I must say that I feel a bit exhausted with all the crappy experiences I had since I bought this game.

Some might say that certain people complain easily but really… I’m a nice and comprehensive guy but taking time to download some patch and systematically have a new issue with it feels like some a**rape.

I had the following issues repeatedly :

Awful spawns that make you think that it would be better to just have on death added immediately

Opponents taking a full clip op primary weapon and a half one of secondary and not even showing a hit marker

This same opponent turning back and shooting sooo fast that you fall dead even before you could get the sound of the first shot

Being blocked on a piece of pavement or anything 1 cm high but still high enough to prevent you to go forward

The same piece of "something" not letting you to jump over it without trying at least 3 or 4 times

Opponents getting hit and showing multiple hit markers and finishing with at least 2 or 3 times too much hp than they should

Game crashes

Sound coming and going after a patch

Game suddenly in windowed mode and just giving some flashing backrground picture with no possibility to start after another patch

Multiple servers crashes with all your progression lost for sometimes a really long time

Getting kille in action for absolutely no reason at all, just loke this

Impossibility to revive somebody still showing the marker telling you it should be possible

Getting killed a long time (it’s relative of course) after going behind something like a 3 meters wall or a container

… and I’m pretty sur I forget a lot of them.

So I don’t want to be mean or anything like this, I love this game and that’s why I feel like insulting some of the developers sometimes, I mean, is it normal that I am asked to download a patch that creates a new problem every single time???

I wanted to buy Premium but thought I should wait unitl the game is fixed, no I nearly feel like I should sell the game and find something else that won’t ruin my scarce leisure time by upsetting me so much!!!

So, sorry for being so long but please… fix what could be a great game before everybody leaves !!!

I totally agree with you I still can not get passed the black loading screen on any map in Second Assault

yes indeed, very annoying. MANY peeople are getting this error

Khaotic_trickzz · February 25, 2014, 7:04pm

Im in the same boat as you

artnat · February 25, 2014, 7:05pm

Why isn’t there a huge red banner saying that? Why did I need to search for that on forums?

Mine will randomly crash during a game. No particular time.

Running i7 3770
SLi GTX 660ti (STOCK CLOCKS)
8GB RAM
Windows 8.1

All drivers are up to date.

This game still doesn’t work. I managed to reduce the number of crashes I had to about one every three games by turning off Antialiasing deffered.

Since your patch today, the .exe crashes every game.

Excellent work.

Really, buying BF4 is like buying the Ferrari of games but then you lift the hood to find out that the engine has been replaced with poo rolled in glitter.

Sort it out Dice, you’re trolling your customers.

GTX 780TI

mine crashes with blackscreen for a quick second then to a little window that says battlefield has stopped working with the little bar that goes across

Sindersblue · February 25, 2014, 7:25pm

Not experiencing crashes, but the game randomly freezes for about 2 to 3 seconds at a time.

The_OBsIV · February 25, 2014, 7:27pm

I can t play test range anymore!

ROTCrazytrain1 · February 25, 2014, 7:30pm

for real omg i never tried that

ShrimP4nse · February 25, 2014, 7:30pm

DELETE YOUR USER.CFG

Jakalistix · February 25, 2014, 7:30pm

you looking in the wrong place

search for battlefield4 folder

BF4 (PC) locks up when joining multiplayer servers. Spawn map doesn’t completely load (still “faded out”). Eventually slows to a crawl. If I act quickly, I can alt-f4 repeatedly to quit the game. Otherwise, have to hard reset/reboot. I CAN load the test range.

Specs:
dual EVGA GTX 760 in SLI (Latest drivers - 334.89)
i7-3930
16GB ram
Windows 8.0

Nothing is overclocked. Running BF4 in 64-bit as administrator. Did not have the user.cfg workaround file.

UPDATE: I am able to load the game from Firefox, but not Chrome. I disabled all plug-ins in both browsers (except for the BF4-related ones) and could not load the spawn map (still) in Chrome. I guess there’s a use for Firefox afterall

The_OBsIV · February 25, 2014, 7:33pm

I don’t and I didn’t ever had a USER.CFG.
The game keep loading when I want to join a server
Any suggestions

MiiiiCRO · February 25, 2014, 7:34pm

Crash to desktop, after this patch… No big issues before now Battefield crash with task manager error “stopped responding” … Whats up! Tried editing user.cfg no GO …

KennyFcknPowers · February 25, 2014, 7:40pm

Worked for me. Or at least loads the map now. Will give it a test run after dinner. Thanks for the workaround

Jakalistix · February 25, 2014, 7:40pm

find battlefield4 folder

open user.cfg in notepad

DELETE THIS LINE: UI.DrawEnable 1

voila…
