BF 3 activation problem.
I bought BF3 on Steam a couple of years ago and didn't have any problems. Now, when I start the game, it runs the initialization, then the window pops up with the message: "We couldn't activate BF3 on this computer..." I reinstalled the game 2 times, but I still get this message. I also have BF1, 4, 5, and Hardline, and they run fine. How can I fix it? The photo is attached.
I chatted with EA support and got the following, which fixed the problem:
Please check these steps:
Access License Folder
Open File Explorer → Paste into address bar:
C:\ProgramData\Electronic Arts\EA Services\License
If path fails: Enable View → Show → Hidden items, then navigate manually.
Locate License File
Look for 71067.dlf or similar numbered .dlf files (e.g., 70619.dlf).
Delete and Relaunch
Delete the .dlf file → Restart the game.
If issues persist:
Repair the game via the EA App.
Reinstall the EA App if necessary
