Battlefield 4 PC Patch Gets Released

Developer DICE has released the Battlefield 4 PC patch, which includes the infamous sound loop crash, among other fixes.

The following are the full PC patch notes, directly from the BattleLog:

• Fix for a crash that would cause the game to stall, resulting in a sound loop. This should eliminate most of the problems relating to this
• Fix for the SUAV (introduced in the China Rising expansion pack) not exploding when hitting enemy soldiers. While these indeed should be deadly, they were never designed for “roadkilling” opponents
• Fix for an issue where 4x the damage from a vehicle’s minigun would be applied to the chest when a player had the Defense specialization equipped
• Fix for player tags not always showing when needed to, resulting in players shooting team members
• Fix for graphical flickering appearing on terrain
• Fixed the instance where players suddenly would transition into Spectator Mode while playing the Defuse game mode
• Fix for a Defuse bug where none of the teams would win a round by letting the timer run out. -Fix for players getting stuck in the revive screen after being killed
• Fix for players getting stuck in the kill camera after being revived
• Fix for the game mode specific ribbons being counted twice in the multiplayer progression
• Made NVidia 331.82 or later driver versions mandatory for all players
• Disabled DirectX 11.1 on NVidia cards that have outdated drivers
• Fixed driver version not being properly detected on NVidia Optimus systems
• Fixed a minor crash that could occur when bringing up the scoreboard
• Fixed one of the issues related to the so-called “Netcode” (see below for details)

“Netcode” improvement:

We’ve addressed the so called “Kill trading”. This refers to when two players fire at each other and, seemingly, both die at the same time. The time window where a bullet could cause damage from an already dead player is now calculated as intended, decreasing the timeframe when players with high latency could get a kill, even though they should be dead according to the server.

Let us know if you Battlefield 4 PC game experience has improved once you download the patch.
