For the past week or so I haven’t been able to play BF4, for some reason when I launch it runs as a background process and says its running.. I’ve tried a few fixes on the internet, and to no avail nothing has worked, I uninstalled and reinstalled both origin, BF4, and all DLC. It worked for one match, then when I went to get back on with my brother it did it ran for o say 5 or 6 minutes, then it kicked me from the server with no error message, and now it runs in background again. Ive checked all my processes all my apps, theres nothing out of the ordinary that wasnt there before.
If it helps, Im on Windows 10
Nvidia GTX650
Intel Core i5-4440 3.1GHz Quad-Core Processor
Have exactly the same problem. Have already reinstalled the game 3 times .Still only runs as background process.
Not sure what the problem is
Oh man! What a rip-off this game is!!! I’m having the same problem. Just trying out the game for the first time. Takes very long to load and says it’s running and that I’m playing online… only I’m not playing at all!! Just has the loading screen and message at the bottom and no error message of any kind, just can’t play.
I am a veteran of Star Trek Online, and I’ve gone the rout of re-installing ant all that jazz, but none of that will help here as I’ve already read. It appears to be a problem on the server end and I will be glued to this process to see how long it will take to address the issue and fix it.

BATTLE PACKS!! After purchasing the game, there is no clue that I saw that says I had to buy a battle pack before I can enter a map and deploy. I can see it now… an endless supply of money I will need to fully enjoy the game.
Anyway, I bought a gold pack for 3 bucks and can now play. JOY!!! 
?It has nothing to do with buying Battlepacks?
The Game is not designed to run well on integrated graphics and that could cause some problems that seems to sorted themself after a few restarts of the system in your case.

I for myself encountered a little problem with win10 and bf4/origin.
Sometimes when i try to enter a server via battlelog i get prompted three times from win10 to allow access.In that case my bf4 runs in the background forever.I restart Browser and Origin and then i get prompted only 2 times and the connect to a server works flawless.
May the Force be with you.
Thanks HST’, I did figure out that the battle pack had nothing to do with getting in. For some strange reason I got distracted as soon as I hit the arena and had to quit. Now can’t get back again. I will be upgrading soon to a core 6 with some-kind of GPU, not sure which, but I know I need more for this game to run. I had the same sort of issues when I was playing STO on a MAC
I will have to try multiple log-in attempts and resets until I get in again.
“Run As Administrator” option. That did it for me. Now I can get in anytime.
If this is Windows 10, you will need to edit your Config file and disable Borderless Window Mode.
See this thread as this problem was found in the Preview (beta) build for Windows But has not been fixed yet.
