What's the point in saying something like that without going into detail? You're obviously trolling.

No I am not ,few people confirmed already that playing offline keeps your save file safe.Sign out of PSN when playing single.

I lost my damned campaign progress and I'm pretty damned furious that things like that can even happen on a full priced retail game!

Have they even responded to this issue? Happening all the time on both PS4 and X1. How this was not caught... is beyond amazing. Actually I am guessing it was caught and they simply did not fix it.

Quote unfortunate about BF 4. I love the multiplayer but all the issues are just getting ridiculous. Next battlefield I'll be waiting for a couple of months for all the bugs to be worked out.

That would work if you never once go online until the entire single player campaign is done.

If you go offline, play single player, and then at any point go online to play multiplayer there is a good chance it's going to corrupt your save game.

So, yeah, I suppose if you dedicated yourself to never play a single round of online until you've finished single player it might work.

However, the single player game can crash offline and corrupt your save as well... which is what happened to me.

Basically, any time BF4 crashes, during single player or online, there is a 90% chance that your single player save is going to be corrupted or deleted.

Christ. They really should be offering refunds on this shit, or at the very least incentives for the users who put up with this.

I have premium on PS4, and I cannot download China Rising. There is no option, it is not on the store...

They're in the middle of updating the store right now, it might not be up yet. Give it a few more hours, they're usually done around 2:00 PST.

Ok, I'll be patient

 

[Crawl]

So does this actually fix the crashing on PC?

 

[Enchanted]

So glad I did not yet purchase this game, I'm happy yet sad because I want to play so badly but the game is a mess.

Sp deleted saves, BSOD, freezing online, etc...

BF3 always ran well for me, why did things have to change so much with the netcode and stability?

It was supposed to be addressed in the last patch iirc but I'm still having the issue.

See above in the thread, another gaffer states you can restore your gamesave from PS+ but only if you're quick and do it right after you're notified your save is corrupted. I might try it next time PS4 BF4 GAF isn't online and I wanna try my luck with SP again.

Multi has been pretty damn good so far, but after losing all my single player data I'm too scared to play online anymore in case that gets reset too.



It's more about potentially losing my unlockables, that some have gone through, that worries me.

My friend lost his campaign data while offline. It was on his replay of the last level to get the different endings too.

 

[Mr. PlayStation]

Can someone explain to me why I have not been able to unlock 'all endings trophy', despite having individually unlocked the three ending trophies?

 

[meppi]

Guess I'll have to be careful with my Philip J. Fry card now.

 

[Dizzle24]

PS4 version here.

I agree that Dice/EA should be giving out free shit as compensation for this disaster. I've had my campaign progress reset 4 times now...I don't know why I even bothered trying again after the 2nd time it happened.

How nice of them to give us Double XP from 11/28 to 12/5...but the base game maps are shit, 1-hit kills, crashing, no team chat (or people arent using their mics) and other nonsense. MP is the only thing keeping this game alive and its broken too.

I hope someone files a class-action lawsuit or something...or EA gives refunds.

Actually, I think I will trade this in to Bestbuy; they are offering $40, so it's better than nothing.

Yep, a few days of double xp ain't gonna cut it. I've yet to finish the single player because my progress is constantly being deleted.

 

[Later Alligator]

the single player corruption bug is inexcusable. especially that playing online can corrupt your single player game

that being said, multi player is quite stable since the last patch. no issues getting into any game type, and i usually play in a party with a few friends

 

[mitchman]

Not sure if you can get the same crash and corrupted save from playing SP or not.

SP nuked my save when it crashed.

The patch is out now.

PS4 Game Update Dec 5

We are now rolling out the new PS4 game update. You might be booted from ongoing games before you can reconnect to the new server versions that are rolling out at the same time. Change notes below.

NOTE: This small patch was pushed live as quickly as possible to deal primarily with the "one-hit kill" bug. We are already working on the next PS4 update that will contain more fixes and have a bigger focus on game stability. Stay tuned.

Dec 5 PS4 Game Update Notes

• Fixed the "one-hit kill" bug where damage from a single bullet sometimes was applied multiple times. This could lead to firefights where normal rifles sometimes dealt one-shot kills, which is not as designed.
• Fixed a crash that could occur when having a very large amounts of Friends
• Enabled audio in PS4 video captures

One-hit Kill Bug Explained
We are seeing reports from people that this is still present, with descriptions such as "I came around the edge of a building and died instantly". It is important to understand that this is not the One-hit Kill Bug, that is another issue that we are working on addressing. For this, it is important to understand how some of the interpretations made by the game happen so that you can understand the difference.

We saw an issue where a bullet travelling towards an opponent would cause damage in one frame, and then again in the next frame. Therefore bullets would cause 2x damage if they hit the target between these two frames. This issue has been addressed.

The issue of dying before you saw who shot you is a different beast. We use a term called Interpolation in reference to where you are in the game world. There are instances where the death camera is initiated before the correct internet packets have arrived to be interpolated by your camera. This gives the impression that you were killed by "one shot" as someone came around the corner of a building. We have identified this issue and will address it in upcoming updates.
