Re: "Waiting for game to exit"

Didn't work for me, used Firefox, says Waiting for game to Exit.

this has been a problem with firefox for the last few weeks, the game will join but the tag will say something like failed to join server. then when exiting the thing will hang for five minutes

I have the same problem with Battlefield 3. I've tried Chrome, Edge, and Firefox. However, I did figure out a way to get it to work (though it doe not fix the problem).

Steps:

 1) Try to join a game. Let it say "Waiting for game to exit" until it gives up and says "ERROR Could not launch game. Please make sure it's installed correctly" or "ERROR Could not communicate with BF3. Please use the Task Manager to close it down."

 2) Once you get one of those messages, hit the yellow "Reconnect" button and then immediately click the "Servers" button that will appear in the same area where the reconnect button was. 

After you follow those steps it should say Joining Server > Connecting and let you in. 

Hope this helps. Though if someone knows how to fix the problem all-together, that would be great. 

"Use another browser" is in no way a solving of the problem. If you went to a carshop to get your vehicle fixed you wouldn't take "take the bus!" as an answer, either.

ofc the problem still exists.

problem is origin it self --dont know why they using this f... origin for this game but if u got problems just kill origin and start again . Chrome working fine 

I think im gonna swith to steam and leave this f... origin games . Dont have any stranght too fight with new broke down updates to this f... origin *

its a problem with origin -and this f... login to AE and those * . game it self work fine . 100% this f.. new upgrade.

If u turn origin on and than w8 a while, origin will reboot it self and then u start bf3 or bf4 -- its because too many guys on bf1 or they just * up another upgrade

did not help me at all becuse im using firefox right now and i have the same problem that others have with other browsers

Wow this works just like you said, thanks bro.

me too...it dosent even work in firefox

I've the same problem :/ did u find any solution  ?

tried firefox as suggested .. but still same thing?

.... by hitting play campaign .. l have got as far as transitioning  so thanks

having followed you , thanks , l get to "loading level " and then ONLINE UN BATTLEFIELD 3 ON PC.... and then  nothing,, using (firefox)

Log out of Origin. then log back in. It's a desync with your cloud data.

I don't know what the file name is in the task manager. Nothing looks like BF4?
