If you guys play on console, please try to delete your console cache or to delete your game in order to re-install Battlefield 4. It might be that some data got corrupted during an update process.

 

@CH10R:

Could you please tell us your exact graphic setup and if this issue is happening on small servers (small TDM or Domination servers) as well?

Your specs are at the lower end of the minimum system requirements and it might be that your RAM has a hard time loading everything in the game, even after spawning. Please go to your ATI Control Center and disable all graphic enhancing features and set the other options under "Games" to performance instead of quality. Make sure that all not needed applications are disabled via your Windows taskmanager and try to update your video-card drive as well as Direct X.

 

Cheers

    Thanks for the reply.

    Yeah, it even happens on small TDM servers. Could you explain what exactly you mean by graphic setup?

    I know about my specs, this is why i already have my graphic enhancement features disabled and everything on performance, same goes for every over program except for BF4 itself (and Origin of course). Also, my driver and DirectX are up to date. So i'm guessing this problem goes down to my specs then?

    Best regards,

      Hehe yeah I can read that. The hardware loading times of your RAM could be an issue as well as your hard drive, do you have an 5400 rpm hard drive or 7200? You could try to defrag your hard drive to improve the performance with the initial loading of the map.
      What basically happens is that the the map loads but it takes still some time until your weapon is fully loaded into the map, the RAM and HD are usually the factor how fast a map is loaded on your PC. In theory, small maps should load faster as they are not that demanding.

       

      With the setup I just mean the video setup in your ingame options menu aka your "Grafikeinstellungen".

        I've got a 7200rpm hard drive as written before. Yeah I will try that, cause i got huge loading times for CQL maps for example.

        Smaller maps do load faster.

        Got every setting on the lowest possible while playing at 1920x1200 resolution.

        Also, for some weird reason i don't seem to get this problem on rush maps. My weapons just appear instantly there. Could be a random case, though.

        Best regards
