  • Hey, @dviavailable  can you try a clean boot to see if any programs are messing with Battlefield 4 and turn off any overlay programs, such as Discord or Nvidia experience.

     

    Can you add a Dxdiag so we can see what hardware and drivers you have? 

     

    Let me know if this works or not for you. 🙂

    Greetings,

    If you encounter an error message about some .dll that are missing, make sure to reinstall/overwrite all vcredist files currently installed on your OS via https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/windows/latest-supported-vc-redist.

    To do so, manually check in "Control Panel>Programs and Features" or in "Add or remove programs" (from Windows Settings>Apps>Installed Apps) for Microsoft Visual C++. Make sure to re-install/overwrite Microsoft Visual C++ for all the years that you find installed as well as their x64 and x86 versions.

    In my case, I had some repair to do for 2015-2022 (and 2013 I think), but that didn't fixed BF4 not launching.

    What fixed the issue was to manually install Microsoft Visual C++ 2013 (x64) as it didnt installed automatically during BF4 install from Steam!?!?

    Hope this helps,


    E
