Battlefield 4 Premium 2XP Event Canceled Due to Connectivity Issues EA DICE Announces
A Battlefield 4 event titled, 2XP, was canceled by EA DICE because of the developers' ongoing struggle to put a fully functioning game out since its launch.
"The end of December 2XP event for premium members has been postponed and will be run at a later date. Stay tuned for more information. We apologize for the inconvenience," a banner on the Battlelog page said.
The announcement comes on the heels of EA DICE stating they are aware of the recent connectivity problems that are unrelated to all other problems with the game.
"We are continuing to monitor some intermittent connectivity issues affecting some players across various platforms. Thank you for your patience. We will update this with further information as available," the post continued.
One of the last updates for the Windows PC was to fix the kill trading bug, except when applied, it made the problems worse.
"Kill trading" is when two players fire at each other at the same time and also die at the same time. Sometimes due to lag, one of the players should actually be downed before he has the chance to fire back. That latency issue was supposed to be fixed in the update.
According to Battle Log, there were 15 other things that were supposed to be fixed as well including a game crash, graphical flickering, being stuck in a revive screen, and much more which can be seen here.
However, two of those problems-- graphical flickering and revive stalls-- are now more prevalent than ever, game developer DICE said in an announcement.
"We at DICE have a long tradition of supporting our games and our community well after the release of a title. While millions of players are enjoying Battlefield 4, we are aware that some players are experiencing issues with the game," the company posted on BattleLog. However, players have grown increasingly frustrated that the game has taken this long to fix.
Battlefield 4 was released on Oct. 29 for the PS3, Xbox 360, and PC, the PS4 on Nov. 15, and the Xbox One on Nov. 22. Each of these versions have experienced there fair share of problems.
