Re: Known Battlefield 4 Issues and Next Steps (Updated: Mar 25)

PS4 SP save still just disappearing how can you not get a save file saved it's a joke.

This game is not fit for purpose and you were thing of going yearly instead of this beata we would get a Alpha release.

Also you have the cheek to annoy me with adverts for premium you think we are all stupid.

Update #28 (Dec 16) - R16 Server Update Notes

I really hope you did something about the rubberbanding thing that drives people (including me) mad!!

Good day! Ever since the update, terrain textures that are far away have been flickering like mad! 

My system is an AMD Phenom II X6 1100T, HD6850 Crossfire, 8 GB RAM and I'm using the latest beta drivers (13.11 beta v9.5) from AMD. 

Update #29 (Dec 16) - PC Game Update Notes 

We’ve rolled out a new PC game update and will continue to make improvements based on your feedback. The update includes fixes with the aim to increase the general stability of the game, and eliminates bugs that you may have experienced. It also includes an improvement to the so called “Netcode”. 

UPDATE: We have noticed that players who have SLI enabled on their graphics card may experience graphical flickering. Also, we're looking into the issue where the revive bar would get stuck on-screen in some instances. Both of these have our attention, and we're investigating them.

Dec 16 PC Game Update Notes 

• Fix for a crash that would cause the game to stall, resulting in a sound loop. This should eliminate most of the problems relating to this. 
• Fix for the SUAV (introduced in the China Rising expansion pack) not exploding when hitting enemy soldiers. While these indeed should be deadly, they were never designed for “roadkilling” opponents. 
• Fixed one of the issues related to the so called “Netcode” (see below for details) 
• Fix for player tags not always showing when needed to, resulting in players shooting team members. 
• Fix for graphical flickering appearing on terrain. 
• Fixed the instance where players suddenly would transition into Spectator Mode while playing the Defuse game mode. 
• Fix for a Defuse bug where none of the teams would win a round by letting the timer run out. -Fix for players getting stuck in the revive screen after being killed. 
• Fix for players getting stuck in the kill camera after being revived. 
• Fix for the game mode specific ribbons being counted twice in the multiplayer progression. 
• Made the NVidia 331.82 driver version mandatory for all players. 
• Disabled DirectX 11.1 on NVidia cards that have outdated drivers. 
• Fixed driver version not being properly detected on NVidia Optimus systems. 
• Fixed a minor crash that could occur when bringing up the scoreboard. 
• Fix for the issue where the game would get stuck in loading screen when players tried to join a Second Assault map without actually owning Second Assault. 

“Netcode” improvement 
We’ve addressed the so called “Kill trading”. This refers to when two players fire at each other and, seemingly, both die at the same time. The time window where a bullet could cause damage from an already dead player is now calculated as intended, decreasing the timeframe when players with high latency could get a kill, even though they should be dead according to the server

Since todays patch I am now on the "right" nvidia drivers but now none of the terrain textures load (very basic ones load, I have stuttering shadows (headache inducing), very bad GFX on any setting.

• Fix for graphical flickering appearing on terrain. 

this must be a joke.

Before patch I had only little flickering on longest distance terrain (near the horizon), which wasn't too distrubing. Now (right after patching) I get massive bugs with terrain textures starting from 60m range: terrain is filled with simple very low res texutres and flickers very much. However in close range (<60m) everything is fine like it was before patch. Please fix this flickering ASAP, because that is makeing game unplayeble, while buggy textures could be tolerated for some time.

edit:

seems like it happen only with certain textures, for example on Test Range pretty much all the map is bugged. On the Shanghai only naked ground textures are bugged, while aphalt and building are good. Water is not affected.

But Meshing Distance is still lower than before putch. And what is interesting that this didn't affect FPS at all

EDIT: These issues occus only in SLI mode. On single GPU its ok. But i have nearly 50% FPS drop, when I use one GPU, so pls fix it

CPU: i7-4770K

GPU: 2xSLI GTX 780

RAM:16 GB

OS: Win 8.1

Video driver: 331.82 (latest stable WHQL)

yep, have SLI and its horrible... trying just one graphics card now...
