Despite lots of start-up glitches, me and my friends do manage to get into games on PS4. Something that is not being mentioned in this thread but is probably related, and I'll leave it to devs to decide whether this is a cause of the problem or an effect:
There are a lot of re-spawn glitches. Here are some things we have seen.
1. Spawning in on the planet surface when the rest of the team is in the ship in the air, and vice versa. Note: you can spawn in on a squad member in the wrong place.
2. Spawning into a spot in the air above the planet surface and getting frozen into an aerial view of the planet surface.
3. Spawning in as an arc trooper but holding the weapon of previous character we were spawned in as. Note: other hand has proper weapon in it, but it looks weird if the first weapon was a two-handed weapon.
4. Spawning in at the same point simultaneously as a player on the opposing team.
5. Spawning in in first-person view and then the game crashes (happens to all players in group simultaneously at the beginning of a game). Not sure if this is happening to the entire game or just to everyone playing in a group.
6. Spawning in on a STAP but only the STAP spawns in, not your character on it. Looks like an empty STAP zooming around.
So maybe these are unrelated, but given the game start-up problems, I wouldn't be surprised if spawn glitches are part of the problem.

Not in my experience. Hotfixes rarely take more than a week. Noy less either, but that id because of Dony and Microsoft and their required long QA-testing-time

I noticed that too!
I also noticed it happens after you play a game in arcade.

I also have not been able to play a single round for almost two weeks I try it every day and wait almost an hour trying to load after it kicks me for “inactivity”. At this point it’s hardly worth the trouble. 13 days and haven’t played once. Thanks EA reliable as always love the organized premium content always released ready to go without issue (heavy sarcasm).
