The game won't stop wanting to dashboard in the loading screen for a game that asks you to join a squad recently! Anyone else having this problem?

It's booted me to the dashboard twice. Not sure what causes it, but apparently this is a common problem.

Its happened to me in the middle of the match. I die, black screen, then dashboard. Its annoying, but fortunately it has only happened some 2-3 times. I really hope they fix it though.

Never had it.

It just sends you to the dashboard in the middle of gameplay, or just randomly before gameplay? Wierd. Maybe call EA?

On the loading screen for me, it loads then goes blank for 1 second then finishes loading. Your problem sucks, both in the loading screen though. I think they need to fix that. And it doesn't put me in a squad always, though I don't know if this is normal (I then have to search for a squad in the menu) The game is installed to my HDD, see if that helps (if you haven't installed)

Whenever it happens to me I notice it tries to join me in the same game when I do a search again. So I just prefer a different map. Has worked everytime, granted I have been dashboarded 5-7 times out of 85+ hours on it, yes I only play BF lol.

:lol: it kicks me to the dash board every once in a while. it mostly happens when im trying to get into a match (the loading screen). earlier me and my bro were playing and it just refused to let him join my game. they need to fix this along with the new character skins and gun camos :D

The game needs a good patching. Fix some glitches, balance issues, and server reliability and all will be great.

Well, thanks for the input and all, but that's only a temporary fix. This seems like it's an ongoing issue. Start emailing and putting those threads up on the EA forums or else this just goes under the rug.

A friend told me that installing games to your hard drive skratched your disk.

Your friend is not very bright. If anything it reduces scratching because then when you play the game the disc doesn't spin.

Since when? It just reads the disk like normal. Then once you start the game it only uses the hard drive. I only play with games installed and they are perfectly fine.

[sarcasm]it totally does, it rips the information off the disc and scratches the disc to let you know the game was successfully copied to your HDD. [/sacarsm] installing games > playing from disc.
