Battlefield 4 'one-hit kill' bug on PC to be squashed next week

4.6
In the PC version of Battlefield 4, there's a bug where damage from a single bullet is applied multiple times – essentially a "one-hit kill" glitch. DICE is aware of the issue and hopes to resolve it in an upcoming patch planned for the week of December 2.

The patch will also fix an issue with audio randomly dropping during multiplayer matches and a consistent crash bug that occurs when exiting out to the main menu while within the single-player campaign. Finally, the patch will adjust the network and computer performance screen: players can test their network connection and computer performance on this screen and receive recommendations from the game on how to improve each.

The PS4 version of Battlefield 4 was updated earlier this week. We found the new version to be a much smoother experience, allowing us to freely play both Conquest and Rush modes without any crashes or network disconnects. The server browser, however, still seems to be an issue on the platform.

undisclosed Unfortunately I haven been able to get any one hit kills :c but I have had audio dropping issues lately which is extremely annoying


One hit kills aren't showing up much on your own screen, but they are very apparent on the victim's screen. I've been on both ends, and it's cause for laughter in my opinion. Hope the fix squashes this entirely.

They are taking their time with these patches. BF4 was not stress tested enough, these bugs are gaming changing.

At least they provided us all with double XP, it may not cut it but remember It's EA.. you won't get compensation.

Why do I doubt that most of these people in the comments don't play BF4 on PC... Anyway, I was going to get this game when it was on sale for $20 but I held out. Looks fun but with all these errors I'll hold out a bit longer until they get things like the game crashing and "one hit kills" sorted out.
