I tried the clear cookies and cache etc... did NOTHING ... This problem has stopped me completely from playing this PAID FOR game.
I am really getting pretty angry here. Why do products get shipped WITHOUT BEING TESTED!!!??? What kind of crap is this?
I want an answer NOW from someone at EA NOW... I am tired of **bleep** software put out before its tested. Having been the leader of a quality assurance software division I can tell you this stuff really pisses me off.
EA, answer now please...
Check for current outages and bugs:
- Check the Battlefield server status: ( http://www.ea.com/servers/battlefield3 )

After that, try the following things:

- Go to the cloud button on BF3 and uncheck the “enable cloud storage for all games” box. Launch the game, quit it and re-enable the cloud storage box. Make sure to use the local data when the information box popping up.
Please accept solutions if they are correct and press the XP button if somebody helped you. This way you help others in the same situation.

Since this is your first post in this thread can you tell us what browser you are using instead of just getting angry? This game has been out since 2011, well before the current internet browsers were released so the game was tested and worked with the then current browsers before being released.
There are known issues with IE 10 and above and the battlelog plug in, so if you are using Internet Explorer 10 downgrade to IE 9 or lower or do what I did and install firefox or Chrome to play BF3 which both work with the battlelog plug in.
