What shops are these and whos crying about? Not I. Im just ****ed that after paying a premium Im now left with nothing exclusive for doing so.

You paid for premium and you get all CQ and all the future dlc, I don't get what you are so angry about. Limited editions of games don't get exclusive stuff down the line long after release... usually just little perks on release, like getting karkand for free...

This latest update (CQ) has brought so many bugs into this game is insane. Hell as of right now Battle-log says i have a wrong username or password while logging in.

As someone that works in tech support, 99.95% of the time getting a wrong username/pass error means you are in fact entering the wrong username or password :rofl:

Yep, seems as though the whole BF3/Battlelog network is down. Their sysadmins are 2/2 in the past week.

No, and you're not the only one in tech support. Though I like how you were able to automatically assume the user is an idiot and it was their fault and not something on the company's end. You must be a shining star at your job. :rofl:

Nah, I actually prefer it to be something on my end, cause that means I can fix it, I prefer that to trying to convince someone that they are in fact typing the wrong password for the 10th time in a row :laugh:

So what little perks do us LE adopters have now? Nothing thats what.

Also i will buy premium at some point, but I feel that after paying more on launch day than others, there should be atleast a little nod, a dog tag, a camo scheme, something as a little perk. That hasnt been bundled up and sold as addons already.

Paying more than others? You paid the same as everyone else. And the perk you got for the LE is free Back to Karkand dlc.

Nothing exclusive? What about the "Soldier Upgrade" (Camouflage) us premium users will be getting next month? And what about the "Bonus Content Drop" the month after? All of that isn't exclusive enough for you? Oh, and what about all the Double XP events we'll be getting each month? Still not exclusive enough?

People seem to be forgetting that Battlefield Premium is more than just buying the DLC in bulk. There's a whole lot more to Battlefield Premium than just the DLC.

He's talking about the Limited Edition game not the Premium addon. He was saying that he has nothing to show for buying the LE as Karkand is now available for everyone.

^Looked to me like he was talking about Premium. What else did he expect? That Karkand would only be available for the people who bought LE? That's very weird to me :/ The perk of getting LE was getting Back to Karkand along with it. I bought LE as well and I don't see any downside of that having bought Premium as well.

Yeah exactly, LE was only like ?5ish more than standard, B2K on its own its ?10-12ish you got the LE you saved money in the long run...and if you got the LE physical warfare pack you got a few extra guns straight off as well...

Premium gets you DLC cheaper, 2 weeks early and extra content...if you can get it at a good price (I paid ?29.99 for 4200MSP, so ?28.56 for premium at 4000MSP) then its well worth it IMO.

Not entirely true. The last camo you unlock lowers your heat profile. Not that anyone uses the IRNV anymore.

We get it 1 week earlier, right? At least on PC we do as far as I know. I've payed ?49,99 for it and I found it well worth the money. Though only because I know I'll be playing it for all the months to come till the next BF drops.

As I understand it from the official release date working backwards.

Date: PC and 360 non premium members

Date -1 week: PS3 non premium members

Date -2 weeks PC and 360 premium members

Date -3 weeks PS3 premium members

I believed that Playstation Premium members got it 1 week before PC Premium members and everyone else next week. Thanks clarifying :)

?17.96 FTW :D

No matter what anyone says, Premium is good value for money, at least for those who are going to be buying all of the DLC's anyway. If not, then you still get added perks but it's not so much that you have a disadvantage over other players, from what I've seen anyway. Apart from the prioritised queue thing which is a bit silly I think.

    • Windows 11 KB5094126, KB5093998 bugging out Office apps but it may not be Microsoft's fault by Sayan Sen Microsoft last week released Windows 11 KB5094126 and KB5093998 as the latest Patch Tuesday updates. Following that the company also published the accompanying dynamic updates under KB5094149, KB5095971, and KB5094156. Although the tech giant did not acknowledge any major problems, some users online reported various issues ranging from OneDrive and Dropbox access problems, BitLocker recovery lockouts, to blue screens and BSODs. You can read about them in this dedicated piece. While there is still no confirmation about those problems from Microsoft the company has admitted to another bug which we did not report on. The tech giant has confirmed it has received reports of an issue in which certain third-party applications may be unable to launch Microsoft Office apps or open Office documents after installing the Patch Tuesday. This affects both Windows 11 as well as Windows 10. The company says the problem impacts a subset of applications that rely on OLE (Object Linking and Embedding) automation to communicate with Microsoft Office programs. According to Microsoft, affected scenarios involve third-party software attempting to open Office applications or documents from within their own interface. In such cases, the Office program may fail to launch altogether, or the requested document may not open. Oddly there may not be any error message, which probably makes the issue difficult to diagnose. The bug affects several Office products, including Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Access, and other apps in the Microsoft Office suite when they are launched through the affected software. These include tax and accounting software such as CCH Engagement and Workpaper Manager, dental practice management solutions like Dentrix and Softdent, as well as the popular research and reference management tool Zotero. Microsoft adds that other applications using similar Office integration methods could also experience the same problematic behavior. To understand the issue it is important to look at OLE, the Microsoft technology involved. OLE allows different applications to work together and share data, while its Automation feature lets one program control another. Thus this enables third-party software to launch Microsoft Office apps, open documents, and perform tasks automatically without requiring users to switch between programs. Because many accounting, healthcare, research, and business applications rely on OLE automation to interact with Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and other Office apps, any disruption can break those workflows. As a result, affected software may be unable to open Office documents or launch Office applications even though the programs themselves continue to work normally. At the moment the company has not provided a permanent fix though it has confirmed that engineers are actively working on a resolution, which will be delivered through a future Windows update. As such additional details will be shared once more information becomes available. In the meantime, Microsoft recommends a simple workaround for affected users whic is to open the Office application or document directly rather than launching it through the third-party program. For enterprise customers and organizations managing larger deployments, Microsoft says an additional mitigation is available. Admins experiencing the problem on their managed devices are advised to contact Microsoft Support for business to obtain and apply the workaround.
