going for it now my self i started last night
its frustrating alright, im finding it easier on domination
nice small maps with close combat game play

Cool. Will give it a go

The combination of my bad shooting and that weak handgun is gonna made it pretty grindy for me.

"Deliver 5 bombs in Obliteration" is gonna be a headache too.

Wish i started playing FPS when I was a child, my hours or Crash bandicoot are useless to me now

Really good info Klair88. Thanks for that

china rising is wednesday. they released another effing patch today, the 200th http://www.vg247.com/2013/12/16/dice-releases-a-battlefield-4-pc-patch-fixes-include-the-infamous-sound-loop-crash/

Sound, got a free code with the game for it.

I installed it last night to check out the graphics, had 2 64 player matches.
And ofcourse it crashed on the 2nd one. I hope they fix it soon so i can get a few matches and get used to R2 and L2 for ironsights and shoot.

When i entered my code it somehow deleted my Campaign progress.

I was on a collectible run too. Fun stuff.

Patch 1.06 for PS4 out!....615mb

http://battlelog.battlefield.com/bf4/forum/threadview/2955065221500524865/

Dec 17 PS4 Game Update Notes
-Reduced the probability of the “Kill trade” issue (see below for details).
-Fixed a common crash that could occur during round transition.
-Fixed a crash that could happen for players that had lots of friends.
-Fixed a problem where the “end of round” screen was adding up scores several times in the rank bar, resulting in the rank bar showing a higher value or rank than players really had.
-Fix for the game mode specific ribbons being counted twice in the multiplayer progression.
Fix for a graphical glitch that could appear on terrain.
-Fixed an engine audio dropout that could happen when driving IFV’s.
-Fix for a camera glitch that could occur when players were switching weapons while moving in crouched stance.
-Fixed an animation bug for passengers on the China Rising dirt bike to make sure that the character is pointing in the direction where the player is actually aiming.
-Fix for an issue where 4x the damage from a vehicle's minigun would be applied to the chest when a player had the Defense specialization equipped.
-Tweaked the War Tape audio setting to remove distortion.
-Fix for the SUAV (introduced in the China Rising expansion pack) not exploding when hitting enemy soldiers. While these indeed should be deadly, they were never designed for “roadkilling” opponents.
-Servers with users playing on them are now by default placed on the top in the Server Browser.
-Servers that friends are playing on have a higher priority in the server list.
-Server Browser is no longer showing empty or full servers by default.
-Servers that are completely empty will be shown only when the “Empty” option is checked in the Server Browser filter.
-Server Browser filter will count a server as full if all “Soldier” slots are occupied, unless the “Free Commander” slot is checked.
-Balancing jet handling across all stealth and attack jet classes.
-Fixed a bug in Defuse mode where defenders could win a round by killing all the attackers without disarming the bomb. If the attackers arm the bomb, the defenders need to disarm it to win, even if they have killed all the attackers.
-Fix for players getting stuck in the revive screen.
-Fix for players getting stuck in the kill camera after being revived. Note that you might see a graphical bug on-screen after being revived when accepting a revive within 1 second. This graphical bug will be removed in the next patch.
-Fix for a Defuse bug where none of the teams would win a round by letting the timer run out.
-Fixed the instance where players suddenly would transition into Spectator Mode while playing the Defuse game mode.
-Fix for the death camera/screen being displayed too early.
-Raised the first-person camera slightly for walking in crouch to more accurately reflect the actual position of the character.
-Lowered IED explosion sound to not bottom out the HDR.
-General stability improvements.

Kill trading issue
We’ve addressed the so-called “Kill trading”. This refers to when two players fire at each other and, seemingly, both die at the same time. The time window where a bullet could cause damage from an already dead player is now calculated as intended, decreasing the time frame when players with high latency could get a kill, even though they should be dead according to the server. This should reduce the probability of kill trading.

