Hello again,
I tried every step you said but to no avail.
Things i have tried so far including your suggestions:
1)Cleared Origin Cache
2)Repaired Origin and veryfied BF3's game cache on Steam
3)Run everything as admin.
4)Flushed DNS
5)Reinstalled BF3 and Origin too
6)Untick Proxy's settings
7)Time-date is correct.
8)Reset Opera's settings

EA Staff (Retired)@Oxytocin97 For the last step I know you had mentioned Opera, Origin on the back end uses Internet explorer specifically for certain tasks. Even if you use Opera as a daily browser for our steps we would need to focus on IE, can you try following the steps above to reset IE and see if this continues?
Hello again,
as you may already know IE is now Microsoft Edge.I set it as my default browser,i reset settings and i opened the battlelog there.It's the same thing.BF3 won't start again.
- @Oxytocin97 hey u fixed bf3 wont start problem ?cuz i have same problem now !
- @idruzei No and i have also come in touch with EA support.It seems than nothing can fix this problem and it's Steam's problem which in my opinion i think it isn't.It's clear EA's problem and they don't know how to fix it.Do you have already bought BF3 via Steam?
- @EA_Illium I can confirm this launching issue. BF3 launched perfectly fine yesterday for me on Origin and Steam and now it won't launch despite BF4 launching on both Origin and Steam for me today.
BF2 launches too perfectly.Only BF3 has a problem.It's a pitty that we can't even open it.
- @Oxytocin97 I just found a fix for it 5 minutes ago. Try these steps in order:
1. Uninstall Battlefield 3 in Steam
2. Hold the Windows key + R.
3. In the command box that opens, type %ProgramData%/Origin then click OK.
4. Go into LocalContent folder and delete Battlefield 3's folder
5. Navigate to This Pc /Local Disk (C🙂/Program Files (x86)/Steam/steamapps/common and delete the Battlefield 3 folder (your location may be different if you didn't use the default installation location)
6. Restart your PC
7. Install Battlefield 3 on Steam. Hit Play in Steam to finalize Installation
8. Join a server via Battlelog while Steam and Origin are both running.
