Ahhh yep. Installed Windows 8.1 (mistakenly) and now I can't stay in a BF4 game either.

Okay. The same thing happened to me and this is what I did to fix it.
It has something to do with Punkbuster A and Windows 8.1 killing it.
First, uninstall Punkbuster using the uninstall a program in your control panel. Restart.
Next, go to http://www.punkbuster.com/index.php?page=pbsetup.php and download PBSetup. Once open, add Battlefield 4 as a game and it will update pb files.
Finally, you'll want to reinstall Punkbuster. To do so, locate the pbsvc.exe file in your battlefield directory. Mine was G: > Program Files (x86) > Origin Games > Battlefield 4 > _Installer > punkbuster > redist
After reinstalling punkbuster you should be good to go.
