Did that happen after you installed the new patch? Some folks cant play after they apply the patch.

Some suggestions i would recommend: Reinstall video card drivers, make sure you are runing the latest drivers.
Make sure your browser is up to date.

You might want to reinstall the game too and see if that fixes anything there might be some corrupted files that is preventing you from running the game.

I would also post this on BF3 forums perhaps somebody might have a fix there.

Yup, I get that as well. First game after I boot my computer always gets the "BF3 stopped working" message at the start. No problem after that. I can't seem to find a solution but I think I'll check my browser now (or try a new one) like Tiger suggested. I'm currently using IE 9.0.8112.16421

I have had crashes in the Alpha,the Beta and the full game.
I get the 'BF3 is not responding' error when launching a game,plus one that minimises BF3 during play that then has to be ended with Ctr/Alt/Del plus 1 more that completely locks up my system forcing a hard reset.

Believe me I have done EVERYTHING to try to sort this and so far nothing.
The odd thing is that sometimes I can play 4-5 rounds without issue yet sometimes only a minute or 2.
My only hope is that a future patch will sort it out.

I will try your tip though Dirt_Driver.

I was having that problem at release. I finally figured out it was my sound drivers. Might want to try updating them and see if that works.

Well after rebuilding my network over the last week I finally tried to get on to play last night. Now after this update I am getting Punkbuster kicks again.

I will keep trying to do some "fixes" and see what happens.

All my other "Punkbuster" games are working perfectly though. Dang EA.

After latest patch it seems this game became unplayable to me. Constant crashes over and over. And it's not just a game crashes, entire system takes a dump. First time for me seeing BSOD in a VERY long time in Win7. I guess I'll have to wait until next patch.

I'm also having problems. Takes an age to get into a game, can play for about 10 minutes. Then I get kicked. Then I can't get back into a game at all. Gets very frustrating.

I really feel for you guys with a lot of problems, one can only hope DICE get their act together and address these issues in the next patch.

email from EA

but cant be ass to do it.if anyone try let me know how you get on pete

Thank you for contacting Electronic Arts.

I am sorry to hear that you are still unable to play game. If you own an ASUS card (ATi or NV) and you installed the 'Smart Doctor' and/or 'ASUS Gamer' software then this is what's VERY likely causing you end of round crashes. All you need to do is uninstall Smart Doctor and ASUS Gamer, restart your computer and reinstall your video card drivers.

If issue persists then please follow the steps given below:

1) Goto the folder where Origin installed BF3 (C:\Program Files (x86)\Battlefield 3\ Battlefield 3™) (thats where mine was installed)

2) Rename the Battlefield 3™ folder to Battlefield 3 - (removing ™)

3)Start regedit , browse to the following key :

HKEY LOCAL MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WoW6432Node\EA Games
Change the GDFBinary & InstallDir paths to C:\Program Files (x86)\Battlefield 3\ Battlefield 3 - again removing ™

and it will launch fine

Note: when you rename the folder and edit the registry You have to make sure Origin is not running.

If there is anything else we may do to assist you please let us know.

Best Regards,

Akhilesh
