Latest patches address some stability and balancing issues in the game

DICE has released new Battlefield 4 title updates for the PS3 and PS4 versions of the game.

The studio says the latest patches address some stability and balancing issues in the title, which has been plagued by online problems since its release in October.

DICE released the latest Battlefield 4 PC patch on Monday and is finalising the next game updates for Xbox 360 and Xbox One ahead of planned releases later in January.

Jan 14 PS3 update notes

Various fixes for improving general stability
Fixed a player feedback timing issue where blood was appearing before other damage indicators, and before damage was actually done
Fix for bug where it looked like soldier was dying with 1 health instead of 0
Fixed a bug where players' rank icons on the scoreboard would not be updated
Normalized repair rates across all vehicles. Vehicles with lower health points, like aircraft and transport vehicles, now repair more slowly than before
Fixed problem with killer health in kill card not being correctly updated (showing 100% health even though he was just hurt)
Fix for friendly marker not always showing when needed to, resulting in players shooting team members
Fixed a bug where the M1 Abrams Coaxial HMG ammo box was occasionally blocking the driver's camera
Increased damage by 25% for the Stealth Jet 20mm cannons
Stealth Jets now have more similar handling attributes to eachother. F35 & J-20 are slightly more agile, Su-50 is less agile
Attack Jets now have more similar handling attributes to each other, and all 3 are now slightly less agile than earlier
Fixed camera glitch when switching weapons while moving in crouch
Fixed an occasional bug where players could experience intermittent engine sound dropouts when driving wheeled IFVs
China Rising: Fixed animation glitch for motorbike passengers ocuring when aiming
Fix for first and third person soldier animations being out of sync while doing transition changes. This could potentially make the player get hit while in cover behind a wall or other obstacle

In December, DICE announced that it was halting work on Battlefield 4 DLC development until it fixed a number of the game's major issues.

"We know we still have a ways to go with fixing the game - it is absolutely our #1 priority," a spokesperson for publisher EA said at the time. "The team at DICE is working non-stop to update the game."

Xbox version is unfixable. That much detail on a system that old was never going to work.

I hope they have fixed the ridiculous lag that i and my friends always get when playing conquest on Hainan resort, it only ever happens on that map on that game mode. (PS4)

A step in the right direction. Guess Xbox will just have to suffer a bit longer.

Krushems Its Good DICE are more concerned on fixing game's major issues then developing the DLC i know i would rather have a bug free game


I think we all feel that way. What's the point of a DLC when the game is unplayable/filled with a ton of bugs.
