Just an idea, I was getting the constant lockups trying to get in games and switched from Chrome to IE and it seemed to solve it. So there might be a fault with Chrome right now.

I can’t load up with Chrome, I have been using IE. But as the game progresses, the game becomes less and less responsive. Like some kind of memory leak is present. Eventually I can barely turn since there is so much mouse delay.

I had no crashed BEFORE the latest patch. Now the game is freezing/locking up on almost every game.

I have tried changing user configs (none/custom), changing browsers (not chrome to firefox), turning on V-sync, disabling Origin overlay/cloud, running as an admin… and nothing fixes it.

The game was working flawlessly and now even though it is barely playable, it is not enjoyable. So whatever you “patched” completely fucked up my running the program.

so we are giving feedback, any suggestions?

I keep having the same issue as everyone else. My game keeps freezing my entire PC when i try to join a server. I have to restart it everytime.  
And i don’t have a config fil/user.cfg.

Before the patch, i didn’t have this problem. Any help DICE/EA? Please?

I loaded up the Test range and had no problem at all: Chrome or IE. So it’s something with the net code.

DICE is too occupied spending our hard earned money.  
I guess you guys forget the same situations with the previous games?  
On my case I was so stupid that I fell on purchase the BF 4 Premium with all extensions ($119.00).  
Now another fuck up and not even 5 cents of consideration.  
I hope that we have learn a lesson!  
And please Don’t tel me that my pc is not capable of running it.

Same here, i use to never crash. I tried everything even completely un-install/re-install. Test range works perfect, spectating works perfect. But as soon as i try to play in a server 5-10 mins in and BOOM crash 100% of the time.

Ok, so i do NOT have that cfg file BUT… my stock overclocked GPU from sapphire (r9 280x toxic) was the culprit of my freezing issues. I guess the stock overclocks of 1150mhz for gpu and 1600mhz for memory do not play well with bf4.

i reduced my gpu settings to 1000mhz and 1500mhz respectively and have played without issue since (though this is the ONLY game i have to take these measures with)… Max Payne 3, Bioshock Infinite, CS, and Dishonored all run perfectly fine with the stock overclock from sapphire.

Fix this, DICE. But not to the point where you break something else please.

running 14.2 drivers and mantle btw

This is definitely my last BF game. I was not that pissed until today. I have had the occasional crashing issues like most but they are few and far between so was not an issue to me. Now when trying to get into an online game, like most, it starts to load a level and then I get the " ERROR You were disconnected from EA Online ". This is horse shit. How come there are some people that can play the game and others can’t? I have windows 7, is it possible that the people that can play online have windows 8? I too do not have that user.cfg file that supposedly will fix the game and how come some people have that and some don’t? I have done every suggestion that I have seen and nothing works, except for reloading the whole game. Guess I will have to go back and play Battlefield 3. It works fine. Thanks EA. Great game when it works but not really worth the headaches it is causing myself and others.

Thank you, BF4 starts, after following EA\_Rick

EA\_Rick said:  
Hi everyone,

We are aware that some of you have been experiencing some crashing since the patch this morning. Below is a workaround for this problem:

1. Go into your game directory (dir:\Program files(x86)\Origin Games\Battlefield 4)
2. If you have a “user.cfg” file, open it in notepad.
3. Delete the command line “UI.DrawEnable 1”
4. Save the file
5. Start the game

Thanks again…

Why is the game still in this state after months have passed upon release? I understand bugs are present and need nailing as a game is released, but this game wont even start! lol

And to polish it off, you guys are talking about BF5 already 🙂 – good stuff

The same problem with my game too. Did get past the port 3659 problem and was able to join a server and to deploy in the game. Tried to move and the game turned sluggish, ping was 62. Then it turned worse, even slower first until to a total freeze and crash/kick from the server.

The game was fine at first after the latest patch, but got the symptoms in the middle of the round the day before yesterday. Not been able to play since…

You not alone buddy, I haven’t played the game properly since last so called ‘‘stability update’’ I have same symptoms 2-3 + min in game and then sound hangs up and then bf4 stopped working message appears, only thing we can do is to wait till they release new patch which would perhaps solve our issue, it can be for quite a while I may add, until then just play something else, and enjoy well spent money on bf4 😃 (sarcasm)
