DICE introduced the Battlefield 4 Top Issues Tracker in hopes of quelling the nerves of the seriously stressed out Battlefield 4 fans. Bug fixes are on the way and you can monitor the “constantly updated” list to find out the latest bug fixing news.

It’s a great step in the right direction, though it’s unfortunate such a step needed to be made in the first place.

heck it out for yourself – Battlefield 4 Top Issues Tracker

• Fixed one of the most frequently occurring client crashes
• Fixed broken collision on containers with open doors. The bug previously made grenades bounce back even though the doors were open
• Fixed a bug in Defuse mode where defenders could win the round by killing all the attackers without disarming the bomb, if the bomb was disarmed in the previous round
• Miscellaneous stability fixes further reducing the number of client crashes
• Fixed side gunner jitter when aiming in attack boats & transport helicopters
• Fixed some instances of frame rate drops when shooting at large Levolution objects after they have been destroyed (like the radar dish on Rogue Transmission)
• Fixed broken aiming for passengers on the China Rising dirt bike
• Fixed a bug where the sound when capturing a flag was not playing correctly
• Removed a bug that would double save during MP round transition and SP level transition. This fix will reduce the occurrence of corrupted save files.

Have a look below at what the exclusive gun should look like. There’s no denying that thing is pretty cool looking. But the question is, does it make up for the rocky launch?

Since launch BF4 has been hit with some pretty nasty bugs that have caused many players to protest the release of China Rising. The latest patch knocked even more players out of the game  and DICE has finally seen fit to remedy the situation. It’s unfortunate that such an ambitious game has been crippled by so many bugs, especially considering the caliber of DICE as a development studio.

Here in the office we’re waiting to dedicate some serious time to the game until January when by that time hopefully most of the more serious issues have been worked out. We played during beta and while the game immediately showed promise our computers were not very cooperative in running the game smoothly. Sadly in beta it was quite clear that there were some problems and that they would continue into launch.
