Alright so i'm getting really pissed off because last night during the midnight launch i was able to play just fine, but with some graphics lag.. but now my **bleep**ing mouse and keyboard won't work in game... and after spending 30 minutes looking online, all i've seen is **bleep**ing 12 year old kids soaking their panties a bout having **bleep**ing keybaords and **bleep** on the ps4, which i could car eless about!, SOMEONE **bleep**ING HELP ME BEFORE I THROW MY MONITER HALFWAY ACROSS THE US INTO THE **bleep**ING DICE BUILDING...
Try deleting the settings folder located in the Battlefield 4 folder located in the Documents folder.
didn't work, instead now i ahve no control over it, and it loads in window mode.
Sounds very weird. Are you running something odd in the background and have you tried a reboot?
The issue isn't with the keyboard/mouse in particular. I believe the issue that lolwuthah is referring to has been a problem since the beta that myself and thousands of others had and reported on the forums. I have this same issue as well and this is what happens: You can choose any server, it will start loading the level etc. The game then loads and you see the map loading screen and hear the game volume. Then once you reach the deployment screen you can't click on anything, you can't press escape to access the menu, can't pick a spawn point/soldier class. You can see various items moving on the map layout and can sometimes see things on the minimap view at the bottom left corner. If you wait it out, eventually you will be kicked for idle inactivity.
The same issue occurs when loading single player as well. The loading video is shown, then you reach a scree where it says press enter. However, pressing enter doesn't do anything so single player can't be played as well.
The proposed solutions have been updating punkbuster from evenbalance, updating graphics drivers, or repairing the game install on origin.
None of these solutions worked during the beta, and unfortunately the same problem persists with the release of BF4. This issue is quite disappointing as myself and thousands of others had hoped there would be a resolution following this problem during the beta.
My specs for what it's worth:
Windows 8 64 Bit
Intel i7 4770
Asus H87-Plus Mobo
16 GB (8x2) Corsair Vengeance Memory
ATI RAdeon HD 4870
This is the same problem I am having as well. I first noticed this problem during the beta. I tried playing the beta and could not spawn there. I assumed that this would be fixed for the real game and sadly it is not. Nothing has changed I still can not use the keyboard or mouse and certainly can not spawn in. I am at my wit's end here and don't know what else I can try as I have looked up and researched a million different possible fixes and none have worked. I need someone from EA tech support to fix this problem as I have shelled out 60 dollars for this. This is just unacceptable.
Any suggestions to resolve this issue?
Sorry you're having so much anger issues, but you'd have to throw your monitor half way across the globe since DICE's HQ is in Sweden 😉
Having the same issure! Please fix this soon.
Deploy screen, not mouse or KB. Everything worked fine before the last update.
Win7 in BootCamp-mode
current macbook air 11"
Punkbuster Tip worked once, but not after that although it says "no errors". And when it worked, it was only for the TestRange.
Also reinstalled Razer Deathadder 3.5G drivers, no success.
possible fix:
while BF4 ist closed:
windows task manager
show processes from *all* users
kill PnkBstrA.exe
restart if from the game directory as described above or sometimes it opens with BF4.
