Simple Fix to get Battlefield 3 to work
This took me hours to get to work but finally figured it out, no thanks to the dickwads at ea. for all those people that are getting the game to freeze when launching the game, right click on battlefield 3 in Origin, not steam go to game properties, and in the general section DESELECT the option there which says enable origin in game for battlefield 3. also if you set it to offline mode you can bypass having to go through the battlelog crap to launch the game. for multiplayer this method should also work, except you will have to log into battlelog first obviously before launching it through the website. hope that helps

Nope. Still not working
This is the biggest pile of sh!t I have ever encountered. To change windows just for one game is absolutely foock!ng outrageous. Tried speaking to EA support and those d!ckheads told me: Oh it is launched via steam so it is steams problem not ours.
Piling garbage and taking money for it is the way to go for EA.
No one is taking any actions, EA doesn't wanna know and steam in support tells you that there might be some other programms running in the bckground and interfering with steam...I have foock all turned on, I don't even have anti virus (other than defender) no msi afterburner no riva nothing. And the BF3.EXE pops up for 0,5 sec in task manager and then shuts down. I have literally tried every single one of t he tutorials and solutions I could find on the we, nothing works.
If they are taking money for the game make it foock!ng playable, what is the point. This must be the worst $h!t I have ever try to run. Some ppl have to roll back win update or reinstall windows..beacuse of one $h!tty-a$s game? Are you freaking kidding me? This is typical, Gaben got paid, EA got paid no one gives a one single flying foock afterwards.
It doesn't run? It is your problem, deal with it and feck off.
Time to carry on playing CSGO, R6 and Warzone.

Personally, what this calls for is a boycott. Punish these greedy companies until they learn how to do right by the customer, not just the shareholders.

This worked perfectly for me. Also being logged into Battlelog in your browser before opening seems to help accelerate the process.

Why anyone would buy this on steam is beyond me, works perfectly fine without any crashes through origin, so, yeah, it is a steam problem.
