Re: Download and install Origin to play the game
- Try flushdns to flush your dns cache ( http://www.wikihow.com/Flush-DNS )
- Try cleaning your browsers' cache and temporary files using CCleaner ( http://www.piriform.com/ccleaner )
- Try reinstalling Origin by manually uninstalling first ( https://help.ea.com/article/manually-uninstalling-origin ) + make sure it's the newest version
- Run Origin and Battlefield 4 as administrator ( http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/ff431742.aspx )
- Try restarting your computer and network equipment (routers, switches etc.)
- Try another browser (Chrome/FireFox/IE)
- Try repairing your game in Origin (right click --> repair)
- Check if Punkbuster is running correctly and update it manually ( https://help.ea.com/in/article/punkbuster-technical-issues )
- Try setting bf4.exe and Origin as a trusted application in the windows(/other) firewall
- Update ALL your drivers especially the graphics card but also components like soundcards, network card, motherboard/chipset, headset and mouse+keyboard, to the newest version, if the problem came with a new driver then remove that driver and downgrade to the driver that worked.
- Try testing if the problem is still there if you perform a clean boot ( http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135 )
