Yall are making this way more difficult than it is. You do not need to change the PROFSAVE\_profile text file. All you need to do is click the BF3 Tab at the bottom of the screen and then press it again in the same location to refresh the screen to bring you to the Battlefield map so that you can enter the game. BINGO. ---

Tried doing this. It actually opened a tab for BF4 now, instead of me only having access to it from the task manager. However, anytime i click the BF4 while it is open it only flashed my screen black, and doesn’t register a click on the game. ---

So my game started not loading maps properly, they have missing textures, I spawn without any weapons, there are no sounds, except for me getting shot. I cant alt+ctrl+delete to close the game, or close it normally as it just unloads forever. Tried googling it but this was the only sort of relevant thing that came up, that was atleast somewhat recent ---

Welp, was reminded extremely quickly why I uninstalled this game in the first place. Tried RustedRoot’s method, tried playing with compatibility and administrator permissions, tried the PROFSAVE. Nothing. Game doesn’t launch out of Battlelog in browser, doesn’t launch out of Origin, nothing in event viewer to help me diagnose. Just shows a “Do you want this program to make changes to this PC” window when I try to launch out of anything, then blinks back to Origin app. [Previous page](https://battlefieldforum.co/t/fix-bf4-not-launching-windows-10-anniversery-update-causing-bf4-not-to-launch-disappear/104792.md?page=8)
