BattleField 4 Not wanting to launch after purchasing it long ago

black screen for me too. they dont want us to play old game

PC specs .............. what error message do you get. Stuff like that would help.

From what I can read of the message box, it is telling you that someone else, other than you, is playing the game also.

I got RTX 2050 INTEL I5 also i kinda deleted the game since it didnt work i wasted my money tbh

In my case it was MSI Afterburner 

Hello Deliaghm​,

Try launching the game directly from inside of the EA app, don't use Steam.

Don't be too hard on yourself. Many people wasted there money buying this game as it turns out.
