BF4 Freezes the PC after last Origin Update

Hello @l-MrMayor-l.

try to update drivers on my way 🙂:

- install all Windows updates, restart PC

- download dxwebsetup and run/install it as Admin

- download Intel ME, unzip all and run/install it as Admin

- download chipset drivers and run/install as Admin, restart PC

- uninstall Realtek audio driver, restart PC, download for Win10x64 version from this site, unzip all and run/install it as Admin, restart PC

- uninstall Intel GPU driver, restart PC, download x64 version from this site, unzip all and run/install it as Admin, restart PC

- uninstall Nvidia GPU driver, restart pc, install this version as Admin with "clean install" option, restart PC

- check that game use the Nvidia GPU

- go to nvidia gpu driver and change in it "multiple display performance mode" to "single display performance mode"

- check and close\disable all programs like this

- delete folder C:\Users\[User_name]\Documents\Battlefield 4\ (and don't change ingame video options such as "API graphics" - use DX11, and "Display mode" - use Full screen)

- run Origin as Admin, try to play...

- if problem still there, test ur RAM

Weird.

Just to be sure, you have completely uninstalled and reinstalled Origin ?

@MADrag0n & @Carbonic did everything guys. No RAM errors, No OS errors, All drivers are up to date, everything else Works perfectly EXCEPT THE GAME. I'm still have a feeling its because of the Origin Updates. Is there a full list to see what exactly they've changed or add?

Thanks.

Origin > Help > About, there is a link to "Release Notes" ))

what u mean saying "big reset of OS"?

In command prompt (running as Admin) enter a commands (before enter next command wait to result of previous) then attach to a message list.txt file from root folder of С:\ drive
set > C:\list.txt
tasklist /v >> C:\list.txt
DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-Image /spsuperseded /hidesp
DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-Image /StartComponentCleanup /ResetBase
DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth

Restart PC

@MADrag0n Here it is mate.

EDIT: Oh and i mean I formatted the PC

Can you post a new dxdiag?

Sure @Carbonic

Here:

Your graphics drivers look better now 🙂

Try giving the newest Intel drivers a go:

Also, if you remove your BF4 settings by removing the settings folder ( C:\Users\YOURUSERNAME\Documents\Battlefield 4\settings ) and keep running it at default settings does it then work?

Check for any overclocking (cpu, gpu, ram) and discard/disable it.

Disable/Close all this software:

NVIDIA GeForce Experience Service

ASUS Manager

ASUS Ai Charger

Microsoft Windows Defender
Microsoft Security Essentials

and like this

try to play. If problem persist, try test ur gpu/system for overheating and stability by this bench (try it without and with running Origin process); run it for 30-60 minutes minimum and note max temp, artifacts, freezes and other.

@MADrag0n @Carbonic Hello guys.

Problem WAS still there: after doing your recent suggestions. Then I've changed something in NVIDIA Control Center.

Under Battlefield4 settings there was a setting named Power Management Mode: Optimum Power [By Default]

-So i thought this might prevent the game to use required power to work properly so I changed it into Under Control of NVIDIA Driver

And i think problem is gone now. I've played on couple maps and no freezing. Of course as I said before its non-periodically and I gotta play more to make sure but at least its not freezing after 5 minutes. That's something.

Does an Origin Update can change the default driver settings of a game? Because as I told you before this is happening for the first time. Well I dont know if it was like that before, -if you can check that for me whats the setting in your control center I'd be grateful- We'll see.

ALSO: @MADrag0n I did run the test and the results are:

Without Origin: Current Temp: 68C Min:50C Max:70C

With Origin       : Current Temp: 70C Min:50C Max:70C

In-game              : Current Temp: 64C-68C
