Battlefield 3 not launching 2020
Battlefield 3 doesn't even launch anymore after I moved it with EA Support to another Origin Account. I couldn't wait to play Battlefield on my new PC but I think it's too new? I tried: - reinstal...

I've just recently bought bf3 on steam on a brand new PC and it was playing fine for a couple days but now I can't get it to launch at all.
I've seen that this is apparently a pretty common problem but no one has any actual solution for it?
I've done most things I can think of and have found that worked for other people. I've uninstalled and reinstalled, restarted my PC steam and origin, uninstalled origin, I've tried running the game as admin and in compatibility mode, I've even tried only launching the game from Battlelog but still nothing. From Battlelog all it will tell me after joining the server for several minutes it says that 'it didn't start properly' and to try things I've already done or it says it 'cant communicate with BF3'
Nope. It causes something to load in Origin but it very quickly refreshes back to the home page. It doesn't open Battlelog or anything.
Something I have noticed is sometimes when I've opened steam and origin and then try to join a server the game will say that it's running in my steam library while searching for a minute or two and then it stops. The "joining server" then won't stop until it times itself out.
- @scrdrt hey, okay... but u linked steam and origin thogether?
Make a clean restart from ure PC and start all youre programms step by step, it can be that some programm conflict it.
Hello, I bought BF3 yesterday on Steam, my problem is a bit different from the first one :
I launch the game on Steam, It opens Origin, which opens Battlelog.
The catch his that Battlelog cannot reach the game, error message "Could not communicate with BF3. Please use the Task Manager to close it down." so how could I fix this issue?
Thanks in advance.
The issue seems to be with the windows 10 2004 update. The game ran absolutely fine before it and reverting to earlier windows versions allows a brief period of the game working again before windows auto updates. Has been corroborated with other users on steam experiencing the same issue. Doubt there will be a fix from this end so I guess we have to hope that a future windows update un-breaks it or all steam users will be unable to play the game permanently now.
- @EvilSnotRocket OMFG. I just bought it. I just spent money on this game! EA, you need to fix this, I feel like I've been outrageously scammed!
