Battlefield 3 wont launch correctly.
Hi guys, I have just tried launching BF3 and it keeps coming up with a error message saying that BF3 has stopped working and needs to close. Windows will notify me if it finds a solution. Which it obviously doesnt.
However, the game was running fine last time I had my computer on this morning. About 15 hours ago now, only thing that I did between then was pre-order BF4.
I have already tried repairing my game (nothing was needed), reinstalling drivers and battlelog updates etc etc. I was wondering if anything has been done in the last day that I may need to update that isnt appearing on my Battlelog. Currently going to reinstall the game to see if it works then.
Any help would be grateful, sure its something pretty simple! Haha,
Cheers,
Charlie.
Fixed it, just had to do this.
1: Navigate to {PC username} > My Documents >Battlefield 3 > settings.
2: Here you should be able to find a file named PROF_SAVE_BODY. Open this file, if it is completely blank you have found the roots of your problems, if the file is not blank this may not be your problem and this guide is unlikely to help you.
3: Delete this file.
4: Then open Origin and right click on Battlefield 3 in your game library.
5: Select "Show Game Details" and select the "Cloud storage" option next to "Details".
6: Deactivate Cloud Storage for Battlefield 3 or for all Origin games.
7: Now you can join a server. Battlefield 3 will notice that the file is missing and make a replacement file, this file will be using correct data and your problem should now be resolved.
Just a note, you will have to reset your key bindings afterwards.
