Restarted Battlefield 4, but issues persist
Restarted Battlefield 4, but issues persist
Hey everyone, after a year away, I finally tried to re-download Battlefield 4. It’s been really frustrating. The game crashes when you die in multiplayer, disconnects unexpectedly with messages like “please make sure port XXXX is open,” and won’t let me reconnect to a server because it thinks it needs to close first. In the browser, it shows “playing battlefield 4 on PC” even though the game isn’t actually running. It refuses to launch the browser plugin and keeps insisting I “join server” without connecting. What’s odd is that searching for these problems brings up old forum threads from 2013 where others reported the same issues. Has anyone else faced these issues around 2016? Since then, I’ve switched to Windows 10 and used a GTX 1060 instead of an R9 290.
It might be a damaged file or outdated drivers. Consider optimizing the game and, if necessary, reinstall it.
I fixed the game using Origin, and all the drivers are current. The issue where the game doesn’t launch at times suggests it’s not a GPU driver problem, but possibly linked to Windows 10.
