Battlefield 3 wont launch on Win10
Launching BF3 on Steam launches bf3.exe and the bf3webhelper.exe
bf3webhelper launches my browser with the battlelog site and then closes/crashes.
Shortly after my bf3.exe also crashes.

Selecting a Server then results in a "joining Server" that lasts forever.

Running BF3 through Origin only allows me to play the campaign.

I tried switching browsers, disabling all my Extensions, changed the .par file of bf3.exe with http://par.nofate.me/ , deleted Origin Cache (reinstalled it manually the day before)


In the debug.log file inside the installation directory is the line
[ [0615/234336:WARNING:resource_bundle_qt.cpp(114)] locale_file_path.empty() for locale ]

i had the issue where battlefield refused to launch. I went to compatibility on origin and got it and the game to run as administrator. Origin will say its running in compatibility mode but thats fine. Battlefield has bee running fine since i made them both run as administrator. It was that simple

Now, I am wondering if my bf3 won't launch because I installed it on D drive where all my games are. Origin is still on C drive from last year because of Apex.

Going to redl Origin on D drive. Hope it works.


Update : Nope, still the same. Game won't launch. Even on battlelog.

Uninstalled Origin via the official uninstall guide (the hard way)
https://help.ea.com/en-us/help/origin/origin/manually-uninstalling-origin/#uninstall-advanced

Reinstalled to C, no technical beta etc...
doesnt work again
