Yeah, the fuck is up with that? Cleared a good section of the shanghai level, and then when I went to play again, I was back at the beginning of the level.

Did 1.5 affect other games? If not I call BS, it just haaaad to be EA's right?
Nope.
EA dun goofed.
I beat two or three full levels, and when I went to show my friends the game last night I had to start from the beginning. Yay.

This game is such a piece of shit. So glad I got this for free and have other games to play on PS4. If this were the only game I bought I'd be so pissed.
cool, want to play more of that, thats my 'call of duty' for this gen.
The sad thing is that if these bugs weren't occurring, it would be really good. However, in the state it's in it never should have shipped. There's no way the single player progress dump bug wasn't caught before it shipped. There's no freaking way.

Finally joined a 61/64 server. Ran for 2 minutes and connection lost. Great game.
Killzone works, Warframe works, and from what I hear COD ghosts is pretty stable online.

Yep been playing Killzone and COD Ghosts perfectly fine online.
This is an incredibly stupid move on EA's part. Now, when all the dudebros buy this game, they're going to try getting into multiplayer for a few minutes, disconnect over and over again, move back to CoD, and never look back.
Ghosts isn't anything special on ps4, but at least I can get into a game quickly and play without worrying about disconnecting.

I really wish they would try to show they care about the people who bought their game and say something like, "we hear you and we are working hard to fix it." Instead I get something like, "That's odd. You must have a problem or PSN is down or here's a link to a worthless FAQs we made that will make you feel even more helpless."

Just lost my 5 hour single player save. My time is incredibly small for gaming these days. So upset right now.
To be fair, we're talking about EA here.

My roommate has been playing but it's mostly a lagfest for him. Killzone has it's share of issues but nowhere near as bad as BF4

Is anyone else getting corrupt save files when playing campaign? I've played the first hour 3 times now, I wait for it to save before quitting and everything appears fine. When I start it again I get a message saying my save is corrupt and it's going to overwrite. Wtf is going on?

Rush is supposed to be 32 players, though on PC, server admins can set it to be higher.. i hear that it's pretty hard to win as attackers in a 64 player game.

Gotta delete the entire cache. Lost a 5 tucking hour save.

if you played an EA Xbox 360 game online, you've already made an Origin account that's tied to your gamertag.
Is the save not in the cloud? Try looking at your notifications.
I finished a game of Conquest, but I was disconnected while waiting for the next match through.

it could have broken just their game, it's totally possible. someone need to play the single player on a virgin PS4 and see if it has the same save eating issues...

I played one round of rush and got spanked and decided I'd wait until they fix the servers so I can get a squad with my clan going.
I lost like an hour today. I think a mod should put that on a thread. Something about not to try to play SP because the risk to loosing progress is too high.
BF4 keeps crashing to the XMB for me. I've deleted and reinstalled multiple times.
As a previous Xbox owner switching to PS, if this is what I should expect from PSN in general, I may just return my PS4 or sell it on ebay within a few weeks. I won an Xbox One through the Every2Minutes deal anyway. It's almost 2014. To not have a functioning online service is just beyond me.
-no notifications of friends signing online
-have to install updates separately from downloading them
-have to "sync" trophies just to view them (whatever the hell that means)

I played rush earlier. Can't get in a conquest match.

Yup. That is why this love/hate relationship with their games/their company is maddening. They could be so much better and yet they continue to fail.
There used to be notifications for that, but I have no idea why they aren't there now. That's odd.
As far as the PSN experience in general, it's the day after launch dude. Not surprising there are some issues. However, this BF4 issue is on them not Sony. KZ is fine and so is COD. Blacklight was broken but Zombie fixed it. This is on EA. The game was shit on PC and now it's shit for PS4.
I've been a majority PSN gamer for years and it's fine.

Did you ever play with a ps3 at all last generation? having to sync stuff and install updates separately is annoying but, that is small stuff. It sounds to me like you are talking yourself out of owning a ps4. You could always sell the system if you want and jump back in later when something you want to play comes out.
Yeah, that's what I meant. I didn't own a PS3 last generation, and would definitely grab a PS4 this generation when some more games come out. But seriously, how have they not figured out how to fix that stuff by now?

Conquest is busted. Only 5 Rush matches in server browser. The rest is TDM, bleh...
Say what you will about CoD, at least their server set up works on day one.

I haven't played any games on my PS4 yet, I'm gonna do that after my exams in the first week of december. Now, BF4 is the only physical game I got, and I'm really looking forward to 64 players do you think it will get into a playable state in 2 weeks? I haven't opened the shrink wrap just in case BF4 is still in bad shape online then I'll probably just get AC4
How much doritos/mountain dew did you hoard? I ask because I know the things on there have been going for so much. So I assume you didn't accidentally come across enough points to win.

I'll cross post from the error code thread, maybe it will help someone out.
If you want to make sure you don't lose single player content, push your saves to the cloud after every mission (you can do this in system settings, assuming you have PS Plus)
If you're getting constant crashes, advice I found that has worked consistently for me: always launch the game signed out of PSN! Singleplayer will work fine, and if you want to play multiplayer only sign in when you're at the game menu.
