    Hey @CaosFactor,Please ensure all graphics drivers are updated, including the Intel(R) UHD Graphics integrated card. Create a gaming profile to launch the game with the high-performance graphics card.

  • Hello

    thanks for the reply.. i tried everything under the sun except another uninstall and reinstall which i did a  countless number of times.. EA support wasn't much help either... i was told to follow the steps in a website basically stopping all my non Microsoft services running in the background....

    however i decided to bite the bullet and did an uninstall via the EA App then cleared the EA APP cache.. after which i located any folders with BF4 and manually deleted them..

    reboot......

    Reinstall via the app .....

    And now its working again....

    i thinking the EA App must of had corrupted cache files from the previous downloads... but who knows.... its working again!!!!

    but thanks for the helps

    Thank you for sharing the steps that helped you resolve this issue; we really appreciate it 👍. 

    I'm glad to hear that the problem has been fixed. It seems that the error was due to a corrupted file if reinstalling the game resolved the issue.
