    I've seen this issue on other forums with no avail was wondering if anyone else has had this problem. I installed bf3 3 different times each time when I launch it, battlelog just comes up? The game doesn't launch at all? There are no options to join any servers. I just recently did a clean install of windows on my SSD and all my drivers are up to date. Not sure at all what the issue is I have no other issues with any other game I installed. Any suggestions on how to fix this?

    Dont know if you installed the Battlelog plugin yet but without it BF3 wont connect to servers.
    And Battlelog starts BF3, not the shortcut.

    Yeah the battlelog plugin is installed. Once on battlelog it gives no options to start the game . Just shows information about my xbox 360 account. Where do you launch the game from off battlelog?

    You launch the game via the web browser.

    There should be icons in the battlelog that says, Co-op, Campaign, Multiplayer.

    Just pretend that the main menu is the web browser.

    And the game menu look like games from the 97'-99' with tons of drop down menu.
