The Origin application/service continues to "crash" or the process ends. There is no error message. There is no Event log entry.

WTH

While doing what? Installing, trying to launch, mid game?

**Alundil** · 11-05-11, 07:00 PM

While the friends list is trying to load

Really EA?

Have you tried logging into origin first before you launch the game? I have had some problems if I try to launch BF3 without origin already launched and logged in.

Has it done it every time? So you haven't actually installed BF3?

**Alundil** · 11-05-11, 07:13 PM

yes - it did it every time - never actually got BF3 installed

I've rebooted again with all "everything" disabled and it is running currently (downloading the patch I guess). But it remains to be seen whether that will last once I boot normally again......

Could there be some "overlay" issue with something that might be killing it?

**Alundil** · 11-05-11, 10:57 PM

So - running things with nothing that might have an overlay or shell extension. Got the game installed. Played through the first mission of the campaign. Cut Scene for the second mission ends and I get dropped to desktop - but BF3 is still running. It's not Not Responding. Just can't get back to the game from desktop.

End Task - try it again. Same issue.

Video driver updated to the BF3 suggested?

**Alundil** · 11-05-11, 11:04 PM

Yup Video driver is up to date.

It is basically getting minimized between the movie ending and the "game" starting the next portion of the mission Uprising.
