BF3 double browser

up2nogooduk · 13 Jan 2013 at 17:15

Hi.

Every time i press to join a server for battlefield 3 via multiplay in the browser. it shows in the bottom left corner joining server, but 2 seconds after another browser opens, but then the game just don't load?

Is there a reason for this>?

Cheers

I believe the technical term would be its screwed, try using another browser type altogether. I dont think origin needs to use the default browser, login via battlelog

Manually update Punkbuster from the website/run the config check from the BF3 folder.

Let me know if you can't find it i can give more info later from home!

Hi,

Punkbuster did need updating, but this didn't fix the problem!
Strange why it does this..

Maybe this is worth a try?

I used to get a problem where when I clicked on a server to join a game I would get the joining server message, but the game would never launch.

What fixed it for me was to launch origin as admin, and also to set the bf3.exe to run as admin.

Bit off topic but is there any way to get the server browser up in the game itself or through a console? I'm using WaterFox and the plug-in doesn't work on it.
