Hi, what exactly is the error message you are getting?
How far do you get before it crashes? Just as far as the loading screen? Have you ever actually managed to play the game?
If you cannot start the game at all and never have then check the following:
-make sure that you've updated your drivers to latest version (go to Nvidia website)
-That you've installed latest version of punkbuster (punkbuster.com).
- that your firewall isn't preventing game from launching.
-Reinstall DirectX.
1:go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Battlefield 4 Beta\__Installer\vc\vc2012Update3\redist and select the file vcredist_x64.exe.
2: Install it.
3: You might need to reboot computer first.
4: try to launch game.
-If you are using a 64bit operating system make sure you're running the X64 version of the game.
Start Origin, Right Click on BF4 game to select 'game properties', and choose X64 in the 'when launching this game' drop down menu.
-Your Microsoft C++ redistributables (or lack of certain ones) might be causing the problem.
1. Download this file - download link http://www.softpedia.com/progDownload/VC-Redist-Installer-Download-216678.html [softpedia.com]
2. Run the file.
3. In Origin - Application settings - Origin in Game - disable Origin in game.
4. Restart PC
5. Try to play the game now.
The above file installs all the C++ redistributables in one package. Windows update can sometimes miss some of them which prevents the game from starting and causes it to crash while loading (the whitescreen and error message your getting).
If any of this helps let add a reply so others can also be helped.
I get BF4 has stopped working story of my life with this game more so after todays patch so I will try your fix already did all updates bios drivers long ago just the last part I have never done.......
-Your Microsoft C++ redistributables
so I will try it as you fixed my issue tonight with orign not working and oh man thank you for that again. :womanlol: I booked marked this page and will post back if it worked or not. This error makes me nuts as I have tried every fix under the sun and then some the most I was ever able to do is slow down the error until todays patch :womanfrustrated:. If it works I will be sure to give you another xp.
Edit .... its been a few hrs now and so far no crashing don't want to jinx myself but I am impressed I have not crashed yet :]
