Win7 x64 BF3.exe crash fix

Win7 x64 BF3.exe crash fix

My problem :

When clicking on Join Server from the browse server window i only get "Joining Server" after that nothing happens at all.

What helped for me on my x64 PC is the following :

Due to the è in the folder name the game won't start and generates an Application Error in the event viewer.

To change this on x64 systems :

1: Shut down Origin. Check task manager to make sure

2: Goto the folder where Origin installed BF3 Beta (C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Bèta Battlefield 3)

3: Rename the Bèta Battlefield 3 folder to Beta Battlefield 3

4: Start regedit , browse to the following key :

HKEY LOCAL MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WoW6432Node\EA Games
Change the GDFBinary & InstallDir paths to C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Beta Battlefield 3

5: Start Origin as Administrator. Your webbrowser will also start and will go to battlelog

6: Go to the serverbrowser, pick a server, and play!

This is a fix for x64 systems!
