You get field upgrade points for doing an objective that the squad leader sets. Such as defending a flag.
Whatever field upgrade you get is dependant on what you've set for your soldier, and you unlock more as you progress.
As long as there is always one person alive on the squad you never lose it. However if everyone all dies at the same time it is lost.
That is what I am saying, it WORKS 100% INSTANTANEOUSLY on a phone/tablet or PC, design time just wasn't allocated to the in-game console browser at all, it's clear (and sad).
Personally I use the iOS phone app, tapping join on servers in it results in an instant join in the game itself. It's pretty great/cool that that works as well as it does (it being a second screen thing is besides the point).
I agree with you, the console versions should have a functional in-game browser, of course. But the situation is what it is, at least battlelog is a fully functional alternative at the moment.
This game needs to be fixed, I dont even feel like playing this game sometimes because of all the issues. I tried to play yesterday for a little while with my brother, and it crashed on me twice, it lagged quite a bit and even at one point frame rate dropped so much that it made it unplayable, it felt like it was running at under 5 fps, and no I'm not exaggerating. Also when I try to join up the same server as my brother my screen stays all black loading and just gets stuck there, it's happened quite a bit too I have to close the game and reload it, has that happened to anyone else.
Which begs the question why that time was not put into the game itself.
I'm generalizing but probably because they already had a fully functional server browsing/joining/friends list functionality for the PC version already, and the consoles use the same server infrastructure, the extra console-only features went down the priority list in terms of QA under heavy load. I mean functionally it's in there, just doesn't work well at all under load in a live environment on PS4 or Xbox One (works ok on old-gen consoles right?).

is Battlelog universal? if it works flawlessly on PC, PS3, PS4, 360, ONE, maybe they figured it was OK to focus on other more substantial bugs.

I've lost my progress on single player 4 times after it crashing out of multiplayer, on Xbox One though.
Happened to me on PS4 about 7 times
It's happened 3 times on PS4 for me, I blame myself for continually trying.
What are the odds that they cannot fix the issue?

save your progress to a USB stick after every chapter.
I had this happen twice before I started to do manual saves, it's not ideal but who the fuck knows when DICE will fix the game. now I have all my MP unlocks and trophies and will never have to play that shitty SP ever again.

What the fuck am I doing wrong? I have the China rising code on PS4, I downloaded it, the system says it installed, and every time I try to play China Rising maps it tells me I need premium or to check to make sure it is installed?
Edit never mind, staggered release.

Well, BF3 on PS3 deleted my campaign progress every single time there was a patch or game update to the game and I'm pretty sure Battlefield has always had this issue with all their games. So I think it's safe to say it will never be fixed.

when your at the BF4 tab on the dashboard, scroll down to RelatedItems/Add-ons and download China Rising from there. I had to do this.

Yesterday every game I played was lagging bad, Bear in mind I have a 60mb fibre optic connection, Was annoying to say the least as it crashed aswell which hadn't happened for awhile.

I tried to play last night and could only deal with 2 matches the lagging was awful. Just gave up.
So, has anyone tried to play through the campaign without connecting the ps4 to the net, to avoid the updates ?
I have this beauty
But of course DICE lazy devs dont support it!
Gonna try using the PC battlelog then. =/
I actually like the Battlelog features to be honest.

So yeah instead of kill trading now I unload into someone from behind and they turn and kill me and killcam shows them on 1 health. Every damn time. Added bonus is if someone finishes them I get counts as kill 100 damage. I feel dice is trolling me.

Yeah it was frustrating so I gave up and played warframe, I'll try B4 later and see if its still lagging.

Happens too a lot and seems more frequent now as never experienced lag or the game just not loading and staying on the screen before. Such a shame as its a great experience for newbies like me.
That is a lag/sync issue. Dunno how much can it be fixed to be honest.

