12 years agoBF4 won't launch
Problem: BF4 won't launch. Stuck on "Initializing" or "Joining" in the Battlelog using Mozilla Firefox. tl;dr: The .exe will not initiate. Things I have tried over the past 4 weeks totaling >12...
Any suggestions at all.
Do I have to #Refund to get attention on this forum or something?

Bump, any solutions anyone?
skyttnator, oh man I cannot belive you are still having problems!
I've asked before, but in TASKMANAGER and PROCESSES is PnkBstrA.exe showing up? If not then Punkbuster is your problem.
Avast can have problems with Bf4 for some bizarre reason so double check that Bf4.exe, the entire Bf4 folder, the Bf4 folder in your C/Documents folder, Origin and its folder, Pnkbuster and its folder (basically anything connected to BF4 - espceially any file Bf4/Origin-related ending in .exe) is allowed through your Avast anti virus and any firewall.
I'm having the same problem today -- can't connect to ANY server.
No, no punkbuster exe's show up, however I can play BF3 just fine and they do initiate punkbuster. Punkbuster setup does show that BF4 is present and up to date, it just will not initiate. I have added pretty much everything I can think of to my avast! exceptions list.
Here is a screenshot:
I do not have punkbuster added, I am not sure of the file path.
