Great news for us Europeans.

Hopefully, it gets better from now.

 

[Das-J]

Does the Xbox One version work?

I'd like confirmation of that as well.

 

[DenogginizerOS]

PS4 version is working now?
Based DICE got based again?

No, EA's partner launched their console.

I'd like confirmation of that as well.

It worked from the beginning.

 

[RoboPlato]

So is it not crashing any more? Can we play the campaign without save corruption yet? It's good to hear that things are getting better.

 

[eroots]

64 player conquest finally worked for me this morning....preeeetty sweeet. Let's keep it up Dice!

 

[Namikaze1]

And here I was about to take my sealed copy back to GameStop to get a refund and possibly put the money towards Zelda. Glad things are working out so far. Gonna hold on to the game a bit longer just in case all these problems get sorted out soon.

Not so fast buddy!

The PS4 version finally got 64p Conquest Matches working
And apparently is a bit more stable. :0

 

[Violater]

So this has probably been asked a lot. I pre-ordered the game from way back but did not get a code for China Rising, am I even more screwed that we already are?

Anyone?

Client issues are not fixed, because there's been no patch yet, so it can still crash. But conquest with 64 players is working.

 

[TheVisualizer]

wow EA... I'm really at a loss for words about the timing of all of this. Intentionally turning off the primary core feature of one of your flagship games until your precious sugar daddy launches it's console.

I think it's guaranteed there will be a threepeat as worst company in the world...

 

[Alcoholikaust]

on PS4: played now 2 50+ person conquest games and no crashes

gonna say it's looking pretty good fellas, will continue playing while I can. will post if servers go to shit again-

 

[bootski]

man from the first few pages of this thread, it's like nobody has even seen an EA launch (or BF launch on PC, for that matter) before.

edit: all of this is the reason that that guy made the post about how publishers look at day-1 buyers as suckers. busted SP w/ save corruption, busted MP. cmon!

 

[RoboPlato]

OK. I guess it's a start. The crashes are the extra infuriating part so I guess I'll keep waiting. At least it kind of works now.

 

[bombshell]

Yep, hopefully they keep their promise about a patch to fix most issues early next week.

 

[Lakitu]

Anyone on PS4 tried out Obliteration? Eager to know if it plays well, it's 32 players only right? Do all servers have timers?

 

[b0bbyJ03]

Are xbox one players having any issues? can you get into 64 player conquest?

 

[Fleet_of_Foot]

Here's a guy streaming 64-player Conquest on PS4:

[Lakitu]

Edit: My mistake.

 

[Fleet_of_Foot]

So there is no game audio in the Twitch PS4 streams?

I'm hearing game audio...

 

[Lakitu]

I'm hearing game audio...

Yeah, there is. I should have checked the player audio. I could hear him on the mic, just nothing from the game.

 

[Smidget]

Working perfect now Hooray! Conquest time!! Only a week later. Will still wait on patch for single player....

Edit: Spoke too soon, crashed between maps.

Campaign froze on me last night and lost connection a few mins in a obliteration match.

 

[mordecaii83]

I know it's been mentioned, but it does seem really fishy that this just happened to start working the day of the Xbox One release... with no patch download at all... and no prior info that they were going to be working on it today.

Don't get me wrong, I'm ecstatic I can finally play 64p Battlefield, but... this is looking pretty shady EA.

 

[Fleet_of_Foot]

Can someone explain what triggers the opportunity to counter-knife someone when they're knifing you? The reverse backstab? I get it occasionally but don't know how.

 

[tekneek2k6]

Don't get me wrong, I'm ecstatic I can finally play 64p Battlefield, but... this is looking pretty shady EA.

The only justifiable excuse is that server side issues were identified that would have impacted both platforms and the focus was getting those issues resolved before the XBox One lauch.

This has been working flawlessly since I tuned in.

 

[modernlifeisANDY]

Oh imagine that, it works now that the XBONE is out. How weird!

 

[mordecaii83]

I hope that's the case, I'm no fan of EA but I'd like to think that even they wouldn't pull something that underhanded.

 

[Bizazedo]

Usually a lot gets attributed to malice that is really just incompetence.

 

[Pompadour]

I think people in this thread are trying to see a conspiracy where there isn't one.

Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.

 

[Violater]

Is there another stream with less talking over the game audio.

 

[Definity]

Played a full game of 64 player conquest on ps4 without issue a few minutes ago. Server side patch?

 

[Alcoholikaust]

commanders are in and have no effect on games crashing-

this is what I wanted last Friday

but I'm glad it's the weekend!

 

[b0bbyJ03]

Played a full game of 64 player conquest on ps4 without issue a few minutes ago. Server side patch?

how did it run? is it just as smooth?

 

[Jharp]

So the PS4 version is picking up? Considering picking this up after work today.

How necessary do you guys say premium is for the PS4 version? I found it very necessary for the PC version of BF3, and it pissed me the fuck off. Hoping I don't need to plop down for that bullshit again.

 

[Definity]

how did it run? is it just as smooth?

Was fine to me. Maybe just a touch of lag in a couple spots but nothing more than a quick second or two.

 

[KillGore]

Well, tried a couple of matches and all o them worked nicely.

 

[Z3M0G]

Working perfect now Hooray! Conquest time!! Only a week later. Will still wait on patch for single player....

Edit: Spoke too soon, crashed between maps.

Unless there was a new client patch, that is to be expected. Crash will require client fix, Getting the conquest mode up and running likely only needed server side work.

 

[sangreal]

so fun now that it actually works. I'm abysmally bad at it though

 

[RGVNOE]

Was fine to me. Maybe just a touch of lag in a couple spots but nothing more than a quick second or two.

same here noticed it a twice in the match, but it was just like a quick stutter, but worked well for the rest of the match.

 

[GodofWine]

Well, i was going to return it on the way home tonight...but it seems they have pulled their head from the arse.

There is no conspiracy though, nothing could have hurt ps4 or improved xb1 on launch week, stock is sold through.

 

[Chaplain]

Has anyone heard if the first patch is going to have Legacy buttons (BF3 button layout)?

 

[Doran902]

did they fix the ce juy85490y32t8904 error that crashes at the menu? or did they just fix the fact that you can't join servers

because I couldnt get through the menu yesterday let alone actually PLAY the game

 

[Glorious Ownage]

I can confirm its working just played a full 32/32 conquest match with two commanders no issues smooth as butter

 

[Sanke__]

So much for playing ac4 this weekend. Bf4 here i come....once i get out of work. Ugh

 

[Zareth]

Anyone getting the odd weird artifacting when you are in the deploy screen? looks like tiny white squares here and there occasionally.

 

[Pop]

So let me get this straight...

BF4 on Ps4 is working now to were you can play 64 player Conquest matches, right when the XboxOne launches.

Haha EA/Dice

It's almost too obvious

 

[Das-J]

The only justifiable excuse is that server side issues were identified that would have impacted both platforms and the focus was getting those issues resolved ASAP.

FIFY

 

[Bloodbathnbyond]

Anyone getting the odd weird artifacting when you are in the deploy screen? looks like tiny white squares here and there occasionally.

I've being seeing those too. What the hell is that. Also, the screen flickers occasionally and the colors wash out. Other than that, it's totally playable.

 

[Zareth]

I've being seeing those too. What the hell is that. Also, the screen flickers occasionally and the colors wash out. Other than that, it's totally playable.

I am also seeing that colour wash out but only in conquest mode so maybe that is the EMP pulses maybe?
