Battlefield 4 – DICE Details Launch Issues Being Looked Into, Fixes Incoming

MP1st - Though Battlefield 4's launch this week is an appreciable improvement over Battlefields 3's in 2011, it's not without its hiccups. PC users are reporting significant crashing issues while others are reporting various bugs and glitches.

Rest assured, however, as developers DICE have acknowledged our troubles. So, what exactly is studio aware of and looking into, you might ask? All that and more as been detailed in a recent Battlelog forum entry, so let's check out what they had to say:

GenericNameHere3817d ago

My dad lost about 2 hours into the campaign because the save file deleted itself. The game froze on while loading me into a Conquest match. I also saw Giantbomb's stream of Battlefield 4 during the Extra Life event, where the game locked-up just as a building was about to fall.

Just 3 problems I've seen so far.

DeathOfTheFanBoy3817d ago

Loosing a save file would piss me off so much, luckily I'm yet to experience that one.

Detoxx3817d ago (Edited 3817d ago )

I hope the Next-Gen versions are going to launch patched.

Seriously? Someone actually disagreed.

Cernunnos3817d ago (Edited 3817d ago )

I'm not one of them, but it might be because it is obvious that these issues will be worked on before the next-gen launch. Why would they fix the problems on one version and not on the others?

Detoxx3817d ago

It takes time to bring out a patch, they might ship the next-gen versions already patched.

bumnut3817d ago

I think it runs ok now, had a few issues with server crashes on release day but its seems ok now.

Im just happy it runs better than the beta!

PC version btw

AusRogo3817d ago

DICE, please bring squad parties back. Why on earth does bf4 not have this? Makes it so much more difficult to play with friends. Hopefully its in by the time next gen arrives.

Detoxx3817d ago

When playing the Beta I thought it was just like that in the Beta only.. But it makes absolutely no sense to me that there is no create squad system on the main menu.

They better fix that fast

BoriboyShoGUN3817d ago

You can't create squads?? WTF! yeah they better have this stuff figured out by the time the 15th rolls around. The stuff these guys overlook sometimes is ridiculous!

AusRogo3817d ago

I thought it was just in the beta too! Was absolutely shocked when I spent a good 10 minutes the other night trying to figure it out, only to realize its not even in the retail version.. im actually amazed its not in since BF3 had it!

bumnut3817d ago

You can create squads when in the game.

TopDudeMan3817d ago

Oh the crashes are terrible right now. I had about 3 or 4 yesterday in the 3 hour period I played.

Battlefield 1, Hardline, BF4 Servers Are Being Taken Offline by Cheaters; EA Silent on Issue

Cheaters & hackers have been causing grief on Battlefield 1, Hardline & BF4 servers, with nonstop DDoS attacks among other things. Unfortunately, EA has remained silent about it.

-Foxtrot749d ago

Course they are silent, they are hoping people flock to 2042

gamesftw250748d ago

Maybe it was a inside job then haha.

jeromeface748d ago

wouldnt be the first time, titanfall 1+2 anyone?

PapaBop748d ago

Not even if they paid me.. EA always do this with old games with less money potential, if this was Ultimate Team, they'd address and sort it faster than stories could spread. Why invest time in their products when they will just dump it in the following years? Then again EA never could see the forest for the trees.

Inverno748d ago

I imagine after those games were given out for free a couple months back through Amazon, anything that makes people go to 2042 is a plus for them

XiNatsuDragnel749d ago

They want people to go on 2042. My theory

excaliburps748d ago

Nah. I think they can't do anything about it or they want to sink money into fixing it.

Pudge102888748d ago (Edited 748d ago )

EA owns all BF servers so yes, they can do something about it but they refuse to because they dont want ppl playing their old games instead of the new one. Its EA we’re talking about here

pr33k33748d ago

if this happened in 2042, they'd have something to say. which is weird, considering battlefield 1 has more players on steam right now.

Pudge102888748d ago

Its so obvious that EA is doing this or hired ppl to mess up the games so that we’d be forced to have just 1 Battlefield working.

FPS_D3TH748d ago

Honestly it’s probably the devs themselves. They did an update to bf4 way back that kinda made assault rifles doo doo in hopes that people would flock to BF1 cuz BF4 was too perfect

There's a bunch of great shooters on gamepass; both legacy and new.

A recommendation I have is a work in progress preview title called Anacrusis. It's a lot of fun, and has a cool aesthetic.
