Cannot deploy - nothing happens when I click "Deploy"
By Sarah Richards
I'm able to join games in BF4 and all that, I was just playing yesterday but today I can't spawn or deploy - what is causing this and how do I fix it?
When I am viewing the map and I click deploy - nothing happens, no load, no blank screen, no freeze, nothing - absolutely nothing happens.

Apparently it's part of a punkbuster problem.
Just run pbsetup and update your punkbuster to the new version.
For the people who don't know how to install or update.
- Download pbsetup from the official website.
- Run it's Installation and it will open a window.
- If your game is not there, click "ADD GAME" and choose your game and click UPDATE.
I've also experience the problem. In addition to what is described above, I've also experienced matches where my minimap icon would appear and I have the option to redeploy.
Some users have reported success with this fix:
3This seems to be an unexpected side-effect of the R20 patch. I found I had the same issue yesterday when I played Golmud Railway on Obliteration mode. Other players had issues on Locker and Siege of Shanghai. For me, I managed to deploy after waiting a few minutes. There's been mentions of a R21 patch being released today on the Battlefield 4 subreddit page.
This issue has now been fixed as part of the late Janurary patch.
