152 - Some users who select multiple XP boosts, only receive a boost to the equivalent of the last XP boost applied.
153 - China Rising assignments cannot be completed since last patch (Dec 20th 2013 - this does not appear to be linked with persistently displayed completed assignments).
154 - Hitbox de-synchronisation still seems to persist.
155 - Spawning on a squad mate will sometimes cause you to fall through the floor in certain areas of certain maps.
156 - Spawning on a squad mate will sometimes cause you to spawn inside a inaccessible building.
157 - Destruction / Collapsing of one or either side of the central building in Hainan Resort results in extreme FPS drops.
158 - The magnifier (2x) can sometimes be used over larger scopes when it should instead be incompatible. This results in the magnifier being flicked through the larger scope (merging scopes).

* * * CAMPAIGN BUGS * * *

Severe Campaign bug (though rare) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=q8yntl1pD28#t=424 [youtube.com]

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


These bugs are confirmed issues. They do not include suggestions, or disagreements to changes or balances.

Due to the outcry about netcode issues and crashing, the primary focus has overshadowed the effort of patching less dramatically impacting bugs - whilst this is understandable, many of these bugs continue to effect players who have more stable games and thus diminish the experience for those people.

Please pin this thread if possible. This is not to disrespect EA or DICE, this is a list of real bugs that effect us players and it is meant to be constructive feedback. Please may it serve as a list in which DICE may work from to help fix the PC version of BF4. Not all BF4 PC bugs are listed here, but these are some of the most common or prominent bugs within the game and/or on Battlelog.

I apologise for any duplicates and I'd appreciate it if the folks here could point out any bugs that have in fact been fixed, so that I may edit the list to reflect the changes.


Thanks.
