So I wanted to separate this out from the OT because I assume this is PS4 specific stuff.

Is it true there is only one available conquest server? I see a bunch of conquest servers with 0/64 players and only 1 that is joinable and constantly full.

What the hell is going on?

This is janky as hell.

Not sure if there is only one server, but I can almost never join a Conquest game and when I do, I am almost booted immediately from the server.

Yeah I can never get on conquest. The one time I was able to get on I was kicked about 40 seconds after. But when I played TD it was fine.

I've always expected rough BF launches but this one takes the cake. You can't even get into a game-and if you so complete one it errors out afterwards.

I can't even launch the game. I got kicked out of MP with an error and now everytime I try to load the game it spits out the error. This is the second time this has happened to me, the first time I deleted the install and reinstalled the game to fix but I think I'm just gonna play something else and wait for a patch this time.

Well... If it makes you feel better it lost my SP save. On the plus side, I was only about 10 mins in.

This pissed me off. Tried playing yesterday when i had free time and all servers were empty. Couldn't do quick match either. Funnily enough, I joined one of the empty servers and could actually ru around. 5 minutes later there was 3 of us in the server. Then i gave up and quit.

It's weird. I thought so too. Try hitting R3 and putting a player filter on: E.G. 1-5, and you'll see a ton of almost full matches. Granted you'll have tons of issues trying to get into most of those matches, but you can. I also find myself wondering what ports to open for ps4, NAT-wise...

Edit: And the hells with that "There are not enough commander slots" Crap?

But i only see one open 64 player match. The rest are 20 player matches.

I don't have BF4, but I did download Blacklight and noticed the same thing. I haven't been able to get into a game. Like you I was interested in checking it out. It would have actually been the first game I played if it had worked last night.

Is Warframe OK or is experiencing the same issue?

BF3 on PC didn't do a good job at this either. I think you can switch teams from one of the menus if the player difference allows it.

How was online BF4 on PC anyway? I got the general impression it was glitchy as hell as well. And aren't the pc servers also crapping since the ps4 launch?

Edit: Weird. Just clicked on a 64/64 conquest server and got in...

That's what we've been doing. It's so dumb- especially when we're still in party chat. 90% of the time the teams are full. Urghhhhh

Here's my issues with the PS4
  • Inviting someone through a game causes my PS4 to lockup. The game continues to run and I can see it in the background of the pause screen, but I can't back out of the pause screen. Only thing that fixes it is to restart the PS4.
  • BF4 keeps corrupting my save file. I mean, I know the campaign is shit, so it's doing me a favor with that, but resetting my buttons and stuff is getting tiresome. (Seriously, the campaign is awful)
  • Can't join a server through the server browser if it has more than 30 people in it. Pushing X says "No Commander seats available." Pushing Square says "You must be level 10 to be Commander" or something.
  • Games constantly crashing. Error reports being sent.
  • Streaming the game to Twitch has no audio, streams are silent but running smoothly.
  • Server browsing is never consistent with results.
  • Get a lot of "Connection to server failed" messages when trying to join games through the server browser

Ive hard lockups and crashed galore. And still have yet to finish a conquest game. Like others have said, If you manage to get in you are always booted a short time into the game.

So is my connection busted? I see a bunch of 0/#ofplayer games for each mode.

Filtering helps but usually i see a bunch of full servers.

Doubtful considering the PC version has been a mess for weeks now.

Problems with the PS4 version was expected.

No, exactly what I'm seeing. And that 64/64 conquest server only had 8 people. Got a few kills then connection was lost.

Warframe is working very well. Very seamless. Though the load times are atrocious.
