I’m on Windows 8.1 x64. Game doesn’t load at all. No load screen, no crash to desktop, just will not load. I have reinstalled, I have tried a few fixes I found online, like reinstalling Punkbuster, running as administrator, running the files in the /redist folder. Nothing has worked. Any help would be great. ---

I’m not a fan of how EA requires you to use your browser to launch the game. Everytime I find a new server, I have to basically load the whole game up. ---

It doesn’t try to load up my browser at all, I click Play and absolutely nothing happens. I just tried repairing the game and that didn’t work either. ---

Some times I have to click the game icon again to make the game appear. Other than that it mostly run without errors. I have read about someone getting window mode when programs like TeamViewer are running. Can you see the process in the Task Manager? ---

Are you launching the game from origin? Have you gone to the battlelog website and tried launching from there? ---

Go to this website, and make sure you have origin up and running. It should let you start a match from the site. My brother was having a similar issue with the game. Basically, when you hit “play” from origin, all it does is launch your browser to this website, so going there directly should give you the same results.

What about when you can open the webpage fine but any actual game client fails to load past a black screen or barely visible loading screen? ---

The workaround seems to just be starting the game up through the Battlelog webpage. ---

For the record the solution to my problem (for anyone experiencing same issue) was to disable origin in game in the origin options, and to close MSI Afterburner as it interferes somehow. Game loads just fine now. Connecting to a server is still hit and miss, but at least Campaign is reliable…
