    What anti virus do you have @Haxxolius´?

    And are you using Steam or Origin to start BF4?

    @Haxxolius 

    Have you guys tried all of this?

    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 and your O/S must be 64bit for this to work.
    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

    @Haxxolius Another thing regarding the above post. What you can also try is actually running the game is 32bit, to do this:

    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 x86 and check off disable origin in game.
    4- Hit apply and test you BF4

    What this does is launch the game in it's 32bit config which is usually less demanding and will also only use 8gb of RAM. I've had some experiences in the past where people find this to work.
