    Clicking "Repair install" inside the Origin application worked this time, checked the install and proceceded to download a 618MB update.

    Game now works.

    Thanks to those that helped!

Hi i3luehornet,

Try removing the Battlelog Plugin via the steps here and then reinstall it. This may help in resolving the issue 

Please also make sure that you have added Origin & bf4.exe to the exceptions list for your Firewall/Anti-Virus. Some players have found that this can be caused by the game being blocked by Security Software. 

Thanks

Thank you for the reply,

I followed the steps to uninstall & reinstall the plugin to no avail.

I added the Origin & Origin Games folders both to my Firewall & AV exceptions list.

I uninstalled Origin again & reinstalled, added the BF4 game folder back using this method:

http://www.overclock.net/t/1222388/guide-moving-reinstalling-origin-and-games-without-re-downloading

The game then downloaded a 68MB or so update.

I tried once more to launch Battlelog and join a MP server & have been stuck in a loop of "Game update available" & "YOU NEED TO INSTALL OR PATCH THE GAME BEFORE PLAYING." Battlelog messages.

Clicking "Check for updates" or "Repair install" returns:

  • An unexpected error has occurred. Please try again in a few moments. Error 131079:6 

I have rebooted my system as well.

Still unable to play despite playing the game fine for several hours just last night.

EDIT: I have redownloaded the entire BF4 installation package & still encounter the same error.
