I'm hoping it is and it gets ironed out. Too many times Ive died before I accepted or denied a rez when a teammate revived me next to a live grenade. When I play assault, i always make sure its safe to rez and properly charge my paddles and/or throw a pack out right after. Some people just spam it for points even though peeps keep dying.

Battlefield 4 PS4 multiplayer issues
- Thread starter MThanded
- Start date
When the fuck are they going to fix this game? Just crashed on Zavod 311 (easily the best map in the game) and I was on a spree. I'm getting at least 3-5 crashes a day and I'm avoiding the insta-crashes like Floodzone, Locker and Shanghai. I thought Zavod was a non-crash map but clearly DICE proved me wrong.
Unbelievable, how can the game be out since 31st October, EA 'halting' progress on everything except BF4 issues and the game still be unplayable?!

Just leave conquest alone, it alqays crashes
Now we know why ea/dice never showed 64player conquest on consoles pre-release
Lied about the product, and sold it anyway
They knew months ago, they sold a faulty product, and palmed us off with double xp and and pistol scope
Also i cant even use my pre-order bonus china rising, since i have to have premium, yet another mis-sold product

Was fine for 8 or so games when I got it, 3 crashes in the last 4 games. EA and DICE are thieves.
Free DLC or I'll be buying BF5 second-hand tbh

I play primarily as recon and have like 1500 SPM. Not that hard getting a ton of points with the class.1) Dont play as an sniper.
2) fixed squad to play with or at least and squad going after capture points in Conquest.
3) Dont focus on kills focus on grabbing and losing flags !!!!
Yep
constantly spot
Pld vehicles
Spawn beacon sensibility
Tug in useful areas, not your sniping hill 400m away
Etc etc
I have experienced very little of the issues others have, apart from the audio taking awhile to kick in sometimes and some rubber banding it's been pretty solid.
Play mostly Rush and only had the above problems as many times as I could count on one hand.
Conquest I have had two crashes to OS and some slowdown.
Still needs sorted, especially for those running into lots of problems.

I had this issue too, gave my ps4 a static IP via my router, put it on the DMZ zone and now I went from not able to play to every server working since. Strangly BF4 is the only game I couldn't connect to server on.

Why did I pay $224 for A50s to play a game that doesn't have sound half the time? Oh. I'm an idiot apparently. Seriously, for a game that DICE goes all out to make it sound amazing, you would think that a priority would be placed on getting it to you know, work.

So not a multiplayer problem (although I've had plenty of those), but my single player game crashed again yesterday, wiping all progress. Saved game gone. Not going through it a 4th time DICE. Bravo
You just need to wait for next week I think it is.

I still don't even know if I'm getting China Rising. I'm assuming no. I bought the game during launch week on Xbox One, because there was no way to pre-order the digital version.
EDIT: Somehow I completely missed the "PS4" in the thread title, and assumed it was just a general BF4 MP thread.

I'm pretty sure the "jamming" is from the long presses of R2. You have to release the trigger completely before you can fire another shot so when you press it quickly, the button doesn't release all the way. This is why I hope they add R1 as a firing option.
Really? I heard COD Ghosts runs flawlessly online on next-gen, no server issues or bugs or glitches whatsoever + an actual party system to play with friends. Of course the core game is shittier, but...even if BF4 was 100x better gameplay-wise than it is now I'd still feel uncomfortable giving EA my money under these circumstances.

I just played a handful of matches and I ran across another strange glitch where the screen stays black during the respawn menu....it still works and there is still sound but there is nothing on the screen so you cant see where you will be respawning.
Once you spawn everything seems fine.

so...I got BF4 and felt like taking off the plastic wrap off from the case and play it after so long...so...BF4-GAF is it safe to play campaign or not?? Also whats a good way to approach multiplayer without rage quitting over gltiches, etc.??

I have had it happen multiple times while using the m16 which has no auto fire mode.

