Riven So, I just bought BF3 standard edition on Origin and now when I try to download it, it just pauses itself and stays stuck at 0%, that's because it's Lebanon. I tried Hotspot shield but whenever hotspot shield is active, Origin says I am offline, whenever I try going online from there, it just keeps saying I'm offline thus, hotspot did not resolve the issue. So here I am, with a wasted $70~ and well, there's no point in raging at EA games because it was already clear how shitty Origin was gonna be. I'm assuming I'm not the only one here that has encountered this issue, searching this forum led me to a thread in which hotspot shield is mentioned but, like I said, it's not working and that thread has been closed since then. Any help by chance? Thank you
Riven Got it fixed; there was an issue with hotspot shield, 15gb..but it's downloading at 600kb/s, lets hope it stays this way.

Riven I opened hotspot shield before logging into Origin, I should have been opening it AFTER logging into Origin.. :p
samer Hi Riven, I'm glad you resolved your issue. There's a whole thread about BF3. Please refrain from creating new topics about BF3 in the future!
