Yess the same, started yesterday... and i played the dlc the day before yesterday.

I'm waiting steam support, EA can do nothing but now i know that is not only my problem and if i not make a mistake the problem appeared for all at "the same time".

It shoul (must) be a steam problem...

Is it the Back to Karkhand DLC? If it is it's normally an account entitlement issue that requires you to contact EA Customer Support - they can correct that for you.

Same here . It started to happend jyesterday just after an update of Origin client was installed.
In Battlelog I can see I own Premium edition with all DLCs but in Origin client it is only shown Limited Edition.
Does anyone know how could fix it? Thanks.

Glad I'm not the only one having this problem. It started for me when I got disconnected from EA online during a match. After that I can only play the basegame, no DLC.

Same. It was asking me to download B2K dlc, what I did is disconnect from battlelog/origin and start the game from Program Files(x86)\Origin Games\Battlefield 3\bf3.exe, and then it worked.

Might be worth a try.

It could, but how do you have bf game files in that folder? I have all of it in the steam library folder and I can’t download the game with origin.

In every case I can try start the game with the exe file in my steam library dir.

I tried to run bf3.exe direcly from the installation folder Steam\steamapps\common\Battlefield 3 but it didn´t work.
I have also uninstalled it from the steam library and uninstall origin and punkbuster and install all again but notjing works.
