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. > [@](#): > > Found a solution that worked for me. Seems like the game launching in borderless mode was an issue. I went to my PROFSAVE\_profile file in the Battlefield 4 settings and edited the following lines to look like: > GstRender.FullscreenEnabled 1 > GstRender.FullscreenMode 0 > GstRender.FullscreenScreen 0 For nubs, here’s a step by step guide: - Go to this location **C:\Documents\Battlefield 4\settings** or wherever your **primary** documents 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 ![6AOoQt3.png](https://battlefieldforum.co/uploads/default/original/3X/e/2/e277d8734c32ec684c567c3dd826a4f34f959591.png) 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. ---

Hello, Thanks a lot for this ! That’s what I tried too and I wasn’t aware of the existence of your post. 😃 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. ---

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

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. 🙂 ---

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 ☹ 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? ---

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? ---

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. ---