Yeah I get that but as I'm on a fibre connection playing on 'local' servers it seems odd to constantly come out on the losing end when I'm backshooting people.
I haven't had a crash for quite a while, but stats and unlocks aren't tracking properly. For example, I did the challenge to unlock the MTAR, and I can still use it days later but it's saying I never completed the challenge. Also, I leveled to 32 with 2 minutes left in a round, didn't change servers, and the next map I needed to get about 1000 more XP to level up to 32 again. Shits fucked up beyond just crashes and connection.

Use the web browser on your PS4 for Battlelog.
It actually works ok, double tap the PS button and your into and out of the game.

Have they adressed the performance issues at all?

I have learned that I can avoid crashes by just playing Rush. Anytime I play Conquest a crash is bound to happen in a short period of time (usually within an hour).
How do you do this?

Sometimes I play 1 to 3 matches, but I'll not play it so much until it get fixed. Not even the campaing, because I do not have that much time to waste in a big frustration of losing all my proggress.
Im actually playing Killzone MP and Knack, and am having lots of fun and challenge with both. DICE is taking TOO LONG to fix those BF4 issues already. Its a trully shame... my 1st BF (besides my BF3 of IGC, and Humble Bundle) and if it does not get fixed, will probably be my last one. The game itself os great, but unprogressible!

I guess i must be one of the lucky ones... I see so many people saying how unplayable this game is but I've only crashed a couple times and only noticed a bit of rubberbanding in 64 player games.

This is unacceptable. I paid $50, in part, to get the maps early. If I actually want to play them, I either need to have an app on my phone, or go to an external web browser? No.
No no no no no.
I am the ultimate sucker. Bought this digitally on PS3 for $60, paid $10 to upgrade digitally on PS4, and have now paid $50 for Premium. I can't return or resell any of it. That's $120.

I had my first crash yesterday while playing Rush. I also lost my entire Campaign progress too. When working, this game is fantastic but my god it needed more time to be finished.
Evolved1
make sure the pudding isn't too soggy but that just ruins everything
I have the digital version... really don't want to re-DL the game again. It would be the third time now.
Idk, if I get to the end of the month and still have room on the data cap, maybe I will. I actually spend a ton of time in test range shooting the barrels and targets with various weapons. Some days I will spend more time in test range than the mp-proper.
So it's quite annoying that it's not working for me atm.

Emblems seem to be working now, i can see them on my guns.
i think you also get Field Upgrade points for squad revives, heals, ammo pickups, and doing good in the same vehicle.

I really wanted to play some BF4 last night (PS4). Three crashes later I cut off the PS4 and went back to the PC. Awesome stuff.
same here, but I dont think I'll be trying the campaign again until the issues are completely fixed
Yea the game is great and you can have so much fun when it's working, just hoping it would work more often than it currently does.
Has anyone had any trouble joining capture the flag from the quick match menu? says that I'm missing 1 or more DLCs played on the server
Are we supposed to get the 1.05 "trading-fix" patch today?
I believe we need Second Assault, which isn't out yet for PS4.

Basically identical to the pc list without the pc dedicated changes of course.

Pretty stupid to have the mode on there and we cant play it yet
I got this yesterday. Out of 5, 64 player conquest matches, one crashed.
Im really not liking the maps iv played so far though, well my first impressions of them atleast. And visually, theres lots of bugs with pop in, and textures doing some crazy glitchy shit.
From what iv played so far, it really does feel unfinished in many areas.. its the worst quality BF game iv played so far. I hope they sort it out, because atm id rather play BF3 on pc.

Is it crashing on you?
Same here re: digital... Ugh, I think I've had it crash once on the test range and I wasn't even in front of it... But yeah, i do the same think. I'll tinker with my load outs & mods and then plink and experiment.
I'm glad I finally have somewhere to practice with the choppers but I still need to go on some unranked servers to practice flying between skyscrapers and such.
The bug is fixed i think, but corrupted saves are corrupted for good. You better start over bud.

I'm glad to see the patches are keeping parity with the PC and that they're coming in frequently

That is one thing I will concede to EA and Dice on this game. At least, they are trying to fix this.
