[FIX] [BF4 Not Launching] Windows 10 Anniversery Update causing BF4 not to Launch / Disappear

Battlefield 4 PC
1

So after having this issue myself and speaking with EA over the phone, it seems like this is such a new issue it’s hard for people to diagnose, thanks to reddit user Rukudo, he posted this fix which seems to work for me. I’ve pasted his response below, it seems like an issue in Borderless mode, I’m assuming EA will release an update shortly to address this issue.

For nubs, here’s a step by step guide:

  • Go to this location C:\Documents\Battlefield 4\settings or wherever your primarydocuments folder is.
  • Open “PROFSAVE_profile” with Wordpad / Notepad++
  • Lines 28, 29 & 31 must be set to the same options as the quoted post above, this is what it should look like

    Done! The game should run as expected now, if you’re still running into issues, check the Realtek Audio Driver as this is something that could also influence the issue.

Thank you, it’s works for me!
Put it on a evidence…

Hello,

Thanks a lot for this ! That’s what I tried too and I wasn’t aware of the existence of your post. :smiley:

If I can add something, think about closing programs like Razer Synapse and his brothers, that’s what I did too and BF4 is now working perfectly. The solution works for BFH too by the way.

Great work iCHarris. Many thanks. Saved me a lot of trouble tonight.

7

Thanks it helped me. Do i have the settings again if a new BF update is coming out ? Or will the update fix everything ?

8

Hopefully EA will realise this is a rising issue and release a patch fairly soon.

Goddamit, came here just for this after reinstalling the game trying to solve it.

THANK YOU.

I think it’s been almost 2-3 months since Microsoft broke this, coincided with a Game DVR update. Disabling gamedvr doesn’t solve it
Hopefully either parties can work out a fix

Still don’t understand how this passed QA, as Microsoft explicitly asked for battlefield 4 feedback

Solved the problem for me just this morning. I installed windows 10 update and … bf4 wouldn´t go anymore.
After applying the fix it worked again. :slight_smile:

12

Too bad this solution doesnt work for me, my game still stops working immediately after launch.

13

Thank you so much! Seriously thank you thank you thank you!
Spent 5 hours troubleshooting and freaking out over this, knew it was the new windows update that was causing this problem.
Went through numerous forum posts and finally found this one, looked at the date and my god… August 2nd.
It worked flawlessly, took me 5 minutes and it fixed it for me!

You are a lifesaver

It’s not work for me :frowning:
When I open the PROFSAVE_profile, the number after lines 28,29 & 31 are already 1,0,0.
Then I launch bf4, it crash and make a loud noise, I can’t even back to desktop!
What should I do next? Should I wait for update?

15

Thank you so much!

16

I worked thanks

17

I system restart becouse of this bug

Hey one more thing all of the code you said in this thread is 1 line above what mine is. Instead of 28 - 31 it’s 29 - 32. Could this cause cause problems?

19

Potentially, you’re looking to copy the options I have, if your GstRender.FullscreenEnabled 1 is line 25 instead of 28, that’s fine, just copy the end number, that being 1, only reason I mention the line numbers is to help people find the options more quickly and because this is the default config.

Move your PROFSAVE_profile to desktop and run the game, it should generate a new file, try then.
