Re: BF4 Game Crashes on Loading Screen and Forces Hard reboot

Dang lol try this..

BF4 folder in my documents holds game configs and screen shots even if BF4 is installed on different drive. When you uninstall BF4 it does NOT remove this folder. So when you install the game again you can still have the same issues.

1- Go to my Documents and remove BF4 folder place it on your Desktop or trash.
2- Be warned you do have to set up your in game settings again.
3-Repair BF4
4- When done go test your game.

    So I just booted up my computer and tried to play again today, and I'm having the same problem... What could have corrupted the file overnight?

    Not sure it could be in the registry or a windows issue but lets not go down this road just yet. Did you try repair game again? If it finds nothing reboot and try repair game again and test BF4.

    It appears that it launches, albeit with the same laggy first frames, after deleting the folder in Documents. However, after restarting my computer, it no longer works...

    After deleting the BF4 folder from Documents and repairing, I can get into the games. However, the game still lags on the first few frames as before. The only difference is that after the lag, the game loads instead of freezing and forcing me to hard reboot. The game continues to work until I restart my computer. After that, I have to delete the BF4 from Documents again...

    The only thing this sec I can think to try and fully fix it is removing BF4 with CC cleaner then using  CC cleaner on the registry a few times or a program like CC cleaner ... . I will post my steps I used for you read it over think on it the choice is yours as nothing is ever a for sure with this game :/  

    From my post how I fixed my BF4 ...

    http://answers.ea.com/t5/Battlefield-4/PC-This-is-how-to-fix-BF4-after-everything-else-failed-to-fully/m-p/2993466#U2993466

    Now the BF4 part this is what I did after I did all the stuff I just listed  above. I wanted this game to work so bad I  would not work on the game part of it all until I had zero errors in event viewer lol. After all this work I wanted a fully clean install of BF4

    CC Cleaner do you know  it ? If you dont have it its free and safe  and you need it for this next part lol  It is a handy tool as well to have on your PC.   http://www.piriform.com/ccleaner/download

    1- Go to tools in cc cleaner and uninstall BF4

    2-  Go to  my Documents on my C drive and deleted the BF4 folder sitting in there, I have my BF4 installed on H drive but BF4 install still puts the BF4 screen shots and settings on your C drive my documents. And when you un install it stays even in windows add and remove programs. So the point is you want a fully clean install of BF4 delete the BF4 in my documents. Now reboot.

     After Reboot 

    1- Open CC Cleaner again this time your going to registry dont get freaked out lol. All its going to do is remove fragments in the registry from uninstalled programs, It will give your the choice to back up do so if you wish. First time you run it you may have like 80 or more fixes but thats the normal. Empty recycle bin as well cant hurt all traces of BF4 must be gone lol.

    2- Reboot 

    After Reboot

    1- Run  sfc /scannow  just to be sure windows is still good to go. After it is done and if no errors or errors run it again after you reboot. You need 2x No Errors 

    After Reboot 

    1- Open CC Cleaner and clean the registry 

    2- Reboot

    Make sure everything is good clean and stable before you install BF4. Reboot after you do each step ! And ya you may have to run them all a few times before its fully clan and stable :/ 

    3-Now D/L BF4 lol but dont pause it or let it get cut off lol I has to be one fully clean install done at one time.Then Reboot

    4- After BF4 in installed and you did a Reboot  then go to the punk buster site and download  Punk Buster then install PB and be sure to add BF4 game to it and check for updates.

    after all this is done also add settings ......

    Run the game as Administrator:
    Go to the Origin games folder (C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Battlefield 4) and find Bf4.exe. Right click it and go to PROPERTIES, then COMPATIBILITY and check the box next to RUN THIS PROGRAM AS ADMINISTRATOR.
    Do the same with BF4_x86.exe as well.

    Run Origin as Administrator:
    Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin and right click on Origin.exe and go to properties. Then go to compatibility tab and check the box next to RUN AS ADMIN.

    Disable Origin in game:
    In Origin - Application settings - Origin in Game - disable Origin in game

    Make Sure BF4 is set to 64bit if your windows is 64bit
    1- open origin and go to My Games
    2-Right click BF4 and go to Game Properties
    3-Under when launching this game set it to x64 and check off disable origin in game.
    4- Hit apply and test you BF4

    NOTE +++If you have a Nvidia Card uninstall the HD Audio driver you got from the Nvidia driver install  as it makes big issues in BF4

    NEVER have cloud storage on in Origin as it only makes issues.

    5- Test yourBF4 game :]
