The simple solution for hang ups during launching a game is to "click" on the BF4 icon that's
in the taskbar, this will bring up full screen of BF4, when the server info says "joining server" then "logging in..." on the taskbar, wait
a few secs for BF4 icon to appear and click it, waiting for the program to go fullscreen seems to hang it up.

The problem is, from what I'm reading, no one is even getting that, I know I'm not seeing anything pop up on the task bar. I have tried starting it (both 32 and 64bit) with task manager open and keep watching in there and never see the exe flash up for even 1 second. It's like the game is installed but when you try to run it, it doesn't exist.
