Battelfield 3

Hello @Xenon217

Try the following:

 Method: 1

1. Download the VC++ 2010 Service Pack 1 from the Microsoft Website.

2. Open up My Computer, then click on Local Disc, then Battlefield 3, then _Installer, then vc, then vc2008sp1 then redist.

3. Place the downloaded file from step 1 into the redist directory you are in. If you are asked to replace an existing file, say 'Yes'.

4. Open Origin and install Battlefield 3.

Method: 2

After following the above steps without success, try the following:

1. Restart your computer. Restarting does wonders for a computer as closing Windows gives it a chance to sort everything out.

2. Uninstall the "Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 x86 Redistributable" then install it again from the Microsoft Website.
