DICE “Investigating” a “Beta” or “Test” Version of Battlefield 4 To Fix Bugs

MP1st - Thanks to the sharp eyes of redditor Cucobr, we learned that DICE is looking into ways to smooth out the patching process in hopes to fix more issues than some of these new updates might potentially introduce. One avenue the studio is “investigating” is to open up a test version of the game to allow volunteers to experiment with different builds.

I feel like I bought the "test" version three weeks ago.

MidnytRain3810d ago (Edited 3810d ago )

As per usual with launch consoles, games, etc. Only fools buy anything at launch.

ATiElite3810d ago

BF4 release has been ROUGH!

EA forced DICE to release early as to beat out COD:G
DICE had to make a SUPER TECHNICal GAME ON 5 PLATFORMS

DICE did a Good job dealing with these issues.

YES BF4 has issues but it's still better than anything Bethesda has released so I can't RAG on BF4 as much as I can Fallout 3 before 4 patches.

heliumhead20303810d ago

Yup. Releasing on 5 platforms plus no next gen opt.

I been playing battlefield for awhile. They are always buggy to begin with. Just be happy they are actually patching people

Enemy3810d ago

Lmao, proof that they released the game without beta testing?

Battlefield 4 alpha code has gone gold!

KiLLeRCLaM3810d ago

I knew all this rubbish would happen.. Been playing bf3 since day one and will continue playing it till BF4 gets all these issues fixed..might take a couple months.. damn DICE buy new servers you make enough damn money from us..

Nodoze3810d ago

I blame EA corporate greed for this crap. They saw Activision releasing games once per year and demanded the same.

A hearty F U to the corporate stooge that thought this was a good idea.

Sitdown3810d ago (Edited 3810d ago )

What are you talking about 1)Battlefield 3 came out in October of 2011; this is 2 years later. 2)How can you say EA saw Activision releasing games once a year and demanded the same.....when EA has been releasing Madden, NHL, and in the past NBA Live for how long? 3)Battlefield 3 had its own set of launch issues.

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.

-Foxtrot756d ago

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

gamesftw250755d ago

Maybe it was a inside job then haha.

jeromeface755d ago

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

PapaBop755d 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.

Inverno755d 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

XiNatsuDragnel756d ago

They want people to go on 2042. My theory

excaliburps755d ago

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

Pudge102888755d ago (Edited 755d 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

pr33k33755d 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.

Pudge102888755d 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_D3TH755d 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.
