"We will continue working until the product is actually in what could be considered a finished state. Honestly, we are kind of surprised. We thought the DLC methodology we have implemented in the BF series so far made it crystal clear that we ship the product piece by piece, and expected you to wait for the next DLC to fix all problems. Oh yeah, I don't mean China Rising btw. The next one."
The thing that's getting overlooked is DICE most likely has a very different opinion on what it means to get this game "fixed" than the majority of fans. They're going to get things like the major crash issues and corrupt save files ironed out and pat themselves on the back for a job well done. Meanwhile they'll spend next year and a half constantly re-balancing the guns and pushing out DLC while all of the other bugs like the sound issues go unresolved, just like they did with BF3.
Is the Xbox One version crashing to the UI like the PS4 version does?
B-but Battlefront 3... ;_;
Lol I had a guy rant on a server today about how the netcode problem was bullshit. He demand people define netcode for him, then got mad when no one would. He then said we all crash because we have shitty computers, I would have responded but My shitty computer crashed after that. :/Originally Posted by Vigilant Walrus
Is the netcode really as bad as some people say? Worse than BF3?
Actually charging $110 if you want the real BF experience and if your a sucker like me.I'm thinking about returning this game. Multiplayer had it's fair share of issues and my single player save was corrupted halfway through. I gave up. This was the first and last BF game I'll buy as long as it's developed by DICE.
Frankly, I think there should be some sort of legal action against EA and DICE. This isn't a one off hiccup, this is a pattern of releasing games that are simply unplayable and charging people $60 for what is essentially a glorified beta.
Can you get a refund on origin for the PC?
Dice should give us a 1080p patch for the PS4 and a 900p patch for the Xbox One. It could and should be done. All current problems should obviously be fixed first.
Too late. Sold it to best buy for 40 bucks and bought killzone instead. Hugely disappointed in ea and dice. This was my attempt to return to the bf series and they lost a customer for this game and likely future bf games as well.
What a fucking disaster. Totally embarrassing.
Just fix this shit so that you can move on to making Battlfront...

You think battlefront won't face these issues? All the previous battlefield games have had shit like this. But this time it's just worse.What a fucking disaster. Totally embarrassing.

EA is the problem. And, IMO, Dice is working on too many things at once.
If anything, they will delay Mirror's Edge 2. You guys who think they will prioritize that over Battlefront 3, a game that will sell an order of magnitude better, are lunatics.
Regardless, real lunatics are those who will be preordering EA games in the future after getting absolutely torched on this game. I've been buying EA games since 1986, and this is the worst crap I have ever seen. This includes Ultima Ascension (1999/2000 or so), a game so bad they had to ship new CDs to all the owners because the game ran so poorly. But at least it kind of worked.
BF4 isn't just borderline theft, it is theft. EA really needs to compensate people, or they are going to get sued.

Dice are such good guys, always thinking of the consumer first (lol)
that sounds like a lot of bullshit, if you ask me. Surely they won't stop every employee from working on other projects, because you don't need game designers, artists and lots of other people to fix bugs in bf4.
Too many issue to ignore, and there should be real repercussions for EA/DICE. Unacceptable.
In my opinion, DICE is a worst developer at the moment.
I'm a huge battlefield fan but the day when they announce battlefield 5, I'll be the first person who completely ignores it.

QA might not sign off on a release and it might still be released.Industry really needs some type of independent QA laws or something for a baseline for craftsmanship. This fucking shit is despicable.
Let me tell a story about a few years back to give some impressions how this works.
I work in a company making some software millions of people use daily. This particular version had a fixed release date due to a PR stunt event in the hometown of one of our competitors.
QA tested the release candidate for the release on that date and _rejected_ it for release, it was too damn buggy. Management overruled them and we still released. Both QA and us developers were embarrassed about it. We did eventually fix the issues in follow-up patch releases, but it still left a bad taste in our mouths.
So blaming QA here is likely pointing the finger in the wrong direction. This is almost certainly a management decision, triggered by a fixed release date.
