What exactly is the error you are getting?
Does the game crash when loading? Can you play the single player campaign at all?
Please provide more details of your graphics card, Ram, etc and you'll get better advice.
Here's a few common problem fixes:
If you cannot start the game at all and never have then check the following:
-make sure that you've updated your drivers to latest version (go to Nvidia website)
-Do a repair install of the game in Origin. In origin right click your game and from drop down choose repair install.
-That you've installed latest version of punkbuster (punkbuster.com).
- make sure that your firewall isn't preventing game from launching.
-Reinstall DirectX.
1:go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Battlefield 4\__Installer\directx\redist
2:Find file named DXSETUP.exe and double click it (while connected to the internet). Install it. It should update your DirectX install.
3: You might need to reboot computer first.
4: try to launch game.
EDIT: Fixed install path.
-If you are using a 64bit operating system make sure you're running the X64 version of the game.
Start Origin, Right Click on BF4 game to select 'game properties', and choose X64 in the 'when launching this game' drop down menu.
-Your Microsoft C++ redistributables (or lack of certain ones) might be causing the problem.
1. Download this file - download link http://www.softpedia.com/progDownload/VC-Redist-Installer-Download-216678.html [softpedia.com]
2. Run the file.
3. In Origin - Application settings - Origin in Game - disable Origin in game.
4. Restart PC
5. Try to play the game now.
The above file installs all the C++ redistributables in one package. Windows update can sometimes miss some of them which prevents the game from starting and causes it to crash while loading (the whitescreen and error message your getting).
If any of this helps add a reply so others can also be helped.
Hello all. My computer keeps hanging up at the loading screen just before entering the game. It does this in sp/mp. I'm able to see the three flashing lights at the top right (loading lights?) and they just keep flashing. Eventually the music stops playing and I'm left with just the photo art and the flashing lights. Anyone ever encounter this?

Tried all the solutions listed but still cant launch the game.
Error message pops up and closes itself.
There is no other solution listed anywhere.
Now i'll try to get my money back and stop playing this game after all these years, too much stress for problem solving.
Never had a problem even close to this before with any other game.
