    • Head to the Battlefield 4 installation folder, C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Battlefield 4 by default, then find the _Installer folder.
    • In _Installer, navigate into the VC folder, then into vc2012Update3, and finally 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.

Here that happened too. Had to uninstall and reintall vcredist_64.exe. Didn't need to reinstall x86 cause it was already done by x64 setup. But sure its a shame that after all that time this problem and the directx problem installation wasn't solved by Origin/EA.
