Battlefield 4 PS4 multiplayer issues
- Thread starter MThanded
- Start date
I have the one that comes with the PS4, and audio starts working about 10 seconds into the match. Streaming data issue i guess.
Also the patch was a huge game changer for me, i can actually play now!! Played Conquest without freezes!!
And so far not a single sync'd Deaths or One Hit Kill !
Server browser still borked though T__T

there has to be a catch. people are saying the game doesn't crash as much anymore, but what's broken now?
You cant perfectly hide lag but theres a huge improvement for sure.
Well the in game server browser is still broken. I had to use Battlelog on PC to join Conquest and China Rising maps. =/

what if you tried port forwarding, manually opening specific ports on your router.
No crashes in 2-3 hours of Conquest for me yesterday as well. So fingers crossed.
I do think it's laggier since the last couple of patches, however. Then again, I've only just finally started playing Conquest so maybe it's down to that.
Still so much left to fix, though. Can see it still going on for months. And that's without even taken into consideration addressing balancing issues.

stock PS4 and it happens on some maps.
The internet will always lag, nothing anyone can really do about it. One of the benefits of client side hit registration is that if you aim at something that is displayed on your screen you'll be awarded the hit, even if the other guy thinks he got behind cover on time when he didn't.
If you get revived, you sometimes get to keep the Accept/Decline revive UI prompt while you continue on living.
Small catch, I'll take that if I get stability in return!

This I know, there will always be lag.
The amount of lag is unbearable though. 500+ millisecond lag with a dedicated server? One of those battlefield moments for sure, can't get that anywhere else.
Do you need/want a China Rising code?

I do need one, yes. TY in advance.
The patch notes said that its going to get fixed in the next build.If you get revived, you sometimes get to keep the Accept/Decline revive UI prompt while you continue on living.

Hopefully the in game Server browser gets fixed too.
That's the worst part about client side hit detection. Dying way behind corners.. fun. Seems to benefit people who lag more than anything too.
Since I'm in a complaining mood I'll point out that this whole "we fixed the kill trading!" claim in the patch notes is a complete joke. It seemed worse than ever this morning when I played. Why do they lie like this? They must think we're pretty dumb.
According to this post over on the Symthic forums, some graphical effects have been toned down.
Can't say I noticed this myself though, has anyone else?
Check PM.
I've been experiencing quite a lot of lag for the past few days. Everything on the map stops for a few seconds and then springs back. Blah. BF4 hasn't crashed at all in a few days though...
There really needs to be some sort of compensation and like someone suggested, free China Rising DLC would be a good start.

Anyone???
why dont you know what guns are in the game or not? especially the two most iconic modern american guns? the poster even specified the versions.
I'll PM you it in a few hours when I'm home.I'd love to get it
Next year. It's on hold until the game is stable, I would guesstimate sometime in January.
Thank you man! Christmas is coming early <3
I played a little last night, and I can't say I noticed any difference. I've never had the best eyes, though, so I can't say for sure.
Well, CR is 'free' if pre order. Second Assault, maps from the last game most definitely should be though.
I played for a few hours an hour ago and I didn't notice anything different in the environment, but I wasn't looking for it. Gotta check a bit later when I play again.

Just downloaded the Battlelog, made the scan. And when I try to enter at any game by my smartphone, I get this message: "You need to be online on PS4". But, Im online in my PS4... I also tried it with the BF4 app opened, and online. Not to mention that this battlelog app do not recognize my PS4 soldier. I already changed it at configurations, and it start always with my PS3 character...
Am I missing something, or it is one more broken system by EA/DICE?
Im starting to get sick of this Battlefield bs!

I tried it for the first time last night on iOS, and got the same thing. I haven't had a chance to look to see if this is an ongoing issue, or just a blip.
Bugs the shit out of me too. I keep thinking i'm still alive but have no control or something.

I want this game but I can't bring myself to pay for it until it's running well. Sounds like the latest patch should help but I want to wait a little more. Thanks for the updates guys.

Dedicated servers as we know them will not really exist on either Xbox or PS4. Most games will use a clientside server model, with the clients doing the bulk of the calculations along with hit registration and the servers being used mostly for traffic routing (Mitigate host advantage.) and matchmaking to save on bandwidth and CPU cycles.
There's nothing inherently wrong with this model, and indeed it has advantages and disadvantages over the standard server setup, your issue is that you got hit whilst in cover, when in fact your latency made it so the other guy legitimately hit you at his end and you actually weren't in cover in time.
Make sure you check your connection thoroughly for packet loss and jitter, you really don't want either of these if you want to make sure all your shots hit and on time.
I'm not sure how you can possibly know you have 500ms lag, well you would know because the game would be completely unplayable.

How bad is the frame rate in this game?
