Battlefield 4 PS4 multiplayer issues
- Thread starter MThanded
- Start date
Meeee too. Mostly because it's something that, ya know, SHOULD WORK OUT OF THE BOX. Like, I get it if servers and online is borked somehow at launch. That at least makes sense because there's a whole other mess of issues going on there. But single player? Come on son. There's no freaking way that QA/Cert didn't find this bug, and there's no freaking way the game should have shipped with it.

So I guess nothing really came out of that test server and we're basically stuck waiting till "early next week" hoping for something to fix this

wow.
Yeah I just saw the scoreboard. ...Sonofabitch.
Does this mean the XB1 version isn't bugged?
lets see how it performs after midnight when the masses start flooding the servers.
then we riot

dude
IT HAS COMMANDERS! FUCKING COMMANDERS!
something that always crashed the ps4 version
This isn't really enough to go by right now. Give it through Saturday to see how the XBone version is working.

Ps4's 1.5 update breaking the game confirmed? If it REALLY runs fine on XBO that is.
server load has to be extremely low...extremely. if it running tomorrow night at 10pm EST, we riot...we return our copies..trade in our copies..kill their ps4 sales and wait for planetside 2, and it will be our battlefield.

I can play domination with no problems but every other game type either disconnects me frequently or eventually just crashes the game.

This cuts me deep. Good for XBone players, though. Hope it holds steady.

Source? Why do you say the 1.5 would be what broke the game?

That's what EA wants you to think. Unprecedented Partnership.

BF4 doesn't use Azure - it uses EA/DICE servers.

Do they? Any source? I couldn't find out yes or no.
This is why Microsoft touting "The Cloud" is so demonstrably stupid... It's complete misinformation most of the time and people suck it in hook line and sinker. If it was even using Azure for the dedicated servers then there would have been monstrous problems on PS3 which there weren't. It's a rushed launch for PS4 and crazy money flung from Microsoft's pockets to EA's. The only ones that suffer are those that have zero clue and are just sitting home trying to figure out why their game doesn't work.
Closest I can find...

But that's the compute cloud servers...

Seeing the Xbox One running 64 player maps makes me angry. One week after I and many others spent $60 or more on this game, we have a broken lemon of a game, while EA and it's unprecedented partnership with Microsoft leads to what now will be described as the superior version simply because it works. Unreal. I almost feel like taking the loss and trading this in towards AC4 or Tearaway
the xb1 streaming crashed.
no, i meant there cant be many people on since the vast majority arent getting this till after midnight or tomorrow, so the servers just arent stressed yet.
It crashed once.
This is compared to the PS4 version where you CANNOT play 64 player Conquest AT ALL.

Not to mention you can barely play Single Player without a crash or corrupt save game. Hell even most rounds of Domination and Rush I get all out game crashes and not just the server.

I really think it will still work after the xbox one launch in under a few hours
alright...geez...like I said if its running well tomorrow at 10pm eastern then its probably ok.
edit: look we are pissed at EA-Dice, not rooting for your version to fail..but if it did it would bolster the backlash. I hope both versions work fine, luckily i never unwrapped it, so im not out a dime...but it was kinda the game i was looking forward to the most.
Is this actually true for the XB1 servers? I believe the big deal MS made was making them a cheaper alternative for other people (though EA could have cheaper servers since they've been doing it for a while now).

Yep it's freaking crap. It's been a full week since the game was released and this shit is still broken. I love seeing ads for the ps4 copy talking about playing 64 player online, yeah right

Man, this sucks. Can't play Conquest...keep losing connection with Rush.
I don't want to play Infantry-only Team Deathmatch with a small number of players (half camping snipers.)
Game should not have shipped broken like this. &^%$#

It is currently running better than BF4 ever did on PS4. As someone who spent $60 on a defective product, it is serious business. This just smacks of MS payola.

Guys, how would Kotaku have time to report on this when they're busy with this nonsense?
