This is not my hardware. OR me.
During a great game on dozens of occasions over the months, my game screen halfway through a game turns into a screenbox with a typing text line along the top of the screen.
It isn`t me that brings it up.
Someone told me they think its the Battlelog screen?
But I CANNOT GET RID OF IT.
I play left-handed.
Mouse only Left-hand.
Right hand ONLY ONLY on the number keypad.
Nowhere else.
The number keypad has 17 keys of which I use 16 (I do not use the NumLock key).
I do not press Tilde~
Backspace and pressing Enter does NOTHING
Pressing `H` does nothing.
Text appears along the top of the box onscreen; as the game flashes and there is a small icon of a BF4 soldier in a frame. Other than that a blank screen.
I can get rid of it for a second; but when I press my movement buttins again (8, 4, 6, 5 etc) the Battlelog? typing along text box appears and the game screen goes away./ I have to literally pull the plug out of the PC to get it back to normal after a re-boot.
IT IS KILLING THE GAME DFOR ME.
IT IS VERY STRESSFUL.
Rig
i7 Haswell 4770, Samsung SSD Pro (1Tb games drive), iChiLL GTX 780, 16Gb 1866 XPG Ram, Big Zalman cooler. 1080p Asus 120Hz 3D monitor.
Windows 8.1 Pro.
All updated.
Bios/Chipset all updated.
No other game has any problems.
What can I do as it is killing any joy there is in the game and RUINING my game statistics; and I get left in a rut onscreen. BLIND. UNABLE TO FREAKING MOVE.
CRUSHED.
Should I ask for a refund and get Arma 3 instead?

Hi, could you post a screenshot to show exactly what this thing that pops up looks like?
It's not Origin-in-game that you're describing, is it?
Did yout try just disabling Origin-in-game in case it is?
-Disable Origin in game.
In Origin - Application settings - Origin in Game - disable Origin in game
Again, a screenshot would help make sense of this prob.

So when I try and post a screenshot I get the following message;-
"Message cannot exceed 20,000 characters."
Its just a screenshot (that I even tried to shrink a few times).
I am quite certain it is not Origin....but how would I know; there is no name. Just a black screen. A red Header strip with the word "Battlefield 4" in it on the right, and on the left a small icon of the head of a BF4 soldier in a small square frame.
Above that is the typing that appears in a long thin text box, with a green arrow in a black box on the right of it.
Every time I try and backspace to get rid of the text, it goes, and then I presss enter to try and get rid of it; then I can click the game screen and the game appears, but then when I press my movement buttons I flash out of the game and into the textbox screen.
ITs very vbery annoying in the extreme sometimes. It only happens occasionally over the months. About every third time I play the game.
Sometimes I can paly for two hours with no problem.... but then it happens a dozen times in an hour and I have to pull the PC plug out of the wall its so annoying.

It looks like a lot of detail is kept secret.
I took a `wild Guess` and did this one;-
`Direct Link (email & IM)`
Which is this;-

But got this message appear from ea;-
"Your post has been changed because invalid HTML was found in the message body. The invalid HTML has been removed. Please review the message and submit the message when you are satisfied."
So I tried this one;-
Link (email & IM)
And got this again:-
"Your post has been changed because invalid HTML was found in the message body. The invalid HTML has been removed. Please review the message and submit the message when you are satisfied."
So I will try this one(even if it does not begin with "http:";-

BBCode (message boards & forums)
And got this again:-
"Your post has been changed because invalid HTML was found in the message body. The invalid HTML has been removed. Please review the message and submit the message when you are satisfied."
Could somebody uncover the secret magic of posting an image?
Last try this time around;-

And got this again:-

Sreenshots in the aforementioned links I think.
P.S.
It is nice if clues are given on how to do the screenshot into this program.

I didn`t have a web hosting service to provide such a link to an image.
I got an account to do that now.
The image is there; as previously described, using words.

Bump; or are my efforts to comply with part-answerers in vain?
