    Those browsers worked fine for me.

    I found the reason why it didnt work:

    For some weird reason, my Origin settings were changed, my default path for installed games was changed from my game drive over to my C: drive.

    I dont know what caused it, but i just noticed it because Origin didnt want to update Payback today. Now it works fine again. lol

    Thanks for your suggestions guys, really appriciate it trying to get older games working again :D

I tried Firefox, Chrome and even Edge. Nothing worked.

Thanks Preston, i'll try that out tomorrow. Honestly, i still love BF3 to this day and it feels weird not being able to play it :D

@M3g4_Ch4rlzarD None of those browsers work with Battlelog anymore.   In order to join servers in BF3 and BF4 via Battlelog I have to run Internet Explorer (not Edge) and then go into Battlelog's settings and use the plugin launcher.  Another option that works but not as frequently is using the web browser Opera and using the plugin-free launcher on Battlelog. I recommend to try the first method using Internet Explorer.
