Why hasn’t the “Top Issues Tracker” post been updated in almost 3 months? ---

Is the low framerate on Pearl Market also looked at? 🙂 ---

> [@](#): > > _denjoga said:_ > Why hasn’t the "Top Issues Tracker" post been updated in almost 3 months? We failed to do so (that’s the short answer). We have shifted how we work and what we talk about. I rather have open discussions like these during specific periods of all-affecting issues. The other items we will try and adress though usage of the CTE to make sure we do actually fix issues and not introduce more. ---

i hope you can also look at the netcode since the DLC launched. alot people expirienced alot more deaths behind cover, kill trades and oneshots than before. before the dlc is was fine, now it feels like we got the vanila netcode back. it only happend to me on dragon teeth maps. i was recently playing some vanila maps and the netcode was fine there. ( atleast for me ) ---

Yesterday, I noticed that when spawning in Lumpini Garden on the Conquest Large game mode, I’ve experienced an issue where all I can see is a weird teal background where I can’t see anything and the minimap is focused on a fixed position where I should’ve spawned as I can move my player icon in any direction. I was even shot and killed by an enemy while stuck in this glitch. I got this trying to spawn on the US deployment as well as trying to spawn on the C flag. I even experienced this twice on Sunken Dragon either when spawning on the Chinese deployment or when my EOD bot gets destroyed while controlling it from the deployment. This issue occurs randomly as I can’t reproduce this every single time and the platform I play on is Xbox One. Is there any word about this spawn glitch and if it will be fixed? ---

( atleast for me ) True. Also a reddit post on that. 🙂 [http://www.reddit.com/r/battlefield\_4/comments/2asmbz/does\_the\_netcode\_feel\_worse\_after\_the\_last\_patch/](http://www.reddit.com/r/battlefield_4/comments/2asmbz/does_the_netcode_feel_worse_after_the_last_patch/) [[reddit.com](http://reddit.com)] ---

And how do you get this error? when, etc? PC, Windows 7, rig directly plugged into the modem, all ports manually forwarded. Error appears completely random from what I can tell and persist until it equally randomly disappears. Have tried repairing the game (and every individual DLC), fresh reinstall of the game and all DLCs, updating PunkBuster, fresh reinstall of PunkBuster, fresh reinstall of the Battlelog plugin, fresh reinstall of Origin, disabling Origin ingame. I even did a fresh reinstall of my web browser (Firefox). Have tried restarting PC and powercycling modem. Nothing fixed the issue so I typically just left it and checked back a couple hours later. Usually the problem disappeared by then (though not always, or it had reappeared again, who knows). ---

( atleast for me ) We are monitoring this, yes - but it didn’t change with Dragon’s Teeth. If you see it happening now, you should have seen it since the 8th (when the patch was out - that’s where netcode changes could be). Maps themselves is not related to netcode in any particular way, and especially not behind cover. There could be other issues tho - as you think you are behind cover and it doesnt really stop bullets etc. ---

Usually the problem disappeared by then (though not always, or it had reappeared again, who knows). Ok, so you are saying it works sometimes but others not? And you get this failure in the game or in windows? (where do you see the error?). To me this looks like network hardware issue (especially if it comes and goes). ---

Sorry for posting so soon as I couldn’t edit my post, I forgot to mention that the players in my squad can spawn on me without any issues and that the only way to get out of this glitch is to either redeploy or be killed by an enemy. ---

Hey t1gge, have you guys tracked down the cause of more common PS4 crashes since the last patch? I’ve been getting common “CE” crashes on my PS4 this past week. However, before the patch I had gotten only 2 in about 4 months. ---
