I dont expect anyone will be able to help me but I need to vent. I have been waiting to play this game for a long time. I finally was able to buy it this month, and it is completely unplayable. The game is constantly stuck on the rainy screen when I press start, and so I cannot even navigate the menus. A few times I was able to get past it, but then I get continuous messages telling me that I have been signed out of PSN. This only occurs when I start bf4, otherwise the connection is fine. This means I cannot play a single match. I tried everything I could think of and nothing seems to help. Very disappointed.

I have narrowed down the problem. The game never prompts me to update, so I can never download the patch. The error message I get is apparently there because the game “cannot tell” if there is a patch that needs downloading. This means I have no chance to download the patches, and thus no chance to play.

I hear you there. Honestly with all the lack of games I feel like I spent $460 on battlefield. As for ps3… Dice should get their shit straight.

I had this issue and it was due to the fact that I had manually put in the DNS that I wanted to use. I just ended up resetting my modem and router and it solved the issue for me. However,I still get freezes all the time but that’s a different issue.
