Repair your game. It detected a mismatch with your game files.

Couple of items I found on the interwebz that might help

phpBB [video]


The longer way:

1. Close Origin
2. Uninstall PB Services via pbsvc (http://www.evenbalance.com/downloads/pbsvc/pbsvc.exe)
3. Move content of this folder: ..\..\Origin\Origin Games\Battlefield 3\pb\ to a backup folder (leave the pb folder there - just empty it)
4. Use the Updater: http://evenbalance.com/index.php?page=pbsetup.php
5. Install the service: http://www.evenbalance.com/downloads/pbsvc/pbsvc.exe

No guarantees :)

I dont think it is the antivirus. Of everything i have read on the internet the antivirus was never involved. Also i get the error at random point sometimes after 1 or 2 rounds/mapchanges so not when i join the game.

Well... when researching the issue, 90% of the hits pointed to "cheat-hack" pages :lol:
But... I found a thread with similar issue as you seem to have, and of course I don't have the link at the moment, however... Same error as you get and it was random and turned out to be the antivirus causing it... Have you tried turning AV off yet?

Well, if repairing the origin files does not work, have you tried to reinstall your game completely?

I was planing on doing it last night... but i played for about 2 hours without getting it so it might have resolved itself somehow or it is just playing a mindgame with me.
