This morning I completed some Windows Updates. Then I used DDU to uninstall display drivers and reinstalled the latest Nvidia. I made sure that DirextX was up to date, it is version 11. Visual C++ is also up to date.
Logged in to Battlefield, set all of the display options to LOW and was greeted by this: http://i.imgur.com/85OUAW3.png
I have not ran a clean boot yet, but I do not see how it would change anything unless Punkbuster is 100% of my issue. Is that possible? It seems pretty extreme. Not sure what else to do at this point.
A clean boot also makes sure no other programs messes with the game. Programs with overlays, overclocking utilities, driver software like Razer Synapse, security software etc. have all been known to cause issues. And yes Punkbuster too.
And checking you have the latest DirectX and VC is not enough, you need to run the installers, preferably found in the _Installer folder in your game directory to make sure they are not broken in some way.
Ok, I have ran both of those installers and they completed without issue. Then I went through the clean boot, but for some reason, some things still turned on that had selected not to. I manually shut off Razer Synapse and Punkbuster but don't know how to find a server with that feature disabled, so I joined a regular one. http://i.imgur.com/iGDEjC8.jpg
Could Avast be causing the problem? It also came on with the clean boot.
Edit: Disabling Avast did not change anything.
