[HOW TO] Reinstall Battlefield 3 from disc

Hi,

when you are  (re)installing the game from disc and it was activated once before, you will find that your code

is not accepted anymore as it already has been used. Instead of running setup from the disc, use the

DOWNLOAD function in your Origin client.

So to (re)install:

# Download and install the latest Origin Client from the website. https://www.origin.com/download (if not installed already)

# Login to your Origin client.

# Put the Battlefield 3 disc in your DVD tray but do not start setup from the disc.

# Right click Battlefield 3 in you Origin client and choose "download"

Origin should detect the disc inserted and install from it. Once the game has been installed check for updates by right clicking

the game and choose "check for updates".

    Same thing for me. The game does not show in "myGames" in Origin ofter signing in. Not a good system for those who may have to replace a drive. One would think the key would go with the account...

    The key is linked to the account. If the game is not showing, make sure you are logging in with the right account

    and the game is not hidden. If it is still not showing, contact a game advisor to check your account.
