USA only not on UK boooooo

 

Why can't this be a Steam sale

I missed their amazing sale this summer.

 

Well, a little off topic but...
For this weekend on steam they are selling Company of Heroes for only 3 bucks. The whole pack is like 13 bucks.

 

Use a proxy.

 

Holy crap! I'd love to get BFBC 2 but have they fix the PB problem yet?

 

Cool, I'm downloading Dead Space. Wanted to try it.

 

Sadly no.
The only thing we can do for now is use the older drivers (forgot name)

 

No, unfortunately they haven't.

 

Double post, sorry, glitch on the forum.

 

tell me more! I have ok computer knowledge but nothing compared to some of you guys on here. I have heard of proxy servers obviously but how can I get on EA USA and make purchases. Any help would be really appreciated as UK EA prices not so good in comparison.

thanks in advance

 

I bought Battlefield: Bad Company 2 ....where can I get the download link?

 

You can download it here:

http://eastore.ea.com/eadm

 

FYI that link will hold all of your EA Store Games within the Download Manager

 

Snapped up Dragon Age which is running fantastic.

 

Oh, my god, I will *NEVER* buy anything off of EA's Download Store.

They only let you re-download a set number of times. They require you to keep your own backups. Of course, you can have them allow a longer period where they allow you to re-download, for a fee of $6.00. This is a digital download we're talking about here - there are zero holding costs for them, yet they charge you. To me, that is the epitome of "nickel and diming" your customers.

I'd rather go with Steam. Yes, they might not have these exact games at this exact time on sale. But they have sales much more frequently than EA. They allow unlimited re-downloads on an unlimited number of PC's for an unlimited number of times. AND, they actually GIVE you some benefit for using their digital download service (re-downloading, friends list, steam cloud, etc).

 

I had the same rant, when they changed there TOS to only let you have a set# of downloads + a time limit of I think 2 years. However despite that I never had any problems downloading Battlefield 2142 multiple times and past that time limit. Maybe they let it slide because I had that game before the TOS change? But they did say it would effect all games even those already purchased.

 

I have no idea, but I am in the same place as you - I read the info and think 'it is only a matter of time' ... but I have BF2142 (with add-on) and Crysis (and Warhead) and Mirror's Edge and some other games ... and have never had a re-downloading issue.

That said I decided to skip this one ... I have enough of the games that I didn't miss anything.

 

I want to back up my games but where can I find the downloaded games from EA? I don't see it on "Download" folder.

Same with Steam, where can I found the downloaded games so that I will not waste (almost 12hours) my time downloading the games again.

 

In EA, your "backup" is the original installation files you downloaded from EA's download site.

In Steam, you back up a game by going to Steam --> Games --> Right-click on game name --> Backup Game Files.

 

that's the problem, I don't know where's the folder (original installation files) located.

 

I can't find it either. I've looked everywhere and in the EA manager there is a settings tab and the folders don't exist on either of my computers so I have no idea where it's putting the downloads.

 

If it's within 6 months of purchase, you can re-download from EA.

If it's after 6 months, then you need to pay EA $6.00. And that's why EA sucks.

 

Thank God I went with Steam...

 

How do i transfer a game save from my laptop to my desktop? what & were is this file?

 

Depends on the game.

For which game is this?

 

oh sorry hehe Dragon Age

 

It's in your "My Documents" folder. On a Windows 7 or Vista machine, your default location for that folder is C:\Documents\<username>\My Documents\.

--> \My Documents\Bioware\Dragon Age\

Specifically, it's in \Characters\<character_name>\Saves\. But if you are looking to transfer everything from one computer to another, then copy the entire Characters folder from one machine to another.

An example of a full path:
C:\Users\kent1146\My Documents\Bioware\Dragon Age\Characters\kent1146\Saves\

 

still can't find where's the BBC2 download files location....anybody? thanks

 

OOOH OHH!! I know this one

C:\ProgramData\EA Core\cache\EADM

Copy the entire game folder, move it to your other computer in the same place, re-open EA download manager and the game with me there with an "install" symbol.

 

if I need to re-install it - do you have step-by-step procedure?
thanks

 

thanks got it working.

 

Just try the Steam backup. You will then see how silly your question is.
