  • @Addvlad In order to play BF4 you must use origin ....

    Re- install origin only not your game just origin.

    1. Uninstall Origin completely from Windows Control Panel. <-- if you have it installed 
    2. Reboot your PC. This is important to clear out any lingering registry files or directories.
    3. Download the latest Origin here: http://origin.com/download
    4. Install Origin when done reboot PC

    Make sure all this is up to date on your PC as well as do this for settings ....

    Reinstall Microsoft C++ For my game PC's I install both x64 and x86 as it does not hurt the PC

    NOTE>>> you need to select the x64 or the x86 file depending on what architecture your computer has. To find this out, Click Start, right click on "Computer" and select "Properties". Under system type is should say "32-Bit Operating System" or "64-bit Operating System". If 32-bit operating system, download the x86 file, and if 64-bit download the x64 file.
