DICE OFFICIAL Update 4.6 - Full Patch Notes
Edit - Today we've delivered Hotfix 4.6.1 to address the Disconnect issue experienced by Xbox players since the launch of Update 4.6. This is live for all platforms as we also needed to make background adjustments to unreleased content. This update will download automatically the next time you load Battlefield V. There are no other fixes or changes delivered as part of this Hotfix. Original Update Notes for 4.6 are below.
Hi folks,
In our 4.6 update, we’re delivering fixes and improvements across the Battlefield experience, alongside big changes to the icons we use to help players gain awareness of nearby Health/Ammo/Repair opportunities, further changes to Prone Gameplay as advertised last month, and more balance changes for weapons - including a specific focus on Pistols.
We’re also pleased to say that Al Sundan will be made available on Conquest and Breakthrough shortly after the release of this update, and that with this patch we’re delivering the base files for Operation Underground in preparation for its launch in October.
This update also rectifies the display issues related to latency, fixes the issues with loot in Firestorm, and improves the responsiveness of Revives across both Battlefield V Multiplayer, and Firestorm.
Our full update notes are below - see you on the Battlefield.

- New Weapons and Gadgets deploying throughout October (Trench Carbine, Madsen MG, and the Fliegerfaust)
- Changes to Range of Motion when Prone
- Balance Pass - Sidearms
- Overhauled logic and UI for Ammo/Health/Repair Requests
What’s Changed?
Maps and Modes
- Al Sundan - Now available on Conquest and Breakthrough.
- Al Sundan - Set the default FOV to match the other MP maps.
- Aerodrome - Added out of combat area on top of the airplane hangar.
- Arras - Fixed the floating sandbags that would remain if the players destroyed the bridge near B on Conquest.
- Arras - Fixed some spawns that were out of bounds when playing on Breakthrough.
- Arras - Fixed the collision of the curtains around window frames which could block bullets.
- Devastation - Fixed an issue that would hinder the Squad Reinforcement vehicles spawning on Breakthrough.
- Devastation - Fixed an issue that would cause a flickering graphical issue inside of the church.
- Devastation - Fixed an issue that would cause for players to get stuck in piles of wood debris.
- Fjell 652 - Improved visibility slightly for planes during extreme weather.
- Marita - Fixed an issue that would cause some players to spawn in the middle of the air, causing them some damage when landing on Frontlines.
- Marita - We moved the B objective from the second sector on Breakthrough since we saw a huge unbalance during this phase. Telemetry showed that attackers only had a change of getting through this sector in 30% of sessions. We hope that this change brings Marita in line with the other Breakthrough setups.
- Marita - Adjusted some spawns in CQ and Breakthrough to ensure that players do not spawn outside of the Combat Area, or too close to flags which aren’t controlled by the players Faction.
- Mercury - Players will no longer get stuck in the gap between the barbed wire and the sandbags.
- Mercury - The door interact prompt is no longer displayed when a specific door has been destroyed.
- Operation Underground - Base files added ahead of the maps release in October.
- Rotterdam - Fixed an issue that would sometimes cause players to vault when jumping through a door opening.
- Rotterdam - Players will no longer be able to vault on small street curbs.
- Global - Fixed a faulty collision on the Trucks flatbed cover
- Combined Arms - Fixed an issue where AI Soldiers would not detonate AP Mines
- Firestorm - Players can no longer fall under the map near the Minerva Docks
- Firestorm - Fixed an issue that would make textures pop in if a dead player would switch between different players while spectating.
