Yes Lonehighlander, you are right, their shit games actually work because they take barely any computational power, so your old grandma’s computer equivalent xbox 360 from almost an entire DECADE ago can run it, but you see, battlefield is a PC game, and isnt meant to run on your outdated camel poop inside a plastic case, but you see, they try to adapt it to it anyways because thats what mommies buy for their little kids, xbox 360’s, so thats where the money is at. Sadly, its a futile effort, and you can only blame yourself really, for expecting any modern video game to run well on hardware that was only considered DECENT almost 10 ing years ago. So, gg. ---

Day 8 since patch broke the game. 1- Can we please get an acknowledgement EA/DICE are working on something more than having us change a config file most of us don’t have? 2- Can we please get an ETA on a real fix to this game crippling bug (P1)? 3- Can we please get a form of acknowledgement from EA/DICE? Thank you. Vyl ---

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 It worked for me 🙂 ---

Work-around found for me. Using all LOW settings on video allows me to play without crashing. Where I use to run this at ULTRA, I can now get it to run at LOW. Enjoy your BF4 Minecraft Edition! Vyl ---

Hey guys. So i just recently bought a PC w/ BF4. When i am playing on servers of 20-64 players and in-game, gameplay is fine. The problem is when the game ends, and switches to another map after the end game scoreboard. My monitor shows usually all red,red corderoy like patterns all over the screen and then my PC restarts. I want to keep playing BF4 but this is making it hard to do so.

No "user.cfg file. uninstalled X2. First reinstall required all three discs, but the Battlelog & Com Center still have white blinking lines. On second uninstall I got rid of everything related to game and it took about 5 hours for the game to reinstall on just one DVD. Still no joy. ---

Looked in the suggested location but do not see a file called user.cfg. I have trouble logging into a server and when I can it takes forever to spawn. If I can finally get logged in I die immediately when there is nobody anywhere around. This last time I saw something I’ve never seen before. After I was dead I could move around in reverse 3rd person looking at my own face while I was able to run around with all controls reversed. Then after about 15 seconds the whole thing crashed and that was it. Normally I just spawn face into a wall and die immediately and then it crashes before the respawn screen appears. ---

Since Feb 25 I haven’t been able to play bf4. I don’t have the config file all. The Only thing I can play is TEST RANGE that works fine. When I try playing on any server no matter what 100 times my game crashes at load up and my computer freezes I have literally shut down my computer to make it work again my computer not the game. I know its not my computer because I play BF3 and various games and they all work fine. BF4 is the onlu one that crashes and completely freezes my computer. it would be nice to play the game. Would like for some help to fix the game and so I can be able to play for something I paid for. Not asking for anything FREE just would like it to work Thank You ---
