Had in issue with DRM - an old pre-Origin DRM window popped up after the game was launched "We could not activate Battlefield 3 on this computer using the EA Account you provided ERROR". None of the options presented in the window are still working. Found a solution online (props to rostigernagel4266):
You need to set hidden files visible, then go to: C: > ProgramData > Electronic Arts > EA Services > License Move or delete the file 71067.dlf or 71069.dlf or both or all visible .dlf files. Start the EA app and then Battlefield 3. During the start, the EA app generate a new License file. Worked for me.
The browser doesn't show pings, but the same issue could be encountered in Windows as well.
The game was purchased through EA Storefront, so I had to install it through EA App. Encountered an issue during installation through it: i've got stuck at "wrapping up", i.e. after all the files were downloaded; at ~70% of the process - for infinity. The issue seemed to be caused by EasyAnticheat installer: it seemed like it got in an endless loop of launching new instances of itself, untill I've killed all of them through System Monitor. I suppose, EasyAntiheat wasn't installed on my prefix, but the singleplayer runs fine.
Easy Anticheat installer might cause the same issue during installation of other games, especially via EA App.
