If you are here, you already know that Battlefield 4 ~~Open BETA~~ just started and not without problems. I have gathered most common problems here and how you can solve them.

03.12.2013 - China Rising & new client update starts to roll out

Origin downloading Battlefield 4 - China Rising

The upcoming PC game update will launch December 3, to coincide with the launch of the expansion pack Battlefield 4 China Rising for Premium members on all platforms. The game update will start to roll out at 1AM PST/10AM UTC Dec 3, followed by the actual China Rising content around 2AM PST/11AM UTC. You can expect some downtime around these times as servers are being prepared to support this new content.

The change list for this PC game update is the same as previously announced (see below.) As ususal, we will continue to iterate on stability and tweak the game based on your feedback. Stay tuned.

Dec 3 PC Game Update Notes

Removed the blur effect on soldiers that appeared when Commanders were using EMP attacks
Fixed the audio bug where audio sometimes randomly dropped out while playing on certain multiplayer maps (typically Golmud Railway and Hainan Resort)
Fixed the "one-hit kill bug" where occasionally damage from a single bullet was applied multiple times
Fixed a common crash that would occur when exiting from the Single Player Campaign to Main Menu
Tweaked the network and computer performance screen to show proper values. Players can now test their computer and network connection and get recommendations if they need to adjust something to improve their gameplay experience

Slow download fix - 14.11.2013

1. Open notepad and paste these lines there:

	[connection]
	EnvironmentName=production  

	[Feature]
	CdnOverride=akamai

2. Save to your desktop as EACore.ini and restart your Origin and it will ask that do you want to use your custom ini from desktop. Select yes.

New client patch is live! - 14.11.2013

As you can see, new client patch is now live! Download servers are quite full at the moment and my download speed is currently 30KB/sec... Let's see if this patch fixes most of the problems. Restart your origin if it doesn't start to download this update automatically.

Unexpected error, stopped working, game doesn't start

04.11.2013 - UPDATE Test these one by one to check if one of these was causing your problem.

Update your graphics drivers to latest beta, cause it fixes different kind of stability issues.
If you are running with SLI or CrossFire, then disable other cards so that you are using only one card.
Disable your antivirus / firewall software.
Start origin by right clicking it and select "Run as administrator".

ATI Radeon owners

UPDATE 30.10.2013

If you are having any kind of DirectX, graphics dll, game shutting down suddenly -errors, please download latest 13.11 BETA8 drivers from here -> http://support.amd.com/en-us/kb-articles/Pages/latest-catalyst-windows-beta.aspx.

If you are having any kind of DirectX, graphics dll, game shutting down suddenly -errors, please update to latest 13.10 BETA2 drivers. You can get them from here http://support.amd.com/us/kbarticles/Pages/AMDCatalyst13-10WINBetaDriver.aspx .

Nvidia GeForce owners

If you are having similiar errors as described earlier, please update to latest GeForce 331.40 BETA drivers. You can get them from here http://www.geforce.com/drivers/results/67378 .

DirectX Error - Make sure you have a supported graphics card

If you get this error that says something like "DirectX function... Free virtual memory... Total resource memory... Make sure you have a supported graphics card with at least xxx MB". It speaks for it self: Your graphics card doesn't have enough memory to run with your settings. Lower your resolution or quality settings OR buy new card.

ERROR Game disconnected: your connection to the server timed out.

Your game runs couple of minutes or less and then it shuts down and this text comes to webpage. Sounds familiar? There is couple of things you can try. First of all, update your graphics drivers as i mentioned earlier.

Punkbuster

There has been problems with Punkbuster and PB hasn't installed at all, OR it doesn't add Battlefield 4 automatically to PB's game list, OR PB couldn't download required files for Battlefield 4. So let's install PB manually.

1. Open this page http://websec.evenbalance.com/downloader/download.php?file=1and insert security code, and download latest Punkbuster for Windows. You can save the setup where ever you want but i suggest you to save it to Battlefield 4 folder "C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Battlefield 4 Beta\" or so.

2. Right mouse click "pbsetup.exe" and select Run as administrator and follow the instructions.

3. You should see now "PBSetup v3.6". In my case it's totally empty. Click Add a Game and select Battlefield 4 from dropdown list. Click Add Game.

