@luklas1997 I understand how frustrating this can be as it's happened to me. These two solutions have worked for me in the past when BF3 wouldn't launch via Steam:
Go to C:\ProgramData\Electronic Arts\EA Services\License and delete the file/s there then start the game. The game will create new ones and then it will work. This happens to me every time I have a windows update.
If that doesn't work try this:
Close Origin and all Origin processes in the task manager
Hold the Windows key + R.
In the command box that opens, type %ProgramData%/Origin then click OK.
Delete all the files and folders inside it except for LocalContent
Inside of the LocalContent folder delete the Battlefield 3 folder.
Next open Origin, allow Battlefield 3 to update, then log into Battlelog and join a server and you should be good to go.
Unfortunately, this still didn't help. I used practically all the troubleshooting I could try. ☹️
I ended up only deleting Battlefield 3 folder under the local folder as mentioned above. That did not seem to work but I noticed on the left of the screen that my cookies were being blocked. I accepted the cookies for EA and the game worked!! Check and see if that works for you guys.
I might be late but please download Chrome or Open Chrome if you don't have it , chrome://flags/ copy paste this link and on top search for Native Client , Enable it and close chrome and reopen it , go to battlelog and run into a server
@ragnarok013 Well, I have the same problem, but this does not work. Any other solutions?
i have had this issue before. as bf3 launches into the battlelog website I don't think you can play offline. In addition make sure you have origin installed. open steam and run bf3 it should also run origin. after that it will open battlelog. from there you just have to go to the server browser if you want to play multiplayer and join a server. if you have issues joining/playing try downloading or updating punkbuster.
First option you mentioned worked for me ragnarok013! Thanks so much mate! This was doing my head in for hours! Played this game over a year ago and loved it.
