Game goes haywire randomly. Video link provided

This has been happening with increasing frequency and intensity over the last couple weeks. It started with just some shaking on certain maps pretty regularly, but now seems to happen on any map at any time and is way more than shaking. It usually only lasts a couple minutes, but its completely out of control. Sometimes its just the regular shaking that happens, but sometimes it gets this bad. This is actual in game footage taken a few nights ago. Any ideas? I'm on XBox One hardwired to my router. I've checked my internet connection with a laptop while this is happening and both my ping and my up/down speeds are normal. It's also a Day One unit as well if that matters. I use the Kinect as well.

    Indeed this is a very wierd problem. Not sure whats causing it. Make sure your game is up to date, to be sure that you have all the latest updates. If you have the latest update try deleting the hard drive cache, just an idea.

    Steps to delete the Xbox One Hard Drive Cache:

    1. Power down your console
    2. Unplug the power cable from the back of the console.
    3. Wait for about 2 minutes
    4. Plug the power cable into the back of the console
    5.Wait for the power brick to go from a white light to an orange light
    6. Turn the power on.

    Note: This will perform a hard reset which will delete the cache.

    Also when did this start happening (e.g after a patch/update etc) If it started after an update it could be a problem with that particular update. Anyways get back to me.

    I do not. I'm using the Day One controller that came with the system. I have had weird issues with the controller, but not in a longwhile. For a brief period about 3 months after the system came out, My controller would (and this is the best I can describe it) "crash". It only did it a total of 3-4 times over a couple months. None of the buttons would work, and the trigger would fire my gun all on its own. Sometimes it would fire intermittenly and other times, it was as if the trigger was locked in the "fire" position. The only working feature was the analog sticks. I could move and look around normally, but that was all. I tried turning it on and off and even removing the batteries, but nothing fixed it until I restarted the entire XBox One. That makes me think it was just a weird glitch in the system OS or a problem with them communicating with one another, and since I haven't had that issue in a long while, I assumed it was resolved through an update at some point. If this were a controller issue, though, why would the minimap show me flying all over the map? Even to areas that are off limits in Domination mode. This seems like a BF4 issue with the game comunicating with the server more than an XB1 issue for that reason. Then again, I'm not a computer engineer 🙂 Add that to the fact that my game still freezes in a perma black screen between rounds making me force quit the game and restart it, my kits still do not save between rounds (sometimes), and various other annoying glitches... well, its hard to think it's a hardware issue. I love the game, and I'm a fan of the series, but lets face facts here; this game is still riddled with issues and its more likely to be BF4 than the controller.

    Hey there again. I don't think it could be the controller that is causing the problem. Anyways, what happened when you tried the workaround that I provided you with?

     armeennabavi:

    I tried what you suggested and so far I haven't had the issue happen again. However, I still need to wait a while to see if it happens again. It did not happen every play session. I did it last night and played afterwards for about an hour, and again for 2 hours this afternoon, and all seems good.  If it does not happen after about a week of play, then it should be fixed. My buddy has the same thing happen as well, though he hasn't experienced the severity that I did in that video. I will suggest the same thing to him and hopefully neither of us will have it happen again.  Thanks for the tip.

    So, it seemed to have worked for a while, but it must have been a coincidence, because its happening again and following these steps doesnt make any difference. It always seems to happen after I've been playing for a few rounds, and I just have to wait it out. This sucks.
