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?

Dont know if this was postet earlier :

This one is the only fix for me.

Create a user.cfg in the battlefield 4 folder.

In the cfg paste gametime.maxvariablefps 121

The 121 is the max FPS.So you can choose 60,80 or 120 fps or anything you want .Works for me perfect at 80.Give it a try.

Working with Nvidia GTX 660 from Asus and Driver 332.21.Should also be ok for AMD cards.

The RenderDevice.RenderAheadLimit 3 worked only with the previous updates and then only with1 instead of 3.
But you can try it ^^

Withour the user.cfg Metro and Locker crashes after 10 seconds or after a few minutes of gameplay.
