I bought Battlefield 3 today, but when I came home, I remembered that my DVD player wasn't
connected, so I connected it and powered up the computer again. Once looged in, I put in the first disc
waited a bit. Nothing happened.
Opened up the explorer to check why and browsed to the disc.
There was no icons on the files in it except on a folder and double clicking the Autorun.exe didn't do anything at all.
The drive loaded some but then stopped.
Refreshed just to see if something was wrong, now the drive started loading, and the progressbar in the path field did so too
but when the drive stopped loading, the addressbar didn't. It just kept going and once done, nothing happened.
It didn't even show the normal text that there isn't anything in the current folder.
Restarted the computer again to see if the drive
maybe wasn't properly installed. This time, the explorer apparently couldn't find
anything. And I mean anything. The libraries, units and favorites, empty.
I have no idea of why but it only does so when the disc drive is connected. Without it,
the computer works wonderfully.
Does anyone know why it does this? The drivers are properly installed as well so it isn't that.
If you don't know why it do this, is there any way of installing the game without a drive. Directly via Origin(without having to buy a new copy)
because I haven't found any cd key or anything at all like there usually is in games.
Please, I've longed for this game, and when it's finally here, I can't play it.PS. Sorry for the long text, it was just so you know what I've tried so you don't suggest something I've already done
Regards
