Battlefield 4 failed to start

When i try to launch the game it gives me a prompt that says "Battlefield 4 failed to start" and "Please repair your game installation and try again". I tried to repair it but it did nothing. I then looked at several threads about battlefield 4 cant launch but only found this one: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Battlefield-4/ERROR-Could-not-launch-game-Please-make-sure-it-s-installed/td-p/4346316. A supposed fix was given by user Solitary Eclectic at the #6 comment which said to do this;

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

Reboot PC then try again

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

Please update your Origin client to the latest Beta version (top left Origin menu, Application Settings - General) Then reboot PC and try again.

OR

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.

I tried doing all of this and it didnt work either. I am pretty sure i followed the instructions aswell so im honestly at loss of what to do. So now i hope someone might have another fix for this, Thanks in advance!
