Yeah that's just how Battlefield is. There's a reason the ranking up trophy is only for getting to rank 25.

Is the campaign save corruption still happening or am I safe?
You might be in for some headaches but hopefully you can ring up ea support and they will link your psn to a new account. Here's my horseshit ordeal with them (though it didn't really matter as the game doesnt work reliably anyways)

Seems better than a couple days ago. I only crashed when I was loading to the next map not in the middle of a match so I would l lose whatever I unlocked. I don't remember dying so quickly after spawning though.
No, you're not the only one. I remembered it being slow in the last Battlefield I played (Bad Company 2), but this time it seems even slower. The cynic in me wonders if this is for EA to sell more battlepacks.
Don't open and take it back.

It is; it's broken on every platform.
They really shouldn't have released it in this state. I'm playing on PC and I'm lucky if I make it through a match without it crashing. Or worse, I play for 30mins then lose my progress, which happens more often than I'd like.
This is a common audio bug that's present in all versions of the game. While it happens on all maps, it's especially bad on Golmud Railway.
Take it back to the store. Now.
This happened to me, I didn't know it was a thing.
Lame, do you think they plan on fixing it? I had it happened on the Railway and another level I believe.
Im like embarrassed to show this consoles to my friends because this is the only game I own. I showed my friend the other night and it was pretty bad, major lag, sound going in and out, disconnect.
Sony should ban EA from offering premium until they fix the game itself. Its really unacceptable.

I remember my audio going out in BF3 sometimes and they never fixed that. So I would say not likely.
Still happening as far as I know.
I finally made it through the SP by turning off auto save uploading and disconnecting from PSN when I play. Every time I completed a mission I backed out of the game, reconnected to PSN and manually uploaded my save to the cloud. Then I signed out of PSN again and continued playing.
If your game does crash and your save gets corrupted, just delete it from the system and download the cloud save. It sucks having to replay part of a mission but it beats having to start from the beginning.

Why? I played 2 games in a row of Conquest Large yesterday and got an error. Then 5 rush games in a row yesterday. The game is fucking great when it works.

Decent work around there, but ultimately I gave up trying to wrestle with it and am waiting for a patch.
Yeah, it's definitely not ideal but at least it gave me a diversion while Conquest was unavailable.

This is exactly how I feel. I get so frustrated.

BWAHAHAHAHA
The aim assist in this game is fucking shameless and felonious. After playing a week of Killzone SF (which has no aim assist), and having not played any other console shooters in about 2 years (Crysis, Crysis 2, BF3, TF2 all played regularly on PC over that time)...this shit is embarrassing. Like 50% of my kills are headshots. Shit just locks onto the enemy and actually pulls the crosshairs along like they have magnets on them.
Can this be turned off? Or perhaps is there a "hardcore" game type or something like it that has aim assist disabled? I'm hoping so because it feels like I have training wheels on. I don't need your help to aim, DICE.

I just wish they'd solve all the multiplayer crashes. For now, I'm still playing the PS3 version, I just wish I didn't transfer my progress over when the game launched, because I'm levels ahead with far more unlocks now.

Yeah, I believe you can get into all the modes now (I haven't tried Air Superiority) through quick join. The server browser is still garbage and you are better off using the Battlelog if you want to find a game with a a few empty slots (if playing with friends).
The game still crashes fairly frequently, the chromatic aberration effect is distracting, there are a tonne of sound bugs and the 64 player matches have a lot of judder. However, 64 player conquest is amazing!

You can disable aim assist on your end, but that just means that you are likely going to come up short against anyone else who is using it. It is pretty powerful in this game and has ruined a few setups for me when there are two guys in close proximity (and the aim assist bounces around between them).
Funny, same experience with crashing at the end of a map multiple times myself. At least it's not in the middle I guess?

The only benefit is Microsoft and Sony will now be pushing for the fixes too, so hopefully they will drop by December.

Yes, I got a corrupted save last night. I am not sure why it is a big deal as you can just resync you old save from the cloud through the ps4 settings menu. worked for me last night. It's not ideal and they should fix it, but there is a quick solution.
I was able to play about 5 or so 64 player conquest matches last night, with only some lag/rubber banding for a part of one match. and then I eventually got booted with the error that corrupted my save.
I have only played a couple hardcore matches, but I am guessing aim assist is turned off for everyone in it? or no? Otherwise yeah it is pretty apparent. I had it turned off in bf3 but I would just get screwed a lot of the time

To anyone that own the PS4 version:
Should I exchange my sealed copy for the PS3 version and upgrade to the PS4 version after the game's been fixed or just get Killzone instead?
Amazon will have all of the version on sale for $25 during Black Friday week. Walmart will have it for $25 on Black Friday next week as well..Should I wait for this one instead of exchanging the PS4 version for the PS3 version/Killzone?

The worst thing about this is that it is exactly what it looks like when a rear-projection HDTV screen goes out of alignment. This happened to my old tv and I couldn't afford the repair for a while. Killzone 3 did this in their menus, too.

i was able to play 3 games of conquest perfectly fine and it was glorious!

Okay. I'll try it for a few matches just to see. I just feel dirty getting some of these kills. Too much help.

Had 2 conquest and 1 rush game error out in the span of a couple hours. Shameful and completely sad that this isn't getting more media attention.

Thats how i feel. I played almost all day today...Yet im rank 6... And i dont do horrible either im above average.. Yet i see people ranked 70.. I am in awe of how people do it. Maybe glitch?
Conquest seems to be getting more stable all the time...This morning i got kicked after each match, yet now i can play for as long as i want. Less lag too.
Although theres a really annoying glitch where i lose my footfall/breathing and vehicle driving plus some other noises that really annoys me.

I really wish they didnt feel the need to put it in. Its not necessary at all...but then people would have to really improve and that would turn too many people off.

Odd. Play TDM? You'll get lots of kills and in turn, lots of unlocks. I must have unlocked 4 or 5 guns and a bunch of attachments, scopes and grenades yesterday in a few hours.

The only time I turn this off is when using a sniper rifle, because it can mess up my aiming when multiple targets are in front of me. I tried turning it off when using other weapons, but it's just not a good idea, because I lost so many encounters. It seems unfair at first glance but don't forget that every other player will also have this on.

Geez, this is still a mess? I refuse to put this disc back into my PS4 until it gets resolved.
