i cant launch battlefield 3

Hey there, 

I moved your post here to the BF3 boards so you can also get assistance from other BF players who might have seen this error before. 

Apart from updating EA app and your GPU driver, have you tried any other steps? 

I'd suggest repairing the game in the EA app to start with and try a full reinstall if that doesn't solve the problem. 

Hello @SANA2901,

Check out the following troubleshoot list for a possible fix.

1. System Requirements Check:

   • Ensure your PC meets the minimum system requirements for Battlefield 3. Check the official system requirements on EA's website.

2. Update Graphics Drivers:

   • Outdated graphics drivers can cause games not to launch. Update your GPU drivers to the latest version from the manufacturer's website (NVIDIA, AMD, or Intel).

3. Verify Game Files:

   • Sometimes game files can become corrupted. Verify the integrity of the game files through the game launcher (if available) or through the game's properties in your game library (e.g., Steam, EA app).

4. Restart Your Computer:

   • A simple restart can sometimes resolve launch issues by clearing temporary files and resetting system configurations.

5. Run as Administrator:

   • Right-click on the game's executable or shortcut and select "Run as Administrator". This can help with permissions issues that prevent the game from launching.

6. Disable Background Applications:

   • Background applications, especially overlays (like Discord overlay), can interfere with game launches. Try disabling them before launching the game.

No problem @EA_cuervo, I hope the issue will be resolved. 😉
