BF 3: Game gets stuck on black loading screen

When launching the game, all I get to is the black screen with "LOADING" and the flashing cursor. All patches are up to date & I have already reinstalled Origin. Originally, I was getting PB comm errors which lead me to reinstall origin, but that has now made it worse.

How do I play this game with so many repetitive erros?

    Could you provide us some information about your system specifications? That would help a lot to find working solutions.

    In the meantime, please try following troubleshooting steps:

    Go to your custom settings of your video-card software. Disable all extra options for enhanced graphics and set the preferences for AA and anisotropic to “use application settings”.
    Set the BF3 graphic options to “low quality” or reduce AA and anisotropic filtering to a minimum.
    Launch the game, if the issue is solved, you can try to set the graphic options higher.

    Sometimes, this issue can be related to the cloud storage.
    Open your Origin client, click on “Show Game Details”. Then you go to the cloud button on BF3 and uncheck the “enable cloud storage for all games” box. Launch the game.
    If that helped, you can try to enable the cloud storage after a restart; it might work after with the cloud storage function. Make sure to use the local data when the information box popping up.

    Keep us updated!
