Problems players report

We read the 300 most recent negative Steam reviews of Battlefield 4 on 30 August 2026 and counted what they mention. These are complaints, not confirmed defects: we have not reproduced any of them, and a review describes one person's machine. What the counts tell you is which problems more than one person ran into.

This franchise will continue to belong in the garbage as long as there's no PvE mode (I'm not talking about the campaign) and as long as the studio continues to block Linux users on purpose with their custom anti cheat.

A further 47 reviews call the game buggy or broken without saying how, which is why they are counted separately rather than assigned to a theme. Counted by keyword across review text, so a review discussing two problems is counted under both. Read the reviews yourself.
