Xbox One gets BF4 update ahead of schedule

by on16 January 2014



Possible downtime while the update is deployed

Joining the already released Battlefield 4 updates for the PlayStation 4 and PC, DICE has been able to deploy the latest Battlefield 4 update for players on the Xbox One a little ahead of schedule. DICE has noted that players of the Xbox One version of Battlefield 4 might experience some downtime while this update is pushed out.

The Xbox One January 15th patch includes the following changes:


- Various fixes for improving general stability

- Fixed various random deadlocks (the so called "sound loop crash")

- Fixed flickering in map and minimap on Rogue Transmission and Operation Locker

- Fixed issue with player spawning under the map in Lancang Dam

- Fixed broken collision on containers with open doors. The bug previously made grenades bounce back even though the doors were open

- Fixed an occasional bug where players could experience intermittent engine sound dropouts when driving wheeled IFVs

- Fixed camera glitch when switching weapons while moving in crouch

- China Rising: Fixed animation glitch for motorbike passengers occuring when aiming

- Increased damage by 25% for the Stealth Jet 20mm cannons

- Normalized repair rates across all vehicles. Vehicles with lower health points, like aircraft and transport vehicles, now repair more slowly than before

- Fixed a bug where the M1 Abrams Coaxial HMG ammo box was occasionally blocking the driver's camera

- Fix for friendly marker not always showing when needed to, resulting in players shooting team members

- Fixed problem with killer health in kill card not being correctly updated (showing 100% health even though the soldier was hurt)

- Fixed a bug where players' rank icons in the scoreboard would not be updated

- Fixed issue with soldier health showing 1 HP in killcard instead of 0 HP

- Fixed a player feedback timing issue where blood was appearing before other damage indicators, and before damage was actually done

- Reduced the risk of single player campaign save file becoming corrupt


From what we understand, a Xbox 360 patch is still coming as well, but so far DICE has no exact release date of when this might make its way to players. Like we said yesterday, it is good that DICE is keeping after it and fixing the gamer, but we sure would like the frequency of the patch releases to maybe be even faster, but we will take what we can get.
