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 do get an error, I believe it's Windows Update error 9C59. I went through some steps to try to fix this back when I did a repair install of Windows a week or so ago, but still couldn't get it installed. Tried Clean Boot and Safe Mode back then, etc. Definitely going to try both of those again tonight, as I think this really could be the issue and even if it's not I want to nail it down.
Hey EAGuy. So after researching my issue with not being able to install those Internet Explorer Windows Updates, I came to the conclusion that I just had to bite the bullet and do a completely new windows install.
So I've done that, those updates were able to install, and Battlefield 4 works as it should.
I think the issue was likely caused by a registry "optimization" program I used called ARO 2011. I'm guessing it messed up my registry, and DX11 and caused a bunch of issues.
Thanks for all your help. Excited to finally play the game!
Well I'm certainly glad that you were able to finally get the issue resolved and play the game.
It's unfortunate that you needed to do a fresh install of Windows, but it sounds like it needed doing.
Thanks for the update.
Thanks for your help and patience in figuring it out.
I have come to the same unfortunate conclusion...I have to start over. Last night I discovered a strange problem on my computer. I tried installing iTunes and am having write issues into the ProgramData folder. For some reason, I also cannot install any Adobe reader updates, getting a strange error with very little info online about it. I tried removing the read only flag from ProgramData and taking ownership of it but it didn't help with iTunes or Adobe. I'm thinking something in my install must be borked, although I still find it strange that everything else works (including some games and programs I bought, installed and played/used fine last week) other than BF4 and Adobe Reader and iTunes. I was able to recently update Adobe Lightroom without issues so whatever is going on is strange.
Anyway, I will begin the painful process of starting over and hope this doesn't happen again. Perhaps a good excuse to upgrade my SSD 😕mileywink:
