Hi ive just bought a copy of battlefield 4 (digital deluxe) when loading up the game in battlelog the game starts in a minimized window. When i click on this window the game comes up but navigating on the menu in the game is very hard and it lags. It takes between 1-2 minutes after clicking on it for the game to load to the next menu. Also when loading the campaign or multi-player the loading menu/ start screen lags ridiculously and i can't even start the campaign or multi-player, the game just gets stuck on the loading screens. It feels like im playing on a pc from 1994. Can someone help ?

you might find that you have antivirus scanning software that is providing full protection including scanning for mapped virtual files. When the software starts up it creates a file in memory but the scan software tries to scan the file as it is being built and causes a nasty lag.

I had this happen on my machine and found that the antivirus software was blocking a games anti hack software from running until it finished the scan. The games anti hack software is not on disk but only exists in a virutal memory mapped file so the antivirus software caused a several minute delay in the game from being loaded.

you can turn off you antivirus scanner and see if your game loads faster.

I would try what johnbl does. An alternative is to get a light weight anti virus program.
