Battlefield 3 crashing?

[Classics]

I've recently been getting this issue where if a server has Noshahr Canals as the map, I can play with no issues. But if I try to play any other map, after the loading screen, Windows will give me a "Battlefield 3 is not working" message then white screen and close itself. 

 

Does anyone know a fix for this?

 

Thanks for reading.

Incomplete files, maybe? Right-click BF3 in Origin and try "Repair Install".

I've had this problem quite a bit. Usually if I reload the same game right after it crashes it works and will run fine. I wish there was a better answer but this usually does it for me.   Also, blaming EA every chance you get doesn't solve these problems for anyone.

of course it doesn't but it feels good

on a serious note, a game that is almost 2 years old and still people are having insane amount of issues with mp is just prepostorous,

 

ever tried co op? i didn't because i can't freaking start it -.-

Punkbuster? That's supposed to detect hacks or something like that. Not running anything SILLY are you? Haha nah, it randomly happens. Have you tried playing again? I get kicked from Punkbuster here and so as well.

Have you used bf3 tweaker to remove the blue tint? because that will give you that message. (source http://www.pbbans.com/forums/battlefield-3-file-tweaker-and-md5tool-kicks-t164651.html )

And yer of course update punkbuster also.

After the first attempt failed, I removed it. This is unrelated.

Are you running any other programs at the same time. I had problems with punkbuster and I finally figured out it was because I was running Process Explorer at the same time. I was just trying to see how much video card memory I was using.

Did you just remove bf3 tweaker or did you remove bf3 tweaker AND the cas_50.cas file? (you need to do both and then repair the install)

"If you are being kicked for MD5Tool Mismatch and it lists a file named cas_50.cas or higher then you have to remove the file and should perform a repair install using Origin to repair any game files that may have been modified by the tweaker." , it says so right in the link i linked before (http://www.pbbans.com/forums/battlefield-3-file-tweaker-and-md5tool-kicks-t164651.html)

Yes, I removed the cas_50 file too.

Yes, I removed the cas_50 file too.

if you haven't yet ,force update punkbuster, if you have, try a different server(pref a non GGC-Stream protected server)

Hold on. I know the fix.

 

Exit Origin.

 

Go here: http://www.punkbuster.com/index.php?page=dl-bf3.php

 

Download these:

• PB Client v2.331 for Win32 Filename: wc002331.htm
• PB ClientA v1386 for Win32 Filename: wa001386.htm

Save them as a .htm file.

 

Paste them here: D:\Origin Games\Battlefield 3\pb\htm

 

Then go here: D:\Origin Games\Battlefield 3\__Installer\punkbuster\redist

 

And run pbsvc.exe as an admin.

 

Once done it should work.
