Battlefield Hardline Won't Start/Launch

Every time I click *PLAY* on Battlefield Hardline, the Battlelog opens (on Firefox), and after trying to Join a server or even Campaign mode, nothing happens, it keeps saying *JOINING* but nothing happens, then after hours it gives you an error to reinstall the game and origin and something about anti virus and firewall... did all of that, still nothing...

P.S.: BF3 & BF4 works perfectly... only problem with BFH... and BFH was fine before...

What I Did so far:

Disabled Firewall

Disabled Anti-Virus (Windows Defender, not AVG)

I was using AVG Tune Up and i thought it had something to do with AVG Products, so i removed it and STILL NOTHING...

P.S.: Never had AVG Anti-Virus... just AVG Tune Up which is removed right now...

Re-Installed Origin

Re-Installed BFH

Cleaned up my PC & Registry via CCleaner...

All Drivers are Updated to the Last version...

Tried the Run as Admin thing as well

Deleted my BFH Folder from My Docs...

my Specs:

Windows 10 Pro x64

i5-4430

GTX 760

8gb Ram

So to Sum Up, I did everything and still Nothing... now FFS please someone Help Me?  Thanks...

  • Ok, I * finally Solved it...

    Here's what I Did:

    1. Uninstall BFH

    2. Uninstall Origin

    3. Shift+Delete (Every Folder Named Origin in "ProgramFiles,  ProgramData,  AppData,  My Documents" )

    4. Use CCleaner to Clean Apps and Registry by using this settings:  http://help.ea.com/en-us/help/pc/how-to-use-ccleaner-to-fix-pc-issues

    5. Restart your PC

    6. after that Disable your Anti-Virus and Firewall and start Installing Origin and BFH...

    7. then Run the game as Admin...

    8. Voila.

    Thanks @Arpadiusz for almost helping...

    Thanks @EA_Valgard for NOT HELPING AT ALL...

    and Thank You * EA.

    I shut down AVG before launching the game.
    This allowed Windows 10 to ask what kind of network (private and public) the game should be allowed.

    turned on AVG afterwards.

  • @Fixer221b  I have tried all the same things as well, to no avail!  If BFH worked before, and nothing on my PC has changed, i.e. no new programs, no new type of firewall etc., there should not be any issues!  BUT, of course there is.  Out of the blue, one day, it just stopped working and has gone into perpetual "loading."  

    As a consumer, I shouldn't have to jump through a day long process 3X to "fix" something that is not my fault.  Nice isn't it?

    to save all of you guy the hassle i have found the direct problem and this works for all my friends that had the same problem on windows 10.

    all you have to do is go to "My Documents" and DELETE you "BFH" save folder and thats it. start campaign or multiplayer and it will work even with antivirust on. 

    hope this helps just keep deleting that folder if it doesnt start again. i think its some setting in that folder that is crashing the game.

  • Go to windows firewall and change the inbound rules, allow BFH to connect 🙂)

  • Can I start up my Anti-Virus program while downloading Origin and BFH or will that mess everything up?

    This post is back from 2016 and I'm going to lock it down since there have been updates to the game and Origin since then. If you still need help with this please create a new post. If you're playing Multiplayer you will be brought to a browser to play.
