Battlefield 3 Origin activation problem

Hi,

I am trying to install Battlefield 3, but when the windows "Origin - Battlefield 3 aktivieren" pops up, it just stays white and does nothing. Is that normal? Do I have to wait for hours? Is Origin broken?
Thanks for your help in advance.


Greetings,

violy

origin is the problem
had the same problem when I tried to run it on the first day but cant imagine they still have the problems with over-trafficed servers...

Maybe your firewall blocks your Origin, try turning it off
No firewwall installed. I just called the german hotline and now they redirected me to an english hotline and they fixed the problem for me :D

I had to change some settings in my router to get it working correctly
Parent
Do you remember what you changed? Maybe some ports? God damn it. I did not think of the ports. Thanks a lot mate :D

I think I disabled uPnP
Parent
That's the first thing i thought of too.
MW2 needs it to be enabled but that's the only game i know of.
Parent
you know u can play it without origin right?
Oh really? You only really need Origin to install it, there's a certain work-around for it.

my screen stays black after joining a server nowadays :(
Use some VPN to activate it
Why a VPN?
Parent
h8m3 implies that you may have bought your game in russia or poland / ebay.
Those keys give errors like this one.
Parent
Ah, I bought it via amazon. :)

origin activation doesnt work for every provider somewhy, dunZ couldn't activate(white screen staying there forever) until he used a VPN proxy service.
