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."
