Black loading screen with blinking underscore

I think everyone knows what I'm talking about... I've tried joining many mp servers, even the campaign doesn't work. Funny thing is I've been playing past couple of days with no problem so I thought "Hey! EA finally fixed this game!" and I bought the premium, how f stupid of me, the moment it finished downloading the game broke, way to go EA.  I can't even get my money back cause I was a cheap **bleep** and bought it 5 bucks cheaper in some online store instead of Origin. Is there any solution because I found lots of threads with this problem and none had any except obvious like reinatlling the game or running it as admin which don't work for me.

    Works now, I even forgot to reboot after it downloaded (: Anyways I was thinking about why it wasn't working and actually I think it might have something to do with the fact that I had the region locked polish version and bought region free EU key and now the game downloaded in english.. I don't know if that was the cause but that's the only thing that changed, the language of the game. Shame, it's actually a single game that I think is better dubbed in polish than it is in english 🙂

    Well give it a few days and test BF4. Something could have been off with the first install, hard to say. The Admin settings and turning off cloud storage in origin can save you issues down the road so worth doing them with the new install.  As for reboots of a PC some information for you to check out fully your choice on all of this :womanhappy:.. Keep me posted once you feel your bf4 is good to go then mark your topic as solved.

    Run the game as Administrator:
    Go to the Origin games folder (C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Battlefield 4) and find Bf4.exe. Right click it and go to PROPERTIES, then COMPATIBILITY and check the box next to RUN THIS PROGRAM AS ADMINISTRATOR.
    Do the same with BF4_x86.exe as well.

    Run Origin as Administrator:
    Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin and right click on Origin.exe and go to properties. Then go to compatibility tab and check the box next to RUN AS ADMIN.

    Disable Origin in game:
    In Origin - Application settings - Origin in Game - disable Origin in game

    Origin Cloud Storage turn it off
    Origin, settings, General

    Make Sure BF4 is set to 64bit if your windows is 64bit
    1- open origin and go to My Games
    2-Right click BF4 and go to Game Properties
    3-Under when launching this game set it to x64 and check off disable origin in game.
    4- Hit apply and test you BF4
