Solved Battlefield 3

[AddRAM]

Can someone tell me how to start Battlefield 3 ?

Whenever I click on it`s icon it just takes me to a webpage.

If I click on Launch Campaign from the webpage, it does nothing.

Click on multiplayer or campaign from Battlelog to play what you want

 

[Dude]

also you can try to launch it from origin

 

[AddRAM]

When I click on Campaign, another windows opens, I click on Launch Campaign, and nothing happens.

If I use Origin, it just takes me to the same webpage.

I knew I should`ve just bought another PS3 game.

The game and the update took up 20 gigs on my ssd, and it won`t even start.

 

[Dude]

Could be origin is having issues (happens a lot after they update it) I just tried to launch the game and got a BSOD

Restarted the computer and launched again and it worked fine

Origin does have issues now and then

 

[AddRAM]

Is this not a normal game like Call of Duty, why does it have to go through a web browser.

 

[Dude]

I thought that at first too, but Battlelog is actually quite good. Yes it has problems every now and the (they were recently hit by a dos attack) but normally it works great. Try again later and hopefully its working.

That`s amazing, I buy a game and I have to hope a website is up and running ok, what`s up with that. :sarc:

That`s it, I`m going back to my PS3

I totally understand your frustration, but the game is really awesome on PC..you just had bad luck launching it. Give it about 30 minutes and try again, also reboot first

 

[AddRAM]

I just rebooted, no luck. I`m just amazed that you have to run it through a web browser.

According to the box, it only says you need an internet connection to activate the game.

Ugh !!

I`ll just keep trying.

I only got it because they were out of Mass Effect 3.

You can play the campaign offline, but I think you have to connect at least once to activate the game. To play offline

Go to Origin's option menu.
Click "Go Offline"
Click on play for BF3.
Enjoy Campaign without battlelog

You need to install the battlelog plugin. Then the game will launch after you click on the button. I think some where on the top right of the webpage it's there.

Good point Quad, it would show a down arrow where I circled in this pic if there is an update to the plugin or battlelog

 

[Quadrider10]

Or you can google search it. But you NEED battlelog installed otherwise it will not run.


Honestly that whole launching through a web browser ruins a lot of the game. Origin really screwed up on that one.