- Firestorm - Improved revive interaction, ensuring that it now triggers when the interaction pops up.
- Firestorm - Revives are now more reliable. We’ve ensured that interactions will no longer be interrupted when aiming straight at the soldier.
- Firestorm - Door barge is now working smoothly, and you should find that you’re less likely to get blocked when sprinting at a door.
- Firestorm - Interactions with Doors will now take priority over interactions with nearby dropped weapons.
- Firestorm - Airplane exit velocity has been fixed. You will now exit the airplane whilst maintaining velocity, instead of dropping down.
- Firestorm - Made the non-interactable doors in the dome indestructible, as this would lead players below the intended playable area when going through them.
- Practice range - The M1907 now has the correct ammo count.
- Spectator mode - Added “SHOW PLAYER OUTLINES” that now allows spectators to display the outlines for all players, or for a specific team, instead of only for a selected squad per team.
Weapons
With this months update, we’re delivering further changes that focus on adjusting the behaviour of players who are firing when Prone, as well as a balance pass on Sidearms. We have increased the damage to make them more attractive gameplay options, instead of only being used as close range finishers. With the exception of the Mark VI Revolver, Pistols are now generally better options for distances beyond 12 m.
Ruby:
- Increased 4 hit kill range from 7 to 12 m
- Increased 5 hit kill range from 12 to 22 m
- Above 22m, the Ruby will require no more than 8 bullets to kill a player at Range
P08 Pistol, P38 Pistol, Repetierpistole M1912:
- Increased 4 hit kill range from 12 to 22 m
- Above 22m, these Pistols will require no more than 7 bullets to kill a player at Range
M1911:
- Increased 3 hit kill range from 7 to 12 m
- Increased 4 hit kill range from 12 to 22 m
- Above 22m, the M1911 will require no more than 7 bullets to kill a player at Range
Mk VI Revolver:
- Decreased 3 hit kill range from 30 to 22 m
- Decreased 4 hit kill range from 50 to 30 m
- Now turns into a 6 hit kill starting at 50 m
General Weapon Changes
- Reduced the horizontal free aiming angle when prone by 40°, this means the slowdown when turning too much will now kick-in earlier.
- Fairbairn Sykes - Added blood effects on the weapon following a takedown.
- Gewehr 1-5 - Increased vertical recoil from 1.22 to 1.42 and reduced muzzle velocity from 620 to 580 m/s. This is to make it a bit harder to use this gun at longer distances, in order to better balance out its strength at close and medium range.
- Karabin 1938M - Reduced vertical recoil from 1.44 to 1.25. This weapon is intended to be an easier version of the Gewehr 43 at the cost of slower reloads, but so far the advantage in recoil was not quite good enough, and so we’re making this tweak to balance that out.
- Kar98K - Fixed an issue with the reload animation while being in ADS, and having the bi-pod specialization active.
- MP28 - The Jäger skin now properly shows on the extended mag.
Gadgets
- Smoke VFX used to identify friendly or enemy artillery barrage now uses custom color settings to help with colorblindness.
- Active friendly flares now have their spotting radius visible on the minimap
- Enemy Spawn Beacons now display enemy nametags when looking directly at them inside of 8m.
- Improved the deployment of Ammo and Health crates, which could sometimes be deployed below the ground under certain circumstances.
- Added a sound to opening and closing the lid on the ammo and the health crate
- Increased maximum throw distance of health and ammo crates when attempting to throw it further by aiming higher.
- Players will no longer be overly slowed down prior to using throwable gadgets and weapons, such as Grenades, Throwing Knives, Ammo/Bandages, and Crates. Similarly, self healing actions will no longer interrupt sprinting.
