    • 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.

I have the exact same problem as the topic creator.  When I navigate to ProgramFiles (x86)\Origin Games, there are no subfolders.  I find this weird because I do have other games installed and I've tried to install BF4 but to no avail.  Any ideas?

  • Uninstall both then reinstall both should work fine the next time!
