Brand new Win 11 install, brand new Origin install, brand new BF3 install
First launch: get to the browser, select a game or campaign to join = Origin popup with an error and game won't load
Invalid licenses. Reason code= missing DLL error:0x0000007e
FYI: Battlefield 2042 works fine, just BF3 won't work.
FYI: Did repair game, didn't help
FYI: Installed and checked punkbuster service, working ok
EA: don't u check older games installs actually work?
