does reinstalling origin not make a difference?

Maybe post on Origins site. We're not their tech support. They would know better than us.

I had the same problem about a year ago, damn Origin, Punkbuster and all their problems... really hope it's sorted for BF:4

Ok let me try and remember what I did (ok that's impossible)

However I can make some suggestions:

Uninstall BF:3 completely, uninstall Origin.

Reinstall both, go into account settings deselect save to cloud.

Pause the update reset your router and restart it after 1 minute.

Make sure Origin is still Online (even thought you disconnected for 1 min) click unpause and see if it updates now.

There was an error I also got in 2011 that stopped at 99%

If this problem persists right click on Battlefield 3 and select repair install. It will only download possible corrupted files if you have any.

Let me know if your Punkbuster gives problems once you get into the Battlelog

Good luck & hope I could help

azafam :

Did you make sure every folder (including the Battlefield 3 folder in My documents), add or remove programs ect. were deleted? In other words did you do a clean install as I suggested?

Is your firewall blocking the update? Be that Windows firewall or you A.V. firewall. Make sure to set it on allow for both Origin & Battlefield 3

Try this:

#Run Command Prompt in Adminstrator mode.

#Type "netsh int ip reset C:\resetlog.txt" without quotes.

#Restart.

I am at work and quite busy but try that in the mean time.

Did you try what I suggested? the "try this?"

If that did not work then just delete Origin completely and redownload that if you don't want to redownload BF3. Shouldn't be bigger than 32Mb give or take

getochkn · Aug 7, 2013

You said you deleted the game? Did you remove it from Origin or just delete the folder? If you deleted the folder, there is probably registry keys left over that could be jamming it up or a file in Origin's folder that is messing it up.

grab ccleaner and run the file cleaner then run the registry cleaner multiple times till it finds no errors, see if this helps at all.

Christiaan Lourens :

mauller07 · Aug 7, 2013

azafam · Aug 7, 2013

mauller07 :

ok i did like you say

i tried ccleaner

nothing changed

azafam · Aug 7, 2013

mauller07 :

ok dude i wanna ask you a question

do you have BF3 on your pc or does any of your friends have it ??

i could download the game manually from origin i just wanna know where to put the game exactly like the programme do so origin think i downloaded the game and allow me to play

because everytime i click on the game origin tells me that i didnt installed it right

mauller07 · Aug 7, 2013

i have it on my pc and its custom set to be in my origin folder, i done it manually before origin changed to install games in the origin folder because it used to want to install the game in program files and i had origin on a different HDD.

check in origins options where its installing games.

azafam · Aug 7, 2013

mauller07 :

damnit

i found the folder but it keeps telling me that the game appeared not installed

is there any possible if my copy windows let origin not work as it should be ??

Contact EA's support. They will give you the walkthrough. If not I have had this issue before and it is a pain in the ass to rid yourself of, It is hard to explain but is fixable. Ever heard of teamviewer?

Christiaan Lourens · Aug 8, 2013

OK I misunderstood your post then, so you already have the game fully downloaded somewhere but Origin thinks you don't?

Because you possibly moved it?

Do this:

Copy your full game onto the desktop into a new folder just name it new folder

Then what you do is delete your old battlefield 3 folder (the 1 where the game use to be)

Click on Origin and click download game. Pause the game update right afterwards, now copy your content from the desktop new folder into the folder that Origin created.
