  • Are you running Origin as Admin? If not, try it.

    Right click Origin and go to Compatibilty and tick the little box next to RUN AS ADMIN.

    Also are you running the x64 or x86 exe ? To change right click game image in origin, select preferences and change the executable see if it makes any difference..  Also the above posted advice may work so do that to !!

    To me it sounds like a messed up registry as the game is searching for the origin install and not finding it so there is a broken link between the 2. Have you changed the install path for bf4 from default ???

  • Yea iv tried running as admin iv installed as admin im running window 7 x64 iv tried running both exes all my games have always been installed in default location. When I click play in origin the games grays out for a second then comes back and nothing happens but if I click on the exe in the games folder or try and launch from battlelog I get the error
