BF4 random lag spikes

So I bought the battlefield 4 premium dlc yesterday and I have been getting random lag spikes ever since.
Before I bought premium I had played bf4 for about 5-6 hours straight without any problems.
Earlier this month I had returned my graphics card due to it being defect and had just
gotten a new one that isn't. The new GPU isn't defect and I knwow that due to that I have for the first
time been able to play for 2 days without any crashes. I would really like to get some advice on how
to fix this.

And no I did not return the card just because bf4 crashed all the time but because
it disconnected itself from my pc all the time and that resulted in every game I played crashing in about
20sec to 5min.My average fps is 75-120 on all ultra.

And I'm not Deuthsch The select location tab only let's me use spanish, french, deuthsch ad

Please excuse my bad grammar.

My specs

Mobo: Msi gd65 z87 gaming
CPU: i7 4770k, cores are unparked
Colant: Corsair H100i
GPU: GTX 780 ti windforce oc edition
RAM: 16gb Kingston hyperx beast 2133mhz
HDD 1TB

Best regards Lucas

    Decided to reinstall it after a while and it now works again without any problems at all, I can play the dlc now as well without lag spikes. But thanks for the reply, I'll save this solution just in case if it happens again.

  • You can try all this to see if it helps..

    Run the game as Administrator:
    Go to the Origin games folder (C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Battlefield 4) and find Bf4.exe. Right click it and go to PROPERTIES, then COMPATIBILITY and check the box next to RUN THIS PROGRAM AS ADMINISTRATOR.
    Do the same with BF4_x86.exe as well.

    Run Origin as Administrator:
    Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin and right click on Origin.exe and go to properties. Then go to compatibility tab and check the box next to RUN AS ADMIN.

    Disable Origin in game:
    In Origin - Application settings - Origin in Game - disable Origin in game

    Origin Cloud Storage turn it off
    Origin, settings, General

    Make Sure BF4 is set to 64bit if your windows is 64bit
    1- open origin and go to My Games
    2-Right click BF4 and go to Game Properties
    3-Under when launching this game set it to x64 and check off disable origin in game.
    4- Hit apply and test you BF4


    Another thing that may be worth trying: run a Clean Boot: http://help.ea.com/en/article/how-to-clean-boot-your-pc/
    This should ensure that no programs are interfering in the background.

    Disable Mantle if you have it and try Direct X

    Others have said if they uninstall MSI Afterburner issues / crashing is stopped. So if you have this installed remove program and test BF4. Also look at other programs as Fraps, Geforce experience, be sure to turn off the streaming function that is enabled by default ,Raptr, RivaTuner , ASRock eXtreme Tuner, Steam, Skype, aero ,Overwolf extra program in teamspeak and xfire are known to make issues as well. And I am sure more programs not in my list yet turn one off at a time and test BF4. Since last patch more programs now give issues :/

    Uninstall the HD Audio Driver from the video card driver install add/remove programs. This silly thing makes issues in BF4 for some. Reboot then repair BF4 to be safe.


    Another thing to try is re- install origin only.

    If all this fails to fix it then try this...

    BF4 folder in my documents holds game configs and screen shots even if BF4 is installed on different drive. When you uninstall BF4 it does NOT remove this folder. So when you install the game again you can still have the same issues. Even if its not a new install it is still worth trying as the game cfg could be mucked up.

    1- Go to my Documents and remove BF4 folder place it on your Desktop or trash.
    2- Be warned you do have to set up your in game settings again.
    3-Repair BF4
    4- When done go test your game. If it fails reboot your PC and run repair game again and test BF4.
