go to /Electronic Arts\Battlefield 4\__Installer\vc\vc2012Updates\redist and reinstall vcredist_X64 if you have a 64bits pc or vcredist_86 is you dont. It fixes it for me

I'm not too sure but try a Repair Install.

Go to origin client, select the "My games" tab, right click on battlefield 4 and then select "repair install".

I had the same issue. I decided to change the game run options in origin after the recent patch. I selected it to only run the 64bit application. This is when I encountered the problem. I switched the game properties back to present all options and I was able to access the game successfully again.

Hope this helps;

I can't figure this out? I cant find it? Is there a direct link?

* Open your BF4 folder (normally C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Battlefield 4)
* In the BF4 folder navigate into _Installer\VC\vc2012Update3\redist

Run vcredist_x86.exe and vcredist_x64.exe

Invalid License - missing dll dxgi.dll
msvcp100.dll
msvcp120.dll

Ok, here is what I did, took only 2 days.


1) msvcp100.dll + msvcp120.dll -> I had to install Microsoft Visual C++ 2010, 2012, 2013, 2015 in order to make the error go away. Please install x86 and x64 Versions of all the C++ redistributions. I read in another thread that only installing one version might not be enough. I do have 2005 and 2008 C++ redistributions too, but I don't think they are needed.

Then, the Invalid license - missing dll error appeared.

2) I copied dxgi.dll into the Origin folder, NOT the Origin Games folder! The computer finally found the missing file.

3) Other things: I have copies of msvcp100.dll and msvcp120.dll in folders: Windows/System32 , and in folder Windows/SysWOW64
I don't know if that makes any difference. Eventually, point 2) was the solution that worked. You might want to copy these files into these folders anyway. Just to rule out another source of error.

4) Finally, after point 2), another error message pop up, this time complaining about the old driver of my Geforce Graphics card ( I had 330.x, suggested was 340.95 I think. I click the message away, and the game started running.

5) In the origin launcher, right click on Battlefield 4, choose Game Settings and select the x64 Version. (for 64bit systems)

I installed Windows Vista on my SSD, so no Visual C++ redistributions were installed, since it was a fresh install. Hope this helps, these errors really were annoying.
