Battlefield 4 performance and connectivity issues

Hi unseenenima I will try and help you ....Post back and let me know if this works please. If this fails to fix it or you already did all this  then I have some other steps you can try.

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

==================================================================

Others have said if they uninstall MSI Afterburner issues / crashing is stopped. So if you have this installed remove program and test BF4.

These changes have improved my frame rate, but i was not able to set oto run as admin. Otherwise they helped, but I am still getting this strange rubber banding lag, what could i do for that?

Ok good that is a start, so with not being able to set as Admin mmm just a guess on my part and it may be wrong but are you set as Admin on your PC? Worth looking at.

As for rubber banding you can try this it may help.....

Origin Cloud Storage turn it off
Origin, settings, General

I had nothing but issues  when I had it on.

Also we can look at your windows to make sure it is not the issue , when I had issues in BF4 some of it was from my windows 8.1 so this is also worth a shot. As it cant hurt and you find out if your windows is good to go if nothing else and if it is windows this will fix it for you... I just want to make sure its not a issue in windows making  BF4 act up and rule it out to fix this for you.

Test your windows for errors
This works in all windows O/S vista win 7,8 and 8.1 windows system file checker :] Copy and past this to note pad and put it on your desktop. As open programs can give you errors when you run this.

...... sfc /scannow ..... ever hear of it if not your going to love this .... it will inspect all the important windows files as well as the windows DLL files. If windows system file checker finds any issues with the windows files and windows DLL files it will replace them. This little tool as well as the event viewer saved me and fully helped me fix my BF4 issues as well as saved my .... many a format since I found it. This is the best toy they ever put in windows :]

For win7 go to start left click in search type cmd and right click cmd pick run as admin
For win 8.1 right click start bottom left of screen and pick command prompt admin

1 - Open administrator command prompt and close web pages and programs like origin.

2 - Type or copy and paste in sfc /scannow and hit enter, This takes 5 min to 15 min SSD vs HD

3 - This can go one of a few ways ..... no errors ... it fixed some errors ..... could not fix all errors...... does not finish checking and errors out ....... and the last one could not fix errors at all :/

4 -After its done reboot and do it again even if you had no errors the first time or had errors, could not fix ... run sfc /scannow again and when its done a second time reboot. You need to do this a and get no errors 2 x in a row ...

5- So if you ran it 2x and no errors your safe you can stop now for now lol, If you had errors first time but not the second then run sfc /scannow again and when its done reboot. You need to get could not find any errors 2 x to be safe. If it still finds errors try and run it a few more times until it finds no errors 2x AND ALWAYS REBOOT BETWEEN RUNNING sfc /scannow

6 - If you get a message indicating that it can not be repaired and you ran sfc /scannow more then 3x in a row on win vista or 7 mm you need a format or try repair win 7 :/ But after format or repair and all updates are done run sfc /scannow to make sure your windows is stable same deal 2x error free reboot between them.

If your O/S is Win8 or Win 8,1 then you can run this next command / line in administrator command prompt. Sadly this does not work for win vista or 7 :/ It will restore the health of your PC and you dont lose anything and it will also fix errors in the registry :]

dism.exe /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth ------- ONLY works for windows 8 and 8.1

7 - When its done reboot

I dont have windows 8.1 only windows 8, I had to remove windows 8.1 after it caused a ton of probles with BF4 and made my computer crash, I am an admin, but I cant find a "Admin Command Prompt" and normal Command prompt says I need to be a Administrator to use the sfc utility, even though I am a Administrator

This works for win 8 as well as far as I know from reading on it all.

When I installed win8.1 same thing crash city this step fixed it.
