Battlefield 3 gets stuck on "initializing" whenever I try to join a server using battlelog. Had the issue since I bought the game in 2020. Tried multiple fixes like "clear origin cache", "verify game file integrity", "reinstall origin", "Update punkbuster' etc. Didn't work. I bought the game on steam with all the DLCs. So the EA help guy ultimately added another copy through origin and the issue was resolved. Downloaded and launched the game through origin and it worked fine. Recently I tried to play a DLC map and battlelog gave me the message that I didn't have the DLC. Checked origin and it says go through steam to access the DLCs. And the steam version still has the same initialization problem. A game window pops up but its just a white screen and battlelog is stuck on the same initializing notification forever. Any fix for this so I can play the DLC maps?
