Re: Battlefield 4

How exactly can you get this to work? I have that separate PS4 section on battlelog, but almost none of my friends show up on that list. I think only one or two show up in that section. Does the server need to have open spots before they appear?

Last night I saw everyone on my PS4 list who was on. That was my first time trying it. It showed people who's game's were full as well because when I tried to join some people it said that the game was full. Make sure you refresh the page too, because it was not automatically adding people to that list, but would add them once I refreshed the page.

Re: Battlefield 4

They need to fix the netcode for the PC. I get a ping of 23 and get killed by someone thats 110 when I get the jump on him....I usually empty half a clip to take someone down....

This happens WAAAY to often...

Strange thing is I have no issue with the PS4 version and I'm able to drop two guys at the same time.

I have these same problems on the PS4, I'm amazed you don't. I get 1-hit killed all the damn time (despite them saying it was fixed), and I'll pump full clips into people and either kill them right before I have to reload or they'll turn and shoot me once and kill me.

I feel like the hit detection was more accurate when I was using WiFi on my PS3. Somehow a better connection degrades your ability to align with the action.

Are you able to see all your PS4 friends as well when you click the "View Offline friends" under the Playstation 4 section in battlelog? Right now only four of my PS4 friends show up there (I'll assume the same ones that show up when online as well).

None of those 4 are also my battlelog friends (I assume that's why they fall in the separate PS4 section). But why are only those four showing up there? Apologies if you don't know why, I'm asking more generally if this is just a glitch of some sort or if anyone knows a fix.

I'll do a little test later when some people are online.

Re: Battlefield 4

Not sure if this had been posted yet, but DICE put together a list of the top issues and their statuses.

http://battlelog.battlefield.com/bf4/forum/threadview/2955065670203355766/

A few highlights:

EDIT DEC 11:
EMP Blur effect fix is live on some platforms, and will be live in next patch on remaining platforms
PS4 quit and restart save corruption is live in next PS4 patch


Bug accounting for a quarter of the crashes on PS4
Platform(s): PS4
Status: Fix live

EMP blur effect
Platform(s): All
Status: Fix live/in next patch

One-hit kill bug where players sometimes take damage twice from the same bullet
Platform(s): All
Status: Fix live/in next patch

4X damage from miniguns when using Defensive specialization
Platform(s): All
Status: Fixing


Bug accounting for a majority of crashes on next-gen/PC
Platform(s): PC, PS4, X1
Status: Fixing


Desynchronized game world where objects have different states for different players
Platform(s): All
Status: Investigating


Hit markers and crosshairs sometimes disappear
Platform(s): PC
Status: Investigating


Rubber banding issues for some players with solid Internet connections
Platform(s): All
Status: Investigating


Some instances of no hit effects and no damage to opponent in your sights
Platform(s): All
Status: Investigating


Damage received is sometimes delayed by a few frames
Platform(s): All
Status: Investigating


Statuses explained
INVESTIGATING means we are aware of a specific issue and working to reproduce it. Often, getting a solid reproduction is what actually allows us to eliminate a bug in the end.

FIXING means that we have been able to reproduce an issue and are working on a fix. This might be a simple line of code or a larger task. Once we have the solution, we code, test and get it live. An issue with the label FIXING is on its way to being resolved.

FIX LIVE means that we have fixed the issue in a patch that has already gone live. For example, we had a bug that accounted for a quarter of all crashes on PS4. That issue was fixed in the latest PS4 game update that went live Dec 5. Many other issues are already addressed.

Yes, I am able to see all my PS4 friends when I click "View Offline Friends." Not sure why it is not working the same for you.

Re: Battlefield 4

Yay, audio in the big maps. I'll be on for awhile tonight after catching up on SoA. I'm gonna try and grind my way to level 30.

Re: Battlefield 4

I've read through this board but I'm not following as it pertains to being able to talk to my squad via party chat?

Kinda confused as to how to get this to work! And do the Pulse Elites work yet wireless?

[Fresh Tendrils]

Re: Battlefield 4

If a squad member is not in your party chat you can't really communicate currently. So either go all in for party chat or just chat through the game.

Re: Battlefield 4

I got the CE last night with the blue screen again. I was in Conquest on Siege. I was on a role last night too when it happened. The blue screen usually takes the wind out of my sails and I just quit after it happens.

It's getting beyond frustrating.

The game is at least playable on PC now. At launch it was terrible. The netcode issues that exist may never get solved so to counter I play over cautious.

The bullet spread in the game is so random now and that is what looks like got him killed a couple of times in the video. He's using a LMG while moving so it just makes matters worse. On top of that the ADS mechanic either changed from BF3 or it is bugged. It takes a second for ADS to give you the aim bonus before you fire and if you ADS while hip firing first you will not get get the bonus.

Re: Battlefield 4

At least they're looking into the issue. It appears that it could be related to a few of the items listed on their top issues list ("Some instances of no hit effects and no damage to opponent in your sights
", "Damage received is sometimes delayed by a few frames"). I think the problems in the video will be resolved eventually.

Re: Battlefield 4

Dice and EA really blew it with this release. Has really set the franchise back in my opinion. Damage has been done.
