The lights are on
EA has had its share of problems on the PlayStation 4. Last week, the publisher blamed Sony and the critical 1.5 firmware update for the trouble before retracting that accusation. We ran into some problems with Battlefield 4, including crashes and an inability to get into the 64-player conquest mode. A fix is coming, but it’s going to be a few days.
“We are aware of the frequent crashes in Battlefield 4 on PlayStation 4,” an official post on the Battlefield blog reads. “We are hard at work identifying these issues and are hoping to get a game update out early next week. Stay tuned for more details as we can confirm them, and thanks for your patience!”
We reached out to EA to see if there was any more information available on the PlayStation 4 patch. "DICE is working on it," we were told by an EA representative.
EA and DICE have also assured that game updates are coming for Xbox 360. A PC patch was deployed on November 14 that was designed to alleviate the crashing and freezing issues that have plagued the title on that platform.

Our TakeBattlefield 4 on PlayStation 4 was touted as the first title in the series to support 64 players in a single match. As of now, we’ve had problems getting that to prove out on the retail release. I suffered numerous crashes to the PlayStation menu with an error code (CE-34878-0) and empty server listings. I’m aware that some people have gotten some modes to work, but my personal experience (which should not be considered reflective of everyone’s own encounters) is that the game is an incomplete product in its current state. If you haven’t picked it up yet, I’d recommend waiting until the all-clear is sounded.
I really wasn't able to play this at all this weekend on PS4. Switched over to Ghosts which ran perfectly fine with no issues.
How about they fix it on the 360/PS3 as well where it freezes and crashes as well with LESS players! >:/
This is frusterating i cant even play single player. Glad they're fixing it, even though its next week.
Tip for fix: Sign out of PSN, boot up BF4, then after you pressed options buttons & it's all loaded up you sign back in. Conquest is still messed up but you can play Everything else & the campaign.
The ability of making a squad then joining a game is just common sense. I can forgive the errors, even though I think they could have been kept to a minimum, but not being able to play together in a simple way is just insane. It is the freaking basics of multiplayer. Conquest, the mode that MADE Battlefield what it is, not playable does suck. I would have had them take 3 more months and released a more complete product from the get go. All crap aside, it does look fantastic and runs silky smooth fram rate. Will be amazing when they finally work out their issues. For now me and my friends have been playing other modes with medium size maps and some vehicles and still manage to have a great time.
They just released a patch for multiplayer to give some relief on the crashing situation, and are still working on the Conquest mode according to the official forums.
Can't play conquest but I can play others. Plus I crash a lot and my campaign progress got erased 2x! I feel like they rushed the game to come in time for Call of Duty. Also they give us a code if u preorder it and u can't use it until December? WTF?
What is it with game companies' servers not being able to handle all the heavy traffic THEY KNOW that will be coming once their game launches?
I got a few minutes into the campaign and it froze up. I haven't been able to get past the main menu into campaign or multiplayer since then. I get that same code every time the main menu shows up before I can even select anything. Sucks, but at least I am able to tear it up online with Killzone: Shadowfall. I'll stick with that and Resogun until this gets sorted out.
I can't even get past the start menu without it freezing every time.
Yesterday rush and obliteration finally started working with no problems..i was having the time of my life..only 32 players but a great step from 24..cant wait for the 64 player battles..for all the people complaining of things not working..im not sure if u guys are aware that their servers were attcked this weekend on the pc side of things and could of been a cause for sum of the problems.
