Is battlelog down? Everytime i try to launch a game I get “unidentified game” and need activation in origin.

We are aware of the issue trying to start games using Battlelog and that you get an activation window coming up. The only workaround is starting Battlefield 4 using the origin launcher and not Battlelog.
No eta on a fix but we are working on it.

One guy on reddit said that clearing the origin cache worked for him, but it did not work for me. Easy enough to give it a try.

is this a way to force people to use the origin launcher? how is this a hard fix for your programers?
Just After the new " update " of ORIGIN the disaster started !
Thank you for recognizing you GUYS in EA have a Problem and screw it out, thnks for working in a FIX … pronto c 
I just used Battlelog and Better Battlelog to see true player count and number of tickets then joined thru Origin. Worked. A little cumbersome , but better than going in blind.
I do the same.
Also, found last night you can no longer join on a friend from BF4 UI (in game).
It appears if you use IE and turn off Plug in free startup, it works as before. Everyone else is pooched.
This still isn’t fixed? smh
The “we are aware of the problem” banner is gone. Odds they intentionally broke it?
EA Online is overloaded at the moment, please try again in a minute or two
and now this ; activation reqiured,
i cant play again. oh man such… grrrrrrr
it has been almost 8 years man how the f.. you could break something up
working on a fix? i wonder what else s gonna break something up later on..
You need to use “Internet explorer”, not the edge version or Firefox
Then go to battlelog settings and turn off “Game Launch” (Use plugin-free game launching )
then try to play any server, if it ask you to download anything, then download and install, then try to join.
It’s atemp fix, once they fix revert the settings back to original.
Still does not work with internet explorer!
This Works for me
'origin this code has already been redeemed ’ 80% bf4 players problems
same info on my “code has been used” (only owning a downloaded paid version) and my account is the same since the beginning, all the info is correct but still can’t start in battlelog… and the origin game launch works but you can’t change anything in there, it still is broken as it has been from the beginning… great way toplayers and long time battlefield veterans EA/DICE… great job… finally I got some days off from work and now I can’t play the servers I like because I can’t find them in the origin version (as the server browser is a piece of junk)
It shows full servers but everything is empty and I hate to get on empty servers to just sit around
please get the issue sorted out and get it working again… and battlelog was working fine until your programmers screwed it up
by the way… you need battlelog to report cheaters and hackers… but once in the game you are basically screwed because you can’t leave the game once the round has ended until the next round has started… you could in the battlelog version by jumping back to the browser window with “Alt + Tab” and then leave the server that way… PLEASE fix your broken game I paid a lot for
by the way… no way to change anything in the “origin game launcher” like the soldier portrait or the emblem, nothing… at least not in BF4… worst decission ever made by your company…
Like I said, you can still use battlelog, just do this:
EA Pleas repair this BF4 problem we waiting 4 days !
