Problems bf4 install

★★ Novice

Hey guys,

 

for some reasons I cannot install BF4 on my PC. I put in the CD's, and for some reason it gives disk read errors. when i try to download the game, i get the infamous jump to 20%, then 28% then 34% and it stops at 40%. sometimes i get the DX error.  when i try to reinstall it just happens again. i tried to uninstall BF3, everything associated with origin, and run from the start, no fix. i tried moving the DX files as shown in another post, no fix. can anyone help? getting really frustrated now, downloaded it like 3 times, 4th time downloading now. 

 

its really annoying, since i payed good money to get this game, and all it gives me at the moment, are headaches Frown

Please check the version of Origin installed on your PC. A version later than 3.x is required.


To rectify:

  1. Try to run the client as administrator.
  2. Go to www.origin.com/download
  3. Download and install the latest version of Origin (and make sure you have your Origin account ready as well)
  4. Then add Origin into windows firewall and anti-virus software's white list, direct to folder C:\Program Files\Origin Games
  5. Make BF4 folder writeable

If that doesn't help, you can try to use the Cloud storage function from Origin or reinstall the origin client and install the latest version as mentioned in point 2.

 

If you running on a Windows 7 64bit system, you can try to run the Client under the Windows 7 compatibility mode. The Windows 7 compatibility mode is running as x86, and helped in a few cases to solve this issue.

 

Please let us now, if this problem after this workaround still exist.

 

Cheers

Origin is already running as admin, Origin version 9.3.10.4710. after last reinstall i did an update it said that was necessary. should be full up to date. 

im running 64bit win7, so i'm running origin through compatibility mode,

 

I'll give it a shot, still need to download a good part of it, still takes 2.30 hours to download ;(  

 

if this workaround helps, i will sure post it here to help guys with the same problems Standard smile

after some nosing around i found the solution was in the registers. what i did was add a line, to fake the install for origin. then did an repair install, and some how i got it working! playing the campaign for a few minutes, got a directx error, most likely to do with outdated driver software. installing the new software as we speak, now lets see...
