As other users have stated, you'll need to install punkbuster using protontricks to prevent being kicked from MP. My method was almost exactly like Yagato's without using the terminal. Steps below so you don't have to scroll down all the way.
Steps: Download pbsetup.zip (WINDOWS version) (https://evenbalance.com/pbsetup.php) Extract pbsetup.exe Download/install protontricks if you don't already have it Right click pbsetup.exe and select "open with protontricks." The PBSetup page should open up, click "add a game" Select Battlefield 4
Once the process is complete simply start BF4 from steam like any other game and enjoy.
Low performance / stutters when compared to windows on the same PC.

With the launch options, performance is much improved than without. Much closer to windows now.
This is my 2nd post on here for Squad and it's good news. Thanks to the advice others in this thread, I've identified launch options that improve performance for me.
In the game options, set DLSS to on, set DLSS mode to Quality, Balanced or Performance. Also in the options, set "Prioritize Scope AA" as "Prioritize Scope Clarity" will disable DLSS.
With this configuration, the game runs SIGNIFICANTLY better than before and is actually playable. Credit to Paradox and John Persona 4 below.
