Game Breaking bug in Battlefield 4.

I know its a pretty old game at this point, but I just casually decided to give the Single player campaign a go after many years. There is a game breaking bug in a campaign mission(early on,maybe mission 3 or 4), where you have to swim underwater to get deeper inside a carrier. I keep swimming forever without ever reaching !  

Here is a video I have uploaded on youtube:

Its probably a bug related to object collisions,is there a fix ?

  • The sad thing is, that glitch didn't exist years ago when the game is brand new. It didn't happen until later ( but by this point it's been around for years). And they have the audacity to just leave it like this.I bought a brand new PS4 Pro after losing my save data and I was NEVER ABLE TO FINISH THE GAME AGAIN. Just because they won't take 3 seconds to fix one simple glitch. Because they can't make money on it. How can you put a microtransaction on quality control? When they figure that out, they'll fix it. Until then we're boned.

  • Hi @alctraz99 ,

    Its maybe an old game, but still a lot of fun to be made with it !

    Unfortunately there are also (still) some old and known bugs in it, whereof quite many were left behind unfixed.

    The one you mention from the underwater diving in the campaign chapter is one of those.

    There was no solid workaround found for it.  It is merely random appearing.  Experienced it also myself twice.

    Only thing to do was to quit the campaign.  Then first try and play some normal gaming, go and try a segment of another Campaign chapter.  And then go back again to the Campaign chapter on the boat where you need to do the diving.  And then try again.  I tend to recall also on the PS4 platform that some said you could and should just keep swimming and swimming and you would come through underwater to exit point, so it was like everything suddenly moved in slowmotion.  Think there also was a part involving you to jolt the joystick repeatedly for the duration of the underwater swim, for the soldier to move forward.

    There is another known bug of similar type, when you get through the chapter with the Locker area, and you get outside the mountain edge and you have to jump across the scaffold.  If you are unlucky, then it will never recognize that you made that successful jump, so you are eternally stuck there.  Only way to "proceed" is to quit out of the Campaign environment and go back in and restart the Campaign and that chapter/segment.

    Best of luck soldier!
