@Ctu-DZThis works.
"I found the solution
1- Close the Origin program.
2- Open your account on the site.
3- Click on ( play on Origin )
4- Wait for the program to open You can download the game directly and agree to the terms and congratulations
I found this solution on my own
I suspect that there is a bug in the program that does not send the download command for some games and you must send the command from the site"

Thank you very much. I've been dealing with this problem for a while even formated my windows (cause i needed as well) and nothing worked.

Tryed clearing cache, reinstalling origin, even got and old backup of the game but as I tried to repair the game origin just crash.

@Ctu-DZ Thanks for this.

I had contacted EA support about this issue and they said it was being looked into - but offered me no solution other than to wait.

It would be super helpful if someone at EA would point people in this direction as it acted as a work-around to the problem for me.

  Hey all,
  
  This is an issue we've been tracking for a while. The team is working on getting this fixed, but right now I'm afraid we don't have a time frame on when it might be resolved. I have seen a few workaround posted that have helped in some cases, but I've also heard from others who have mentioned they are still having the same issue after trying them.
  
  For now, I'd recommend trying out the workarounds that have been posted in this thread to see if it helps. Hopefully we can get the actual issue fixed soon so this stops happening. Thanks for your patience on this while it's under investigation.

    EDIT 2: It seams that launching the multiplayer trough google Chrome adds/is responsible/, for the problem ( again when i try to enter a multiplayer game i got the mesage inside Origin client stating that Back to Karkand is not installed).
    Use mozilla or diferent browser than chrome.
    EDIT 1: It appears that disabling, "Enable Origin In Game for Battlefield 3™ Limited Edition", inside origin client leads to this.
    If the game is installed i got eror mesage stating that Back to Karkand expansion is not installed ( i got Limited Edition).
    For now alowing the In game Origin function does the trick.
    The problem is cause be stalled/stuck webhelp process - once u try to delete the "C:\ProgramData\Origin\", there is a process hodling the "C:\ProgramData\Origin\ServiceLogs" folder that u cant delete (ive used a 3rd party program to unlock the folder and saw the process hodling the folder webhelper.exe).
    Also for me worked the web start method - u open origin.com login, click on your game (BF3 in my case), open with origin and from there i was able to start the download process. It happend today on a fresh win 10 pro installed and updated. At the begining of initial origin install, ive encouterd a msvcp 140 (something) error, related to missing vc 2015 redistribuatbles.
