Agreed. The most likely time it crashes for me is when i exit the game.... and since the last patch that is rare.
The smaller thumb button on my MX518 refuses to be bound to anything for me also. Infact, even if I make sure nothing is bound to it, if I press it it will dish out a med kit as if it was bound to the relevant gadget. I have a sneaking suspicion this is somehow related to the settings I used in the beta, which I suspect are somehow corrupting/interfering with my current bindings. I tried forcing it to be mapped to a key press in the mouse software as you suggest, and it still just dishes out medkits.
Yeah the crashing has reduced a lot, infact been atleast 2 weeks since I've had it CTD, but still get 1-2 instances of stuck on the black loading screen that requires task killing the game an evening.
Still a ton of glitches though and the sound engine is held together with duct tape only my creative x-fi works without significant problems out of about 6 sound devices I tried (including different pcs).

WHAT ? i've just spent the weekend grinding the dmr's til I got them all unlocked and now dice give them away free....oh well it saves me doing the shottys which i'll never use anyway. pdw's are pea shooters at any distance above 10 metres so no good for my play style either.
I still get the odd 'invisible wall' where I can see but can't shoot through so there are still a few instances of this around. It would be good to be able to hit a button in the menu to fix your position on the map and then send the coordinates in a bug report so they can eventually be solved. Happens a lot outside on Locker.

Had the same problem. This fixed it for me.
1. Log out and fully exit Origin
2. Open your Registry Editor - Type in regedit in the Search Menu and press Enter
3. Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > SOFTWARE > Wow6432Node > EA Games > Battlefield 4
4. Check for a folder named Xpack1 under the Battlefield 4 folder
If it exists -> Click on Xpack1, on the right pane see if there is a string named Installed. Double click on Installed string and set the Value data to True
If it does not exists -> Right-click on Battlefield 4 select New then select Key
- a new folder will be created, name it Xpack1
- right-click on Xpack1 > New > String Value > name this string Installed
- on the right-pane, double-click on Installed, set Value Data to True
5. Exit Registry Editor

ughhhh
had a go at this again after a couple of months of avoiding it (due to all the crashing)
played 2 rounds, great fun, getting decent amount of kills to deaths
third round starts (same server) and hardly a single bullet registers for the whole round, people soak up entire magazines while facing away from me only to turn round and 1 shot kill me, 40mm grenade people in the face - no damage, people stand on my exploding grenades - no damage
hit recognition ruins this game

How are firing your weapon tho? BF3 bursting was the way to go. In BF4 tap fire is the only way

lol get out of here commoner with your peasant PC!
Ultra or nothing!!!!! ****** be hatin'
that's why I still have more scout heli kills than you
(don't look at other stats....)Overall, the game has been fine for me the last few months, nowhere as bad as what some drama queens make it out to be...
My main issues:
- invisible walls/textures, absolute joke! Often not even anywhere near a wall, tree or whatever and somehow my bullets are hitting a force field... not to mention those bullet proof leaves!
- hit reg. (much better than when first released though)
Still get a crash every now and then.
This!
Besides since the last patch my FPS have dropped significantly so can't play on high etc. even if I wanted too.

Problem is the 'hit reg' encompasses a great deal of bugs:
Amount of bullets into someone varying wildly,
Kill trading,
Kills behind cover,
Players facing complete opposite direction then suddenly your dead and they're looking at you.
I don't tend to be in vehicles most of the time so its every game I am affected but I can understand being in a vehicle the majority of the time map your unlikely to experience them regularly.

Kills behind cover will never be truly fixed, been happening since bc 2 
Haven't had the trade kills anywhere as much since the last patch or two.
Have the 4th point a fair bit but personally doesn't really bother me
When I say hit reg., I mean things like shooting people, seeing the blood and flinching but the shots don't reg., shooting helis/jets with rpgs, tank shells, tv missiles only to have them "dust", about 40% of my shots/shells don't reg on aircraft

came across one i'd not seen before, on Hainan resort at the D flag theres a wall of 3 sheets of metal as you go into the flag from E, but you can walk straight thru it
Have a lot of instances of that especially around the top of buildings (shanghai, hainan, etc.) and levolution objects :| also happens a lot on the terrain around rogue transmission and on dragon pass theres several spots where snipers can be invincible to incoming fire as it clips on invisible collision surfaces infront of them but can still shoot out fine

Kills behind cover are bad in BF due to the terrible "netcode" design - if they made some tweaks to make the server a bit more authoritative for stuff like that or hadn't gone with such a bad design in the first place it could be reduced to hardly noticeable levels though you will always have some degree of it in any system using latency compensation - in most other games the upper delay limit on it is around half (often less) what it is in BF4. (In many games its often hard clipped around 150-180ms whereas in BF4 its usually atleast 300ms and I've seen instances of it going into the 1500-3000ms levels).
Trade kills still happen they've just used some window dressing to disguise the issue rather than solve it.
