first step evaluate your systeme  http://systemrequirementslab.com/cyri

My second step not the most happy one but the most effective to obtain the best result for the machine i have.

My BF4 wont start when im online on origin. I get a message that i need to patch the game or install it. But I'm able to play when Origin is offline... I've pressed the download patch button and the little downarrow  tells me that the patch is up to date but that i need to update the game... :S

Jaernkamin: Try right clicking on the Battlefield 4 icon in Origin and selecting "Repair Install".  If it works, it should update the game to its latest version.

Thanks for the update, bcom33.

It's interesting that it's rejecting that installation, do you get any errors? Did you try running the setup in a Clean Boot or even Safe Mode with Networking?

abeautifulmine12,

There's a few different issues in this thread, so you'd need to be more specific on what your issue is. What happens when you try to open the game? Do you get an error message?

jaernkamin,

I'd recommend the step bcom33 suggested. 

Do you get this error from Origin itself or Battlelog? 

Thanks 

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:
