As of last night it was still having issues for me post update.
In other words, everyone had to quit BF4, get in a party chat, then go into BF4 and it would work. If you are already in BF4 you can't connect to party chat.

Lately I've primarily been playing Rush. It is my favorite mode and it seems more stable than CQ64. I am out West now but I would love to play with a full squad. I join other AVSrs when I see them but its difficult as most games seem full.
The patch is now live for Xbox One BF4. Seems more stable, though Sever Browser is still inconsistent and still no sound for the first 30+ seconds of a new match. But at least I'm not having crashes.. for now
My question is how to join a game – AT ALL!!!!! In the past I would select “multiplayer” which would bring up the menu screen of the various MP game options (e.g., conquest, team deathmatch, etc.). I would then select my mode of choice (usually conquest) and the game would load up a match and toss me in. For the past week I cannot get past the little pop up window which says “matchmaking” – I literally cannot join a game (and yes, I downloaded the latest update a few days ago). I’ve tried this with multiple game types – not just conquest – and the same thing happens. So, my question is, how in the world do I actually join a multiplayer game? I’ve tried selecting dedicated servers of my choosing but see that EA wants an additional $49.99 for me to do that. What am I doing wrong? Do I need to enter a secret code for the game to actually work? Did I spend $59.99 on a coaster? I really wish I would have purchased a PS4 instead so I could play Killzone. COD Ghosts is the worst COD game I have ever played and I while I really liked BF4 during the brief time I could play it (shortly after launch), right now I can only access the menus. I love online multiplayer games and I spent $500 on a console and am 0 for 2 in top tier titles. Titanfall can’t come soon enough!
I've been having good luck going through the server browser recently. Set the filters for game mode and some empty slots (>5, at least). You may have to try a couple before you can get in, but don't re-try until you get some type of response, and after 2-3 tries, re-fresh the list.

I wonder if you have a map checked in the filters which you don't have access to? Like a China rising or first assualt map? Those are only available to premium members. Try server browsing and uncheck everything.
Did the patch ever come out for BF4? Up until the last couple of days, I've never had bf4 crash on me during a match. Crashes in hte post match screen happened frequently, but at least I got to keep my progress. For the last 2 nights though, I've had frequent crashes during matches. Just dumps me out to the xbox dashboard. Anyone else noticed a difference?
I've noticed a difference, but for the better. I think there was an update the other day (Fri?), but I haven't seen any announcement about it on Battlelog (only the PC update).
It used to be after a few matches I would be bounced to the dashboard at the start of a new map. It's better now, but I have been bounced out in the middle of a match once or twice. Once the other day, the BF screen went completely black for a few minutes and I had to re-start the game.
On a side note, I've been playing a few Hardcore matches recently. Since when, in Hardcore, do claymores get tripped by your own team? I must've killed a 1/2 dozen teammates last night planting claymores on the approaches to the objectives while defending on Rush before I realized what was happening.

i got the patch thursday and since then it's been a lot better. the game audio is fixed now, and instead of getting kicked to the dash during/after 2/3 of my games, i typically only get kicked out maybe 10-20% (it's only happened during a game twice since the update).
team/party chat still seems broken to me, but we have a process to get it working (party up before anyone has BF4 in memory yet (ie, not even in background), or get everyone on the same squad, then party up). Squad chat is choppy to the point of uselessness, so we stick to party chat.
i've had noticeable lag in 15-20% of my 64 player conquest matches, but compared to 16 player halo 4, this is a miracle.
Did you know if you say "I need ammo", it selects the command for you? I was yelling at another team mate for ammo and it sent the command. I did it with "I need a medic" and it works too.
