PS4 Game Update Dec 11

We are rolling out a new game update on PS4. You might need to restart the game to have the update install. Change notes below. We are already working on the next update based on your feedback.

Dec 11 PS4 Game Update Notes

• General stability fixes that should remove a large amount of the client crashes we are currently seeing on the PS4
• Fixed the audio drop outs that could occur when playing on large maps. Typical map affected was Golmud Railway in Conquest with 64 players. Ambient sound would sometimes cut out, like foley sounds from player running, vehicle engine sounds, vehicle movement sounds, and map ambient sounds
• Removed the blur effect on soldiers that appeared when Commanders were using EMP attacks
• Further reduced the probability of getting a corrupt save file by doing miscellaneous changes to the save file system. These include removing the save file saving again when quitting multiplayer
• Fixed multiple crashes that could occur when bringing up the in-game Battlelog during round transition
• Fixed a crash that could occur when using the BattleScreen
• Fixed a random crash related to destroying vehicles
• Fixed minor destruction issues in the terrain

Hopefully this fixes the lingering Conquest crashes I've been experiencing.

Nice patch.
Has the PC version removed the Chromatic Aberration effect when an EMP strikes yet?

 

[Apath]

Good, now add a way for friends to form a squad before joining a game and a way to customize load-outs in the main menu.

 

[Dead Prince]

yeah. i got the update this morning when i was about to update 1.52 FW.

 

[manny10032]

Should not have these problems at all!

Yeah, they patched it out last week when they patched the one hit kill bug.

[Requiem]

YAY!

I fucking hated that sound bug...

 

[agallor6]

Happy that this patch is fixing these issues. Next major issue IMO is the hit box when crouching, or going prone. Than again I wont complain about them fixing any part of the game at this point.

 

[Teddified]

So is single player reasonably safe now or not? I've kinda been waiting to play because of all the save issues.

This is certainly an improvement if true.

Its true my BF4 is currently updating along with a system update

I mean if it actually fixes these issues. Who knows at this point.

 

[Creaking]

Does this mean that x3 scope is coming yet?

 

[Violater]

Good! now about that silly party feature......

 

[Parakeetman]

Same managed to get this when did my PS4 FWUD.

*Sigh* Well, I guess I'll give the single-player another go then, but I really hope it doesn't corrupt again. I swear, if I have to hear that Total Eclipse of the Heart song one more time...

 

[Jezbollah]

The first two bulletpoints are major issues. Hope this patch goes a long way to finally fixing them

 

[Milennia]

Does this mean that x3 scope is coming yet?

Its been available for about 3 days.

Even says it in the in game menu

Also

http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?p=93330022&highlight=#post93330022 all patches are posted here when they go up as well as discussed.

I don't even think I have that gun unlocked yet.

 

[Milennia]

Its one of the later pistol unlocks, however you will still have the scope when you do unlock it.

Same deal as getting scopes etc. from battlepacks for guns you don't have yet.

 

[ab.aeterno]

Hey, can I finally play the campaign now? Didn't even bother trying since a typical MP session would get me a corrupt save 3-4 times. Gave up on even trying to customize settings.

 

[DrGonzo615]

Good, now add a way for friends to form a squad before joining a game and a way to customize load-outs in the main menu.

Seriously, with every BF game the UI gets less and less user friendly

It will still have a chance of corrupting.

If you want to play, you can upload your save each time , just to be safe.

 

[Netherscourge]

Well, this is certainly a list of patch fixes that I need.

Looks like it covers everything I've been having problems with.

Hopefully it actually works.

each time you close a SP session?

 

[kriskrosbbk]

Now tell us how to hunt the Megalodon down.

Should not have these problems at all!

Couldn't have said it better.

The only one they are claiming is truly definitive is the sound bug fix and the minor fixes/removals.
The rest will still need more fixes in terms of game crashes and save data corruption.

Question: If people on my team are talking in Battlefield 4 and I don't have my headset on shouldn't I be able to hear them through the TV speakers?

 

[King326]

This would have been helpful yesterday when my save corrupted on the last mission and at the very last objective. Thanks DICE.

 

[Milennia]

each time you close a SP session?

More like each time before you shut your ps4 down for the night, thats what i did.
Took maybe 3 seconds each time.

 

[Shadybiz]

Yes, but they might be in party chat, so you wouldn't. I THINK that it still shows the indicator that someone is talking, even if they're in party chat.

 

[Tal Shiar Agent]

Aside from the crashing, the terrible corner lag (netcode) is my biggest problem with this game.

 

[Newlove]

Great stuff. I annoyingly crashed a few times but no where near the amount some people have experienced.

Ouch that sucks, and the reason I haven't booted up the SP since it happened to me on launch weekend.

Ok

 

[keezy]

Glad to see the BF4 beta is progressing.

 

[Glorious Ownage]

This is great. Really hope the next thing on their list is rubber banding and lag in general

 

[Milennia]

Glad to see the BF4 beta is progressing.

This is an Alpha.

Beta is in february.

 

[King326]

Yup it did. I will go back to it after this update. But this time to get all the collectables as well.

 

[Anhkow]

• Fixed the audio drop outs that could occur when playing on large maps.
• Removed the blur effect on soldiers that appeared when Commanders were using EMP attacks.

Glad they fixed those issues.

I booted up my PS4 and the patch is around 607MB.

 

[Jezbollah]

Good day to leave my PS4 in standby. 1.52 PS4 update, BF4 update. Sweet.

 

[Octavion Rex]

Well about time, getting bored of just KZ

 

[Trojita]

Question: If people on my team are talking in Battlefield 4 and I don't have my headset on shouldn't I be able to hear them through the TV speakers?

Yeah it's weird I've never heard a single person talking on my teams.

 

[Milennia]

Yeah it's weird I've never heard a single person talking on my teams.

Most don't talk.

I get maybe 1 dude talking every 8 games in my squad.
Pretty much always been that way on console battlefield games for as long as i can remember.

 

[Ark]

YES!

Gunna be playing some BF4 tonight!

 

[nhaydon]

Anyone else notice how much faster updates are coming out on the PS4? Do they not have to go through Sony anymore?

 

[DiddyInAHellcat]

Hopefully this fixes The CE- errors been waiting for this

 

[Milennia]

It wont, or at least don't expect it to.

You will still get errors, just less frequent hopefully.
Anything they don't claim to be fixed should be taken as such.

 

[Cidd]

Still no fix for the 1 hit kill bug? WTF DICE!

 

[DiddyInAHellcat]

This was fixed supposedly in the Dec 5th update
