BF3 help please

ReAPeR101 · 29 Oct 2011 at 15:11

OK recieved my hard copy of BF3 Limited edition.

Origin was installed and so i waited for my copy of BF3 to arrive.

Installation was hassle free. Game installs, i then proceed to attempt to play.

Now this is where i am really really frustrated.

The EA forums are going nuts and tbh i cant keep up with whats going on, so i thought i would post here, to get some sensible replies with reagrds to my issue.

I cant play or do anything when i click on multiplay/campaigin/Coop. Nothing works.
Really confused and angry tbh.

What have i done so far to help me.

Manual update of PB.
Uninstalled and installed again.
Drivers for GPUs are up to date 285.62.
PC is more than capable of running the game.
Firewalls all turned off in an attempt to gain access.
IE is my broswer.

Not sure what else i can do, any help much much appreciated please.

Regards

Try FireFox for launching Battlelog?

I had a problem where Origin did not like me using the 64 bit version of IE, so it would load up the main page but if clicking on any game links etc it would not work. When looking at the very top of the page it showed a coloured bar with the words this does not work with 64 bit version.

Also I had to install a game manager update that appeared bottom left of screen. Not sure any of these will help but it might be it.

When you download ff you are asked if you want it to be your default browser, answer yes and job done

You said you installed it and played, did you download the 452meg patch?

Thanks for your returns, i have managed to get the game to actually now work, just having a few bf3.exe issues.

Updated direct X, and have nothing running in the background which seems to help stability.

I believe the patch installed :S LOL
