    Did a quick search here and couldn't find anything on this, but apologies if it's already been covered.

    Anyone else having issues trying to start BF3? I've recently just updated it and it won't start for me now. Keep getting a 'Your game data is corrupt. Please repair your installation through Origin'.

    I've done the repair process, made sure I'm patched up, and have made sure my language patches are all up to date too. What am I missing here? :confused:

    Actually they're not, but that's cuz I'm using bootcamp and I heard updatin the drivers is bad! But maybe I'll give that a bash.

    Try this to see does it fix the problem . Sometimes it doesn't apply all the updates automatically .

    Fixed it! Finally... Whew.

    Basically the issue was with the cloud syncing. When I installed the most recent update I noticed it asked me that the cloud sync data found a mismatch. It asked me two choices; delete files and replace with cloud files, or copy cloud files. I chose the second, because I didn't really understand what it was asking.

    Eventually after a million repairs/reinstalls I noticed when I cancelled the cloud syncing it launched the game. So the next time I launched the game it asked me the same thing again, I said delete files and replace and boom, it launched. Yuss. :)

    Yeah that's been a known issue since the last patch. Had the same issue myself and resolved it a few days ago the same way you did
