Fixes for "Infinite Joining Server" Issue

The following has worked for myself, as well as a lot of other users that have had this problem for the last few days. Give it a try and if it works for you, let us know in this thread. If you have found another fix, be sure to post a reply below as well to let others benefit and get back in their game.

Fix 1: Log out of battlelog, Close out of your browser.

Run Origin as admin (Right click the icon and run as administrator)
Click play on Battlefield 4 in Origin (If you don't have BF4, use Origin Gametime)
Switch to BF3 in battlelog and join a server. Works in plugin free, or plugin mode.
 
Fix 2: Load into a BF4 server, once it starts to connect. Exit out of it by the blue bar on Battlelog (X) button and try loading into a BF3 server.
 
Fix 3: Another common fix is disabling 2 step login verification works to fix the issue, but its not recommended. Remember everyone, if disabling 2-step login verification is your solution, PLEASE don't forget to re-enable it later.  This will save you a lot of future headache in saving your account from being hacked / stolen.

    so i fixed my issue.

    initially, i only installed the steam version. it then came up with an error stating BF3 wasn't installed.

    I then installed the original BF3 from Origin and ran into the joining server hang issue.

    So, i had installed both the origin version of BF3 (non premium) and the premium Steam version

    I uninstalled Steam version, reinstalled the original BF3 and i can now join servers.

    it even recognises my premium status.

    thought i'd share just in case anyone else still has this problem too..

    I'm closing this thread to stop it being necroed.

    If you have any issues with Battlefield 3 please make a new topic about the issues you are having and what kind of steps you have tried to solve it.
