Battlefield 4

Nice one Mr Hog!

No doubt still a "few" more patches to come after this one ;-)

 

Jan 15 Xbox One Game Update Notes:

- Various fixes for improving general stability...

- Fixed various random deadlocks (the so called "sound loop crash")

- Fixed flickering in map and minimap on Rogue Transmission and Operation Locker

- Fixed issue with player spawning under the map in Lancang Dam

- Fixed broken collision on containers with open doors. The bug previously made grenades bounce back even though the doors were open

- Fixed an occasional bug where players could experience intermittent engine sound dropouts when driving wheeled IFVs

- Fixed camera glitch when switching weapons while moving in crouch

China Rising: Fixed animation glitch for motorbike passengers ocuring when aiming

- Increased damage by 25 per cent for the Stealth Jet 20mm cannons

- Normalized repair rates across all vehicles. Vehicles with lower health points, like aircraft and transport vehicles, now repair more slowly than before

- Fixed a bug where the M1 Abrams Coaxial HMG ammo box was occasionally blocking the driver's camera

- Fix for friendly marker not always showing when needed to, resulting in players shooting team members

- Fixed problem with killer health in kill card not being correctly updated (showing 100 per cent health even though the soldier was hurt)

- Fixed a bug where players' rank icons in the scoreboard would not be updated

- Fixed issue with soldier health showing 1 HP in killcard instead of 0 HP

- Fixed a player feedback timing issue where blood was appearing before other damage indicators, and before damage was actually done

- Reduced the risk of single player campaign save file becoming corrupt

 

These people have had so much stick over this game, its nice to see them actively adding the fixes on a frequent basis. I say this a lot, but more in-depth open beta's in the future. I know BF4 had a beta, but the time between the beta and the release was
just too small a gap if you ask me.

With how bad it can be for a lot of gamers I think about a 10 year Beta should have been enough ;-)

[/quote] Quite frankly they deserved all the stick they got, I suffered minor problems compared to some but I would say that it is only now at the stage they should have released it at. It was clear they rushed it out either to coincide with the consoles release
or to beat COD and its backfired on them in a big way. Hopefully some of the money grabbing execs have learned a lesson but somehow I doubt it......

 

It looks like they may have cracked it. It ran like a dream last night.

Totally agree.

Also if what has been said is true ( Apparently EA/DICE own staff have said it was originally meant to be released in March 2014 ) then another reason I believe they rushed it out was because of Titanfall releasing in March.

Now I'm not saying Titanfall will be a better game, who knows but with the hype surrounding it would EA/DICE wanted to release along side and risk sales? I doubt it. Saying that, if EA/DICE had faith in their product then maybe it would have been a different
story.

I guess the main thing now is the game is starting to run how it should but I'm still shocked that any company, especially one as big as EA/DICE released Battlefield 4 in such a shocking state but when people have the £$£$ floating around their eyes then I
guess it's not that surprising.

 

I'm not shocked at all tbh.... I don't think there's been a single BF launch on console where the game hasn't been broken in some way or another.

 

Multiplayers been working brilliantly for me over the last couple of weeks, but i've still not attempted the SP since losing progress last time - can anyone confirm if its fixed yet? cheers!

 

@ Hog - I am with you as in I am awaiting to see if this is really fixed...................I dont want to start again and again....I am sick to death of playing the first few missions over and over again......................fingers crossed its fixed this
time.

I can't say myself mate but I see a few posts yesterday on Xbox.com where people have still reported losing their progress so it doesn't look like it's fixed yet.

 

I know someone who lost progress post-patch, so it's not really fixed at all.

 

Cheers folks! guess i'll hold off then. Thankfully the MP is running great for me now

 

Going to have a go at finishing the single player tonight. Let you know how it goes!

 

So my SP progress has been reset so many time I haven't got it in me to start and then have my data wiped again. Has anyone had any luck with it lately? I want to complete it but just can't justify try to complete it 6 or 7th time.
