Dear all, After the 13 feb game update I'm no more able to play. --> 18 Feb. update do not helped in any way to solve the issue!Every time that I join a server , after the map loading, the game start but it crash after like 2 seconds. I tried multiple times changing server/maps/class always obtaining the same result: --> Istant game crash! Moreover every time I need to close game from task manager. Please find below my configuration: OS: Win 8.1 pro CPU: 3570k MOBO: Maximus V Gene GPU: ASUS GTX780 CUII Driver version: 332.21 Everyone else have same issue? Waiting for admin feedback. Thanks in advance for you support, Paolo

There is already many topics about that, such as http://answers.ea.com/t5/Battlefield-4/Crashing-after-patch-02-13-2014/td-p/2332977/highlight/false/page/7 However I copy something about my investigation I have made today from Battlelog forums: I have made a little investigation wheter it is hardware problem or software problem or just devs did not test and this is result. So, I have installed vanilla Windows 7 x64, did some basic updating, installed latest motherboard drivers, graphic card drivers, audio drivers... Downloaded Origin, downloaded BF4 - downloaded patch (1,4 gb), downloaded China Rising (4,4 gb) and it was all. I was little scared to run the game as I though it will run. But - it has not. Still same "sound loop crash" - ten server, ten crashes within 1 minut after game started. It is definitely some bug in the gamecode and I am so sorry to say that, but it looks like it must be fixed by another patch... Anyway there is no evidence of any possible patch before 18. feb as they will release another DLC - so I have spent nearly 120 € and after nearly half of year after release I am not able to play the game because of faulty update. So guys, further information... Its gamecode bug, I am nearly 100 % sure because even if I have turned off integrated sound card - it crashed within 5 second - Op. Locker, Gullian Peaks, even traning... Further investigation showed that using external sound card (SoundBlaster X-Fi) doesnt improve anything and still crashes in sound loop. So I havent shown my specs: Phenom II x3 720 Gigabyte GA-MA790XT-UD4P 8 GB RAM DDR3 1600 (Kingston, CL9) Gigabyte GeForce GTX560 SOC (clock is little below Titanium) I know it is not high-end, but it has been runing at least. Not now.

Same, I can get like a 15 seconds into the game, then hang with repeating sound: GIGABYTE GA-MA770T-UD3P AM3 AMD 770 tri core using onboard sound, Raedon 6750 with latest (14.1) drivers 8 gig ram Win 7 64bit up to date. Still using original BF4 install, have had occasional PB kicks becaose of driver issues (might have been an old vid driver) EDIT: Also, i can stay slightly longer on dragon pass. Other's seems to not even load hte level or let me spawn.

Hi all, I'm having the same problems as all of you, making the game unplayable at the moment, every couple of games it seems to be crashing (If it lasts that long). I've just been chatting to an EA support guy via the live chat thing on this site. He said that they are aware of the problem (I should hope so!), and that they are looking into it, and that I should be patient and wait for a few days. I feel like I've been palmed off with a weak floppy answer. There seems to be zero interaction between the developers and the community when it comes to problems. Why did I have to ask someone in Livechat? Where is the sticky at the top of the page saying something is wrong but we are looking into it? There are countless pages on this latest problem and I'm yet to see a response from anyone official. Where are you? What are you doing about it?

No, it is not because it crashing to people with nvidia or amd/ati graphic card... Anyway when I did that test there were no amd/ati drivers, just latest nvidia.

after patch sound loop crashes almost instantly upon entering server...half the time i can;t even spawn before it crashes. tried many serves/maps, tried re-installing graphics driver...basically nothing I should have todo cause its a broken script DICE decided to give us as a 'patch'. I think BF4 has just taken the record as world's worst programmed game of all time.
