Bought BF Hardline today, doesn't work on Windows 10

This morning I bought BF Hardline Deluxe at origin. I downloaded it (together with punkbuster) and updated the plugin for all browsers I have (exept Edge, where battlelog doesn't work). I got an error about 'invalid licence'. I think I didn't get my battlepacks either. Restarted the game, origin and my computer multiple times. What can I do?

  • Hello @PattonTHREEArmy

    I advise you change your browser for launching the game. (For example Google Chrome). Run "Repair Game" in Origin. As you said you have error "Invalid Licence",try the following:

    Try running the installer from the BF4 installation folder as administrator and then restart your computer. The default location of this installer is here:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Battlefield 4\__Installer\vc\vc2012Update3\redist
    In redist, find both the x86 and x64 versions of VCredist.exe. Run and install both versions, and your game should now launch without error.

  • Sorry, didn't work. Can't repair game, the option is not available. It did nothing.

    Delete Battlefield Hardline and Origin Manually Uninstalling the Origin client

  • I had a similar error in BF3 after upgrading to WIN10. What I had to do was log out of origin, run origin as an admin, right click BF3's icon and ran the repair function. Then I logged into Battlelog and it worked again.
  • I got the problem with all battlefield games: BF3, BF4 & BFH. I will try your advise.

  • I found something that worked for BF3, but I fail making this solution work for BF4 and BFH. Can someone help?