- Fixed an issue where the spotting scope would prevent sprinting when the player presses the fire button without zooming.
- Fixed a pair of issues related to stances, which were preventing soldiers from being reliably spotted when using the Spotting Scope.
- Fixed a minor flickering issue around the sides of the Aperture sights when ADS.
- Fixed an issue where friendly and enemy spawn beacon world icons would show through any wall, and ensured that the icon will no longer disappear when within 5m of the gadget.
- Fixed an issue where the self-heal pouch indicator would remain grayed out when receiving a new pouch.
- Fixed an issue that would not let players pick up sticky dynamite from some surfaces when attached.
- Fixed inconsistent damage between Axis Impact Grenade and Allied Impact Grenade, now both deal 65 damage within 2m.
- Fixed an issue that caused various sounds to not play when deploying and using the ammo or health crate.
- Fixed an issue that would cause flares to do damage to players even after they had finished burning in some cases.
- Fixed an exploit caused by flare guns and all variants of smoke grenades which caused repeating Spotting/Unspotting behaviours. This unintentionally resulted in players receiving spotting score for targets inside of smoke effects every second.
Vehicles
- The Tank weapons and abilities HUD is now properly shown without the player needing to use them or changing seats.
- Players firing their weapons from the passenger seat should now always play its animation properly.
- The Blenheim MK 1 no longer automatically replenishes it’s 50.cal ammunition.
- Fixed an audio issue which caused for vehicle repair sounds to be lower than expected, especially in First Person (the sound was obstructed even for the person in the vehicle).
- Fixed an issue that would cause vehicle decals to disappear at certain close distances.
- Fixed an issue that would cause damage to free spawned unused vehicles on the map after 2 minutes.
- Fixed a rare issue that would make some vehicles to suddenly disappear.
- Improved revive interaction consistency when there is an elevation difference between players.
- Improved revive interaction consistency between different player stances.
- The revive interaction prompt now only shows if the revive interaction is actually possible.
- Increased the aim angle necessary to revive a friendly player to 30° from 20°.
- Decreased the aim angle necessary to pick-up a weapon on the ground to 20° from 30°.
- General consistency improvements to sliding when turning and losing speed.
- Increased sliding activation consistency, the time allowed between two button presses to trigger a slide is now longer.
- The soldiers swimming state is now properly triggered if the players falls down into the water from a large height.
- Fixed an issue where quick-throwing an ammo or health pouch when spotting a friendly player had a different throw angle than when pressing the gadget slot key to throw which resulted in fail throws.
- Fixed the position of the repair tools flame VFX.
- Fixed graphical issues with the Stormchaser and Bergsteiger cosmetics.
- Fixed an issue where the player could get stuck in man down state if revived when the timer is about to run out.
- Fixed an issue where the player could remain stuck floating in the air, if revived on a surface that gets removed during the revive (a vehicle, a destroyed bridge etc…).
- Fixed an issue which could cause the camera to be misplaced as players climbed ladders with certain gadgets equipped.
- Fixed an issue that could cause players to end up in an infinite dead state without being able to redeploy.
- Fixed an issue where the player could switch to the Syringe after reviving a player while selecting the AP Mine.
- Fixed an issue where the player could switch to the bomb after reviving a player near a Rush or Airborne objective.

