Hello, I found the solution, thought you might want to know .

1) Go to the location where Origin installed battlefield. This folder is called: "Beta Battlefield 3" (grave accent on first e). Now this is the problem; the Windows registry system can't cope with the 'e' with the grave accent, so change it to a normal 'e': "Beta Battlefield 3".

2) Next press the Windows key + r on your keyboard and enter "regedit" (without the "), press enter. Now navigate to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE -> SOFTWARE -> Wow6432Node -> EA GAMES. Click on 'Bf3 Beta'. On your right you see a row of information where the 3rd and 4th row are filepaths, and there the annoying 'e' is back! Change the e's with the grave accent to normal 'e' in both filepaths and close the registry editor.

You should be good to go! No restart needed, battlefield will work also with quickstart . Have fun!!

Greetings,
Joep

In the taskmgr I see bf3.exe starting up but then it closes after half a minute again without showing anything to me.
Will try this anyways.

Yes worked.

No, does not work.
The game started for 5 seconds and then closed itself and I'm back to the usual error.

Ah, now randomly the map is loading.

Nah this map is bad.
Got spawnkilled 10 times in a row.
Removed it again.

It's /Battlefield 3 Beta/ and i don't understand what the difference from "Beta Battlefield 3" and "Beta Battlefield 3" is.

I don't have that problem anyways. My problem is that the program opens, but in Battlelog it gets stuck on 'Connecting..' and game doesn't respond, with a black screen.

Uninstall the game. Metro map fails. Spawnpoints for Russians are fubar.
