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...
Hey, at least we are getting the attention that a customer deserves, especially after 2 months of having the game and not being able to even so much as launch the campaign or test range. Wait..
Haha!! Wow 2 months huh only at 2 weeks. Just talked to EA Advisor today they couldn't figure it out. Referring me to a level 3 advisor have a feeling they won't be able to figure it out either. Its a very strange problem. When you load yours up with Origin "offline" does it start up except its a big black block?
So I finally after much frustration and by myself figured out what was causing my problem. My Logitech G930 headset and Battlefield are some how conflicting causing Battlefield 4 not to launch. I'm thinking its a BF4 issue because they work just fine with every other game I play. I had to unhook them restart the computer and then the game launched. So hope this helps anyone else from further frustration.
Do you overclock your CPU?
While trying to solve my FPS drop issue (some suggested overclocking my solve it) i overclocked my CPU by 5% and while everything looked fine on teh surface, I notced one of CPU cores was unstable and at the same time BF4 wouldnt load... it would appear in Task Manager for 1 or 2 second then close. Try using the stress testing software Prime95, it will show if any of your cores are unstable.
I reduced my CPU back to normal settings and BF4 booted fine again.... still get the FPS drops though ☹️