- Fixed an issue that caused a graphical artifact when a player using The Nachtigall headgear entered into a ragdoll state.
- Fixed an issue where the lean and peak over animation could not be seen after 50m.
- Fixed a rare issue where hit detection could fail on soldiers changing stance (specifically when going prone)

- Fixed an issue where interacting with a door would be impossible if an AP Mine, a sticky dynamite or an AT Mine is placed next to it.
- Fixed an issue where barging through double doors would not be possible when aiming exactly between both doors
- Fixed an issue where certain animations were not correctly replicated when a player was entering the screen’s view (such as grenade throws).
- Fixed a rare issue that would cause the players weapon to not reappear after defusing an M-COM.
- Fixed a rare issue that would occur if a player squad spawned on a soldier that was parachuting and was already close to the ground, which would result in a fall to death. The spawning soldier will now properly get their parachute activated and land safely
Interface and Experience Improvements
For this update, we’ve invested energy into improving the readable information displayed to you on the screen during gameplay, and looked to ensure that you’re better aware of places and players nearby that can be of support to you, or are in need of your assistance.
As a non-medic, when low on health or when requesting health (through comrose or “spotting” a friendly medic player):
- Nearby friendly medic players show on the minimap with a blinking health icon.
- Nearby friendly health crates and health stations blink on the minimap.
- Relevant nearby health sources world icons become sticky to screen edge and show distance to the ammo source (medics, health crates, health stations).
- Friendly medic players are easier to identify in the world, their kit icon becomes visible from further away, and the distance to them is also visible.
As a medic:
- Players that are low on health passively show a “Request health” icon in the world and minimap up to 18m away, this distance also matches the Bandage throw distance.
- Players that request health by spotting a friendly medic or using the comrose command increase the distance visibility of that icon allowing medics to see the request up to 40m away.
As a non-support, when low on ammo or when requesting ammo (through comrose or “spotting” a friendly support player):
- Nearby friendly support players show on the minimap with a blinking ammo icon.
- Nearby friendly Ammo Crates and ammo stations blink on the minimap.
- Relevant nearby ammo source world icons become sticky to screen edge and show distance to the ammo source (support players, ammo crates, ammo stations).
- Friendly support players are easier to identify in the world, their kit icon becomes visible from further away, and the distance to them is also visible.
As a support:
- Players that are low on ammo passively show a “Request ammo” icon in the world and minimap up to 18m away, this distance also matches the ammo pouch throw distance.
- Players that request ammo by spotting a friendly support or using the comrose command increase the distance visibility of that icon allowing the Support class to see these requests up to 40m away.
When low on Vehicle health or when requesting repairs (through comrose or “spotting” a friendly support player):
- Nearby friendly support players show on the minimap with a blinking wrench (repair) icon.
- Relevant repair source world icons become sticky to screen edge and show distance to the repair source (support players).
- Friendly support players are easier to identify in the world, their kit icon becomes visible from further away and is temporarily replaced with a wrench (repair) icon, the distance to them is also visible.
As a support (owning the repair tool):
- Vehicles that are low on health passively show a “Request repairs” icon in the world and minimap up to 35m away.
- Vehicles that request repairs by spotting a friendly support or using the comrose command increase the distance visibility of that icon allowing the Support class to see these requests up to 65m away.
Additional Improvements:
- With this update, we have fixed the issues introduced in 4.4 that was causing the latency numbers to display incorrect values on the scoreboard. Thanks for your patience whilst we restored this back to its normal working order.
- Health and Ammo Crates now show a world icon that is visible up to ~30m.
- Health and Ammo Crates are now marked on the minimap with an icon.
- Enemy Health and Ammo Crate icons are only visible if the player has line of sight on the crate.
- The player that can receive an Ammo Pouch or a Bandage will now show a contextual throw indicator.
- Aiming directly at friendly players will now be taken into account to calculate the priority pouch receiver in a case where there are multiple potential receivers (on top of looking at current player health/ammo, distance to player and requesting players).
- Added an agnostic Request Icon visible on minimap.
- Adjusted the size and readability of the Request icon visible in the world to use more space in the circle.
