Following a server update which went live last night for Battlefield 4 on PC, a number of users have reported problems on Reddit and Battlelog with respawning into the match, with server update R20 seemingly introducing a bug which is preventing players from respawning. Along with the reported issue of not being able to jump back into the game after dying, other players are reporting on the Battlelog forums that they can’t connect to servers or that they keep getting booted out in the middle of matches.

Updating Punkbuster files has seemed to fix the respawning bug for some users, but not all. In some cases it works for a few matches before not being able to respawn again. And for some users while updating their Punkbuster files seems to have allowed them to respawn, they instead are reporting various different connections issues.

Along with respawning and connection issues, it seems that if you are lucky enough to get into the game then you may find yourself getting killed by people 0 HP, which multiple users are also reporting.

We’ll keep you updated on the situation.