Got the patch this morning, seems a lot slicker, actually managed to get through the rest of that bloody campaign...:-)

HomelessMidge

Anyone up for a game? I'll be on for a couple of hours.

Why the rush game mode so broken in BF4 it was a lot of fun in BF3 but just suck in BF4.The lag and frame drop are annoying with all the bugs it gonna take Dice months to fix it.when the game work it good but think BF3 better game than it.

Day one BF3 was better than the current BF4.

Glico Man

Seems to be working better now, not had a crash all evening. Rubber banding is still an issue however. Several times I died when I was 'safe' on my screen, yet apparently not.

Plenty of problems for me as usual. The old running on the spot every so often. Stalling for ages on loading screens and the newest one... the accept revive message not going away after accepting it. Was running around for about 5 minutes with it in the way of everything on screen :rolleyes:

I turn this off in disappointment every time I play it. Just not enjoyable at all.

EoinHef

Most people still having problems after the update?
I see for a few above it doesnt seem to have changed.

I really want this game to be good, and I think it definitely can be.
All they need to do is squash the bugs. Underneath the bugs theres a great game imo.

Only got a PS4 today(thanks to the people on probably the most popular thread on boards these days:)) and want to buy the game but I also have it on pc (just as broken but getting a good bit better now) so really dont wanna get it on ps4 till its fixed.

I thought the recent patch was quite extensive judging by the notes

Edit:Just as a side note is there a premium edition of bf4 available yet? Gonna get premium anyway so be nice to get a discount for buying both at the same time, cheers

HomelessMidge

I had around ten games of Conquest tonight. Out of the ten I was disconnested out of around 5 of those midway through! Had a few games of Team Deathmatch and didn't get kicked once! So I'm gonna lay off the conquest for a while. Losing a lot of exp constantly being kicked!

That's the only problem I have with it so far. Well tonight was my first nights real play online so not much to go by. Will be getting stuck in tomorrow, gonna see how Rush treats me!

Glico Man

I've had far fewer crashes playing Obliteration than the other game modes. Not that I've played much if any TDM, Dom, Rush. Both iterations of Conquest has me kicked to the PS4 home screen all too often to want to go back to it. The game could be great, if it worked properly.

Varik

Had a issue with disconnecting from the server but not the normal error, there's a good deal more lag than before.

ziggyman17

I've been playing team death match and have'nt had any problems, its probably best sticking to this until rest of game is sorted out

Josey Wales

I've put about 6 or 7 hours into BF4 multiplayer now and have only been disconnected once in all that time. It really has been pretty smooth for me. I play Domination almost exclusively.

thinking of getting this, it looks awesome

My career progress was deleted aswell, very annoying

If you are going to buy Premium just buy the standard BF4 edition. Premium is 50 euro but you get extra content every month plus all the extra maps to be released.

Update installed this morning and now every game I'm running on the spot , warping forward back to running on the spot , followed by warping . I think we need an update to fix this update .

jenjenten

The China Rising DLC is now out and available to download on PS4, but... **be careful**, it asks you to select a version....14.99 and Free, if you have entered the preprder China rising DLC code then select free and download it.....3.8GB in size.

Welcome to the wonderful world of BF4, bringing you endless patches that breaks stuff fixed in an older patch, and a patch to patch that patch

It's worse now than it was when I got it. I actually want my money back at this stage tbh. How do these companies get away with releasing such broken crap. It wouldn't happen in any other industry. It's like a BMW dealer handing you the keys to your shiny brand new car with a huge dent in the door, 2 punctures and a cracked windscreen and telling you he'll try get them fixed up for you over the next few months.

aindriu80

I can't believe the latest 600mb patch. I wish they really had that when BF4 came out, it would have made playing it a lot less like a stress test.

I have to deliver 5 bombs and win a squad team death match (along with the final 2 game modes in China Rising) for platinum. Its a bit tricky.

Sean Quagmire

I like this game and all but they really need to sort out the amount of damage it takes to kill people.