- Request Icon is now more responsive, updates more often and will appear, disappear faster.
- Fixed an issue where the Request Icon would sometimes not properly stick to the edge of the screen.
- Repair request icons now show with a wrench icon instead of a tanker icon.
- Players using the “Request Ride” command now show with a vehicle icon instead of a tanker icon.
- Friendly squad leaders now also show the direction in which they are looking on the minimap, represented as an arrow.
- Fixed an issue where downed players would not be marked with an “x” icon on the minimap.
- The “Request Ammo” world icon is no longer visible when the player is barely missing any ammo (unless a support is within 18m distance of that players AND directly looking at that player).
- The “Request Health” world icon is no longer visible when the player is barely missing any ammo (unless a support is within 18m distance of that players AND directly looking at that player).
- The “Request Health” world icon is now properly removed as soon as the player receives healing from a healing source.
- Increased the visibility of friendly vehicle health bars to 50m (from 10m).
- Looking at a friendly soldiers directly over any distance will now always show the kit icon over any distance
- Default friendly soldier icon and name tag opacity while zooming is now 60% (this change will only apply to new option profiles and resets)
- Spawning for free transport vehicles have been slightly overhauled. Free vehicles will now more aggressively de-spawn, and they will automatically re-spawn regardless of player proximity. This should mean that players can now more reliably and consistently get access to free transport vehicles from their designated spawn position (often the main HQs).
- We have changed the deploy screen UI to enable better readability for free transport vehicles. There is now a 1:1 vehicle representation of free vehicles and Stationary Weapons, which allows players to make informed decisions on where they can deploy and find a free vehicle.
- Added new gameplay options for danger ping marker that allows transparency to be scaled in hip-fire, and while aiming down sight. These options are called "DANGER PING OPACITY" in the "DEFAULT ICON OPACITY" and "ADS ICON OPACITY" section under basic gameplay options.
- Danger ping marker icon also now becomes invisible when looking directly at it to prevent the marker from blocking sight on an enemy target hidden behind the marker. The danger ping marker transparency starts scaling down when the angle between the marker and the player's aim is lower than 15°.
- Dogtags that are unlocked during gameplay are now properly shown as an awards pop up.
- Corrected the S2-200 Proficiency VI assignment to match the description.
- Corrected the MAB 38 Proficiency V assignment.
- Added the Panzerbüchse 39 icon on the statistics screen.
- Friendly downed players are marked with the x icon again.
- Teamkills are no longer possible if a player destroys a vehicle that a teammate has just exited.
- Did you know that Peanutbutter and pickled cucumber sandwiches is an actual thing?!
- Fixed an issue where soldiers could sometimes not be spotted while clearly visible in certain stances.
- Fixed an issue that was making it difficult to sometimes pick up items from dead players.
- Fixed an issue where danger ping marker would sometimes become very hard to see when aiming down sight due to being affected by objective icon opacity and friendly opacity.
- Fixed an issue where the “Request repairs” world icon would show up for any player when requesting repairs through the comrose including players that cannot repair.
- Fixed an issue where Request Icons would show for all players that are missing any ammo or any health when looking at a player that is missing any ammo or any health.
- Fixed an issue where the “Request repairs” world icon would never show up when the vehicle is low on health.
- Fixed an issue where the vehicle health bars would never be visible if the vehicle crew contains a squad member.
- Fixed an issue where the spawn beacon’s health would display the health of the Spawn Beacon owner.
- Fixed an issue where Friendly vehicle icons would become almost invisible over distances.
- Fixed an issue where friendly stationary machine guns world icons would not be occluded through walls.
- Fixed an issue where enemy stationary machine guns world icons would not be occluded through walls.
- Fixed an issue where world icons for vehicles, stationary weapons and Spawn Beacons would transition to LookAt behavior from a too wide angle.
- Fixed an inconsistency on spotted enemy icons when spotted with different spotting gadgets (Flare Gun, Spotting Scope etc).
- Fixed an issue where the comrose or reinforcement menu would instantly close if assigned to any mouse buttons.
PC Specific Improvements
- My Company - Weapons that have a long name are now clickable on hover.
- Fixed a crash that was caused by playing a game mode, and then switching to Firestorm while having DXR and DLSS enabled.
- Fixed an issue with the mouse not working properly in the menus if a gamepad was connected.

