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.
Hope this helps!
I did everything you said and it still crashes.
Any other ideas?

Alright my Battlefielders! This is what I had to do to get BF4 (ONLINE) to work! After upgrading to windows 8.1 everytime I joined a server it basically would allow me to deploy and run for two seconds then drop to my desktop. The following has fixed my issues.
1. Computer>E: (or whatever drive BF4 is on)> Origin>Battlefield4>_Installer>DirectX>redist>DirectX.exe (update)
2. Second thing Punk buster needs an update. Orgin games, Battlefield 4, then update pbscv by running the program
3. Open up Orgin appliaction on your desktop right click BF4 and go to repair install!
I really hope this works guys!
Thanks goes out to @LonoB
Hope this Helped fellas!
Happy Gaming!

Thank you Taazzzy
My problem start on 2013-11-20 when a log to a server I was able to play for about 2 minutes and after It seems I lost connections and I'm back to battlelog without doing anything.
I spoke to a technician at EA for 50 minutes try lots a things but didn't solve the problem since she was unable to helped me she was suppose to transfer me to a specialist. Stay on phone for another 45 minutes waitng to talk to the specialist. After 45 minutes I hang up.
So I hope my experience will help others
