BF4 Premium not launching [PC - Steam Purchase]

I purchased battlefield 4 premium on steam and the game refuses to launch correctly. I have tried every available fix i can find on these forums (clean boot, repair game on origin, repair game on steam, launch battelog on a fresh browser, update drivers, disable firewall/antivirus/vpn, reinstall the game) and nothing seems to be working. If i run the x64 version, origin minimizes, steam updates saying that i am playing battlefield 4, and then the process just quits. If i run the x86 version, battelog opens, and when i try to join a server. start the campaign or join the test range, all i can see is the blue bar at the bottom of the screen saying "initiliazing" or "joining server". I am able to see the exe running in task manager (Battlefield 4 32 bit), but no window for the game appears and after some time, battlelog informs me that the game failed to launch.

DxDiag: https://hastebin.com/rugonesufa.yaml

**EDIT**: Having reinstalled windows twice(!!), the issue is resolved and battlefield now runs without issue.

    Hey, @m_deffect  can you try to do a clean boot to see if any programs are messing with Battlefield 4 and turn off any overlay programs, such as Discord or Nvidia experience.

     

    Can you add a Dxdiag so we can see what hardware and drivers you have? 

     

    Let me know if this works or not for you. 🙂

    Have tried this resolution already, sadly it doesn't work for me. Origin minimises as if it's about to start the game and steam says i'm playing battlefield. Origin window then pops back up and the game process clsoes.

    EDIT:

    Find the solution for me:

    I had the game installed on a secondary hard drive. Simply move the game from that drive to C and it works at first try.

    Also, the game was giving me error code 1 when trying to connect to any server, solve this opening UPnP on my router and trying the NAT on Windows10: Settings/Games/Xbox Network

    Hope anyone find this helpful.

    This is on the older side of time, I'm closing this thread to stop it from being necroed.

    If you have any issues with Battlefield 4, please make a new topic about your problems and what kind of steps you have tried to solve them.
