There's a nasty bug for BF4 affecting a lot of people right now, which causes the game to crash and loop the intro-sound when attempting to join a game.

DICE has said they're working on a fix, but in the meanwhile, are there any known workarounds?

  • personally I don't think there is any workaround. Otherwise it would be posted somewhere by now

  • Any known workaround would be all over the forums and various gaming news sites, so it's safe to assume not.

  • There is a patch which will be released by the time this bounty expires.

Looks like they released a patch for this issue literally minutes after I created the bounty.

Sigh.

  • Works for me as well. Played Metro for the first time sans crash last night.

Looks like they released a patch for this issue literally minutes after you created the bounty.

That being said, the patch is causing further problems causing this to crash too. You can fix this manually before waiting for a patch by:

  1. Go into your game directory (dir:\Program files(x86)\Origin Games\Battlefield 4)
  2. If you have a “user.cfg” file, open it in notepad.
  3. Delete the command line “UI.DrawEnable 1”
  4. Save the file
  5. Start the game
