    Worked it out, the issue is with Origin version 9.0...., had to install origin from disc with intenet connection turned off, once it had loaded turned connection back on and logged on without allowing the client to update itself from version 8.4... to 9.0.... What an absolute waste of time, the two biggest realeses so far of the year battle field 3 and mass effect 3 messed about by EA fidling with origin when it didn't need to be touched.

Well, before I saw your second reply I tried restart my modem and PC and worked, the download has continued

After my download has completed I'll try follow your tips to update my Origin, because still the same version..

And thank you for supporting me! --  SlimUP 08.17.2012

Well i repaired it without your help. Thx for the effort anyway. Just incase you find other ppl with this problem : I disabled the cloud sync and origin in game but it didnt work at first. I tried repairing the installation and then it just worked. Took a while to initialize though...thought its still stuck at first --  SHR0dingersCat 08.17.2012

    Thanks for trying to help, unfortunately I have tried all of those solutions mentioned in your links (the final link is exactly the problem I'm having but there is no solution for it). The issue is with Origin vs 9.0, previously with version 8.... I had no difficulties at all, the only issues have come since the upgrade. What I need is a version 8.0 of origin, or I fear I'll not be able to play it. 

    Thanks once again, but I'll have to keep on looking.