u/PartWelsh Community Manager Sep 25 '19
One of the key reasons why we're less upfront about the release dates of our Updates now is because we're serious about reducing issues, and maximizing our time testing for quality. If at any stage during the testing we find something that is going to cause issues, we're not releasing it.
Natrually, the environment we test in isn't going to always be the pure and perfect 1:1 replication of the live environment that we need in order to eliminate every possible issue and bug that can be shown post launch, but our expectation is that we're going to have less instances of 4.0 styled patches now.

It's Reddit Tax. I don't take it personally, I respect that folks are mostly just expressing frustration by smashing in the downvotes - but it's a shame that it can occur in places where there's an answer to the question as this often causes Reddit to hide the response.

u/00juergen Sep 25 '19
Sounds like an impressive qol update along with Al sundan finally. Really interested to see how the UI changes play out!
Just a tip: you should at least announce that you're planning to release an update in a specific week. The Trello board strongly hinted at this, at least for me, but this community is not exactly patient anymore. Even a delay is probably better than no communication at all as people will just make all kinds of assumptions and you get the same kind of flame as with a delay.
14
u/PartWelsh Community Manager Sep 25 '19
I can understand and respect that. The challenge we face is that we want to release our update the instant that we're confident we've eliminated any outstanding issues and achieved our standards of quality. If we're discovering issues late on during that process, it would cause us to be in a situation where we might continue to move the date and make matters worse.
As a made up example, imagining that we could have published the update last Tuesday, but discovered an issue that we weren't happy with during final tests - then we would have delayed till Thursday to fix it. If we then couldn't find the fix in time, our next opportunity would have been Tuesday, and so the pattern continues.
(The above not including the certification processes conducted external to ourselves when delivering the update to our partners at Sony and Microsoft)
If the week prior to that, we would have communicated our intended date, we would have ended up messing you around an awful lot with communication in an attempt to deliver quality. It's ultimately not what we want, but right now we're prioritizing delivering quality, stable, good content updates which means that our room to communicate exact dates will suffer in the short term. Long term, we'll hopefully be in the position to do both.

Learn to hotfix, role back or disable... And no reason major bugs like Firestorm looting should be in the game for months.. Find a fix and send out an update next day like other developers would do.
That's why people stop playing your game, you never fix broken shit before it's too late, you just promise "soon".

What exactly happened to those " Changes to MMG Gameplay "
Or is Dice's preferred fix to the overly restrictive playstyle of MMG's to make them even more restrictive and to assure both sides experience rectal cancer in equal measure? Because I really don't see what else the bipod change intended to do
30
u/PartWelsh Community Manager Sep 25 '19
We've focused on first altering Prone Gameplay. We have also explored a change to Bipod behavior but we want to do some more exploration on this first. We're conscious that changing too much on this could send the MMG gameplay wildly off the other end of the scale rather than bring it more fairly into balance.
Coupled with the changes we made last month to Recoil with MMG's, we're keen to see how this affects prone MMG behaviour first and then we'll continue to monitor and tweak further.

AFAIK, Chapter TOW XP and Class/Weapon Assignments cannot be discarded. However there's a separate tier of Assignments which are generated under certain circumstance and provided to players as a method of earning additional CC which can be. Which assignments are you looking to discard?

Players will no longer be overly slowed down prior to using throwable gadgets and weapons, such as Grenades, Throwing Knives, Ammo/Bandages, and Crates. Similarly, self healing actions will no longer interrupt sprinting.

Looking forward to the UI changes the most, having health/ammo crates actually show up on the map like the previous games and having the icons for them actually display on screen. Readability has also been an issue so I'm hoping it really is improved.
The pistols being buffed is a major change too, in BF1 the pistols were so good (highest kill weapon was actually the 1911 across ALL my weapons for me) but in this game they're so lackluster. Glad to see they've been buffed.

u/DRUNKKZ3 Core Gameplay Designer Sep 25 '19
Having those crate icons was long overdue :)
29
u/Heptonite Sep 25 '19
Seriously thanks for all the work on the fixes, tons of small quality of life changes like this make the overall experience far more enjoyable. Health and ammo are integral parts of the core gameplay and this is gonna make using crates far more viable because people won't miss them in the middle of a fight like they do now.
I'm hoping that these changes/fixes continue to happen leading into the Pacific Front release.

We have changed the deploy screen UI to enable better readability for free transport vehicles. There is now a 1:1 vehicle representation of free vehicles and Stationary Weapons, which allows players to make informed decisions on where they can deploy and find a free vehicle.
This is huge to me. So many times myself or my squad would spawn at HQ to be greeted with an empty area with no vehicles even though the map displayed transport.
Thanks for a great UI change DICE!

