Update 1.07 broke BF4 on my PS3 - Freezes BF4 on every single Multiplayer Game.

After recent BF4 Update ( Version: 1.07 ) on PS3, released on 30th January 2014, BF4 has been continuously freezing on almost every single MultiPlayer Map.

I did post this problem on various Battle Log / Battlefield 4 Forums and Help websites. And surprisingly found there are many other PS3 Players facing the exact same issue. I followed all the steps discussed on almost all forums but all in vain. It seems that there is no fix for this issue that I can apply on my own.
Even after posting this problem by me or other PS3 players on BF 4 Battle-log or BF4 Control Centre there is no reply or acknowledgement from the DICE / EA side. Which makes us think that DICE is not concerned about its existing customers and on top of that DICE rolled out "February Player Appreciation Program". Which doesn't make any sense.
All players are looking for BF4 Multiplayer to be Fixed not these funny Appreciation Battlepacks which will do no good if the basic game is broken and the recent BF4 Update (1.07) rolled out on 30th January 2014 ( on PS3) made the game even more worse. Before update 1.07 was rolled out BF4 screen froze may be one time in three consecutive games but after this update it is freezing all most in the middle of all Multiplayer Maps in every single Game.

 

Unless DICE has come up with any better solution. I would suggest rolling back the new update 1.07 ( rolled out on 30th January 2014) so that PS3 players can go back to previous update and from there you guys can start fixing the consistent freezing or consistent crashing issue.

  • Ive never had much freeze issue until now,

    yesterday except for 1 quick match I froze everytime I got post match ( 3 hours of play time )

    before the score score screen, or trying to load a match ( US servers )

    interactions with vehicles, esp spawn into vehicle, but also in game trying to enter vehicle (black screen freeze)

    or just in match freeze not during leveloution even.

    a few bugs were tolerable like spawn for a few seconds with no weapon or no battle sound but thats not a game stopper

    This is what I posted few days ago as requested by EA Game Advisor. They are aware of the issue now nd are looking into the fixes. (I rarely have problems now since I reboot my Cable Modem, and WIFI Router before I turn on my PS4. Give it a shot and see if this works for you as well). Also, are you guys up to date with SW release from Playstation? http://us.playstation.com/support/systemupdates/ps3/

    I've posted the same thing in the Battlelog Forum as well. http://battlelog.battlefield.com/bf4/forum/threadview/2955064773308952974/

    I am not sure if these have been reported or the devs are aware of the bugs. All of these started happening couple of days ago. I am on PS4 with latest SW updates for both BF4 and PS.

    Just got off the chat with EA Game Advisor and he asked that I post here to let everyone know, especially devs about these possible new bugs. Were there any tweaks within last couple of days?

    All Weapon Medals are not tracking properly or stopped tracking - For example: My Melee kills count show 19, but according to medal progress, it shows 0/50 (1 ribbon for 4 kills), Headshots Medal shows 46/50 (1 ribbon for 3 headshots, and I have 290).

    Lots of sound dropping and stuttering – Happened on all Multiplayer maps, sound (Gun shots, Commander’s voice, squad orders, etc…) dropped off very frequently, and picture stutter a lot. Prior to last few days, it was not that pronounced as it happened once in a blue moon.

    Rubberbanding is becoming more pronounced - Happened several times in Operation Locker while I was running away from someone who was shooting at me. Usually, my position on the map set me back about 3 seconds worth of running or dodging the spray of bullets. Another word, I am trying to run or hide, but put me right in front of the crosshairs as I was 3 seconds ago, then I kaput. Usually happened at Objective E (basement ally from E to D) and by Objective B (from the outside going into Objective B), and Objective C (Going from outside to Objective C through small narrow door way).

    Loading screen – Stuck on loading screen from 30 seconds to 3 minutes while playing on “DICE “TEST” Operation Locker only”. By the way, this is a great idea as I love playing Operation Locker and I did not have to look for another Operation Locker when the server is specifically set up to play only “Operation Locker”. You should definitely have several servers for each map.

    Missing weapons while spawning – Again, this started happening more and more within last couple of days. Prior to this, I may spawn without weapons 1/20 times but now, it is happening 1/3 times. Sometimes I chose to spawn in the HOT ZONE and had to wait about 5 to 10 sec before any weapons showing up. I tried cycling from Primary Weapon to Secondary Weapon to Option 1 Gadget to Option 2 Gadget but no weapons or gadget would show up, shoot, or deploy. 

    Server search function reset to default – Happened 3 times where my entire preset server searches (for Conquest, Operation Locker) were reset to default and all servers were showing up. This started happening yesterday.

    Kicked out to another map while re spawning in Operation Locker – When I tried to re spawn in the Operation Locker (Used search feature to look for Conquest, Operation Locker), the server kicked me out to another map, Siege of Shanghai. Again, I was trying to re spawn with many tickets (over 300 tickets each team left). Not joining the server for the first time.

    This is something I have never seen before and wish I took a screen shot – Yellow Triangle Exclamation Mark with no message in a blue box. I received this while joining another Conquest, Operation Locker server but I was able to join the server few minutes later. It showed up may be 3 times while loading(?) then let me join the server.
