BF3 wont launch from Origin

[Lukanize]

Hello,

Anyone else having problems launching the game?

I click bf3 and it says launching and bf3.exe appears in the process manager but nothing happens and after a few seconds it disappears from the process manager.

Happens to me a bit too mate, start up task manager, and you will see an instance still running in the background of the .exe. Either end it, or restart your pc. Hope that helps.

The bf3.exe just disappears after a few seconds

POSSIBLE FIX:

Note: You will lose any current settings

Navigate to C:\Users\USER\Documents\Battlefield 3 Open Beta\settings

and delete "PROF_SAVE_body"

if by reinstalling you mean redownloading then yes. It doesnt seem to save the install for bf3??
And yes rebooted.
