    Give this a try...

    can you play bf4 starting this way?.....Open origin left click bf4 and hit play it will open battlelog as you already know then pick a server and see if you can play. If this fails then try things below.



    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, Qualcomm Killer Service ,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.

    Another thing to try is re- install origin only not your game just origin.

    1. Uninstall Origin completely from Windows Control Panel.
    2. Reboot your PC. This is important to clear out any lingering registry files or directories.
    3. Download the latest here: http://origin.com/download
    4. Install Origin You should not be prompted to update.

I meticulously went through all of your instructions in order and still cant play. I didnt get any errors in any of the scans.

If i click the BF4 64 bit shortcut orgin will start but nothing else. If i click the 32 bit battlelog opens but i still cant play. The game is set to 64 bit in stting

    I figured out Razer Synapsis was keeping the 64 bit instance of BF4 from launching but it still wouldnt connect. 

    After uninstalling and reinstalling Origin i can now play! Thanks for your help!
