Issues unresolved
Audio Cutting Out
Some users report that most audio cuts out randomly, leaving only helicopter gunshots, players footsteps and gunfire heard.
DirectX Error: GetDeviceRemovedReason
If you're running Nvidia SLI and getting this error, you need this:
This is definitely the fix if you are running SLI and experiencing this error:

Mouse Connectivity Issue
If you can't control the mouse in the game itself and only in the options menus, follow this link for a possible fix. COMODO USERS ONLY, so far, this is the only person to have found a possible fix for Comodo products only, contact your antivirus provider for help. Try asking them if their software has a coded software which blocks programs real time, or show them the thread to give them the general idea of what you are talking about.
Memory Leaking
Many users report sudden memory leaks when loading maps, others report gradual leaks that slowly make the game unplayable.[4]
Issues fixed
Stuck on Loading Screen / Game Closes with No Error Message / PunkBuster Initialization Failure
PunkBuster issues may cause the game to become stuck on the black loading screen with the flashing indicator at the top-right, or cause you to be kicked mid-game by the server with or without the following error messages:
- Game disconnected: you were kicked by PunkBuster. Stated reason: PunkBuster kicked player '(player name)' (for 0 minutes) ... RESTRICTION: Service Communication Failure: PnkBstrA.exe.
- Game disconnected: you were kicked by PunkBuster. Stated reason: PunkBuster kicked player '(player name)' (for 0 minutes) ... RESTRICTION: Service Communication Failure: PnkBstrB.exe.
Unable to connect to Battlelog error message
Poor Game Performance
There are widespread reports of poor performance and stuttering. Some of the reportedly working fixes include:[5]
VC++ Runtime Redistributable Crash During Origin Install
- Error message: "The VC++ runtime redistributable package was not installed successfully. Setup cannot continue."
Game becomes unresponsive while changing controls
- There is a bug in the beta with rebinding keys: after several rebinds the game either crashes or becomes unresponsive because the configuration file becomes huge.
Not Entering Fullscreen Correctly
If you are using remote desktop software (e.g. LogMeIn, Teamviewer, etc.) then the game may not enter fullscreen mode correctly. Close the offending program and fullscreen should work again.
Also Samsung Magician could be the culprit, exiting it will help reestablish fullscreen mode.
You need to download and install this expansion
You may receive this error message when attempting to join a China Rising server if you have copied the Battlefield 4 game files from another computer or installation.
The game freezes for some milliseconds every X seconds
There are some solutions to this problem, the one that is more reported as working is:
Other options that could work are:
- DirectX Fix;[6]
- in the video tab check that the RESOLUTION SCALE value isn't at 200%;[7]
- disable ShadowPlay;[8]
- set the CPU to stock speeds (if it is overclocked).[9]
- Add Origin,You game located folder, bf4.exe, bf4_x86.exe, pbsvc.exe, Origin.exe, OriginClientService.exe to you antivirus exclude list.
