Battlefield 3 still not activating, opens up Battlelog web page

Despite EA insisting that the issue is now fixed, my BF3 will still not activate on Origin. I purchased it five days ago and the only thing that has changed is that i now get directed to the battlelog web page in my browser whenever I try to launch it.

What should I do? I have tried 'repairing' the game through origin but nothing has happened.

    If you still cant activate game try repair and if not working launch from Origin library than go on BF battlers and install addon for Chrome- battlelog-web-plugin.

    After that you will need to go on  and launch game from there, no matter if you want to play single or multiplayer.

    I was mad at EA because i purchased game and waited 4 days to activate and able to play but now i know that my waiting wasnt for nothing!

    This for sure is my best gaming experience  in my life, together with World of Warcraft, like 7-8 years ago.


    p.s
    Spell checker is very annoying and not helping for us non English language players, try to fix that EA!

    And yes forgot to mention that you also can try to run Origin and BF3 as administrator, right click on icon and run as.

  • sajkolik,

    Tried all of that, still opens up browser page. I can start the game through the browser however I do not want to play the game in this way as I can't even get to the main menu of the game. I can't choose servers and graphical/loadout/other settings have to be changed within the game and that's just bad.

    So in summary: I can get into multiplayer games, I can not get to the main menu of the game, I can not choose which server I am going to join or even what game type I'm going to join. I wish EA would fix this, it is quite abysmal customer service. Shouldn't have to open up the browser just to play a random game.

    Thanks for the help though, I do appreciate it.

    Sorry to hear that but if you feel better i  still have same issue, almost week after issue.

    I cant load from Origin launcher, but what else we can do except not to buy from EA?
    I mean...am not big fan of corporate firms and how they treat us loyal customers(i own more than 20 legit EA games) and still we having such element issues or bugs.

    As i said i played World Of Warcraft since release ( i will never forget that day, early in January and my running home with game from store:-) ).
    I was very addicted to WOW and played like 10+ hours at days first 2 years, and until i married in 2009 i was gaming at daily basis more than 5-6 hours, but happy end for my WOW life was my marriage.

    I want to point that for 4-5 years in game i never, literary never had similar issue(except regular Wednesday server maintenance and few minor bugs, solved in game).
    After some time Blizzard fixed offline maintenance and servers was restarted shortly ..that was everything.


    Every issue(very rare) Blizzard customer support fixed promptly with Game Masters inside game, not on forums where people waited for their answers months and years like in Origin.
    EA games simply can buy from Blizzard in game launcher or found better developers to develop new launcher from scratch, or if they continue to have such issues will losing customers on daily basis.

    Cya

    How ironic even spell checker on forums wont work properly!

    EA sports need to fix load of stuff, staff and staffs.
