Battlefield 4 Connection Issues Now Plague Online Servers as New Problem is Separate from Glitches and Errors in Updates
Battlefield 4 is facing online connectivity problems as EA and DICE scramble to figure out what is wrong with the game this time around as frustrated gamers have been suffering through glitches, errors, and server problems since launch.
"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 update to Battlelog read.
These new connectivity issues are not related to the glitches and errors that had constantly been occurring during the game already. DICE has released several updates and packs to fix the game since November.
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.
"Both of these have our attention, and we're investigating them," DICE posted at the time.
"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.
"If you are one of them, this Battlefield 4 tracker will give you the latest updates in regards to some of the top issues we are going to fix and fan feedback we're implementing in the game. We always work with trackers for our games internally which enables us to track and fix bugs as quickly as possible. We've never made it external before, but this seems like a great way to keep you constantly updated on how we're progressing," they continued.
All of the tracked issues have one of three statuses next to it: fixed, in the process of being fixed, or being investigated.
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.
