Problem with BF3 Server-Browser - wrong playercounts on many servers
Hello, there is a major problem going on with the Server-Browser. Multible Servers show wrong Player-counts. So for example this server here shows always >50 players, but its empty: https://battlelog.battlefield.com/bf3/servers/show/pc/b8f941dd-3dc1-4d08-abfc-b3d78afe5eb3/JAH-Warriors-09-Conquest-Maps-Votemap-64-Slots/ This error results in people joining and leaving all the time. Because there are multible servers showing the same "wrong-player-count-error" I dont think the cause is from the servers itself. I think the BF3-Masterserver, that manages the serverbrowser has a problem. Could someone from EA please restart the service, or look for the problem? I know BF3 is a old game, but there are still many players. I for myself (as a passionated chopperpilot) waited years and years so finally a BF-Version came back with an attack-chopper again, but got hardly dissapointed from BF2042. The gunner has no TV-rocket any more, and the flight-physics was much better in BF3..... So if is not possible for EA to get a chopper-experience back like we have in BF3, atleast please make the Server-Browser work again. Otherwise me (and the rest of the community) would also be happy with "BF3 remastered" = Same physics, but better grafics 😉952Views0likes4CommentsHow do I delete or deactivate my account?
How do I delete or deactivate my account? I have searched through the forum for a way to do this and every single time it just sends me to another page, then another and back again sending in a loop. This is getting ridiculous, and I am so frustrated with this. I believe my account was hacked as when I try to buy a game through Xbox it gives me a verify email and phone number that I do not know and obviously have no access to. I have made sure that this was not on Xbox's end, and it appears to be through EA. It has only happened when I try to purchase EA games, and I have no other accounts associated through Xbox but found that my EA account has two other usernames that I do not know. Though the Q&A's I understand that I need to create a ticket or case to delete my account but I am not given the option to do so as the pages are just telling me that I need to "speak to an advisor" when I click on the link to do so it sends me to "how do I delete my account" and again to "speak to an advisor" I used the AI Beta chat to try to get a phone number to contact for customer service in America and it gave me 1-866-543-5435 which was a sex hotline. This is beyond frustrating as I do want to continue to play EA games but the fact that I am having so much difficulty with this is beyond crazy. Is there an email that I can use to contact customer service to delete my account as I wish to do so through email rather than over the phone. If anyone knows what email to use, I would greatly appreciate it.SolvedBattlefield 3 only in Russian langauge
Hello all, so after years i wanted to download and play again this goergous game. But there is only Russian language pack to install in this "beautiful" EAapp. Years ago when i pre-ordered the BF3 there were options to choose the language. The copy i ordered was physical disc from local store, not from cheap websites/russian version. My region is post-soviet country - Slovakia but they are not ruling our region anymore. So my question is, how can i change the language? There are some 10 years old videos but they seem out-dated a bit. Thank you5KViews1like24CommentsBattlefield 3 Server Issues Since Mar. 6, 2024
Can any dev or community manager provide clarity on what maintenance was performed a couple of weeks ago? Since this maintenance, our BF3 PC server has been crashing. I have been talking to multiple server owners and the same thing is happening to them. So we have decided to start testing different server settings and here's what we have found out so far: Servers that are utilizing 1 single map i.e operation metro, are not crashing. Servers that have a map rotation, whether it's been set up as a vote map or just an automatic 'next map' are not lasting longer than a couple of matches, then they disappear from Battlelog not allowing any new players to search and eventually the server crashes. This has been a massive headache and nightmare for server owners and this has only started since this last maintenance. So I ask, can we get some clarity on what maintenance was performed? Is EA intentionally trying to get rid of Battlefield 3 without officially announcing such? CM edit: edited title for clarity.8.6KViews18likes170CommentsBF3 M1911A1 DISAPPEAR

I've been having trouble playing Battlefield 3 recently: the game won't always launch through the Battlelog, and doesn't even appear to launch from Origin. A few times I've even launched Origin and the game just won't have the "Play" option, instead it'll just show me "Details". Other options like "Repair" or "Update game" aren't available either in these cases. When clicking on a server in the browser to join it, half the time the game refuses to launch, with an error message saying "Could not start, please verify that you have the latest version and can start the game from Origin." When trying to join a Back To Karkand server, the game doesn't acknowledge the fact that I do own it - I have the Limited Edition as well as the Premium - and another message appears basically telling me to buy it. Furthermore, when I try to repair the game or even update it, Origin crashes. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling both Origin and Battlefield 3, with all its DLCs, and the problem still persists... I've been playing Battlefield 3 on PC since 2017 and never had that before. Could anyone please help me? I don't know what else I could doSolved15KViews14likes18CommentsReducing Sun Glare
Hello 🙂 First of all I want to express what great job you are doing , EA & DICE for the Battlefield games and community . But I think you kind of went a bit too far with the realism in the Sun Glare feature . I consider my self a casual player and I hate it when I have to be with my team infront of the sun . This makes us move really slow , distracts us very much and not to mention when you get shot from that ''blind'' spot . So I had to look up for some solutions and I found some console commands . I already talked to a member of EA Support and he redirected me here . So I wanted to know are these commands safe and do they really reduce or remove the sun glare 🙂 - "GstRender.Enlighten 0" - "GstRender.Brightness 0.394186" - "GstRender.Contrast 0.400000" Thanks in advance 🙂8.8KViews0likes4CommentsWhy are the servers shutting down ?
I really don’t know why EA has to shut down the servers for this legendary game. It still has a decent player base both on Xbox and PS. I thought this game would last a lot longer because it has server rentals.. and literally every server is player hosted.. meaning people are paying to keep this game running. So what’s the issue ?11KViews0likes11CommentsBf3 Coop won't launch