I emptied a full clip at someone right in front on me that was running. I'd say 90% of the bullets hit him, he turns around as I'm shooting him and blows me away with a shotgun. his health was at about 30. makes no sense. Sniper kills take 2 shots unless you get a clean head shot which is bs.

that and the way you sometimes get stuck behind small objects that you can't jump over is annoying.

Battlefield games have always been a bit like that, though.

They change it and its totally made up. I don't think their decisions are based on anything scientific and its totally frustrating having to learn what they came up with.

EoinHef

Ive found accuracy with the guns very much depends on when you start to fire. I usually aim down the sights, not a fan of hipfire in battlefield games, and it seems that if you start to fire half way through the aiming animation you still have hipfire bullet spread. If you let the animation complete and then fire you will get much beteer accuracy.

Dont know if its a bug but thats what ive found anyway.

Heres a video showing what I mean:

rob808

I think next time I'm buying a BF game I buy 5 months after it release having more fun playing killzone sf and that p2p and run better play better and less annoying gona get premium in about 9 month should be a lot cheaper.

forzacalcio

So for people who bought this game online they are charging another 14.99 for new maps?
But if I bought Premium o pre booked in shop Id get it free?

It's nothing new. You buy premium for the €50 or whatever it is and you get all the map releases or you can buy them individually which will cost you much more were you to get them all.
The prebooking was just for the China Rising maps and won't count for the next set of mad released.

_Redzer_

After the last few updates my games are as laggy! Really annoying since I never had any problems before this

forzacalcio

I guess it is a whole batch of new maps so cant argue I suppose

Varik

Spent an hour or 2 trying to get the grenade launcher, defib, and pistol kills that was needed for an assignment that needed to be done in 1 round, usually I find loads of snipers prone off on some hill but there was a complete lack of them (not snipers but me finding them unaware). Got it twice but the first time didn't count, it might be that I needed the assault ribbons part already done before doing the 3 kills.

Have a look here Dread, It explains what steps you need to do to get all the assignments. I'll be using it as a guide for that last trophy.

came across this bug there earlier, even the parachute opened under the water (29 sec onwards)

Yeah, I've had that happen on 2 occasions; once on Paracel Storm and the other on Floodzone. Had to drown myself to fix it. After I had a little fun with my pistol of course.

_Redzer_

Is the campaign bug fixed yet. Might try it out for guns

EoinHef

Just got this today, wont get to have a go till tomorrow. Excited to have a bash.

Ill stick to team deathmatch per the advice here I think!!

Seems to be, managed to finish it the other night on my third play since losing my previous progress, not sure exactly what MP guns I got for it though yet...

Will I Amnt

I go prone behind cover and I start sliding back out into the open like I'm being pushed along. Or I go prone on a ledge and I just start getting "pushed" off it by nothing. Anybody else get this?

Will I Amnt

Oh yeah and my campaign is back to the very beginning again. F**king assholes.

Thats a new feature thats pushes your characters leg from out of a wall.

In BF3, you could go prone in a corner and have your legs sink into the wall, allowing you to back further in. But in BF4 if you do that, it pushes you out into the open until, it seems, your tippy toes are against the wall! Very annoying indeed but it does help against campers!

EoinHef

Played this for 4 hours straight today and I didn t get one single crash, bar messing around with the test range for about 40 minutes all the games I played were 64 man conquest.

Thats the first time I played it on ps4, I thought I was going to be crashing all the time from what ive read.

Looks great and plays so smooth at 60fps, such a big jump from PS3 BF3

Josey Wales

Can anyone recommend a good assault rifle? I have the first four or so unlocked and was having a bit of success with the SCAR but have moved on to try some others.

The M416 (HK416) is a very decent all rounder, that or the AUG A3.

derm0j073

Anyone one else having a bit of trouble connecting to servers ? Its about 50/50 for me , I connect or I get stuck on the loading screen and have to hit the PS button and start the game again . Despite all the crap I have to say its a damn fine game .
