i Have BF3 : Premium Edition.
I started getting this message the other day and have tried everything short of deleting everything.
Tells me to repair through origin but that doesn't fix it.
Help meeeee!
It's hard to help you when you don't state what you have tried. So here is a generel list of solutions you could try. Only use those you find relevant.
This list is made by a good friend Carbonic:
-Please write descriptive (also the subject line) so the right people find your question and knows what it contain
-Try restarting your computer and network equipment (routers, switches etc.)
-Try another browser (Chrome/FireFox/IE)
-Can't find your game? Make sure you have bought BF3: Premium Edition and not just Premium.
-Check the Origin server status: http://www.origin.com/us/status
-Try cleaning your browsers' cache and temporary files using CCleaner (http://www.piriform.com/ccleaner)
-Try repairing your game in Origin (right click -> repair)
-Try reloading your games in Origin

-Update ALL your drivers especially the graphics card but also components like soundcards, network card, motherboard/chipset, headset and mouse+keyboard, to the newest version, if the problem came with a new driver then remove that driver and downgrade to the driver that worked.
-Use Windows eventviewer to look at the error in xml and copy/paste the solution here
-Run Origin and Battlefield 3 as administrator (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/ff431742.aspx)
-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.

If none of this worked, post relevant logfiles, screenshots, descriptions, exact errormessages, and all other relevant information(like platform) - even if it's stupid and obvious (there's alot of clueless people on the internet ;-) )
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.
Kind regards, Tviggah
k, i've tried everything there that is relevent.
Just tried reinstalling Origin and still the same.
I start connecting to a game through Battlelog, it starts loading the level then I get the error. Does the same in Campaign.
This is on PC.
It was working fine on sunday. Nothing else on my PC has changed.
You might try to scan your harddrive using the built in tool. That could solve the repair not working if you have a bad sector on your harddrive.
"sfc /scannow" only scans protected Windows files and thus it wont scan the Battlefield 3 directory.
You need to right click the harddrive which BF3 is on, then click properties and look for tools and click the error checking tool 🙂
I have the same problem with my spore games. I've tried fixing them numerous times and even uninstalled them! But It doesn't seem to work!
