I really need some help here. So I go to activate BF4, as soon as the screen turns to black there is the loading “dashes” at the upper right corner of the screen. My game for some reason is stuck at this screen now (which it worked fine last night). Has anyone else encountered this problem and have a possible fix? Wanted to see if anyone knows anything before I have to do a complete 67GB reinstall of the game. Thanks. ---

I actually just ran into the same problem today as well. I played the game two days and decided to play it tonight but the main menu won’t load. I’m on PS4 by the way. Instead is a black screen with that underscore in the top right. I reinstalled the game but no dice. ---

There’s apparently a common issue between all BF4 players right now. [Battlefield 4 not working](https://battlefieldforum.co/t/battlefield-4-not-working/157914) Update from a server host (NFO): > From NFO ( a server provider): Issues effecting battlefield servers game wide. From NFO: Blaze (the authentication and stats back-end for this game) seems to be having problems right now and this is causing most servers to frequently crash. This started at about 4:55pm PDT. We have notified EA/DICE of the problem and we hope that they fix it soon. ---

I decided to a complete reinstall of the game which now seems to work. Only thing that sucks is I forgot how misleading the install actually is. You are told its ready but in actuality there is still a chunk of content that has to be installed. God Damn it. ---

Lag wasn’t the problem on my end. The game entirely was unable to load. On that note however you should probably check your connection/ change your server settings to the region you are located in. Personally haven’t had lag issues with this game since launch. ---
