Re: Bought BF Hardline today, doesn't work on Windows 10

Hello @PattonTHREEArmy

I advise you change your browser for launching the game. (For example Google Chrome). Run "Repair Game" in Origin. As you said you have error "Invalid Licence",try the following:

Try running the installer from the BF4 installation folder as administrator and then restart your computer. The default location of this installer is here:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Battlefield 4\__Installer\vc\vc2012Update3\redist
In redist, find both the x86 and x64 versions of VCredist.exe. Run and install both versions, and your game should now launch without error.

  • Sorry, didn't work. Can't repair game, the option is not available. It did nothing.