Not a glitch, but what is the weird hazing effect for? At first I thought it was like a vertigo effect because I was on a skyscraper, but now it happens randomly when I'm on the ground. Is it a suppression effect? There's no other clues that I'm being suppressed if it is

I had an interesting problem yesterday. Tried to invite a friend into a game from Battlelog and the UI froze completely. The game was still running and I could hear things happening, but nothing but the PS button worked. Quit to the system dash, closed the game and went back in and found that none of my button presses were recognised still. Had to power off the PS4 to get it to work again. That it persisted across games suggests it was a system bug, but weird.
But I had one crash yesterday across ~6 hours of conquest and rush so I think it's getting better.

Not a single blue screen today, been playing tdm, conquest, domination and rush for 6 hours straight...
Signs are looking good.
Now fix the shitty sound drops and horrible hit detection.....oh and while youre at it keep the fucking yanks out of european servers (and vice versa)!

Just played for 3 hours and the only problem I had was the sound dropping, annoying as f. But hey, its still a lot more fun than Ghosts.

I had vehicle sounds and background noise drop earlier. Sounded pretty awesome just hearing gunfire, footsteps, team orders etc.
some people say if you fire the gun to fast it stops responding i cant figure it out now i just shoot slower, i tested out COD no issue there i can shoot as fast as i can press the trigger.
Also this game makes the dpad very sensitive i press down to change fire rate and it will pullout my grande launcher it seems to accept the buttons next the the dpad button you press. I tested this in the PS menu it does not do that and it any other game.
So I finally played it today online.
It took me a week to jump online because of the fkin useless customer service.
These guys are complete tools. Dealt with a guy "Archit" last week because it was not allowing me to sign into origin on my ps4. Apparently the email address and origin ID have to match. So I went into Customer service telling this idiot Archkt that I didnt want to create a new account. I wanted to tie my ps4 to my current origin acct. After some back and forth for 1.5 hrs archit got me to create a new acct. He then told me congratz.. I was like ok how do I merge this new account with the old one. This fool then tells me I have to call phone support for that.
Omg I haven't been that upset in a while.
So basically I was in the online chat for an hour and a half for litteraly NOTHING.
I asked him if I could changey origin ID of my old acct and change the new origin acct ID to my ps4 ID. He said sure, but I'll have to wait a week to do it. Because the ID can only change once ever 7 days....
I almost bashed my screen in.

Ok thanks for confirming that. I thought it might have been my sound system.

I've had the AKU-12 jam on me while in burst mode.
its really weird i tested a pistol at a wall i fired very fast then when i tried it on a enemy the gun just stops firing and continues after 1-2 seconds. Is this lag as in its firing just not showing the animation or is the gun just really not firing? by the way i do release the trigger all the way and it still wont respond.

the SP campaign is still disappearing, i don't even get errors it's just gone.
but I did find a way to play around this. get a USB stick drive and save after every successful chapter. don't use the Cloud saves either because it autosaves at times.

I can always tell when a commander joins the game. I get a hint of lag and the hear "commander online" and the game usually lags like a motherfucker. Probably because some asshole is sitting at Bojangles with their HSN tablet playing the game off their free wifi.

That;s the effect I was talking about. What's it for? What is it representing? What can I do to avoid it? What were DICE thinking?

It's a bug when one commander ECM jams another commander. It shouldn't affect players but right now it does. They're aware of it.
Heh, I've actually had quite a few working matches in 64 player Conquest, and I prefer several of the other modes over it. Always feel outgunned in some way, with an uncooperative team.
I like the more tightly based objective modes like Obliteration and Rush. I feel that teamwork comes more naturally, since objectives aren't spread way far apart.
I've also had an unexpected amount of fun playing Team Deathmatch (didn't care for it in BF3) and especially Squad Deathmatch.
It's a mechanic that's been in there since BF3.

Its weird cos it feels like it'd be a good representation of vertigo when on a skyscraper, or sparsity of oxygen when on a mountain
Any word of a mega-patch?
Is there definitely no chance of a proper party system being implemented?

Dice has no plans to make it easy on u to play with friends but there is a patch coming to take that damn blur shit out.
I feel like I crash in 64 player Conquest about 30% of the time. 100% of the time if it's Floodzone or Operation Locker. I guess I'll give Rush a try, I loved it in BC2.
