It is graded out. I was with EA support for over an hour yesterday and there was a lot of back and forth, but finally the tech said he would send me an email with steps to follow. Still waiting for it. Any suggestions as to how I can get the game back?? I unfortunately do not have the original disk. I would like to play the game again, specially now that we have a server for it. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

They shortly dropped support for the disc version for multiplayer shortly the launch of battlelog as far as I know. I could be wrong though :/ Edited November 4, 2015 by Barron3000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

The funny thing is that I can "uninstall" it, but cannot play it and cannot download it. Thanks for the responses. Will try again with origin.

I contacted EA support and the new fellow that tried to help me asked me to uninstall ORIGIN. I only uninstalled BF3 and I now am able to re install it with all the DLC's and expansion packs I had. I guess they really do not know what they are talking about!! What a shame. Sonovabich 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

From what I understand how it works... since there is no reinstall like Steam... is to start the download of the particular program after reinstalling Origin. Then after a short while to get it started stop the download. Quit Origin. Replace the game files from the backup and start Origin again. Restart the download and Origin should then re-verify all the files there and accept them. Never actually tried that myself but that seems to be a common solution I see around to back things up. Unless Origin fixed that so its like Steam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards
