Battlefield 4/ PS4 why it won’t pass this screen

The app launches then it stays stuck in the rain for aprox 2 sec with the battlefield theme playing. But then I get the black screen right before the game start with the dash on the top right corner—...

@Matadora187 you can check if that console where it's not working on is set as your Primary PS4 or not.

Maybe that can also effects certain games if it's not your primary one.

Not sure tho, just as guess. 🙂

Hi Travis, I can confirm that both PS4/5 works fine for BF4 no matter if the console is set as your primary console or not.

Of course a valid PSN subscription needs to be present for the MP environment, but even if it is not, then you dont get that type of hanging error as @Matadora187 experiences.  You actually get a nice clean error message on your PSN subscription is not active, if that was the case.  Or that you do not have a primary account owner assigned to the console.  And as you know, you can still  start the BF4 app perfectly fine and also play aka the Campaign without going online with PSN/EA.

I will try both. I got the console from my nephew who no longer uses it. I don’t believe it is set as my primary. Thank you both for your input. 

I did get this error message after many attempts.

    @Matadora187 So that i get this right, you tried to login with the same PSN account on two PS4's and on one the game starts and on one it doesn't?

    Greets,

      My nephew has the PS4 PRO & he gave me his old PS4. But when I play battlefield 4 on his console it works perfectly fine but not on mine.

        Hi @Matadora187 ,

        You refer to an error message that you got, but think you didn't manage to post the screenshot please of that error message?

        From the symptoms alone, then there are two options for what potentially needs a little tweaking for you to fix that error situation:

        1. The error is caused by corrupted local data files on your PS4, which can be fixed by doing the reset of the cached memory files, as I described the steps for above.
        2. The error is caused by a bugged server player list buffer.  This will typically result in the player getting a message saying like 'Error 1..." when tryin to join a given server.  This unfortunately takes that you get in contact with the server owner, who needs to reset the server before you will be able to join it again.  At times, you will not get any error message at all, in this bugged situation.  Your PS4 will simply just keep hanging in this error situation with the cursor flashing in the top right corner.

        Let us know how it goes!