Punkbuster 3.6 steps to add Battlefield 4

4. Click Check for Updates.

5. Now it should show you this Update in Progress window.

Punkbuster 3.6 updating Battlefield 4 files

6. If everything went as expected, you should see this, and you don't need to worry about Punkbuster anymore and you can skip extra steps.

Punkbuster 3.6 finished updating Battlefield 4 files

7. But if not... You will see something like this. If you received some error while updating PB, then go to next step.

Punkbuster 3.6 error when updating Battlefield 4 files

8. Download this RAR archive //wiretuts.com/downloads/punkbuster_files_for_battlefield_4_open_beta.rar , and extract it to C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Battlefield 4 Beta\ folder. Now you should have those files "manually installed" that punkbuster couldn't update for reason or two.

Connection behind NAT

UPDATE 04.11.2013

This is the reason why i got disconnected time after time after time after... My connection is behind NAT and my computer doesn't get own public IP address, and for some reason NAT blocks some of the traffic that Battlefield 4 server tries to send to my computer. So here are the ports that Battlefield 4 is using on PC, PS3 and Xbox 360.

If you are playing on PC, please enable the following online ports on your connection:
TCP: 80, 443, 9988, 20000-20100, 22990, 17502, 42127
UDP: 3659, 14000-14016, 22990-23006, 25200-25300

If you are playing on PS3, please enable the following online ports on your connection:
TCP: 80, 443, 9988, 10000-10100, 17502, 42127
UDP: 3659, 14000-14016

If you are playing on Xbox 360, please enable the following online ports on your connection:
TCP: 53, 88, 3074
UDP: 53, 88, 3074

If you don't know how to do port forwarding's, i can only say one thing. Go here - http://portforward.com/english/routers/port_forwarding/routerindex.htm . Portforward.com list's a lot of routers and tutorials how to do forwarding's.

Smart Port Forwarding

This is worth of try. Download this small application called "Smart Port Forwarding" by clicking this. Extract and install this application and start it by right clicking it and select Run As Administrator.

1. Right click SPF -application and select Add New Forwarding Port.

2. Add TCP listen on port 3659 to your local ip and port 80. Do the same thing and select UDP port. Check that both forwarding's are in "Running: Yes" -state. Remember to check what your local ip is! In this image my local ip is 192.168.1.5. You have to go to command prompt (cmd -> ipconfig) or check your ip from network connections -> Local area connection.

If anything above didn't help

Throw your NAT away and change your connection to Bridged only. You will lose your LAN, but this is one way to check if your router is causing your disconnects. I didn't have need for LAN at the moment, so i changed to bridged mode and all problems disappeared.

FPS drops / lag / stutter

One thing that is worth of try is to create new file called user.cfg and copy all content below to that file.

GameTime.MaxVariableFps 60
PerfOverlay.DrawFps 1
PostProcess.DynamicAOEnable 0
RenderDevice.Dx11Enable 0
RenderDevice.ForceRenderAheadLimit 1
RenderDevice.TripleBufferingEnable 0
WorldRender.DxDeferredCsPathEnable 0
WorldRender.FxaaEnable 0
WorldRender.MotionBlurEnable 0
WorldRender.SpotLightShadowmapEnable 0
WorldRender.SpotLightShadowmapResolution 256
WorldRender.TransparencyShadowmapsEnable 0

Save file to BF4 root folder C:\Prog1ram Files (x86)\Origin Games\Battlefield 4 Beta\

RESTRICTION: Corrupted File/Memory [81495]

1. Press Ctrl + Alt + Del to get to the Task Manager. Open Services tab. Locate PnkBstrB service and as you can see, it's in stopped state. Right mouse click that and press Start Service. See if your problem is gone, if it's not, continue to next step.

Windows Task Manager punkbuster services

2. Locate Battlefield 4 folder C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Battlefield 4 Beta\ and right mouse click pbsvc.exe and click Run as Administrator. Hit Test Services.

3. You should see that test is running.

4. If you have any kind of errors here, please go to step 1 and Install/Reinstall Punkbuster service, and after that go again to Task Manager -> Services and start Punkbuster services if those are in Stopped state.

Punkbuster - Services test completed without errors

There Is No Disk in the Drive -error

If you are experiencing this problem, here is one solution.

1. Open Windows registry editor. It's quickest if you write regedit to start menu's search and hit enter.

2. Locate HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\ControlWindows\ and open ErrorMode and change value to 2. Try to play now. If it doesn't work, reboot your system and try again.

Windows registry editor change error mode to 2

If you have any questions or you have another problems and solutions for them, please write a comment and let's continue there.

Bamse - 9 years ago

Ever since I bought the game a few days ago I get an error variation not mentioned in your guide. I can't access any of the online portions of the game (not even test range!). After it tries to log in from the battlelog in my browser, I get this error message at the bottom of the screen: "You were disconnected from EA Online [1]".There are only two ways I have managed to get around this problem: Use a VPN service OR completely disable the firewall in my router. Without changing anything else it then logs in to any BF4 server without problem. Although, VPN is of course too slow for playing and a completely disabled firewall not an acceptable solution security wise.Opening all the TCP and UDP ports mentioned here for outgoing traffic seems like it's somehow not enough.Do you have any suggestions on what I could try?In any case, thanks for producing such a thorough guide!

Wiretuts - 9 years ago

Can you try this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qh7ayrsynr0 and tell me if it works. I'm currently making small improvements to upcoming site layout, and after that i will update this article and add new tips and tricks.

Bamse - 9 years ago

Thanks, but I'm sorry to report that none of those tricks helped in my case. As it works instantly by switching on a VPN service (Hide My Ass) I find it difficult to believe this would be any sort of Windows settings issue.I visited the punkbuster website and found mentiones of UDP ports 27890 and 24300-24399, so I opened those as well. Still no dice I'm afraid. Not that I've seen any error message especially about punkbuster to begin with.If I understand my router/firewall correctly, disabling the Firewall completely is essentially the same as opening ALL TCP/UDP ports? As that makes it work there must be some ports that still need to be opened for this to work.The question is how to find out which ones? I've tried monitoring outgoing traffic with a ports scanner application, but so far I haven't managed to detect any new and unusual ports when BF attempts to login.This issue is most perplexing and, as a sidenote, I've seen quite a few people on the EA help forums mention that they used to be able to play just fine, but after one of the more recent updates they get the same error I am seeing.

hi, only problem on PC is, after 20-30 minuets of game play BF4 will crash out to BL with the Error Could not join server, even though i have just been playing on that server for 20-30 minuets. any idea what it might be?

RR1188 - 9 years ago

I am having the same problem. Did everything the admin suggested above except changing to 'bridged' mode (cause I don't want to lose my LAN). This only happened after I updated the game to the most recent version (Dec. 20)

Hayden Livingstone - 9 years ago

Had problems with battlelog not recognising that i had in fact updated the plugin. Now that it's all sorted out i've run into an issue where, even when i update bf4, it says that i haven't on battlelog. If i'm having this many problems before i can even open the game, i am worried as hell about actually playing...

Any idea as to how I can get to the video adjustment area in BF4's options menu? My area is grayed out and I get a message that this is not available on 32-bit systems, but I am running BF 4 on a 64-bit windows 7 system. Spent hours on chat with EA (non) help, but could not resolve the issue.

Kim - 9 years ago

I just bought a new graphic card GeForce GTX 770 and now I can't join any server. Says joining server but nothing happens, can't even start the campaign.
Have update the drivers, reinstalled the plug. No idea what to do next.
Was able to play just fine before with my GeForce GTX 570.
Would be awesome if someone could help me out.
Thanks

Problem solved with an re-installation of Battlefield 4.

Ahmed Etman - 9 years ago

I am having this problem tried every single thing on the internet and still getting it

Wiretuts - 9 years ago

There has been couple of solutions for this. One is to underclock slightly your card with software. Second is to remove drivers completely with Driver Cleaner and install latest beta drivers.

Bohlareon - 9 years ago

Hi Wiretuts, great article and a great source to put it all together. Here is an issue I don't see on there yet but have seen it pop up with not only me, but a few other folks as well.Over the past weekend I bought two copies of Battlefield 4, one for me, one for my wife (I took advantage of it being ridiculously cheap on Origin for Black Friday). We have it installed on each of our respective PCs. It downloaded fine and plays fine on both, except when we join on each other on the same server. If I jump on a server, and she tries to join on me, she gets:"ERROR Game disconnected: your connection to the server timed out."I thought this was odd. I hopped out of the server and she tried joining it again and got in without an issue. When I tried to join in on her, I get the same error. I tried to join a different server and I got in just fine, and she continued to play on the other server just fine.When I get home from work I'm going to mess around more with what you provided under the
"Connection behind NAT" section you talk about. NAT makes the most sense out of anything I've seen that could be causing multiple computers on my network to not be able to join the same server.Besides what I will try above, do you have any other thoughts or opinions as to what the problem is? Thanks for your time!
Ryan

Wiretuts - 9 years ago

Let's do this test first. On both computers go to http://ifconfig.me/ and check what IP address it will give on both computers. You don't have to write that IP here, just tell me if it is same or different.

