Overview
when attempting to launch battlefield 4, you may be forced to use the web client(battlelog) to search for a server. this guide will help you return the games intended UI method of play
My method (100% success rate)
1. Close Battlefield 4
2. Open the Origin application
(if you can play battlefield at all you have it)
3. Click ‘Origin‘ in the top left of the application
4. Set it to Offline Mode
5. Launch Battlefield 4 from your desired launcher
6. Once the game loads up return origin to Online Mode
(follow steps 2 and 3 again essentially)
7. In battlefield hit “Go Online” and you should see everything load back up
Note: The success rate comes with the downside that this will be necessary each time you launch.
although unfortunate, at least it gives you a way to play the game like before this bug.
EA Suggested method (Not 100% success rate)
1. Open Origin
2. Right Click Battlefield 4
3. Go to Advanced Launch Options
4. Set “When launching this game” to x86
(x86 IS BattleLog only mode)
5. Fully close Origin from Tray or Task Manager
6. Re-launch Origin
7. Follow steps 2 through 4 and set the game to x64
(x64 is UI NON-BattleLog only mode)
8. Launch BattleField 4 and your game will work if you’re lucky
If this method does not work for you the other method in this guide has a 100% success rate so far
