I can't even get into a game. It starts to load, ie. you see the black screen with the blinking cursor in the top right-hand corner, but then the screen goes white and it throws me back to the desktop.

I have a theory that this only happens when trying to join a server that has a queue or is almost full. Does your problem meet either of those conditions?

XP is stupid now got rank 110 last night super ****bucket

Yeah, every server had only 1 or 2 slots free. I always arrange them by available slots descending.

What I did notice though, is that most times after I see the white screen, the server that I was trying to connect to no longer shows up in Battlelog.

I watch the process in task manager; it goes up to about 30% cpu usage then drops to 1% and if it does that I know it has failed. I spent almost an hour trying to join a server that my friends were playing on last night which is why I think it is a queue bug: people are being "let in" at the same time so the server is full by the time you are logging in so it fails to connect.

Nexus18 · 30 Nov 2013 at 17:17

As said above, this happens when you are joining but someone beats you to it.

Had plenty of those too

Well I got to play with the M249 for a bit and damn it is a beast!

uksoldierboy · 30 Nov 2013 at 17:20

Very annoying

My crashes have been the awful sound loop crash, first I have had in a long time! Guess putting everything to low/off wasn't the fix in the end

86JR · 30 Nov 2013 at 17:22

Unlocked 5 gold battlepacks yesturday, still 0 100% or 200% xp boosts... grrr

The Running Man · 30 Nov 2013 at 17:27

Quite enjoying rush mode at thr moment. Bringibt6the Scar on nicely with a suppressor for matches with minimaps. Still having issues on conquest with crashing but im hoping it gets patched.

~>Dg<~ · 30 Nov 2013 at 17:44

rush and obliteration are best modes tbh

The Running Man · 30 Nov 2013 at 17:44

Yea I haven't tried obliteration yet, but I remember playing a lot of rush on BC2 not so much on bf3 though.

I think the smaller scale setting just suits my play style and no snipers helps!

There is a large netcode patch coming in the next 2-3 days for those that still play.

Source?

This is the only official update i've seen so far, not really what i'd call a 'large netcode patch' tbh.

We are verifying the upcoming PC patch and making sure it is good to go. We are aiming to get this patch out the week of Dec 2. Right now, we don’t have a set date for it, but here’s what it will include. Stay tuned for more updates in the Battlefield 4 Control Room.

PC Game Update Notes
-Removed the blur effect on soldiers that appeared when Commanders were using EMP attacks
-Fixed the audio bug where audio sometimes randomly dropped out while playing on certain multiplayer maps (typically Golmud Railway and Hainan Resort)
-Fixed the "one-hit kill bug" where occasionally damage from a single bullet was applied multiple times
- Fixed a common crash that would occur when exiting from the Single Player Campaign to Main Menu
-Tweaked the network and computer performance screen to show proper values. Players can now test their computer and network connection and get recommendations if they need to adjust something to improve their gameplay experience.

Dice can go **** itself with all these faggoty crashes.

You can play for for like a whole day or 2 then a 10x in a row you will just crash crash crash when you have 50 kills with a 100% boost on and you crash its ********.

Have you done anything at all to your Pc or/and game?

i.e. graphic settings, audio tweaks, OC settings etc.

Josh · 30 Nov 2013 at 19:56

Seemed fine tonight,

Was in the 95th servers this evening, first round went 45-10 and the second 32-8.

My the JNG90 destroys peolle inside 100m. Has fun with the "long range snipe" types. Knifes to the throat!

Leveled up twice. Loads of points, got 2 200XP's in one Gold battlepack which was nice.
