No really, still lots of crashing going on.

Quit playing on servers over 32 people. I was playing perfectly fine yesterday up until I joined you - that server crashed for me twice, didn't even bother getting back on after the second time.

aaaaaah damn that sucks man

I was like WTF I just joined on you and you bailed?!?!?!


then I was you pogo in the comm center as in game out of game and figured it was game related issues

Yeah, I was like wtf. That was the first crash I've gotten. I rebooted and still can't start up bf4. I may have to reinstall it :/

I've been having fun with the game. I get the memory leak issue that some have mentioned. As long as I exit the game after each round and rejoin, it seems to keep that from happening.

My favorite set of guns thus far is the DMR's. I was an M417 junkie in bf3, so they seem to suit my style of play.

If any of you want to join a friendly game or two with me, my origin and soldier name is B41T

Are "pistol only" servers controlled through scripting or server settings of some sort? I can't imagine it's manually governed by admins but I'm not familiar what the software lets you control.

Been some really stupid server setups lately. I've got kicked from maybe 5 because i did not follow dumb rules.

Seriously no explosives on conquest maps? rofl
No cursing in a rated for mature game. Lets stab people multiple times in the chest with a knife..but don't you dare curse at them when doing it.
No shotguns..sigh

From our server provider at 5am this morning, hopefully this will resolve the crashes.

BF4 server version R10 (90519) has been sent to us and DICE has asked us to deploy it immediately, so we're in the process of applying it to all servers now.

Yeah between the client and server patch hopefully all these crashes will go down to a manageable number. Some days it's terrible, multiple times per game, others I can go for hours w/o. Server size seems to be an issue, but I like 32-40 player servers on most maps so that's not a big deal.

No. Its not really basic, its extreme rules. They must have ban lists with thousands of players. No one looks at server rules, they jump in a play, and then after the fact you see you are banned. Hell I got banned from a server before for posting in forum telling them of a cheater on server..which is what they TELL you to to do. rofl

They should force servers to operate under a guideline of blacklist them.

Most of the "extreme rules" are in the name of the server, so claiming "I didn't read them" is rather silly. And I hardly think you're banned on your first offense, or even banned at all. Probably just kicked. If you were paying attention to the chat, I'm sure people were warning you to stop doing whatever you were doing.

They pay for the server, so they can set whatever rules they wish. With thousands of server options it's probably for the best anyway. I don't need to play on servers with overly bearing admins. I was banned from two in BF3 for reasons unknown to me, but I got by just fine. The best is when you're banned from a server with "no rules" in the title of the name.

I fairness, when you join a friend, you can't see the entire server name. I've had that issues once or twice.

Happens to me too. There are no rules, except make sure you don't kill the admins too many times and make the admins team win.

In your server browser, check "Official" servers. These servers are not able to implement any custom rules, kick or ban players.

Oh no vulgar language

and no explosives

Other than that, NO RULES!!!

Seen a few of these.

I learned the hard way to click the server name under friends in commcenter before joining so I quit ending up on weird servers

have a friend that plays on 'christian' servers with no language and lots of weapons rules that I got tired of accidentally joining



there are of course places that poorly advertise rules or have asshole admins

when the game fist came out I almost got banned from one for bitching about the server, we didn't know that rubberbanding was a random ass problem then, and I wasn't happy with it!

My friends and I once ended up on a Christian server accidentally, it was fine but every now and then there would be an announcement message on the screen advertising their weekly Ventrilo Bible readings which we thought was just so awesome lol.

This!^ It's my way or the highway when I own servers, and I expect the same treatment on any server I play on. I would always have my admins- warn, kick, then ban - in that order if any shenanigans other than cheating persisted. Confirmed cheating of course was an insta-ban.

I too have been a victim of servers with idiotic rules and/or admins, but like you said my ban works out fine for all involved. I dont have to worry about joining thier douchebag server again and they dont have to worry about me tearing them a new one in chat.

Aaaaand crashes and audio issues still, at least for me.

I was watching the SOC guys play after installing the patch, and one of them crashed in their first game.

I don't know what it is but the in game VOIP is so quiet for me. I turned up the VOIP volume all the way and mute sounds on voip is on but I can barely hear you or Childs (or anyone else) if I'm doing something other than standing around doing nothing in a quiet place.

Yeah, sometimes I can't really hear other people either. I cranked my mic volume all the way up, but then I started hearing myself in other people's sound.

Quit playing on servers over 32 people. I was playing perfectly fine yesterday up until I joined you - that server crashed for me twice, didn't even bother getting back on after the second time.

hahaha Blame McLovin! I usually just join other people's games if there is space.

This is pathetic for a biannual release. I can't quite boycott DICE/EA but from now on I'll wait for them to sort things out no matter how long it takes before I buy their stuff.

All the bugs I noticed before the patches are still present as well as the crashes and the audio issues. I'll take a wild guess and assume whatever department is is supposed to work on this is either incompetent or seriously understaffed.

Get in the M1A1 Abrams after selecting the HMG as secondary weapon. Enjoy the ammo box blocking the view. Switch the camera view for a workaround unless you re playing HC in which case forget driving US tanks.

As far as I am concerned, this is a $120 beta.

The best part of all of this is that some of these bugs existed in BF3 and were fixed.
