Battlefield 3 not working on AMD x2 3800+ and GT520 ? (Web crap)

Hello,

It seems Battlefield 3 has devolved into web-crap.

Battlefield 2 already had a bad/slow game browser, but Battlefield 3 seems
to be simply ridicilous.

The game doesn't even start so I have no idea if it's working.

It's also impossible to start your own server so it's mostly all full.

And when it does find a free server it says:

"Joining Server..." forever...

Does this mean Battlefield 3 won't play on AMD X2 3800+ and GT520 ?!?

The processor is a bit old, dual core, but the GT520 is brand new... it's
DX11 capable.

Here is a screenshot showing the bad server joining and web-crap in action:

(Also it seems to use punk baster crap, but it's not enabled, maybe that the
problem ?

Perhaps later I will try on my Mom's laptop.

So far the experience has been quite bad... origin beta buggy, all kinds of
web crap necessary to install....

It installs, but no game... not even a game menu, thumbs down from me for
now

Hmmmm....

I can remember the Origin (download manager) to want and restart my system
?! Which was very weird really, I didn't do that because I did not see a
real reason to do that for a game.

But maybe punk buster needs the system to be restarted.

So I just rebooted/restarted the computer.

Now I will give it another try...

During the windows startup I heard a couple of beeps, so it probably
installed something.

So maybe it will now working.

Going to try again, I will report back later !

Bye,
Skybuck =D

Well, after the reboot it's still not working.

I checked if punkbuster is running and according to services it's running.

However some time ago I tweaked some services and disabled them like
workstation, these are only needed for debugging or so.

I do wonder if perhaps Battlefield 3 requires certain services to be
running, but that would be weird for a game.

Usually games don't need special services to be running.

The reboot didn't help, it's still joining the server forever:

Well so far this has been the worst beta game ever, it doesn't even show a
game menu !

My conclusion for now:

Total crap.

If it works for you great ! If it doesn't better cancel that pre-order !
=D

Bye,
Skybuck =D

After people seem to have the same problems, one of them recommended trying
with windows firewall off... I already checked those settings and
Battlefield 3 was added to the public networks to allow it.

None the less, I tried with firewall off anyway, still not working:

For now it's nice to know that their webcrap isn't working.

But still no judgement of their actual game... perhaps their game is so
bad... that they don't want people to play it ! =D

Well I wasted enough time on their webcrap for now (about 1 hour).

Time to go on with life and do some other stuff...

I'll try again a couple of times until 10 oktober, but I doubt it's going to
work any time soon

Bye,
Skybuck.

(I also give it one last try by making sure the 32 bit internet explorer was
running, at least I think so, also didn't work)

Anyway:

Now I totally understand this "99 problems in Battlefield 3 music/trailer
from Jay-Z" ! LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL.

There is some hidden fun/message in there ! =D

It's more like

9999999999999999999999999999999999 problems in Battlefield 3 when I read
what people are writing about it ! LOL.

Bye,
Skybuck =D

(Could be a dutch issue, maybe a fix):

**** it, this is why I hate dutch software. I never said I wanted dutch
software.

I just want the bloody ****ing english version.

Perhaps the "dutch" translation of the folder names is causing problems !?

Apperently the folder name for the dutch version is beta with an apostrophe
or whatever the ****ing french ****ing thing is called.

So somebody is suggesting to try this fix:

I shall try this fix:

Use google translate to translate it for ya, cause I am too busy to
translate it for ya know... but I ll report back to see if these changes
help make it work or not !

-------VOLLEDIGE FIX (UPDATED)--------

Mocht je spel het niet doen, ongeacht welke error je dan ook hebt, dit is DE
FIX!

1. Ga naar je installatie folder.
32-bit: "C:\Program Files\Origin Games\Bèta Battlefield 3"
64-bit: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Bèta Battlefield 3"

2. Verander de foldernaam naar "Beta Battlefield 3" in plaats van "Bèta
Battlefield 3"

3. Open regedit (Uitvoeren regedit) en wijzig de volgende sleutels (LET
OP: Check welke versie bij jou hoort)


Voor X64:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\EA Games\BF3 Beta
Deze wijzigen: "GDFBinary"="C:\Program Files\Origin Games\Beta Battlefield
3\GDFBinary_en_US.dll"
En deze: "Install Dir"="C:\Program Files\Origin Games\Beta Battlefield 3\"


Voor X86(32Bit):

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\EA Games\BF3 Beta
Deze wijzigen: "GDFBinary"="C:\Program Files\Origin Games\Beta Battlefield
3\GDFBinary_en_US.dll"
En deze: "Install Dir"="C:\Program Files\Origin Games\Beta Battlefield 3\"
"
