How to fix Battlefield 4 slow download

I have finally discovered a fix to the slow download problem on Origin.  All you need to do is:

• Exit the Origin Client
• Save a text file on your desktop with the following inside.

[connection]
EnvironmentName=production

[Feature]
CdnOverride=akamai

• Save the file as EACore.ini
• Reload the Origin Client 

A message will appear about loading the file, click yes.

The Origin client loads up in R&D Mode. Ta Da Fixed. Now downloading at my max speed.

Note:

To exit R&D Mode simply delete the eacore.ini from where origin is installed and reload the Origin.

Hope this helps and saves hours of trying other useless fixes, as usual the problem is EA.

Iplayer stuttering fix

Finally discovered the fix for the iplayer randomly stuttering and lagging all the time during movies and trailers etc. To fix this issue you will need to disable WiFi syncing on all your devices connected to iplayer. You can do this by selecting each device and in options untick "WiFi Syncing"

This immediately resolved the problem for me without even having to restart the iplayer client, no more stuttering and no more lag. Hope this helps.

Vodafone line rental increasing

Vodafone sent an interesting text today.

"We're making some changes to our pricing from 1st November. Your monthly line rental will be increasing. The cost of Premium rate calls will also rise, find out more at........... and enter code.."

Super, that contract I can not change edit or in anyway get out of can be made more expensive any time Vodafone like. I wonder what excuse they throw out this time? Maybe years and years of abusing the cost of texts messages got harder? Maybe they want to buy the 4g network. Who knows?

Hero Academy Line them up Challenge How to complete

The "line them up" challenge is probably the most annoying challenge in Hero Academy. One would not be surprised if you got stuck on this one.

Here is how to beat the level "Line them up"

• Use your Heavy guy to shoot the wizard on the right twice. 
• Then shoot the wizard on the left.
• Next move demon man up two spaces on top of wizard.
• Shoot the wizard on the right.
• Move Demoman two squares right.
• Then shoot the wizard on far right.

Job done.

Hard as hell but now you know how to solve it :P
