DICE investigating Battlefield 4 beta freezes and crashes
Offering an early taste of the game's Siege of Shanghai map in Conquest and Domination modes, the beta launched yesterday for Battlefield 3 Premium members, customers who pre-ordered the Battlefield 4 Digital Deluxe Edition on Origin.com, and registered owners of Medal of Honor Warfighter Limited or Digital Deluxe editions.
It will be open to all PC, PS3 and Xbox 360 owners from October 4, when DICE will hope to have addressed a range of know issues, which are listed below.
Among other issues, the studio says it's investigating freezes and crashes affecting the beta client.
If you are affected by a Freeze or a Crash upon joining a game, and the error message 'BF4 Beta has stopped working' appears, please make sure your Windows is fully updated and your Graphic card is running on its latest driver. Alternatively, some players using GeForce drivers were able to fix this by downgrading their driver to an earlier version."

Dr-PonyfilePawnStarsVPN Well BF4 is to performance heavy for the Xbox and PS3 thus crashing and freezing more frequently like more newer games except for CoD.
Everyone is honestly treating the beta like it's not a "beta"
I really think a lot of people don't know what the point of a beta is....
I agree the BETA is there to find the bugs basically so EA can fix them before the game is actually launched. All I have seen is everybody complaining about it.
Sure it's annoying dealing with bugs but that's what you SHOULD expect playing a beta instead of finding it in the full game

Dr-PonyfileMentalistDr-J-Skillz The bugs are fixed now I'm pretty sure
There still might be a couple since it is a beta after all
Probably, I hope the full version doesn't have any bugs once it gets released.
Every game will still have bugs we will just find the ones we did not find in the BETA. I think the bugs can be fun on some games but when it stops you from playing then there is a problem.
that is where i'm at right now haha
