New Patch = black screen with sound

I can't even run the game. Everytime I try to run it it pops up an error on Origin. I've been playing it just fine a few weeks ago but after playing Skyrim for about 50 hours I wanted to play Battlefield 3 and it doesn't work. I'm rank 36 FYI.

Also, the bf3.exe doesn't close even if I try to end task it and I can't shut my computer down unless I hold down the power button. Pain in the ass.

if you are using RU with EN patch, you need new patch

I am, new patch? What, so I have to wait for them to patch it again?

yes i had the same problem then I went on the game site forums and there is a bug where if you downloaded a russian key for the game you have to get the updated language pack for that conversion.

BTW my copy works 100% (no black / no hangs) After patch , follow instructions to get your thesis game Properly working again. 1. BF3 repair 2. https://www.cdkeyhouse.com/support/ [cdkeyhouse.com] download update and replace language in BF3 dir 3. Join server and enjoy.

Nope, HAVE TRIED EVERYTHING!!! I can't seem to get it to work, I'm pissed of because I want to play it!! Im 2000 xp away from ranking up to >.<
