Battlefield 4 crashes on PC for unknown reason

Hi, Battlefield 4 on my computer keeps crashing for no reason.

After the first spawn, it takes something about 5 minutes for game to crash. its not a problem with my internet connection, because Battlelog would inform me of that :/. I repaired the game 2 times but its still crashing. My computer is new so i dont think its a hardware problem either. Anyone please help me its very irritating 😉

    Also, here is my computer:

    Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-3770 CPU 3.40 GHz   

    8 GB RAM

    NVIDIA GeForce GTX 650

    1 TB memory card

    Windows 8.1 64-bit

  • Try this / and update all this to be safe then reboot PC and test BF4....

    Latest version of DirectX see this page
    http://www.microsoft.com/en-ca/download/confirmation.aspx?id=35

    Reinstall Microsoft C++

    Update your Microsoft .NET framework.

    Adobe Flash Player update

    Go to Punk Buster site
    Download PB then extract files to your desktop then open Punk Buster folder. Click on the PB setup and it will open.
    Add your BF4 game to punk buster its at the top of Punk Buster.
    Then update punk buster again at the top of Punk Buster.

    http://www.punkbuster.com/index.php?page=pbsetup.php

    Control panel -> Time, Language and Region -> Region -> Administrative tab
    Change Language for non-Unicode programs To English(US)

    Run the game as Administrator:
    Go to the Origin games folder (C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Battlefield 4) and find Bf4.exe. Right click it and go to PROPERTIES, then COMPATIBILITY and check the box next to RUN THIS PROGRAM AS ADMINISTRATOR.
    Do the same with BF4_x86.exe as well.

    Run Origin as Administrator:
    Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin and right click on Origin.exe and go to properties. Then go to compatibility tab and check the box next to RUN AS ADMIN.

    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

    Reboot PC test BF4

    Another thing that may be worth trying: run a Clean Boot: http://help.ea.com/en/article/how-to-clean-boot-your-pc/
    This should ensure that no programs are interfering in the background.

    Disable Mantle if you have it and try Direct X, Turn OFF Anti-Aliasing Deferred in video card settings in game. If you have page file turned off then turn it back on as this can make errors even with 32gigs ram.

    Others have said if they uninstall MSI Afterburner issues / crashing is stopped. So if you have this installed remove program and test BF4. Also look at other programs as Razer synapse,Fraps,EVGA Precision, Geforce experience, be sure to turn off the streaming function that is enabled by default ,Raptr, RivaTuner , ASRock eXtreme Tuner, Steam, Skype, aero ,Overwolf extra program in teamspeak and xfire are known to make issues as well. And I am sure more programs not in my list yet turn one off at a time and test BF4. Since last patch more programs now give issues :/

    Uninstall the HD Audio Driver from the video card driver install add/remove programs. This silly thing makes issues in BF4 for some. Reboot then repair BF4 to be safe.


    If all this fails to fix it then try this...

    BF4 folder in my documents holds game configs and screen shots even if BF4 is installed on different drive. When you uninstall BF4 it does NOT remove this folder. So when you install the game again you can still have the same issues. Even if its not a new install it is still worth trying as the game cfg could be mucked up.

    1- Go to my Documents and remove BF4 folder place it on your Desktop or trash.
    2- Be warned you do have to set up your in game settings again.
    3-Repair BF4
    4- When done go test your game. If it fails reboot your PC and run repair game again and test BF4.

    Hey Dude, tx for the list but do you realize I was planning on playing games not fixing them? ;-)

    Will try all that when EA pays me to do it.

    Just imagine, you car breaks down, you call the service and they tell you:

    - check oil

    - check water

    - check break fluid

    - check sparks

    - check battery

    - check engine

    - pull the engine out then put it back in

    - disassemble the whole car and than put it back

    what do I pay the service for then? 🙂
