Me too! Hey were did you get the 13.4 Drivers? Have you fixed you're issue yet?

They are the Nvidia 331.40 beta drivers suggested for BF4 Beta.

And yes, issue has been resolved.  It took a combination of things, but I am now able to play.

I will assume that you have installed the game, recommended drivers (331.40 beta), and have updated Punkbuster.

Follow the steps described earlier in this thread to remove the .cab files from your BF4 Beta's directX directory.  Locate it within your install path:

.......\Origin Games\Battlefield 4 Beta\__Installer\directX\redist

Open the redist folder.

Sort the list of files by type, then select and delete all .cab files.  You can cut and paste them into another directory elsewhere, if you prefer. Once this is done, open Origin to My Games and right click on the BF4 Exclusive Beta tile. Select Repair Install.  This will initiate a scan of your BF4 installation and replace your missing .cab files.  This took only a few minutes to complete.

Once this is done, shut down Origin.  Restart BF4, go to multilayer to find a game, and join it.

I got the DirectX error again, but it seemed to get me deeper into the startup than the previous almost-instant crash.  I am not sure if that is why my missing settings folder appeared, or if it was replaced when I did the Repair Install.

In any case, the folder (.....My Documents\Battlefield 4\settings) was present and making an edit to the PROFSAVE_profile file in it as suggested in another post (max8987) seems to have finally resolved the issue.

In this line within the PROFSAVE_profile file, change the variable at the end to 1: 

GstRender.OverallGraphicsQuality 1

Save the file, close it.

Now - enjoy the beta! (I hope)
