Default BF3 failing to initialize after 55 hours of playing

Played 55 hours then it fails to load

Game manager connects to sever, then initilizes bf3 and then bf3.exe crashes with appcrash error.

I have done a clean install of my video card drivers
un-installed both origin and bf3 and re-installed both, TWICE
Done a clean boot
reg entries all point to the correct install path etc

It worked fine on friday then come saturday this.

The talk to help thing was no use whatsoever, and the forums are just full of people ranting and wanting their money back!

The game updated today with the 3gig patch and still its the same

Final solution will be to format my hdd and start over, but before it comes to that, does anybody here have any ideas?

Thanks

Default

The game needed a major install via the new maps and patches

Mine took 25 mins on 20meg download to install

Working fine now

FUCKING AWESOME

Go to the origin site on your taskbar you have to install it again for it to play

Even if you bought the limited edition

Also check if your using zone alarm or avast there in game MODE for the PC
