[PC] Battlefield 4 automatically saves and closes.
Hi
I wasn't convinced yet of buying battlefield 4, because of the lag and ingame problems. But now I heard they had fixed a lot of problems, I bought it together with premium.
When I first tried the game I could play for +-10minutes. After that time, the saving icon appeared on screen, and the game was closed automatically without me exiting the game.
Now, every time I join a map, I get the same problem after 15 SECONDS. I paid a lot for this bundle and cannot even play the game!
I searched on the internet, but didn't find the same problem yet. I'm pretty disappointed...
If you know a possible fix, please let me know.
Thanks in advance.
Ok, well I think I found a workaround. It still has to be fixed, but at least you can play battlefield in a non automatically closing way 🙂
It was PunkBuster after all causing the problem and to be precise: PnkBstrA.exe
You have to Kill the Process every time you want to join a new map.
I tried it a couple of times and when I stop the process, I can play without problems.
But when I leave and join another server without stopping the process, it closes automatically.
So after playing, open your Task Manager, search for PnkBstrA.exe and Kill the process.
If it works for you too, please give an XP point so people can see it really helped.
EDIT: You could also try this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PYDXmIdNHbY&feature=youtu.be
It explains you to reinstall C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Battlefield 4\__Installer\punkbuster\redist\pbsvc.exe
EDIT2: I have programmed a simple tool that Shutsdown PunkBuster (PnkBstrA.exe) when you enter a New Server.
Everything is done automatically. You can even set this tool to run at startup. Enjoy!
