Battlefield 4 PS4 multiplayer issues
- Thread starter MThanded

Ha, yes. Quite common. Check your cloud saves, that's worked for me.
I get tons.
There's a network smoothing thing you can toggle in the options. I remember that working on the PC version of BF3, but I haven't had as much luck here. It's supposed to reduce animation priority to more accurately represent what is actually happening in the match. So you might get more people gliding around, but they'll appear where they actually are.

This happens occasionally. Switching servers usually helps when it happens to me.
Xbox Eu servers also 1 bar for ping and I'm in the UK too and US all 4 bars

I am stuck on the first loading screen .First time this happens,anyone else ?Restarted the game,no luck .PS4
Had this happen to me yesterday too. All servers had 1 bar, was only for a brief moment though, was also at the time where my ISP reset the connection, after that everything was smooth. Played for 4h, no crash or other annoyances
Had this twice, first time after chapter 6 on first play thru on hard, was gutted. Restarted and managed to complete on hard, then started trophy mop up. Loaded up today and again its gone, good job i have 1 campaign trophy left and its in Chapter 2.
Do a proper shutdown and power up restart game, i had that.

Not an issue at all but I wanted to post somewhere =P
I'm finally learning how to play an FPS in a console. BF4 is really really good, the gameplay reminds me of BFBC2 which I loved

Rush, really bad lag. Here's my double headshot:

This is getting out of hand tonight. You can see when the 2nd round hits his head it takes a second for the hit marker to register and points to pop up. SMH at this game.

Sweet. My single player save corrupted.
Well I guess I wont ever play that again.

Yeah I find this odd. I'm at about 100 hours played and I haven't had a crash in a week or two.
Did you manually upload your save to PS+?
I'm thinking about doing this after I save but I'm not sure whether it's deleted from the cloud as well.
How far were you though? My save just up and disappeared. Didn't even get a chance to say goodbye.
Also this just popped up on Battlelog right now:

Yeah, rubberbanding in CQ 64 has been pretty bad for me since right before Christmas, even on maps that were fairly smooth before. I think I'm just gonna stick with the 32 player modes for right now, until they sort their shit out on 64 CQ. So, Summer 2014, just in time for BF5 marketing to begin, I suppose.

Had the opportunity to buy ps3 LE version for $35 tonite - but Im gathering that the CR DLC won't transfer to ps4?
Going to pass on this.
Coupled with the other issues you are all mentioning on ps4, THANKS, myself and others appreciate the warning. Will hold off until issues are ironed out.

well the BF4 Premium is the only logical choice if you intend on playing the game hardcore
and with Premium the bundled China Rising is useless anyways.Good luck is all I can say.
Doesn't PS+ automatically update games, or do I need to do this manually? I've lost campaign saves twice now and my PS4 has crashed half a dozen times while playing. At this point I'm worried about it affecting my console, but it's just so damn good when it's working properly.
Are versions across other platforms just as bad? My son got a copy for the 360 for Christmas he hasn't opened yet that I'm just thinking of returning.
It should start a download when you turn your console on. The patch is like a week old already, give or take a few more days.
Even the official forums have died down on complaints as opposed to what it was prior to the latest patch. Crashes are rare and isolated issues now, most of the time post patch, if you crash, its a server crash, which is still rare and hasn't happened to me but has been reported.
Rubber banding is still a major issue for them though, this patch was for crashes and a certain revive bug.
Your single player saves are still at risk, that problem is not solved unless you upload your saves.
I however finished the campaign many weeks ago and still have the save, however my save is 100% so I'm unsure if that means anything.

Is there a noobs guide to battlefield 4 MP, for conquest?
I have played COD for most of my life but made the change to BF4 on PS4. I see a bunch of cool things happening, people in jets, with parachutes, in tanks etc. But I have no idea how to do it. I keep suiciding off buildings thinking I have a parachute and that it will deploy.

The official thread will be full of people who can give advice, for sure. http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=701461
But just to check off a couple:
1. Try out the "Test Range." You can practice flying/driving/shooting everything until you feel comfortable.
2. Parachutes: You do definitely have one. Hit X to deploy it (A for xbox). It takes a second to deploy, though, so if you're very close to the ground, it won't work.
3. In Conquest, you can always take a second on the deployment screen to just observe what people are doing. What objectives are they going after, are they pushing all at once for one, etc. You'll eventually get a feel for where you're most needed at any given time.
4. Try to work with your squad. If you see that your squad is sticking close together, going after objectives, etc, then stay with them if you can.

I'm pissed off at Test Range. Why is the weapon selection so limited? I don't care to try out 5 different versions of the same sniper rifle with different ammo. Why can I only test the US vehicles? I can fly every chopper 2 feet off the water, weave in between palms and pylons, drop lightly onto rooftops, etc., then I get into a heli in-game and it's a sluggish pig that crashes if I even look at a tree.
The troop heli needs a defensive buff. It should have either multiple or faster-regenerating counter-measures. I would like to use it in its proper role to ferry people to flags, but it's usually a short one-way trip. Also, pilots need to learn to fly parallel to danger so gunners can shoot.
Can't say I disagree with any of that! I think it's good mainly for getting a handle on the chopper/jet controls, but I do still occasionally crash into a building.

Couple times last night i unloaded a full clip into a enemy, didn't register at all. Really aggravating.
Bah! I just burned an XP boost thinking it would add to the double XP promised for today. But after the match, I find that they still haven't flipped the switch. Why does the calendar show the Premium event as unlocked? If someone could kindly bump this thread when the XP event is actually live, that'd be swell.
This is too true. Same thing with folks piloting boats. I love playing a gunner on either the heli or the boat, but the number of players who don't seem to grasp that their most dangerous hardpoints are on the side of their vehicles just baffles me.
I was in a heli the other night, trying to kill the heli that was shooting at us, and the pilot wouldn't turn in either direction, so neither of the gunners could target it. So frustrating. Fortunately I chuted out before the inevitable crash.
Good luck is the message. On PSN all sale transactions are considered final and it's very rare when they do give a refund. Usually it has to do with a PSN store fault rather than the game or your own fault.
Did you check Battlelog website?

I would contact EA but I wouldn't even know where to start.
Just checked things appear to be unlocked there. Not ingame though.
Yeah, DICE had a message on Battlelog, which they've since removed because it was a fire storm, about "monitoring issues on several platforms". Now they just link to the Control Room part of their forums, which haven't been updated since Dec 20th.
Post-Christmas traffic is fucking everything up. There was supposed to be a Gamestop event over the weekend that never happened (reported on the message boards) and now today's double XP event is in question.
Nothing works as it should.

It's a DICE bug. Happened in BF3 and BC2, also. Close and restart the game and it should be back to normal.
Yeah, search for servers in this mode.

I'm pretty confident DICE doesn't have any sort of in house test procedures or test team to validate the code they write. If they did, no way some of these issues make it into the builds they release. It seems they depend on us to provide the feedback; meaning they're relying on the consumer to test out their builds.
FUCK DICE and FUCK EA
