BF4 will not launch plugin-free & crashes after attempting to join server

When I attempt to launch battlefield 4 using plugin-free battlelog, it says that an update is required. If I then go to origin and repair the game or check for updates it say's that the game is up to date, if I put origin into offline mode or open campaign through battlelog it launches without crashing and I am able to play campaign mode. if I use the battlelog web plugins in firefox or IE my game crashes right after displaying "Error: Could not join this server: it's not there anymore." and until I force close the program battlelog displays "claiming reservation". I have taken this issue to technical support and it has been escalated to specialists. I have tried reinstalling visual c redist, directx, punkbuster and clearing the origin cache as well as reinstalling origin, rebooting my machine, uninstalling and reinstalling the web plugins and repairing my game. So far nothing has worked, does anyone else experience these issues or know of a working solution to these problems? This issue only applies to Battlefield 4, I can successfuly launch BF3 with the web plugins.

    Ok, I got some good news: I fixed it somehow.

    Here's what I did:

    • uninstalled firefox and reinstalled firefox
    • uninstalled all visual C++ redistributables I had installed
    • reinstalled all visual C++ redists for 64 bit
    • installed .NET framework 4.6 upgrade
    • uninstalled and reinstalled origin
    • removed battlelog web plugins again and turned on plugin-free launching
    • reboot machine

    Launched BF4 and it's working all of a sudden. I don't know what out of all of that fixed it, but I have the feeling it was the .NET framework 4.6 update. Hope this information helps and thanks alot for your help!

    @Simcra01 Fair deal I fully understand :] Was thinking on this more and came up with a few ideas to do off chance but it is worth a try....

    First make sure you have plug in free turned on... in battlelog click on your profile then on next page click on Edit profile. Then under General tab make sure Game launch is turned on ... Green showing hit apply test game.

    If this fails you could remove / uninstall  Chrome and fire fox and down load new versions , after  you uninstall both browsers reboot PC then install new browser you want as default and again make sure plug in free is turned on in steps above.

    I will try this, but I don't see how this will fix it. BF3 still works with battlelog web plugins and BF4 does launch with them, it just crashes after saying that the server has disappeared. After turning on plugin-free game launching BF3 and BF4 both refuse to launch and say that an update is necessary. I think this is a battlelog bug.
