The issue I had was that I could not load anything but conquest. All the maps were fine, but no other game type except conquest would load and play.

What I ended up doing to fix it:

1. Delete the downloaded patches as well as the 2g install file.

2. In the settings menu, choose storage, then press Y on the hard drive, this should bring up a prompt the has the option the clear the cache. Go ahead and clear it (BE CAREFUL NOT TO FORMAT!).

3. Reinsert the CD, reinstall game, re-download patches. After that it all seems to work right.

This worked for me, maybe it will for you too. I’m thinking it may be possible to fix most issues just by clearing the cache. What I think is happening is if the game hiccups and freezes while loading, it could be possibly corrupting something stored in temporary storage. Since the game defaults to loading from here rather than the CD, given that the files are present, then clearing them will pull fresh files from the CD.

As stated, this was my personal fix that worked for me, maybe it will help others, maybe it won’t, but I figured it was at least worth sharing. And also I’m not liable if you totally screw something up. Or lose your SP game saves. Or anything other undesirable consequences that may occur. Cheers all.

This is very helpful information, and is almost exactly what EA has suggested on the support forums. Unfortunately, this only fixes a certain kind of problem (the local ones). Despite all these efforts, the game still have a tendency (loves?) to freeze on Hainan Resort and Daybreaker as well as the other maps. This is server side or, at least, between the connection of client to server.

They’ve been implementing small back-end fixes to help ease this, but it’s going to require a patch and, according to unconfirmed sources, that’s a couple weeks away at best.

Try these suggestions from OP, and I hope they alleviate the majority of your problems. Either way, we’re up a certain creek without a paddle.

EDIT: Forgot to add something.

Also, DO NOT keep corrupted save files on your storage device. These, according to EA Moderators on the support forums, seem to exasperate the problem. Delete any corrupted files, and start fresh. With this said, I suggest you hold off on campaign, or complete what you’d like before resuming online play.
