Hi, fist time playing BF3 on PC. I start by opening Origin. Then I go onto chrome, login to Battlelog for BF3. I then try to launch the campaign and am stuck in 'Initialising'. I have the same issue when trying to join a server. Sometime I get a flat out 'cannot connect' error. Any help would be appreciated. Cheers! 🙂

@ragnarok013 Sorry, but no such luck, I've tried IE as well and nothing is working. I made sure to untick the box telling me to use the plugin free launch. Both campaign and MP still not working, I get the same issues as before, stuck forever on joining with the aforementioned errors from time to time. I noticed on various screenshots I've seen that people tend to have some sort of button in the top right to download the plugin, which I cannot see. Also, at no point does the BF3 programme icon even appear in my bottom tray. It's like it can't even start the game.:\

@ragnarok013 Latest update for Windows 10 (standard edition)Specs:i9-9900k (OC at 4.9GHz)RTX 2080Ti EVGA32 GB Corsair DDR4 RAMSamsung SSF 970 EVO Plus 1TB1TB Seagate HDDIDK if this is of any relevance, but a few months ago I merged my old Origin account into my new/main one, and BF3 was on my old account (though I imagine this shouldn't be a problem as licenses have been transferred over)

@ragnarok013 I have just re-ran those clean up scripts just, having launched origin as an admin. I have tried both having origin open before hand and letting it be opened from battlelog. No such luck im afraid : \ Worth noting when I run the cleanup and touchup tools, after hitting run, nothing seems to pop up/appear. It's getting really annoying not being able to play rn, nothing seems to be working :\

@ChrisM127 hey! Try to repair Battlefield 3 on Origin when that not helps pease try to reinstall the game!

No such luck after a clean reinstall. Immediately got an error unable to launch/connect when trying to launch the campaign/join a server through Battlelog on Chrome :\

@Aloisdidnothing ok, are these the files from the Battlefield 3 folder in My Documents? If so, are they not specific to you and your PC, or are they generic? Will I need to like delete any profile files etc. ?