Bohlareon - 9 years ago

Thanks for the quick reply, I'll be getting home in a few hours from work and I'll post my results. Thanks again!

Bohlareon - 9 years ago

Hi again Jamie,Yep! With what you had in your article and by going to that site, I've confirmed all of my wired PCs are definitely all the same IP address to the outside world. Now I will have to figure out a way to disable NAT on my router. Excellent, thanks for your help! Hopefully this resolves the issue!On a side note, Battlefield nowadays is the only game series I play that gives me network problems, Guild Wars 2, any of the multitude of Steam Games, none of this ever happens.Thanks again!

Wiretuts - 9 years ago

Yep, one option is to change your connection to bridged. Remember that often ISP offers X amount of public IP addresses (in my case 5) and if you have lot of devices connected to router, then lastly connected can't get IP:s. Second thing that you have to know is that when all your devices has public IP addresses, then all port scans, attacks etc. comes directly to your PC, so be sure that you are using some kind of internet security application to protect your PC.

Bohlareon - 9 years ago

Thanks for the heads up, unfortunately having a hard time figuring this out. Router is Medialink MWN-WAPR300N. All of it's settings and advanced settings don't have anything for disabling the NAT or going into Bridge mode. I wrote a question on Amazon under the product and also submitted a question to their support staff so we'll see how it goes. Firmware update might fix it but it already looks up to date with what's on there. Thanks again!

Bohlareon - 9 years ago

I wish I had some log files I could actually sift through to see what the ACTUAL conflict is. With what we've talked about, I'm almost certain the NAT, the fact all of my PCs are broadcasting the same IP address is what is causing the problem. I received a reply back from Medialink:"Well, I don't believe disabling NAT will help with this actually. The NAT is useful for all devices on the network, and the issue isn't with that but rather that each device you are gaming from is designed to use the same ports through the router's firewall, and the two streams are colliding.
What you'll need in order to game simultaneously like this from two devices on the same network is a router that supports port triggering, which your Medialink does not. As far as I know the device's can't be configured to use different ports, but it's maybe worth a look at some Battlefield forums in case anyone has come across a hot fix.
You could try bypassing the firewall entirely as a test to see if that helps, or connect one device to your router and one directly to your modem if your modem is a gateway/combo device. I'm not positive that would get around this limitation, but it might.
Sorry I can't help further, but I hope this is useful info!"I also have a D-Link DGL-4100 4-Port GamerLounge Broadband Gigabit Gaming Router that's not being used. I could hook that up to my Modem and put the Wireless Router as another connection to that Wired Router. This way I can check what NAT configurations are available and/or the port triggering mentioned from Medialink.Your thoughts?

iEclipse - 9 years ago

I've got a strange problem that only seems to happen on one particular server (one that I happen to like a lot). For most of my servers, the blue bar appears and the bottom with "Joining Server" and the server name right below it. For this particular server, however, I only see the blue bar without a name or "Joining Server" like this: http://scr.hu/0tid/t3e8n
After a minute or so of loading, the game just closes after saying that I can't connect.

Tomax - 9 years ago

I have the same problem but on every server. The game in campaign mode has no problem, but each time I try to join a multiplayer server, the map is loading, and I get connected on the server for 30 sec then it shut down.
My computer is a new one windows 8 last ROG laptop computer, with Nvidia Geforce 670MX GTX and I did all you say in your 03/12/13 update, using punkbuster and Smart port Forwarding.
Hope you will find a solution for me, Thx

Wiretuts - 9 years ago

I had this exact same problem when my connection was behind NAT. I made all port forwarding tricks but still every now and then it did that. I got annoyed by it and changed my connection to straight bridged and all those problems went away. I need to investigate more that if there is still some ports that have to be forwarded.

