Have to quit playing BF4 bcz of server crashes...

Battlefield 4 seemingly suffers from server crashes on PlayStation on daily basis. It's become more common in recent months, that game abruptly disconnects through extreme lagging everyone out off the lobby.

Have to quit playing game alltogether and move to other games. Unbearable issue, that persist and prevents fun.

    I have reported the issue further on, someone will look into it if the issue is related to EA.

    this seems AWFULLY similar to the incident in feb-march of this year where the game was completely unplayable during daylight hours in china... here we go again!

  • Seems to be happening on all platforms for Battlefield 4, can't play more than 5-10 minutes before the whole server falls over kicking everyone out. There was someone claiming in in-game chat that it is a new vulnerability being exploited rather than a bug/issue with the server back end, and that it can be used against other BF titles as well, but no idea if there is anything to that.

    Interesting. It happens to whole server where I'm playing, every player affected. They'll get kicked out of server sooner or later once heavy lagging occurs. There should be multiple reports by now.

    This is only game where it happens, newer Battlefield games work just fine. Same with other multiplayer games.

  • Hello DandereMankyTomi​,

    This is the first report regarding this issue. Make sure your internet connection is stable, also check your console if it's overheating.

  • That is unfortunate. BF4 is a small but strong community holding it down, server issues will happen. Hopefully it will get fixed.

  • Is there any method one can ensure, that they can keep playing despite lagging? Or is server collapse unavoidable fate once issue occurs? Why nobody voices their frustration with the issue? 

    Battlefield 4 is without doubt best experience of Battlefield available on PlayStation. It saddens me how this devilish situation remains unfixed. I'll try play and see today if can game even one full match without an error.
