I keep hearing things about the game having issues. I might get it for PC, what the current state of things? Edit: Went ahead and bought it. Haven’t had any problems yet, but I’ve only played for about 2 hours. ---

Well, I bought it today and to say it is bugless would be a lie. For example, I was playing today when suddenly I went into spectator (while playing the game). I could see myself not moving while spectating another guy. I then saw myself get knifed through someone else’s perspective, haha! I could still shoot where I was aiming before I went into spectator, but couldn’t move anything. All the issues aside it is one of the most fun games I have ever played, buy it OP. ---

I currently play on PC. The only issues I have had were crashing issues but that has all stopped. I haven’t crashed in awhile and when I do crash it’s usually because I alt-tabbed or something. Totally worth the money, though. One of the best FPS games out there right now. ---

It’s practically unplayable. After the last update I can’t join a single mp match without getting kicked out 30 seconds in. Also when I played campaign it corrupted my save and I had to start over. Also crashes frequently when I play, aka it just closes the game and goes back to the ps menu. I would wait if I were you ---

I play on PC. It’s kind of a toss up in my opinion. I can go 2 hours without a crash, and I can go two hours with it crashing 5-times. Its extremely fun, and more than worth the money. But I feel like the game is still broken in some ways. ---

Getting kicked out 30 seconds in is often related to PunkBuster. Download PBSetup from [http://www.punkbuster.com/](http://www.punkbuster.com/) then add Battlefield 4 to its update list, then click Check for Updates. As long as I make sure to do this, I never have an issue with getting kicked out of a server. ---

My game have been running just fine, ofc i had a few crashes now and then, but with the last Update, i’ve been having lagspikes and FPS drops like a motherfucker, really messes up the game for me atm. But hopefully it will pass 😛 ---

Crashes, lots and lots of crashes, Serious texture and sound issues. Absolutely terrible balance between vehicles vs vehicles and vehicles vs infantry. Insta locking missiles with no warning are rampant, getting stuck on small objects. Oh and of course the netcode is atrocious. Basically think of every bug in BF3 and yep… its in BF4 but worse. ---

I’ve not been able to finish a round in the past 4 maps because of the client crashes that are now happening on every single map. Before it used to be only siege of shanghai that was unplayable. now it’s the entire game. the rubberbanding and other bugs i can deal with. Client crashes all the fucking time not so much. ---

i wish i could say the same. 4 crashes in 4 maps in a row. Besides, you should be able to alt tab all you want. ---

Last patch broke this game, can’t play longer than 30 seconds w/o crash ---

I’m getting the same thing on my Xbox One. It’ll randomly just kick me back to the dash in the middle of a MP match. Haven’t had any issues with the campaign yet but I’ve only completed the first level so that’s subject to change. ---

Ive played quite a bit on PS3. It has frozen once. Not a huge deal to me. ---

On an xbone. Its unplayable, the game crashes to the home screen after 15 minutes making progress in mp impossible. Trying to get into a game is a lesson in futility, between unable to join connection errors and no free commander slots you spend more time on the menu screen. I would not recommend this game at this point? ---

Getting shot consistently through walls comes to mind. Kind of a deal breaker. And no, it’s not lag, latency is fine. ---

Campaign progress doesn’t save if you turn off the game/system it gets deleted and you have to start over. If I’d actually paid for the game id be pretty pissed about it but I got it when future shop / best buy were doing their trade promo.
