Battlefield 4 won't launch
I play on PC, first of all. I can log into Origin and Battlelog fine, but I cannot get the game to launch. Neither Single Player or Multiplayer will work. I click to play, and all it does is the li...

I've put numerous hours into trying to play Battlefield 4 on PC.
I'm running Windows 7 64-bit, Home Premium.
Intel i7 950
8 GB Corsair ram
Gigabyte GA-X58a-ud5 motherboard
AMD HD 7970 gpu
Corsair 128GB SSD boot drive
WD 2 TB data drive (where Origin and Battlefield 4 game files are installed)
My audio is running through a Cambridge DacMagic Plus DAC out of the optical out on my motherboard. The DAC is also connected by USB.
I also have a Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 connected via USB.
The Cambridge Audio driver software is running, as is driver software for my Razer Mamba while I'm trying to launch Battlefield.
I purchased the Battlefield 4 standard edition and the premium service through Origin.
The issue:
When I launch Battlefield 4, I get to the Battlelog in my browser. If I try to join a server, campaign, or test range, the blue loading bar pops up at the bottom of the screen and says initalizing/connecting/in queue/joining server. etc.
Sometimes a window will flash on my screen at this point, for only a millisecond, and then immediately close again. It doesn't stay up long enough for me to see what it is. The blue bar will then, after 10 seconds or so, drop off the bottom of the screen. BF4.exe also disappears from Task Manager at this point. The game never loads.
Things I have tried:
- I tried updating to the latest AMD stable graphics drivers, and then the AMD Beta graphics drivers.
- I have reinstalled and updated Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 and 2012. I also tried deleting the 2005 versions which were still on my computer
- I have tried turning off Origin in game, and turning on and off cloud sync
- I have tried disabling my antivirus, Webroot SecureAnywhere
- I have port forwarded my router, at least according to the BF3 settings
- I have tried updating all of my drivers, Realtek audio, ICH10R chipset, SATA AHCI, etc.
- I have done a repair install, and a full uninstall and reinstall of Battlefield 3
- I have tried both Firefox and Google Chrome
- I have installed, uninstalled, and re-installed the web plugins
I've done a number of other tweaks/fixes that I've seen posted and nothing has worked. The game has never loaded.
Any advice for getting it to work?
Tried launching all this from a clean boot last night as well. No go.
