Re: [PC] Infinitely High Rubber Banding

Hi 😕mileyhappy: to try and help you the gold battle packs are not a bug. Back in the March patch it was supposed to give you a gold battlepack for every class service star. However, this feature was disabled. The Nov 18th patch re-enabled it. All these battlepacks come from class service stars that you got between March and November.😕mileyhappy:

Now lets try and fix your game try this please..

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

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 REBOOT your PC and then test your BF4

Reboot PC test BF4

Another thing that may be worth trying: run a Clean Boot: http://help.ea.com/en/article/how-to-clean-boot-your-pc/
This should ensure that no programs are interfering in the background.

Check your firewall to be sure it is open to the game and not blocking it.

Disable Mantle if you have it and try Direct X, Turn OFF Anti-Aliasing Deferred in video card settings in game. If you have page file turned off then turn it back on as this can make errors even with 32gigs ram.

Others have said if they uninstall MSI Afterburner issues / crashing is stopped. So if you have this installed remove program and test BF4. Also look at other programs as Razer synapse,Fraps,EVGA Precision, Geforce experience, be sure to turn off the streaming function that is enabled by default ,Raptr, RivaTuner , ASRock eXtreme Tuner, Steam, Skype, aero ,Overwolf extra program in teamspeak and xfire are known to make issues as well. And I am sure more programs not in my list yet turn one off at a time and test BF4. Since last patch more programs now give issues :/

Uninstall the HD Audio Driver from the video card driver install add/remove programs. This silly thing makes issues in BF4 for some. Reboot then repair BF4 to be safe.


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. Even if its not a new install it is still worth trying as the game cfg could be mucked up.

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. If it fails reboot your PC and run repair game again and test BF4.

    Well, I tried everything all the way down to the clean boot, and none of them worked.

    Then, I did a clean boot, and it worked!

    So... I guess I'll go isolate every single program, or something.

    Got it.

    @Zorlacc Qualcomm Killer Service is part of the Atheros Gaming Nics. how ever the software does cause issues with Battlefield as it triggers the issue with Windows NDU service (Network Data Usage Monitor). If a user doesn't mind loosing the Packet Priority system that the Qualcomm Killer Service gives then Uninstalling that software will be the best action else you need to run some commands which i can paste in here.

    Run a command prompt as admin then type the following command.

    sc config Ndu start=disabled
    sc stop Ndu

    then reboot your computer, if this doesn't work you can revert via your system restore point or run command prompt as admin again and then type

    sc config Ndu start=auto
    sc start Ndu

    Hope this helps as a point of reference and it will save you looking it up. Its also a known issue but the drivers for Qualcomm Killer NIC's hasn't been updated since the Bigfoot Killer Networks was taken over by Qualcomm.
