  • Hi, what are your system specs? 

    In the meantime check out this list of common fixes...............(especiallly the ones printed in bold)

    -make sure that you've updated your drivers to latest version

    -Do a repair install of the game in Origin. In origin right click your game and from drop down choose repair install.

    -Reinstall Punkbuster.
    Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Battlefield 4 and select pbsv.exe . Choose 'reinstall'
    Install advice for Punkbuster https://help.ea.com/uk/article/punkbuster-technical-issues

    - Make sure you download and install the latest Battlelog plugins.
    First uninstall old Battlelog plugin by going to "Control Panel\Programs\Programs and Features" and removing "battlelog web plugin".
    Then log in using Origin and go to battlelog page where you'll be prompted to download latest web plugin.
    After you have installed it you should clear your cache, exit your browser. Then restart your browser, and then re-login to Origin to ensure proper install.
    If this doesn't work then you should try a different browser (Chrome/Maxthon/Firefox, etc)

    - make sure that your firewall/anti virus isn't preventing the game, Punkbuster or Origin from launching.
    Also check the quality of your internet connection.


    -Run the game as ADMINISTRATOR.

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

    If it still does not work then.............

    -Reinstall DirectX.
    1:go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Battlefield 4\__Installer\directx\redist
    2:Find file named DXSETUP.exe and double click it (while connected to the internet). Install it. It should update your DirectX install.
    3: You might need to reboot computer first.
    4: try to launch game.

    -Reinstall C++ redistributables.
    1:go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Battlefield 4\__Installer\vc\vc2012Update3\redist
