Hello!
That's because you lost the connection to the EA server. Try to restart your internet router and it should work. Also, it can be your firewall that blocks you to connect to other players (Nat: Strict). You can turn it off in the settings of your internet router.

Hi again!
The solutions in the thread is working fine. However, there will always be new problems every day.
I recommend you to try a different server region. If that dosen't work you can always try to port forwarding. Also, check so not too many using the internet router at the same time. (much traffic).
Feel free to come back here if you have more questions or need further help.

Guide to resolve "Battlefield 3 not working" error message when entering the "Initializing" phase:
Description of the problem :
This guide is based on my personal problems with Battlefield 3. I cannot promise that this fix will apply for all users but it worked for me.
This guide aim to resolve an error that occurs when Battlefield 3 enters the phase/stage "Initializing" when joining a server and the user gets a Windows error message stating that "Battlefield 3 has stopped working".
The cause of the problem is a corrupt file that is being downloaded when the user connects to the cloud system.
If you have this problem reinstalling Battlefield 3/ Origin/ PunkBuster or getting a new PC will not help since the same corrupt will be downloaded as soon as you try to join a server.
Instead you can follow this guidelines for a very quick fix of the issue.
Step by Step Guide:
1: Navigate to {PC username} > My Documents >Battlefield 3 > settings
2: Here you should be able to find a file named PROF_SAVE_BODY. Open this file, if it is completely blank you have found the roots of your problems, if the file is not blank this may not be your problem and this guide is unlikely to help you.
3: Delete this file.
4: Then open Origin and right click on Battlefield 3 in your game library.
5: Select "Show Game Details" and select the "Cloud storage" option next to "Details".
6: Deactivate cloud storage for Battlefield 3 or for all Origin games.
7: Now you can join a server. Battlefield 3 will notice that the file is missing and make a replacement file, this file will be using correct data and your problem should now be resolved.You can find the guide on battlelog as well: http://battlelog.battlefield.com/bf3/forum/threadview/2832654348438658077/1/

Hi there poxpoenic!
Try to launch the game from Battlelog or Origin instead and it should work. If the problem persists, make sure to close all background programs and repair/re-install Origin.
