Fix for problem with Battlefield 3 launch error
If you get an error message from Origin while starting Battlefield 3 which looks like
"There is a Problem with your game setup. Please reinstall your game." in your local language
(german installation: "Es gibt leider ein Problem mit dem Spiel-Setup. Bitte installieren Sie das Spiel erneut." et. al.) you can try the following to fix the problem:
- Install Microsoft Internet Explorer 9! BF3 will most likely not work without IE9, especially on Windows Vista! This is actually the most common fix for people who "did everything right".
- uninstall Origin (backup your download folder before), download the latest Origin version from EA's website and reinstall in a directory without special chars (blanks, exclamation marks, non-english characters, etc.). C:\Origin should work.
- Right click Battlefield 3 in Origin and choose to repair your installation. It will take some time and the installer will download corrupt files again.
Or the usual:
- Install the latest Windows Service Pack and updates via Windows Update (Start->System Settings->Windows Update). BF3 requires Service Pack 2 on Windows Vista x64 / x68!
- Install the latest drivers for your graphics card from their website
- Install DirectX 11 from microsoft.com
If these solutions don't work for you, you can still have a look at C:\ProgramData\Origin\Logs and read the log files. You will find most errors marked red in ORIGIN_Core_Log.html.
