  • Hi the_goblinza  try tis if not already done I hope it helps 

    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

    =============================================================

    Origin Cloud Storage turn it off
    Origin, settings, General

    ==============================================================

    If all else fails try this

    Test your windows for errors
    This works in all windows O/S vista win 7,8 and 8.1 windows system file checker :]

    ...... sfc /scannow ..... ever hear of it if not your going to love this .... it will inspect all the important windows files as well as the windows DLL files. If windows system file checker finds any issues with the windows files and windows DLL files it will replace them. This little tool as well as the event viewer saved me and fully helped me fix my BF4 issues as well as saved my .... many a format since I found it. This is the best toy they ever put in windows :]

    For win7 go to start left click in search type cmd and right click cmd pick run as admin
    For win 8.1 right click start bottom left of screen and pick command prompt admin

    1 - Open administrator command prompt and close web pages and programs like origin.

    2 - Type or copy and paste in sfc /scannow and hit enter, This takes 5 min to 15 min SSD vs HD

    3 - This can go one of a few ways ..... no errors ... it fixed some errors ..... could not fix all errors...... does not finish checking and errors out ....... and the last one could not fix errors at all :/

    4 -After its done reboot and do it again even if you had no errors the first time or had errors, could not fix ... run sfc /scannow again and when its done a second time reboot. You need to do this a and get no errors 2 x in a row ...

    5- So if you ran it 2x and no errors your safe you can stop now for now lol, If you had errors first time but not the second then run sfc /scannow again and when its done reboot. You need to get could not find any errors 2 x to be safe. If it still finds errors try and run it a few more times until it finds no errors 2x AND ALWAYS REBOOT BETWEEN RUNNING sfc /scannow

    6 - If you get a message indicating that it can not be repaired and you ran sfc /scannow more then 3x in a row on win vista or 7 mm you need a format or try repair win 7 :/ But after format or repair and all updates are done run sfc /scannow to make sure your windows is stable same deal 2x error free reboot between them.

    If your O/S is Win8 or Win 8,1 then you can run this next command / line in administrator command prompt. Sadly this does not work for win vista or 7 :/ It will restore the health of your PC and you dont lose anything and it will also fix errors in the registry :]

    dism.exe /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth ------- ONLY works for windows 8 and 8.1

    7 - When its done reboot

  • Funny thing is I never had this issue in a long time. I was playing for since the prvious patch and then one day about a week from release of the latest patch it started happening. I alreeady tried the origin overlay off thing and also sfc /scannow. Also did that dism.exe /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth and nothing helps. 

    Also have cloud turned off

  • Ok so your windows is not the issue nor your HD its a good sign. Have you ever tried 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.

    ===================================================================

    Also...

    Others have said if they uninstall MSI Afterburner issues / crashing is stopped. So if you have this installed remove program and test BF4.

  • Just another thing is. I can sometimes play the game for a few matches and sometimes only 1 match before it will freeze on me

  • I would start to look at programs on when in BF4 something is doing this it seems :/ Turn off one at a time and test BF4

    since 14.4 I had nothing changed but suddenly I got crashes

  • I am at a loss as to what to try next sorry :/ Lets hope  someone will respond as to what the fix is. The only main fix I could find on it was to turn off cloud storage in origin.

  • The thing is i haven't try to fix the game just yet. Was playing something else now to see if it's a global issue. By the looks so far it's only bf4. I will let you know if it does it again or if it doesn't for a week i will also let you know.

    BTW i also tried this

    http://lifeandcode.net/2009/05/reduce-game-network-latency-in-windows-7-or-vista/comment-page-1/#comments

    i'm running windows 8.1 so don't know if this can cause a issue only sometimes for me. If I remeember and I could be wrong it happened about that time that I changed this settings

    I also updated my punkbuster and it looks like it got updated.