Tomax - 9 years ago

I'm not really aware of what NAT is, can you explain it to me?
Considering the port thing, I just did the 3659 thing on Smart port Forwarding, is there something else to do, open more port? Or do I need to change connection? I'm gonna have the optical fiber soon so it could be better? No more issue?

Wiretuts - 9 years ago

I made this simple image. If your router is set to bridged, then all your devices will get public IP to internet. If i ping 88.212.88.1, that ping would go all the way straight to that PC. So i have straight bridged connection between.If router is set to NAT. Then only your router will get public ip, and if i ping again that same IP it would stop to that router. When those PC:s surf on internet, they all would have same public ip 88.212.88.1.If router is good, there is always firewall and all kind of attack blocks. Router won't let that kind of traffic through to your devices. But there is times when it blocks traffic that is acceptable. Then you have to connect to your router with browser. Router IP is something like 192.168.1.1 or 2.1 or 11.1, it depends what model you have. There should be settings to "port forwarding". You have to add there port forwarding rules.Lets say that your router is set to NAT, and your local IP is 192.168.1.2. Then you have to make rules that "If internet sends traffic on port 21222, 21515, 515...... you can route that kind of traffic to my computer on ip 192.168.1.2" and it doesn't block it anymore.If you don't know what to do. Install Team Viewer application and open that app and it will give your ID and password. Send those to me through Skype or to email, and i can remotely check your settings.

Tomax - 9 years ago

Cool, but my ip is 198.168.1.5. So I will open all ports. When you say port "20000-20100" You mean create 100 forwarding port manually? from 20000 to 20100?
I tried to open those ports, just has before it works 30 sec and then the blue bar says "LEAVIN LEVEL" and this message appears on battlelog :
NO CONNECTIONBattlelog could not find an active game. Please make sure you are connected to the same local network or try the troubleshooting guide

Wiretuts - 9 years ago

There should be option that you can open all ports between 20000 - 20100. So only one forwarding rule that opens all ports between.

Tomax - 9 years ago

I don't find this option on the software and no tip on the internet. If you have one...

Wiretuts - 9 years ago

Can you tell me your modem/router exact model?

Tomax - 9 years ago

It's a French internet provider, bouygues telecom, modem called "bbox" you can check on their website.

Tomax - 9 years ago

I finally find what was my problem, it was about punkbuster here is the link where to find the answer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qh7ayrsynr0

Tomax - 9 years ago

I didn't find that option on any suport or forum, if I have to create a rule, then I don't know how to do. I try to play with an eternet cable from the box to my computer and the problem still happen, does it mean anything?
Thx for your time dude

Every time I starts my game, at first stage only the map appears rest becomes white and no proper graphics

Sounds like graphic driver issue to me. What graphics card do you have?

Hi, I bought Battlefield 4 today. I got through the installation of the first disk without error. Once I inserted the second disk I found that it didn't read the disk at all on my pc, the same with my third disk once inserted. I tried your "no disk in drive" solution but my pc still won't see the 2nd and third disk. Do you have any other suggestions? It reads the first disk just fine.

Jamie, you are doing a bang up job mate. Thank you for posting the Ports that Battlefield 4 uses.I do have one question which does not appear to be covered by your post except for "Error Game Disconnected". I can play for usually around 5 Minutes before being booted from the Server and give the message; "Error You Were disconnected from EA Online (1)"I've tried a number of things including turning off firewalls and anti-virus, written exceptions into them as well for BF4. I've also changed Channels on my Router in an attempt to improve my connection in the hopes that that was it but to no effect.This evening I'll be forwarding all the ports you have listed but is this the solution to that particular problem? Or is it a product of Battlefield's Release State?

Wiretuts - 9 years ago

Thanks mate! I updated this article one minute ago and added one little trick that you can try. Check new section "Smart Port Forwarding". One thing to mention is, that new patch just came live, and it will fix lot's and lot's of bugs.

My computer just can't detect Battlefield 4's Disc 2. My computer can detect Discs 1 & 3 just fine. I have tried inserting Disc 2 into my old laptop and it can detect it just fine. I don't know why this is happening! I know that I can just download the game through Origin but my internet speed isn't that great. Please help me

LaughableCheesecake - 9 years ago

You need to update your drivers, or make sure they are enabled. If you have two, disable one and use your preferred other. I hope this helped, as this helped me. :D
