Brief FAQ on the game from DICE. How to run Battlefield 3? Gameplay issues and solutions

In 2011, EA Games finally decided to take the lead in shooter games. The Swedish development studio DICE, known for the Battlefield series of games, took on her dream. Of course, as before in the game space, there was a huge competition between games of the FPS genre. However, Activision still remained the main rival with its Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 project, which was supposed to appear on store shelves a week after the release of Battlefield 3. The Call of Duty series has long been criticized for the outdated engine and self-copying, so the eyes of many gamers rushed towards Battlefield 3. And here they did not fail.

How to run Battlefield 3
The fact is that DICE has brought much more innovations to its project. First of all, this is the new Frostbite 2 engine, which gave out just an amazingly beautiful picture, and the physics and destructibility of the environment left far behind all competitors. The game is a combination of single, multiplayer and cooperative modes, each of which is unique and interesting for passing. The main one remains multiplayer, which unfolds on huge maps with a large arsenal of weapons and equipment.

Battlefield 3 does not start through Origin
However, not everything is so beautiful in Battlefield 3. Firstly, the game is very demanding on the hardware of your PC. Secondly, at the initial stage, it was accompanied by many bugs that interfere with comfortable gameplay. Also, after the release, the players had numerous questions and complaints: how to launch Battlefield 3, where to download normal drivers for the game, Battlefield 3 does not start through Origin, how to run on XP and so on. Let's try to answer some of them.

Battlefield 3 not starting
1) So, how to run Battlefield 3? First of all, if you have a license, you will need to download and install the Origin client, where the game itself is activated. Then it will appear in the clientโ€™s menu in the "My Games" tab, where you will find Battlefield 3. Next, just click the "Run" button. After that, the Battlelog page will appear, where we choose what to launch: multiplayer, co-op or single.

2) The second case. The latest drivers can be downloaded from the official Nvidia and ATI sites.

3) The third situation. If the game does not start through Origin, then the following reasons are possible: the program itself crashed, which can be helped by reinstalling it, or there was some error during the installation that damaged the root files (in this case, the game itself must be reinstalled).

4) The fourth question is how to run Battlefield 3 on XP. Let's say right away - this is impossible. The fact is that the game only supports versions 10 and 11 of DirectX, and therefore it can only be launched on Windows 7 and Windows Vista.

I also want to add that often on the forums there were complaints about the premature crashes of the game in multiplayer mode. So, if you have the latest drivers, the last problem may arise for the following reasons: overloaded servers (which is very rare, but it happens), full RAM, poor performance of your PC.

Well, with how to run Battlefield 3, we figured out. There is also another problem. Some gamers complain that they cannot connect to the rating servers. And here only one right decision is to reinstall the Punkbuster program, which is on the game disc. However, it happens that even the owners of top-end cars and a licensed copy of the game also do not start Battlefield 3. In this case, contacting EA Games support team is the best advice, where they will help you to solve the problem within 1-2 days from the moment you send a message about inconvenience.
