Issue with Steam version of Battlefield 3
When trying to open Battlefield 3 in any mode (Campaign, Co-op, Multiplayer), the EA app opens and displays the error in the picture attached. It only happens when using the Steam version. When I install it using the version I bought in the EA app, it works fine. It started happening after a recent EA app update and it started showing new splash screens when games are launched through Steam.
Battlefield 3 - windows 11 - steam
I originally purchased Battlefield 3 via the EA app, and everything worked fine. However, after I bought another copy of the game on Steam, I started running into an issue: whenever I try to launch the game, the EA app displays the error, "The game failed to launch due to an error on our end. Please try again later." This happens every single time. Reinstalling Windows 11 and the game didn't help; neither did trying different browsers or opening ports on my router. I suspect there’s a glitch on EA’s servers—specifically regarding the licenses (likely a duplication issue).
BF3 HELP （STEAM)
The Battlefield 3 I bought on STEAM can't be played properly. After changing the game launch method from LINK2EA to LINK2STEAM, I still can't play it normally. Here's what's happening: after launching the game from the web client, the main game program hangs after a few seconds and then closes. No game window appears during this time, and in the end, only the BF3WEBhelper process is left. CPU: E3 1230 v2, Motherboard: MS 7774 (H61), Graphics card: GTX550ti, Windows version: Windows 10 22H2 (19045.5247), all drivers are up to date.
Ribeyrolles 1918 Rank 10 mastery assignment Bug (Agents sending me to CMs)
Hello everyone, and specifically EA Community Managers, I am writing here as a last resort because I am completely trapped in an endless and absurd loop with EA Help/Live Chat, and I desperately need advice on how to reach someone who can actually resolve my issue. The Bug: During a match, I reached Rank 10 with the Ribeyrolles 1918 (Assault class). However, at the end of the round, there was a sync error/loading glitch. As a result, the game recognizes the weapon is at Rank 10, but the reward — the 'Ribeyrolles 1918 Mastery I' assignment (which allows unlocking gold-plated parts) — never unlocked. I have screenshots clearly proving the weapon is Rank 10 while the reward remains locked. The EA Support Nightmare (Case #258065496 & others): I know this is a known bug and that only EA Support has the account tools to manually grant missing assignments. However, my experience with the support agents has been completely bizarre: Agents 1 & 2 (The Mistakes): The first two agents tried to help, but they completely misunderstood the game mechanics. Instead of granting the weapon-specific assignment, they manually granted me general Class assignments (Assault, Medic, Sniper). This proves that support agents DO have the tools to manually grant content to accounts. Agent 3 (The Confusion): When I tried to explain that previous agents mistakenly gave me Assault/Medic class content instead of the weapon assignment, the agent asked: "You are missing content in Assault, Medic and ?" - completely missing the point. Agent 4 (The Delay): Suddenly, when I explicitly asked for the specific weapon assignment or directly for the gold parts, the agent claimed they had "technical issues" with their tools and told me to reach out later. Agent 5 (The Absurdity): The last agent claimed there is a "tool limitation" and they cannot make any grants. They told me to post on the EA Forums so Community Managers could help. When I pointed out that CMs always say only Support has the account tools for this, the agent literally replied: "As you will mention this issue to the EA community managers they will make changes in tools so that we can check your claims and help you out." Immediately after saying that CMs will code/change their support tools, the agent pasted a goodbye template and closed the chat. I have screenshots of this exact conversation. My Proposed Solutions (Ignored by Support): I offered the agents three incredibly simple ways to fix this: Manually grant the 'Ribeyrolles 1918 Mastery I' assignment. If assignments are bugged, directly grant the Gold-plated parts for the Ribeyrolles to my Armory (so we can skip the assignment entirely).Reset my Ribeyrolles 1918 rank to 9 or 0, so I can just level it up again and trigger the unlock naturally. My Question to the Community Managers:How do I break this loop? Tier 1 support agents are either misunderstanding the difference between a class and a weapon, lying about tool outages, or literally making up stories that Community Managers are going to update their internal EA Help tools.Is there any specific keyword, phrase, or method I can use to get my case escalated to a Tier 2 Specialist who actually understands the game and can just look at my screenshot and fix my account? Any help would be massively appreciated. Thank you!
Battlelog friends list is wiped out
I had my battlelog friends list since my Battlefield 3 days carried into Battlefield 4 - I even had friends on there that have passed away over the years. All GONE now - and now I see the icon over the friends list has changed: EA icon and now EA text? How can I restore my old friends list? Or is it a case of too bad so sad sucks for you now?
