I am getting very frustrated right now. Nothing fixes these crashes. My Windows 7 works, why not Windows 8.1? There is no excuse!! This started happening after 13th Feb patch. Roll that back and allow us to play the game! This is not OK to be happening after this many months! “Battlefield 4 has stopped working…”. What did the patch this morning accomplished!!! ---

Halfway through a game, I couldn’t look down. Couldn’t spawn in a vehicle and when i respawned in my base, I was still looking at the sky. No user.cfg file either ☹ ---

Well, I dont even have the file, the details are quite simple, the game doesn’t event start, all I get is the black screen with the flashing white bars forever, test range and multiplayer not working ---

ok guys, go to the origin folder in program files on your pc, then go to bf4, then find “user cfg” folder and just delete everything in in and save, you will then be able to join games as usual. If your worried just copy and paste the info but trust me it will sort your problem of not being able to join games after the latest patch today. Ive noticed that if you try to configure the game using bf4 setting editor afterwards you will not be able to join again, maybe it is the bf4 setting editor that has a conflict ? anyhow, delete everything in your user config folder and everything will be fine. ---

Very nice update this, sarcasm intended. Cant play for longer then 5 minutes before the game crashes. This used to be at least 15 minutes -\_- ---

Fix boarderless fullscreen. It is not acceptable that I should have to reconfigure the setting every single time when I join a server. ---

I dont have UI.Draw.Enable in my user.cfg. Still crashes after last patch on Windows 8.1 pro x64 using directx on 7970 , catalyst 14.1, 16G RAM, i5-2500k No soundloop this time, but still crashes.
