This is after the patch too. At least I think it is. I was prompted to make sure my disc was in and I was signed in when I stared the game so I'm guessing the patch installed. This is annoying.
I had that a few nights ago too - for the entire night! Bloody annoying.

PC version has been fine for me, they also rolled out a 1 gig patch a few wks ago to improve stability.

Can't stop playing this on the 360. The game went from good to great when I started playing hardcore. For the most part games are a much slower pace and you don't have to put a clip into someone's forehead to drop them.

Had some GREAT matches tonight. This game is so much fun. Clip below is from the map Parcel Storm. As I'm parachuting to the ground the storm is rolling in.

Nice! I'm loving the game as well. Didn't have one crash to the home screen this weekend after the patch. Clip below was right after I had jumped from the roof of the huge skyscraper as it started to collapse. I landed on the roof of another building and found these guys watching the skyscraper fall, or so it seemed.

2 questions...

1. XB1 - Is anyone able to get into a Conquest match from the quick match screen OR the server browser? I am still unable to. When I filter Conquest matches on the Server browser I get zero selections. When I try to go in through the Quick Match option I get the trying to find match overlay for a few seconds then it just disappears and nothing else happens.

2. Where those two YouTube clips above from the XB1 version or PC? If they were XB1 how did you get them on YouTube?

I don't use Quick Match. I am able to get a list of Conquest matches using the server browser. Sometimes it will say server full or no commander slots open on games that show open slots, but after a few tries I get in a game.

1. I always use the server browser to get in games, and 95% of the time I only play Conquest Large games. I have my filter set for official servers, ranked, US east and west, 1-5 slots open and 5-10 slots open. Can't remember what else if anything. Like Pete, it may take a few tries and refreshes but eventually I can get in.

2. Xbox One - I do everything on my IPAD after trimming and uploading to my skydrive account from the xbone. Then I open my skydrive app on the ipad, find my new video and choose to open it in the Youtube capture app, and then upload it to youtube.

Bought China Rising last night. It's downloaded and on my hard drive, yet I can't access any matches on CR maps. I backed out of the game and restarted.

What gives? Any tips?

PK. are any China RIsing servers showing when you search for matches by browser? Maybe you have a search filter excluding them??

No, sir. I have a server filter that ONLY allows CR maps. And I'm told to download the expansion every time I try to use them.

This is a known glitch featuring vociferous complaints on the EA forums, with no solution offered by anyone. F*ck. Me.

BF4 would be my hands-down game of the year if it wasn't for the fact that it's broken for almost every other person I talk to.

Whenever they sort this sh!t out (and they f'ing better), rather than giving a 'double XP weekend' as an apology, they should give out an expansion pack or two for free at the very least! When SimCity was busted earlier this year EA gave out a free game so it's not unprecedented.

Won't happen. How would EA compensate those who already paid full retail for Battlefield 4 Premium?

PK. That sucks. I bought my copy at GameStop and entered the CR code. Yesterday I selected a china rising server and it prompted me to download the maps.
I've had no problems and for the most part the maps are great. (Not a big fan of the big desert map..silk something..)

Same here, mostly. I had the code in the box, as well, and entered it last week. It took it, but I was locked out due to the premium members only thing. Was prompted to download, and the only issue I've had at all with the game involves the sound. It takes a good 30 seconds for all the sounds to begin to play when a match starts, so I'm flying a chopper, or driving a tank, with no sound effects for engines, no sound for guns. Weird.

PK, try redownloading. It will tell you you've downloaded this before, but it shouldn't cost anything to redo. That might fix it. Wanna get you into the ridiculous CR maps!

For the first time ever i've put some time into playing recon class. I must admit.. there is nothing sweeter than a good sniper kill. Last night I unlocked the supressor and now i'm getting to the objectives and finding good cover at drilling people at close - medium range. One shot one kill.

Did that multiple times. Still doesn't work. Peeved.

The only other thing I can think of is either looking in the marketplace to see if you've downloaded all of the MP updates, or clearing the cache and starting the updates over.

I have all of the updates. Many have reported clearing the cache doesn't work.

This is a random problem reported by many and acknowledged as real by EA. Who knows when they'll get around to a fix. I'll give them a couple of days. Then I will call Microsoft and demand a refund, threatening to go nuclear on the Facebook and Twitter feeds of MS, EA and DICE if they don't comply.

Social media can be a powerful tool for consumers.

Eh, that sucks. Wish it hadn't happened to you...but glad it didn't happen to me...lol. The maps are fantastic, so here's hoping you can get them to work shortly.

I bought two copies on Black Friday so my son and I could play together on Live. I just installed CR in the other room and it took a few re-boots for the game to recognize that the DLC was installed. Initially it kept saying I had to pay for the DLC. Very odd.
