Hey guys just a couple of things to run through, I have included a map of proposed redzones, all redzones are PvP KoS areas, this includes Heli crash sites. The rest of the map will be PvE so everyone gets to play the way they wish to play. The game doesn't tell you if you enter a PvP zone so if you see a tent or a barrack. . . . . . Smile for the scoped in hunter!!!!! If people are happy to go ahead with this please let us know with a thumbs up. Any suggestions or questions please chime in. Stay safe and keep looting!!!

Hi all! As luck would have it, to go along our many increasing server list for PC games, it was about time to go and set one up for a PS4 game so many of you FGers have somewhere to share on console too! 😄 You'll find a current Vanilla DayZ server on the console version available if you search 'Forever Gaming DayZ PS4'. Its initially set up for 3 months and we'll keep it going if everyone is enjoying it. Obviously be good to get some interest below and if you want any requests put them here now so we can work out what would be good for everyone to have in the server. No password for now, completely open to all. We'll work out a few basic guidelines so at least no one takes the pee out of it all! Let us know if you fancy getting on as i'm sure there's a few resident DayZ console players itching to get in those woods! 👀

UPDATE #8 (Nov 12): Client patch (PC) The PC client patch for Battlefield 4 will go live in the near future and fixes a number of different issues you have helped us to identify, including a number of the most common crashes and freezes. We will get back to you with a full fix list and a specific date for this update soon. Maintenance downtime (All platforms) Nov 13, we have a planned maintenance starting at 9AM UTC/1AM PST. The maintenance will last for 2-3 hours and multiplayer for Battlefield 4 will be unavailable on all platforms in increments during this window. This maintenance is done in preparation for the upcoming client patches. Console Server Update (PS3/X360) During the Nov 13 maintenance window mentioned above, we will roll out the latest server update for X360 and PS3. This server update will include the following fixes: • Temporarily disabled the ”Indirect Fire” and ”Perimeter Defense” Field Upgrades on PS3 as they caused the game to crash when spawning. This is a temporary workaround while we work to solve the issue altogether. • Fixed a number of dog tags that were showing up as blank in-game. • Lowered the damage caused by Mobile AA Active Radar missiles to aircraft. The previous damage was incorrectly set too high. • Improved server crash reporting and performance tracking on all platforms. This should further help us identify and fix server crashes going forward. Upcoming console client patches (PS3/X360) We are testing and finalizing upcoming client patches for PS3 and X360. We will be able to give you an ETA on these at a later date. You can always find the latest info in this thread. Upcoming Live Scoreboard (PC) We will introduce Live Scoreboards in the PC server browser on Battlelog in the upcoming days. It will let you see the current status in the ongoing round on a server before you join, such as the number of remaining targets in a round of Obliteration. We will be able to give you specific date on this feature soon. UPDATE #7 (Nov 12): Server Update R8 rolling out on PC We recently deployed the R8 Server Update on PC. It should be propagating throughout servers in the upcoming hours. You can find the change notes below. R8 Update Notes: *Fixed a number of dog tags that were showing up as blank in-game. *Lowered the damage caused by Mobile AA Active Radar missiles to aircraft. The previous damage was incorrectly set too high. *Improved server crash reporting and performance tracking on all platforms. This should further help us identify and fix server crashes going forward. UPDATE #6 (Nov 11): Quick Update Update Just a quick update: We don't have an ETA on the client updates just yet, but we will have information on these soon. We will let you know as soon as we have more detail. Stay tuned, and thanks for your patience. UPDATE #5 (Nov 7): R8 Server Update in the Works We are working hard to deliver the next server update as quickly as possible to improve stability. This has now been released. Client Update in the Works We are also working on upcoming client patches for Battlefield 4 on all platforms. These will contain fixes for crashes and address a number of other issues that you have been feedbacking to us. Patch notes will be posted as we get closer to releasing these updates. UPDATE #4 (Nov 6): R7 Server Update Rolled Out We just rolled out a new server update for Battlefield 4 that should fix some of the most common server crashes across all platforms. Let us know if this patch improves server stability for you. Patch notes below: -Fixed two of the most common server crashes (All platforms) -The "admin.say" command should now work properly (PC) -The "vars.preset" command should now work better in conjunction with other vars settings (PC) (It is now easier for server admins to set a server preset) -Fixed a bug in the queue system regarding GUID (PC) -Fixed various minor bugs (PC) UPDATE #3 (Nov 4): Fixing server crashes New server update (R6) was rolled out across all platforms to fix the most common server crash. UPDATE #2 (Nov 3): Fixing the server queues on PC We're rolling out a server update on PC with a fix for the join queue. As this new server version starts to populate servers, you will notice that server queues on PC will be available again in Battlefield 4. Note that it might take some time before the majority of PC servers are equipped with this fix (up to 24h). UPDATE #1 (Nov 3): Server crashes We have identified an issue where the game server will crash and disconnect players, causing them to lose any stats gathered during that specific round. We have a fix in progress to address this issue in a server update and will let you know once it's ready to roll out. Since the launch of Battlefield 4, some fans playing online have been experiencing various issues with the game. Thanks to your feedback, many of these problems have been resolved, but there are still a number of bugs that we are actively working on. Below you will find a list of some of the resolved issues, as well as some of the issues we are prioritizing at the moment and what we’re doing to address them. Game crashes and freezes ELIMINATED AS WE IDENTIFY THEM Players on all formats have been experiencing game crashes and freezes while playing. We have logs of the most frequently occurring client crashes, and we are actively working to Obliterate the cause of these crashes in upcoming updates. Note that crashes come in different types, and therefore this is technically not one single issue. There are two kinds of crashes and two types of updates that can address them: server-side updates that we can release on the fly (four of these have already been released since launch), and game client updates that require more in-depth testing and certification before they can go live. We have found and eliminated some of the server-side crashes on PC in our server updates. There is also a planned client update on PC in the near future where we are aiming to eliminate as many of the client-related crashes as possible. Progress in Multiplayer Lost INVESTIGATING Players have reported losing their progress in multiplayer. This is probably related to crashes stopping the game reports from being sent to Battlelog. We are still investigating this issue in more detail. Note that your progress sometimes can seem to be reset during server maintenance windows. In these cases, your stats will be just fine and reappear later. Single Player Save File Corrupted WORKING ON POTENTIAL FIX We are still investigating the issue of single player save files being corrupted for some players. If you have experienced this problem, please describe below the steps leading up to the save file being corrupted, your platform (PC, PS3 or X360), and when the issue occurred. If you’re on PC, please also list your OS and system specs. Miscellaneous Audio Bugs FIX UPCOMING We are aware of the issues with missing/corrupted audio in multiplayer and have created a fix for them. This fix is planned for release in the next PC client patch. Magazine Reload Bug on Normal FIXED On all platforms, some players were experiencing a bug when playing on Normal servers. The bug caused the reload setting to incorrectly mimic the behavior from Hardcore servers. This was fixed in our fourth and latest server update. Xbox 360 Missions not Working as Intended FIXED There was a bug preventing Xbox 360 players from creating MISSIONS. This should now work properly, as we made some necessary changes to the backend infrastructure. Battlefield 4 Premium “Reset Stats” Feature Not Working FIXED Server Queues not Functioning FIXED Promotional Battlepack Items Not Appearing In-game and/or on Battlelog INVESTIGATING We are aware of this issue, and are working on a solution for it. Note that in some cases the Battlepack items will actually show up after a delay. If you’re still not seeing your items after 12 hours or so, please reach out to EA Help at https://help.ea.com/en/battlefield/battlefield-4 [help.ea.com]. Keep the Gameplay Feedback Coming!
