Can't Install/Download Battlefield 3
So I once in July bought Battlefield 3 on Steam but then I refunded it. And then I bought it again via Origin but now I cannot install it. I can try to install the DLC and then it directs me to Steam...
Forum Discussion
I'm trying to download Battlefield 3 Limited Edition in order to play with a friend and when i press download nothing happens. I tried to close origin and relaunch it and still nothing... I even tried reinstalling origin and the problem is still there.
Edit: After the last relaunch of origin i can't see download button but a "details" button (see screenshot)
- I had the same problem, but I eventually got it to download.
I went to origin.com and logged in, then went to my library there, selected BF3 and clicked "play on origin". After that the browser asked if I'd allow this site to open the link with my installed Origin and after accepting it opened Origin and it started the installation normally. Had Origin installed an was logged in.Didn't work for me ☹️
Also, whenever I try to download it again, it sometimes shows the download button, but won't start downloading when I click on it.Nothing works..
- @Negativ22 In another thread someone said
that the solution worked for him, but only after closing Origin in task manager.
- @PcGameRepublic Jup, same exact issue, many people have it. I heard it has something to do after an origin update, not sure. Hope they fix it soon
I have just reinstalled Origin on my pc and when i go to install BF3 there is no button to download it, it only has the Details button. I have owned the game since the game first launched.
- @xH3LLBLAZ3Rx Click on the details button and then click on the extra content tab and you should see all the expansion packs. Click on download on one of them and then it should start and also start the bf3 download. Just had this exact problem this past weekend.
