Game Manger Issue

Most of the time I get the box saying I need to update the game manager. When I do click it it tells me everything is up to date. When you click continue the box does not go away. When it does it will only do so for a very brief moment and come back up.

Other times I will get the blue update indicator, but I can't download the update.

I've found and updated this update manually a number of times.

Sometime I even get the joining server prompt. However it never works. I think it crashes just as it connects. It did seem to work while I was in cue though.

Obviously something is wrong since a number of us are having the same exact issue. (Check the Battlefield 3 Tech Forum)

BTW I tried all the tricks. 

I even uninstalled Origin and all of Battlefield 3 and re-installed it. It took a while to re-download it all. It still did not fix the issue for me. 

So far the only fix I've found was to use Chrome instead of IE. 

I've also read that you have the same issue with Foxfire, however when I tried it seemed to work for me. 

As a result of all this I'm seriously considering NOT getting B4.
