Battlefield 4 PC bug causing game to freeze, enter sound loop

GameSpot are about as corrupt as EA/DICE. They don't post negativity about how bad the game truly is, but when they do they make it out to be so minor and as if it's one of very few bugs.

It comes as no surprise why GameSpot reviewed the preview copy of Battlefield 4 and ultimately refuse to re-review the game as it was released on November 1st to the global audience. We all know the BF4 beta was on a early, stable build, using different shaders and stripped of many mechanics, all the while the broken mess ready for release sat on discs in stores awaiting the release date and the content for delivery over the Origin network was waiting in an equally bad mess a short while after. So why aren't you doing reviews properly GameSpot? Oh that's right, you can't do your jobs properly. You'll insist on getting reviews out early, by reviewing preview content, or content aimed at media that has no direct relation to what the consumers will get when it is ultimately released.

If you reviewed things properly, perhaps the game everybody else got and not the one prepped for beta users and media, then you'd of been a much more reliable source in which gamers can rely. However, I can see that instead you're a bunch of glorified kiddos with a love for their cameras and the sound of their own voices who do a ridiculous job at posting anything even remotely useful for the people who use this website.

I would go into detail about how I spent £94.98 on BF4 pre-order and Premium, tried endless fixes, reported bugs, compiled lists, made videos, tweeted DICE employees (who did see my reports), had my posts deleted (silenced, even though perfectly acceptable), witness the same bugs months after DICE employees asked me for video proof of problems, etc), but that'd be a bit much, wouldn't it? Oh, but now we've gone full circle back to instability and sound bugs, just like we had at release. 8/10, right Gamespot? The plummeting player numbers and large majority of people experiencing problems must be our imagination.

Now I await my ear/eye bashing, but nobody can deny what I've written as true.

Hasn't this game been out for half a year now? =D

Typical DICE, release a patch, break something.

never had any luck with my pc version, and refuse to buy it for my ps4 @ the retail price will wait till it is a bargin binner

Al-right! In this here article people will be angry at EA. In another page that has Titanfall, people forgave them and very happy...

Problem has been there since launch, it's just rare now... or so we thought.

If you think Battlefield 4 is the most stable gaming experience you've ever experienced, hold on to your ass.

Battlefront is coming. You ain't seen nothing yet.

Oh for crying out loud, I was about to try this game out since the newest expansion is on the go... but it sounds like only more frustrations await me :(

Seriously though this game is little more than a joke at this point, I've spent $110 on it and barely have any drive to see my money turned into playtime at this point. It's just a solid warning to stay away from future EA products.

It's good to see the testers are ironing these bugs out.

Hopefully it will be running perfectly by the time it's ready for release.

Oh, Wait.

Wouldn't it have made more sense to have a "Player Appreciation Month" *after* the game was fixed?

I am so goddamn glad i didn't buy premium.

Can't say the same for BF4 though :(

ffs just installing an ssd and this was my goto game for testing loading booooooooo

the entitre game is a "bug"

bf4 for me personally has been a very stable game. I remember after the launch of bc2 the servers being down and was unplayable for the first couple days.. That has never happened with bf4 and I really loved bc2... Never once was I not able to join a server and play in bf4. If anyone can remember bf2142, that game had big problem with stats not saving but that was patched. 2142 was another one of my favorites, but that was very annoying at the time. Keeping your pc in tip top shape and pretty good hardware is a must for bf games and always has been. You need to know how to keep PB manually updated among other drivers. Ive seen people bitch about this game being buggy and they were trying to run it on a outdated video card. Also server disconnects are going to happen playing these types of games. there are reserved slots and other things to take into consideration.

All in all I have already got my moneys worth with bf4 considering the hours I have into it and IM happy with my purchase. I have great fun playing with a full squad of my friends!

Okay I'm trying to be Mr Positive at the moment, so let's see... what's something good I can say about this situation... Oh I know!

At least it wasn't published by Warner Bros! :P

Of course it does. It's Battlefield 4. This was on my list of games to get with my Ps4, but yeah- no... Not anymore.

Really people still have Battlefield 4? Oh yeah PC games are mostly digital.

Is this game 19$ yet ?

I'm happy to buy it:D And I believe alll bugs will be fixed.

took you guys long enough, people have been having this problem since the 2/13 patch. luckily my crashes somehow stopped after a few days, but they went on long enough to miss the double xp weekend

"But I’m not willing to accept--and I don’t think most of my customers are willing to say--'it’s a bad product, I wish I didn’t buy it.' That’s not the conversation we’re having now.........I think what we’re hearing is, 'You made a game we really liked. We would’ve liked it a little better if it didn’t have these problems.' Many of those problems we can fix, and we have and will."

Happy player appreciation month
-xoxo EA

i love when ea opens its mouth with its lies and disillusions and reality bites them in the ass

Hope Battlefront won't suffer the same fate.

And just remember guys it's player appreciation month... -_-

Kind of makes me wonder why everyone is getting so hyped up on Titan Fall when EA still can't figure out how to make BF4 work.

i love battlefield franchise but bf3 and bf4 are the worst games in the franchise, they shouldn´t exist. EA and DICE are a bunch of incompetents. it a shame that titanfall and star wars is on EA hands, because sooner or later EA will start developing garbage games with the name titanfall and starwars on the cover.