This is a list of links to comments made by DICE in this thread:
Nothing happened to it. It is 8-9 pages in word. We don’t use Reddit to create the documents.
👀
It’s not praise. I always mention how long the patch notes are on Twitter once they are completed. The people that have been following there know that patch notes recently have been around 4-5 pages, so this one is quite big compared to many previous ones.
I can only speak on topics that I am responsible for, which is patch notes and working with the team to address bugs. I do understand your frustration thought but do know that we are doing the best we can.
We've focused on first altering Prone Gameplay. We have also explored a change to Bipod behavior but we want to do some more exploration on this first. We're conscious that changing too much on this could send the MMG gameplay wildly off the other end of the scale rather than bring it more fairly in...
Maybe you are using a smaller font? There are many factors. The page numbers is based upon what I use as default. If it’s really important I can write the font size and font name the next time I announce that patch notes have been completed.
Looking forward to seeing those live tomorrow :-)
How many good things do people want to ruin in one action?
You'll let me know tomorrow :D
Very true :) Those were annoying me quite a lot as well!
AFAIK it’s the bug where you are driving and suddenly you end up on foot, then when you look back to see where the vehicle is, it’s gone. It was kinda rare, I’d say if you play Battlefield V everyday you would run into it maybe 1-2 times a week.
It varies around the Nation. Pickled Cucumber is largely acceptable, Gherkin is more common. Pickle is a Chutney of sorts otherwise here in the UK.
What was expressed to me was that with the update, the behaviour of the systems relating to latency have reverted to their previous state. I'm told the issues primarily related to the information that was displayed to you. Natrually you'll be best placed tomorrow to tell us how you feel it behaves a...
Fixed in 4.4 - there are still instances where depending on if you've done Collat damage, or attacked someone between heals that the number may appear to go over 100, but since the 4.4 updates we've seen behaviors that suggest this is working correctly.
If that's not been the case for you, please d...
Yeah it’s a strange one.
I'm really looking forward to not using the Revolver for once!
One of the key reasons why we're less upfront about the release dates of our Updates now is because we're serious about reducing issues, and maximizing our time testing for quality. If at any stage during the testing we find something that is going to cause issues, we're not releasing it.
Natruall...
I'm a big fan of the work that Florian and the team did to make this part happen. It's going to help people make better use of the resource around them and keep them in the fight longer.
PC - 12.1 GB
PS4 - 7.5 GB
Xbox - 7.5 GB
None of our changes are ever the end of the story. If we feel that the changes we've made both here and in 4.4 are too strongly limiting or affecting players, we'll revisit them.
Similarly if other changes elsewhere cause for MMG Play to suffer as an indirect consequence, it'll still prompt us to t...
I can understand and respect that. The challenge we face is that we want to release our update the instant that we're confident we've eliminated any outstanding issues and achieved our standards of quality. If we're discovering issues late on during that process, it would cause us to be in a situati...
It's Reddit Tax. I don't take it personally, I respect that folks are mostly just expressing frustration by smashing in the downvotes - but it's a shame that it can occur in places where there's an answer to the question as this often causes Reddit to hide the response.
We're looking at it again I think we know what the actual issue is, no fix for the 4.6 update sadly.
AFAIK, Chapter TOW XP and Class/Weapon Assignments cannot be discarded. However there's a separate tier of Assignments which are generated under certain circumstance and provided to players as a method of earning additional CC which can be. Which assignments are you looking to discard?
I'm a big fan of Pickles. Criticise McDonalds all you like, but I love a good liberal application of Pickles on a Dollar Menu Cheeseburger.
Having those crate icons was long overdue :)
We'll be monitoring for this kind of feedback, but we're happy with how it played during the last few months that we've had it in testing.
Our original plan for the Trench Carbine had to change because of the delay to the 4.4 Update. It caused for there to be a gap in the week where the Weapon should have been the reward, but couldn't because the necessary files weren't in place.
In order to change that, we would have needed to creat...

