- Download the latest version of the Origin client and install the tool on your PC.
- Download all updates available for Battlefield 4. To do this, right-click on the game in Origin and select “Check for Update” from the context menu.
- Turn off your virus scanner and software firewall as a test. If the game then starts, you will need to create an exception rule.
- Kill applications that are running in the background and are not needed, as they consume memory unnecessarily and can prevent the game from starting. Especially the software “MSI Afterburner” is known to cause conflicts with Battlefield 4.
