Re: Battlefield 4 Installation Error

@Dethstroek   Very strange issue you have I would try this to start with : Also, go to my documents and remove the BF4 folder if it has made one so you have a clean start please. 

Re- install origin only NOT your game just origin.

1. Uninstall Origin completely from Windows Control Panel.
2. Reboot your PC. This is important to clear out any lingering registry files or directories.
3. Download the latest Origin here: http://origin.com/download
4. Install Origin and see if you can install your game.

    Thank you so much! It's been bugging me since last night and all day today - it finally installed!!

  • @Dethstroek Cool and happy to help you. To help you a bit more with BF4 / to have it stable also do all this once it is installed for settings and also make sure all this is up to date...

    Disable Origin in game:
    In Origin - Application settings - Origin in Game - disable Origin in game

    Origin Cloud Storage turn it off
    Origin, settings, General

    Make Sure BF4 is set to 64bit if your windows is 64bit
    1- open origin and go to My Games
    2-Right click BF4 and go to Game Properties
    3-Under when launching this game set it to x64 and check off disable origin in game.
    4- Hit apply REBOOT your PC and then test your BF4


    Make sure all this is up to date...

    Reinstall Microsoft C++ For my game PC's I install both x64 and x86 as it does not hurt the PC

    NOTE>>> you need to select the x64 or the x86 file depending on what architecture your computer has. To find this out, Click Start, right click on "Computer" and select "Properties". Under system type is should say "32-Bit Operating System" or "64-bit Operating System". If 32-bit operating system, download the x86 file, and if 64-bit download the x64 file.
