Battlefield 4 Update: Developers Say They are Not 'Proud' of Launch Problems, Fixes Coming Soon
Battlefield 4 developer DICE, has said they are not proud of the launch problems the game had and are vowing to make the game perfect.
"I am extremely proud of the people at DICE and everyone across EA that contributed to the development of Battlefield 4," said Karl Magnus Troedsson, general manager at DICE according to Polygon. "However, I am less proud to see that the game has experienced some turbulence during the launch period. While some platforms have had only minor problems, others have had more than their fair share of issues. Resolving the launch issues is our #1 priority."
Some of the launch problems concern lots of server and game crashes as well as Internet instability. Most of the problems have occurred for the PC and PS4.

DICE will be giving back to gamers who bought the title and will reward them for sticking with the game. From Nov. 28 to Dec. 5, they will be offering double XP to all multiplayer matches. On Dec. 5, they will introduce a special M1911 pistol scope, which was originally an exclusive for the game's developers.
Last week DICE said it will be releasing a series of patches in the next few weeks to fix up many of the problems that have been occurring with the game on the PS4.
"We are aware of the frequent crashes in Battlefield 4 on PlayStation 4. We are hard at work identifying these issues and are hoping to get a game update out early next week. Stay tuned for more details as we can confirm them, and thanks for your patience!" their post on the Battlelog said.
Another update for the PS4 involved Commander Mode. DICE temporarily disabled it to increase the stability of the network because of crashes it was causing. The developers are currently looking at correcting the problem.
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.
