No Weapons bug on PC

Hi everybody.

I had been having this issue for such a long time I just gave up with Battlefield 3. I am pleased to say I found the fix for mine!

Now I don't know if it will be the same cause for everybody, but I bought the Russian version and then had to patch it for English. The problem was that there was no en.sb file in the Battlefield 3 folder path Data\Win32\Loc (which the Russian version had; a 1GB file!), and none of the patches and patch updaters had that file. 

The representative from the website I bought it (legitimate of course) was adamant the game should work after installing the patches (which by the way added up to about 20 mb of files), but it never did. I either got a black screen upon loading (after stuffing around with different combinations of the Data and Update folder's files, or no guns and nothing I could do about it.

SO FINALLY, I went looking on other websites for patches, and all the English patches were over 1.5 GB! so I downloaded one, took the en.sb from Data\Win32\Loc and put it into the Battlefield's corresponding folder, and hey presto! I may note that I didn't touch any other file after doing the English patches.

So for anybody with this glitch, go to My Computer\C:\Program Files folder, and either in Electronic Arts or Origin Games you'll find Battlefield 3, and just make sure you have this en.sb file. Hopefully this helps others, because I know how frustrating it is haha.
