Discus and support BF4 in XBoX on Consoles to solve the problem; @x24hrs2livex The crashes to the dashboard only happened to me when it was being downloaded and said "Ready to Start" but it wasn't completed yet.... Discussion in 'XBoX on Consoles' started by Stoyvensen, Jan 16, 2014.

    @x24hrs2livex The crashes to the dashboard only happened to me when it was being downloaded and said "Ready to Start" but it wasn't completed yet. After that the only issue I've had is when trying to play conquest it'll say Matchmaking... and then not start
    a match so you'll have to hit A and do it again till it finds one. The longest I've spent hitting A to find a match in conquest is like 3 actual minutes.

    :)

    I'm loving battlefield lately its the only game I have played last 2 weeks. There are some issues that I am having but the last couple of days they have seemed to dumb down a lot. Got rid of COD a few weeks ago as I thought it was horrible the maps were
    to big for a 6v6 and didn't really enjoy it at all, a few of the you tubers are saying Cod is dying and I would agree. Really recommend BF4. All my friends who have came to mine to see what the One is all about are amazed by it.

  5. @x24hrs2livex completely understand what you mean with not wanting to waste money of a game that might or might not work. Assassins Creed Black Flag's online does not work for me I have not been able to connect to the servers since I got it 3 weeks ago
    which means some single player stuff doesn't show up either. If you can try get a lend of BF4 off a friend for a couple of hours and see what you think of it and if you are having issues hold off on the purchase

  7. ^4 Player Conquest is just amazing, I'm a big Cod fan myself but BF4's online is something else. While the SP saves are still screwed, (Patch says partially fixed) I'm not sure about suggesting full price.

    BF4

    Currently BF4 is a fail for me.

    It had actually got stable over the last week - I think that is because the number of players online had dropped, during the holiday period I couldn't even get on any servers (after trying for 20 minutes - tried using Battlelog too). I'm not a Premium player
    hence I'm guessing other premium players were jumping the queue ahead of me constantly.

    Anyway, managed to play successfully during the past week - even though after about 3-4 games I would get dropped with "Lost connection to EA Servers". Note that I am in the UK - it may be that the USA players have less issues (?)

    But after the patch on Wednesday things have got worse - I still get dropped sometimes but now, when starting a new game, I sometimes get sent to a blank screen indefinitely (flashing cursor top-right)...and restarting the game doesn't resolve the issue (the
    issue sticks around for a while and then resolves itself eventually).

    Also - the matchmaking is still an utter joke. Never had so many one-sided BF games ever. All I play is Team Deathmatch - the easiest game to get matchmaking right on....just tally up players' KD ratios. It's not rocket science.

    I loved BF3 - but BF4 is the last Battlefield game I buy.

    BF works great if you use it a certain way..

    Use local servers... Use PC or Battlelog browser... Lower your network smoothing.. find a server that works fine... fav it... most of the issues of connectivity.. dashboarding... are all fixed...only issues now are in game... and are minor...

    You can do this....buy the game on disc (used).... play it... if you like it... keep it.. if you are a digital only... you can trade the disc in.... get $30 back...then repurchase a digital license to keep playing... if you dont like.. trade it in anyways...

    May I ask why one has to put in so much effort to find a match? I mean systems like COD, Gears and Halo work extremely well why does one have to put so much effort into finding a match on BF?

    its not alot of effort.... BF4 has a quick match.. click I want to play TDM.. off you go.... but with that you can put into a server from Oceania... (Im in the US).. with heavy lag..... and your options are limited... using the off game browser just seems
    to work better.... I made this video for some friends during the BAD times of getting into games..... and having a tablet next to you is even easier... I always have my tablet due to I use it for almost every game that has a companion app for BF.. the
    companion is a full screen mini map of the entire map.... very useful

    Ok well then that makes. Still seems like alot of trouble though. But if it reduces lag its fine, I guess.

    not only the lag.... but sometimes small lag is OK if you are in game/map you enjoy... also eliminates the wait time... (see how fast I was put in?).. and at GG yeah... I heard that update fixed a lot of those issues..I have yet to try...

    and sure you can wait... 24.. I mean I still have friends playing BF3 with full servers... people still play BC2...to some extent... and yeah.. after all the dlcs come out... they will come out with a buy everything one price... but the last DLC (known)
    to be released will be most likely Aug or Sept... and by that time... if you never played BF4... you will be outgunned and out matched.. as by then.. only the real hardcore fans still play....and you will end up not liking it... the learning cirve from COD
    to BF is not a curve but more of a sheer cliff...

    My advice.... find a friend who has it,,, and borrow it....

    BET WE ALL WISH FAMILY SHARE WAS STILL HERE HUH? HEY 24.. WANNA TRY BF4.. GO AHEAD... USE MY COPY...<sigh>

    Yes I've tried that - it helps, but it doesn't fix the issues. I still get thrown out of servers (mid-game) and sometimes while starting a new match the game goes to a blank screen and hangs.

    And just to be clear - the BF Companion has NEVER worked for me (X1 Smartglass running on a MS Surface Pro 2). It just hangs on the "Starting BF4 Companion".

    Let's be clear here - it's TWO MONTHS after this game was released and we're still having to bend over backwards to get into games (which often are totally unbalanced). BF4 is a failure - there's no way to sugar-coat this pill.

    So do the tens of thousands of us actually enjoying the game on a regular basis actually have broken machines?



    Maybe the problem doesn't actually lie with DICE and EA but rather your own personal set up?

    we all know the game was rushed to be out for nex gens... we all KNEW EA has the worst server structure in the world...It just seems more broke to some than others... I guess I am lucky to be on the it aint so bad side of the tracks... sure I encounter problems
    every now and then... but I have been around the console versions of BF since BF2 Modern Combat.. and TBH.. you expect some hiccups from them..
