, are compatible with prescription lenses, and will be available in 26 styles across different colors, lenses, and frames. At launch, Meta Glasses will be available in three frame styles. The Meta Adventurer features a clean rectangular design and comes in Standard and Large sizes. The Meta Fury is a bolder frame for users who want a stronger look. Meta Glasses by Kylie is a slim oval frame designed in collaboration with Kylie Jenner. Similar to existing Meta AI Glasses, the new Meta Glasses include a dedicated action button that can be used to quickly access Meta AI or launch a favorite feature. They also feature open-ear speakers for calls, music, and more. Meta has also included a multi-mic array with wind noise reduction for calls and messaging. Users can capture photos and videos hands-free using voice commands. Meta claims more than eight hours of battery life, while the portable charging case can provide up to 40 additional hours. As expected, Meta Glasses come pre-loaded with Meta AI powered by Muse Spark from day one. Muse Spark is the first model from Meta Superintelligence Labs with improved multimodal capabilities. The same Meta AI upgrade is also now available on existing Ray-Ban Meta and Oakley Meta Glasses in the US and Canada via an update. With the Muse Spark-powered AI assistant, Meta AI in the new glasses can provide smarter answers, understand what the user is seeing, and help with daily tasks such as calendar management and navigation. Meta also announced an upcoming feature called the dynamic photo feature, which captures multiple frames and recommends the best one. Pedestrian navigation is also coming soon to these glasses. Meta is also adding support for 14 new live translation languages, including Japanese, Mandarin Chinese, Hindi, and Korean. The new Meta Glasses are available starting today through Meta.com, Best Buy, Amazon, LensCrafters, Sunglass Hut, and select retailers.
    • Why you need to take back control of your synced passwords and how to go about doing that

      By fintechfooty · Posted

      is that a personal preference? whether it is or isn't, i get where you're coming from. i try to get and use fully open sourced applications whenever i can but there are instances where i find a superior product that is closed sourced. in these cases i do my best to learn about the company, who operates it, their background, parent and sub structure etc. to some extent, depending on "the smell test". i really believe that Syncback is really and truly something great. even if you don't use it, it's always worth a recommendation to someone else, especially if that someone else is not very computer literate. for someone of your calibre you, you'll manage just fine with Syncthing, no doubt about it.

      I agree, especially if it is cloud sourced, like this one is.. but I wouldn't say no to a local AI assistant similar to the Zettlab one which would be really helpful with my large Photos library, but also to perform tasks like installing Docker apps rather than me having to do it via Docker Compose, but I don't think we're quite there yet. Synology Photos is somewhat AI, you can ask it to search for certain people (if you have tagged them and it will attempt to match similar photos to the person) and if you put a search term in for "cars" for example, it will show you all photos with a car.