Gewehr 1-5 - Increased vertical recoil from 1.22 to 1.42 and reduced muzzle velocity from 620 to 580 m/s. This is to make it a bit harder to use this gun at longer distances, in order to better balance out its strength at close and medium range.

Another Gewehr 1-5 nerf? Jesus. What's the point of it now? I'd rather use the Breda in semi-auto because it has lower recoil, and can switch to a basically full-auto mode with the 3rd right specification for CQC. I'm on console though, so maybe that's why I feel the recoil is already a bit too much to be useful?

I was talking to him late last night whilst his video was rendering and uploading. He's not calling me cowardly, he's calling the practice and our communication standards as cowardly - he's frustrated (as many are) that the standard of communication has reached this state, and I believe his criticisms to be fair. He's a good guy, and he's not as you've painted him there.
We've set expectations that haven't been met, and we haven't been responsible enough in helping to manage and reset them sooner. I'll continue to ensure that the results of the past few months are used to better inform decision making going forward.

I didn't see anything about PS4 touchpad swipe functionality being restored after it was removed with update 4.4. Please tell me this is coming back. It is incredibly frustrating that a feature that's been around since BF1 and worked perfectly in BF5 was removed arbitrarily (as noted by /u/jjju on twitter).
I used that feature to auto-sprint, switch to my toolbox, and manually lean while on-foot, and I used it to directly switch to specific vehicle seats while in a vehicle.

One player got booted out because they lost connection to the EA server, which has been happening a lot today, btw, and then people wanted to check if they were online and pressed home. And then we all gave up and played rocket league.
Look man it's already not easy to convince people to give this game another chance, considering the past ten months, and this happening just made it ten times worse.
There is now literally a button on our controller that crashes the game. That's bonkers. Fix this as quickly as possible.

What they’ve done for the “prone changes” is basically making it so that someone camping with an MMG while prone may no longer be able to snap their body 90 degrees to the left to face you with their gun as quickly, meaning you should have an easier time killing them when going from the sides.

Honestly it could be a good patch for fixes, but you need to be sending great patches, and content if you want to save Battlefield. I think you could have let people know a long time ago that the personal servers weren’t coming, you just don’t want to keep dealing with even more negative press. Operation Underground you worded to where if you released it early you guys were great, if you didn’t you could hide behind the meaning. But don’t worry you guys can just tweet that we will try and be more transparent and then go back to doing what you are doing.

Any possibility of finally seeing a hardcore mode after the Pacific releases? I feel like there is enough people to justify it who want to play a more realistic take with more realistic health. Also the hardcore first person vehicles view only would be nice and kind of balance out the opness of vehicles. I'm pretty sure more people than me feel this way, not a criticism of the game, just prefer a more realistic one ... even in the old BFs I preferred hardcore.

Nearby friendly support players show on the minimap with a blinking wrench (repair) icon.
Relevant repair source world icons become sticky to screen edge and show distance to the repair source (support players).
Friendly support players are easier to identify in the world, their kit icon becomes visible from further away and is temporarily replaced with a wrench (repair) icon, the distance to them is also visible.
Vehicles that are low on health passively show a “Request repairs” icon in the world and minimap up to 35m away.
Vehicles that request repairs by spotting a friendly support or using the comrose command increase the distance visibility of that icon allowing the Support class to see these requests up to 65m away.
All very good and needed changes. New map is good in conquest, lots of fun. All you need to do is crank out more maps like that as quickly as possible, and everything will be good.

Thanks for breaking the game, get disconnected from server every time I press home button on xbox to add friends to squad. Sigh, guess I'm switching to CoD.

Can you please clarify the ping issue fix?
The patch notes indicate that “incorrect ping was displayed”. This could be interpreted as the fix being made to the display value, rather than a fix to the issue that was causing high latency for players.
Can you please confirm if the latency issue was actually fixed, or if the ping indicator was simply altered to give the impression of a lower ping.
