 Try deleting or moving PROF_SAVE_body from Documents\Battlefield 3\settings

 

 

 

right click on the desktop shortcut for Origin,,

go to properties > compatibility tab > check off run as administrator > apply

and restart origin..( i restart whole pc just in case) and try again and let us know what happens.

 

try this:

 

go to settings in origin, then scroll down!!

 

1) Uncheck use cloud storage for all games
2) Delete settings folder in C:/Users/your name/My documents/Battlefield 3 (you can make a copy to save in case)
3) It should now work

 

*********************************************************************************************************************************

 

1. Click Ctrl-Alt-Del to run Task Manager

2. Find under processes Origin.exe

3. Disable it

4. Go to Battlelog and login

5. Join some server

6. Origin should now open when you try to join a server.

 

********************************************************************************************************************************

 

1) Goto the folder whereOrigin installed BF3 (C:\Program Files (x86)\Battlefield 3\ Battlefield 3™) (thats where mine was installed)


2) Rename the Battlefield 3™ folder to Battlefield 3 - (removing ™)

3)Start regedit , browse to the following key : 

HKEY LOCAL MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WoW6432Node\EA Games
Change the GDFBinary & InstallDir paths to C:\Program Files (x86)\Battlefield 3\ Battlefield 3 - again removing ™


and it will launch fine 

Note: when you rename the folder and edit the registry You have to make sure Origin is not running.

 

**********************************************************************************************************************************

 

Problems: "Game in the back need to be closed", "BF3 not launching", "Stuck at joining"

Cause: Origin is not updating. Newest version is 8.6.1.39. Version shown 8.6.1.37 or older.

Solution: Download link for right installer: https://download.dm.origin.com/origin/beta/8.6.1.39/OriginSetup.exe [download.dm.origin.com]
 
*********************************************************************************************************************************
 
go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Battlefield 3 make sure BF3 is NAMED BF3.exe if it is called bf3.exe_DiP_STAGED remove the _DIP_STAGED part then try the game if that doesnt work try the repair tool after you remove the _DiP_STAGED

Manually Uninstalling Origin

 

Updated:  6/28/2011

To manually uninstall Origin, you will need to edit your system registry and remove the folders in a two-part process. This will remove all traces of Origin from your system.

NOTE: If you remove Origin, you will lose accessibility and playability to any downloaded games and manuals until you reinstall Origin.

Remember that editing your computer's registry or files incorrectly can severely damage your operating system. We recommend having a computer professional perform these steps. If you are confident, however, that you can edit your registry successfully, then please follow the instructions below carefully.

Remove the Origin program files:

  1. From the Start menu, select Computer.
  2. Select the hard drive; by default, Origin is installed on the C: drive.
  3. Select the Program Files folder; on 64bit systems, this will be called Program Files (x86).
  4. Right-click the Origin folder and select Delete.
Backup the Windows registry:
  1. Hold down the Windows key and press R.
  2. At the Run command, type regedit and select OK.
  3. Select File, then Export.
  4. Under Export Range, select All.
  5. Choose a location and name for the backup file, then select Save.
Remove the Origin registry keys:
  1. Expand the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE folder.
  2. Expand the SOFTWARE folder.
    On 64bit systems, expand the Wow6432node folder.
  3. Right-click the Origin folder and select Delete.
  4. Expand the Microsoft folder.
  5. Expand the Windows folder.
  6. Expand the CurrentVersion folder.
  7. Expand the Uninstall folder.
  8. Right-click the Origin folder and select Delete.
Remove the Origin program cache:
  1. From the Start menu, select Computer.
  2. Select the C: drive.
  3. Select the ProgramData folder.  If this folder does not appear, press Alt, select Tools, then Folder Options.  Select the View tab, then check Show hidden files, folders, and drives.
  4. Right-click the Origin folder and select Delete.
Origin has now been completely removed from your system.

FYI - Possible Fix for some with 64-bit Win7 and new BF3 Patch***

My brother recently downloaded the patch and he would play perfectly fine before, and now it freezes every time he tried to load a game (loading black screen) then takes him back to the battlelog.

FIX:

I just disabled UPnP in the setting for his router and it worked immediately after that.

So for those with mostly Linksys routers.
Open up your internet browser
type 192.168.1.1

username: (default username is left blank)
password: (default pw is admin)

Administration tab> Disable UPnP
Save.

**************************************************************************************************************************************************************
 
Stuck on Joining Server / Long map load times:

Cause: Bug with x64 OS
press start write Run regedit.

go to: HKEY LOCAL MACHINE/SOFTWARE/WoW6432Node/EA Games

Change the GDFBinary & InstallDir paths to C:Program Files (x86)Origin GamesBattlefield 3
 
***************************************************************************************************************************************************************
 
Problem solved, i just uncheck read only on battlefield 3 folder
 
***************************************************************************************************************************************************************
 
 
 

Disable UPnP if you're on a router.

 

Do you have the game fully installed before trying to update?

 

If you're installing from disc, disconnect the internet & then install fully. Reconnect the internet before running.

 

In Origin Settings menu, Enable Beta opt-in, Disable Auto Updates.

1. If Origin is ON, kill the process.
2. Start your browser and Battlelog
3. Find the server you want to join and join it
4. Let Battlelog start Origin and the game afterwards

If Origin gets stuck (no icon in the bar, kill the Origin process, stop joining the server and try to join again).

For some reasons starting BF3 from Origin for me usually doesn't work at all.

Tried all this, none of it works.

 

1) Origin was already set to "Run as Administrator".

 

2) Cloud service was already disabled.

 

3) I cannot access battlelog if I try to enter the web address. ("battlelog.battlefield.com" right?!)

 

4) There is no registry key located at: HKEY LOCAL MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WoW6432Node\EA Games

 

5) My "bf3.exe" file is, in-fact, named "bf3.exe".

 

6) I did not try to uninstall Origin. It has problems downloading games to my PC. (Constantly dropping from 70-90% down to 10-20%!) If I uninstall, it would be AT LEAST a full week before I get all the games reinstalled.
