Hi bnersek16!
At first, download and install the latest version of Origin at www.origin.com/download (and make sure you have your Origin account ready as well) and run Origin.exe as administrator. Get sure that Origin.exe is added to the exception list of your antivirus/firewall software. Some antivirus software could block applications even while it is disabled.
Open your Origin client, go to "My Games" -> click "DS3" -> choose "Repair Install". Additionally, re-install DS3 via Origin.
Sometimes, this issue can be related to the cloud storage.
Open your Origin client, click on “Show Game Details”. Then you go to the cloud button on BF3 and uncheck the “enable cloud storage for all games” box. Launch the game.
If that helped, you can try to enable the cloud storage after a restart; it might work after with the cloud storage function. Make sure to use the local data when the information box popping up.
Please keep us updated!
