Is Origin working properly in your system? did it download and install the ~450MB update after you installed it ?

Removed tm from the folder? Ahem ahem, no one here will help you out my friend. Sorry.
 
oh crap.

Uninstall the game, battlelog, and origin. Use a registry cleaner. And reinstall every thing.

Re-opened the thread. There is no specific indication stating that it's an illegitimate copy. Also, the re-name 'TM' is simply removing the trademark sign in front of the BF3 folder. It's also posted on EA UK's official forum: BF3 Launch Problem

If anyone finds something otherwise, let me know and I'll deal with it.

^^ Yes , I saw this issue stated in one thread in BattleLog forum. But the doubt is that the OP didn't specify anything related to Origin or BattleLog, Currently legitimate copies can be opened only through Origin/BattleLog Website, Clicking on Battlefield 3 Shortcut will still require him to be logged into Origin. As the OP also didn't answer to my Query posted regarding Origin, it seems obvious that the user does not have a legit copy.

OP just PM'd me stating that he logged in today to check the thread and found that it was closed down. I suppose, that's the reason why he couldn't reply. So let's wait for his reply.

can any1 explain tht when i installed it on friend's, it worked fine,
but not on mine.
he uses amd 5670., 11.9 catalyst.
do my avast antivirus has smthing 2 do with it.
he ran it on windows 7.
also tell, is it wrong to tweak graphic settings through other softwares, cuz what i observed is that this could be some graphic card issue.
i changed evry setting to high and switched on through graphics card. i also install hydravision and every amd utility every time along with catalyst suite. and i tried overclocking also.

AND TO THOSE WHO ARE BLAMING FOR PIRACY,
I TOO KNOW THAT ORIGIN IS REQUIRED AND AN INTERNET CONNECTION TOO, CUZ GAME CAN BE STARTED ONLY AFTER LOGIN WINDOW OF BATTLELOG.

DONT CALL A GAME PIRATED BEFORE KNOWING EVERYTHING.
EVEN THE GENUINE ONE SHOWS SOMETIMES SOME ERRORS.

it ran fine on friend's
he uses amd 5670, windows 7

i doubt origin updated itself but it was not 450 MB. cuz it took only 5 mins, not possible.

wt friend told- dont tweak default settings of amd catalyst suite, which i always shift to high.
he told me not to overclock my gc.
i also use fraps , to get frame rate and record videos.

SHOULD I FOLLOW HIS SUGGESTIONS,

it worked fine on friend's
he uses amd 5670, win 7

note:
he told me not to chng default settings in amd catalyst suite, not to overclock
cuz i always overclock first, and shift all settings to maximum.
I ALWAYS USE FRAPS,
is avast has smthing 2 do with it.

CUZ M GETTING AN OVERALL CONCLUSION TO REMOVE ALL THESE AND THEN INSTALL A FRESH COPY AND TRY.

NOTE 2: MY ORIGIN UPDATE TOOK 5 MINS ONLY, DEFINETELY IT WAS NOT 450 MB IN SIZE,
 
You should probably reinstall the game, battlelog and origin. And this time keep watching the installation, it should definitely download a 450mb update.


Its rather sad that Origin doesn't have a file integrity checker. This would make things so much easier. :(

@Shivam24: you still haven't answered my question about Origin. Does it run properly?

Try to troubleshoot in the following order.

1. Can you login to you Origin account from the Origin Client?
2. Does your Origin Client crash after Logging in. if possible post the Origin Client Version number.
2. Can you see a BattleField 3 Entry in Orign.
3. Can you login to BattleLog
4. Is this issues with SP Campaign only or can you start any MP Maps or Co-Op Mission.

Please troubleshoot in the above order.
