unreadable disc error Battlefield 4

I had this problem and worked with EA support to fix it.

In short... you need to install the game to the HD.  I had deleted it before installing.

From the xbox home screen go to game... My games... BF4 ... select install.  I think she had me hit 'x' to get it to install to the HD.

I had to download all the content again... but it works now.

I hope you have success.  If not... have them call you and walk you thru the fix.

Good Luck.

email me at [edit: email address removed] if you have questions.

The above post does not fix all sircumstances, this issue should not be categorized as solved. 

Good job hrnovocane on getting through to someone for an attempted fix but, I can't even get my game to read at all so I would not categorize this feed as having a solution. I hope this does help for those people who are able to get the game to read initially, let us know. 

eaguy (3rd post) said the same thing "You could try installing the game onto your Hard Drive". 

I followed steps 1, 2, 3, 4, and 6 and nothing, the game is still saying the disc error. 

THIS IS ABSOLUTELY CRAZY!

How can a game this big have so many discs that doesn't work? 

I thought I was the only one but got shocked when I saw everyone who had the same problem. 

My story: Got home from school, ******* excited to play the new awesome Battlefield after waiting two years for it to release. I put in the disc in my Xbox 360 (probably more gentle than if I would have held a baby) and start the game. Everything works just fine and after I installed the HD and multiplayer updates I am requested to restart the console. After I did that the screen turns black after the start screen with the guy running has faded away. My heart starts beating but I calmly restart the console again. And again. And again. luckily I own two Xboxes so i switched the harddrive and put the game in the other console (I am now playing on the same harddrive but on another xbox). I start the game and surprisingly everything works just the way it should. I started the first campaign mission on Normal and waited. IT WORKS! Happy as I am I play through the first mission and about 90% of the second one. I was just about to blow up the tank that blocked the way and then it stops and says: "This disc is unreadable". I tried to restart it several times but it would "freeze" at the same spot over and over again. The next day I returned it and got a new copy of the game. I put it in and the same thing happened, but only twice. Suddenly at my third attempt of restarting it it worked and i played through the rest of the mission. I was happy as hell but in the beginning of the third mission it happens again. I restarted it but it didnt work. :catmad:

I bought this game for 550 Swedish kronor (about $85) and i excpect it to work. So pleeeeease, EA, give me a legit answer on how to solve this godforsaken problem.

Try installing the game to your hard drive, it managed to work for me and ive been playing smoothly since. Takes a few attempts to install it though because it will say the disc is unreadable during the installation so just keep trying

keep trying to install it to the hard drive, i tried about 5 times. not sure about the console overheating
