I have the latest Origin update, latest update for BF4, updated drivers, but when I click to launch it, all it does is ask the admin permission for the “Battlefield/Battlelog Web Helper” then doesn’t do anything except go back to the origin window like i quit or something. Process doesn’t even show up for BF4 in task manager.

Pretty much the same. I’m downloading the DLCs at the moment so i’d understand multiplayer not working but im trying to play campaign and it gets stuck at initializing . Been there for 30 minutes now.  
Updated PB, plugin, pluginless mode, downloaded chrome and tried there…nothing.  
I seriously don’t understand why use this stupid web interface, it’s broken since BF3

I’m using the plugin free option since i’m trying on chrome now. On mozilla it does ask for the plugin but it can’t install.  
I still can’t play.  
Downloaded all dlc’s and now i’m trying to get into a server.  
It says joining server, i give permision to bf4 exe to launch and it gets stuck there on joining server, same as in campaign
