Battlefield 4 launched as a broken game. It’s tough to get around that fact, especially when we’re still seeing significant updates months after the game’s October launch.
What’s encouraging, though, is that the development team at DICE is at least addressing the game’s many issues before worrying about any sort of DLC. The latest update is for the PlayStation 4, and is said to make the game more stable and playable than it has been up to this point. Check out the full list of notes below to see if you’ve been having any of these issues.

-Fixed flickering in map and minimap on Rogue Transmission and Operation Locker

-Fix for friendly marker not always showing when needed to, resulting in players shooting team members
