EA DICE has issued a new cross-platform update (http://blogs.battlefield.com/2014/04/rent-a-server-death-shield-fix/) for its competitive first-person shooter Battlefield 4 (http://www.joystiq.com/game/battlefield-4), fixing a widely reported multiplayer glitch and introducing the Rent-A-Server program for console players.

Announced last month (http://www.joystiq.com/2014/03/10/rentable-battlefield-4-servers-on-the-way-for-consoles/), EA's Rent-A-Server program gives console owners control over in-game parameters like friendly fire, team balance, map rotation, and regenerating health during multiplayer matches. Rent-A-Server prices range from $1.49 for one-day access to $59.99 for a 90-day rental. Currently, the service is temporarily unavailable on the Xbox One as EA investigates post-launch issues.

This week's update additionally patches out a reported "Death Shield" glitch, which would envelop killed players with an invisible bullet-blocking shield in Battlefield 4's multiplayer component. The fix is available now across all platforms.
