It Seems like everyone having problem moving game to other drive or having issue to run the game after Newly installed windows and they already have installed files of the Game
As I Recently found it Easiest method so thought to share a Simple and Proper Guide to you guys
what i did is Made a Backup of PREVIOUSLY INSTALLED BF3 so things dont screw up
i wanted to move the game to My SSD as i had installed the Windows

Here Is The Easiest Method


1 Uninstalled origin first if its Already installed
2 Created a Folder at C:\(ur desired drive) "origin games"
3 Put the previously Installed Game files i.e "Battlefield3" in the "origin games" folder
4 Now Install the Origin in "origin games" folder
5 Login Origin > Goto Setting>General and Choose "origin games" directory to Downloaded Games Dialog Box
6 Restart Origin
7 Now Click on "Ready to Install Button" it will show the progress bar and it will be 100% in small period of time and your Game will be ready to play


Note if You are Getting Russian Language after running game
download files english language files from here

And Update the Registry after pasting above files

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\EA Games\Battlefield 3]
"GDFBinary"="C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Battlefield 3\GDFBinary_en_US.dll"


[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\EA Games\Battlefield 3]
"Locale"="en_US"


[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Origin Games\DGR01609244]
"Locale"="en_US"

Note that the Path will be the one where your game is installed
Enjoy The Game And Like if it was Helpful :)

Your replies shows you did things in hurry and didnt follow it properly you should have backed up the installed bf3 somewhere and not to touch it in any way then tried doing it by pasting on SSD

you can google it how to transfer BF3 in SSD you will get same replies everywhere like install origin and give path of installed BF3 in downloaded directory and voila your done

Installed BF3 folder from someone
it should work make sure you get the same version EU LIMITED with all DLC
if you take someone from RU guy you might have to download some files

    I dont think games have looked any better since 2019 onwards and they are performing worse and worse. Game developers have really dropped the ball.

    did you know you can see @NaNoW credited in the game too ? :p

    What is peoples obsession with Battle Royale genre. 6 minutes to find a match, 3 minutes to setup a match, 2 minutes to land, 10 minutes for scavanging maybe 2 3 gunfigts and its over. Multiplayer landscape is looking absolute dogshit.
    I tried playing Apex Legends once. Couldn't find a gun for 5 minutes straight. If I found a gun, I couldn't find the right ammo for it. Got killed fighting with my fists. Uninstalled it the next day.

    I usually stay away from animes. Vinland saga changed the way i look at my life, and my experiences within. I recommend every breathing human being to watch this animated masterpiece at least once fromstart to finish.
    After I watched it, I never felt like i watched a show. It was a friggin journey. I got way too attached to Thorfinn and seeing him grow up and find himself and get rid of all the negativity inside of him was just pure bliss.

    With how great cod warzone has translated onto mobile. Mainstream Consoles have lost its value even further. Maybe console gaming was associated with TVs and how TV is not the primary source of media consumption anymore, consoles will lose its 200 million core audiences even further.
