Battlefield 3 hangs when clicking multiplayer

Every time I go into MP, my console freezes entirely. The same thing is happening to my friends (outside of the US) and this have been happening for a day.

I tried everything.

- Deleted the game from game data and reinstalled
- Restarted my internet
- Changed my DNS
- Tried loading multiplayer from a different account
- Tried a different PS3
And it still freezes my console entirely where I’m forced to shutdown my PS3.

My friends are also having the same issue. This is not on my end, this is BF3. It’s been almost 24 hours.

please fix.  

I've got the same issue the battle feed reads unable to initialize and I have to restart the PS3 to exit the screen I can play single player but if I select anything on the menu that entails connecting to ea it locks up on the menus screen. They sent a email with fixes did it all ( wasted my time) I've got a rented server that I've been unable to enter for 7 days now!! 

It is doing the same to me I've called ea twice and just told me to do all the same stuff you did but still the same . Any luck on your end ? 

I have identified that the problem is linked to the premium pass.

Delete all of battlefield 3 from ps3 and install again using only the basic online pass the problem has been resolved.

When you install the premium pass you can only play in the main account, the other accounts lock on the initial screen of bf3.

Ok I'll try that again thanks 

Hi Brow !!

I have identified that the problem is linked to the premium pass.

When you install the "premium pass" you can only play in the main account, the other accounts lock on the initial screen of bf3.

I posted here in the forum a problem just like yours.

The support said that the way it is working is correct, we can only play in the account where the premium pass was installed.

I'm from Brazil.

Nope still not working frozen 

Strange, this solution worked well for me.

I saw in another topic an EA administrator David stating that ten days ago there was a back-end change on their servers.

Could you post a link to that if you have the time ? I'm thinking of buying a used one to see if it's my cd, but it's in mint shape . Funny how I just renewed the lease on my server for 3 months a couple days before this happened! I'm pretty pissed off 

he talked about it in this topic, interaction #14
