BF4 Freezing Xbox 360

I know this is a known issue but I have to vent my frustration as this is now beyond a joke and unacceptable. After installing the MP 8 update the game is completely broken and freezes literally every round. It freezes in game, every time a server changes map and it is 50/50 if a game will even load. Since updating the patch I have not been able to complete a single round without a freeze and even more to this I just spent my money on the Second Assault DLC!!!.

I have not yet been able to play this content because as above the game constantly freezes. This game has been out long enough for this to be fixed and it is totally unacceptable to have content available for a game that you cannot use because the game is broken. When is this issue going to be fixed because at present I have no faith in EA or the BF franchise after spending my money and this happening.

I know I am only one guy but I hope that this can be taken as most of the community feel like this and the game will be fixed promptly.

Regards

Rich

    Hi All

    I did the below and it works fine now!

    Some Xbox 360 players have been successful in resolving these issues after going through the following steps:

    • From the Xbox Dashboard, head to Settings, then System, and select Storage 
    • From Storage, select your hard drive, then Games and Apps, and find your Battlefield 4 file folder 
    • In your Battlefield 4 folder, delete all game updates (except for the title update 6MB) .
      • Be careful not to delete any other game data, such as your expansion packs or profiles saves--unless they are corrupted, at which point you should then delete and redownload them.
    • Once you have deleted all your game updates, return to the Storage menu, highlight your hard drive and Y to bring up Device Options 
    • In your Device Options, select Clear System Cache to run maintenance on your console--this should last about 20 seconds at most. 
    • Once your system cache has been cleared, you should be able to play Battlefield 4 without error
    • When launching your game, you will be asked to again download the March 4th game update, titled  Update 8.

    I had this problem and the above fixed it!!!

    I also have this same exact problem and I have tried all of these steps to help fix it but they have not worked at all. I have an Xbox 360 S so is there any way you could help me out?

    Also be sure to install both DVDs to the 360's HDD and if at all possible play using a wired connection instead of using a wireless connection.

    cronikcraze, just to be sure, you have the 250 or 320 GB internal 360 Slim HDD correct? if not Bf4 requires this internal HDD to function properly.

    No Probs, i was frustrated but now this has made the game not only work but run better aswell !! keep clearing your system cache and removing old updates has helped greatly.

    Happy hunting :-)

    Tried it and it still freezes half way through a game, usually when I'm doing well
