DICE continues to patch Battlefield 4

DICE's patching of first-person shooter Battlefield 4 continues.Yesterday the developer issued a new update for the PC version that addresses stability and balancing issues, graphical glitches, repair rate speeds and more.The 13th January PC game patch notes are below:

• Various fixes for improving general stability
• Fixed a memory leak issue occurring after level shutdowns, which could result in a out-of-memory crash in longer play sessions
• Additional fix for the "sound loop" deadlock when running High/Ultra graphics settings
• Added a warning for using Legacy AMD drivers that were out of date
• Fixed a player feedback timing issue where blood was appearing before other damage indicators, and before damage was actually done
• Fixed a bug where players' rank icons on the scoreboard would not be updated
• Fix for Asian users unable to start Battlefield 3 and Battlefield 4 on Windows 8.1
• 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 per cent health even though the soldier was hurt)
• Fix for friendly marker not always showing when needed to, resulting in players shooting team members
• Fixed a bug where a 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 each other. 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
• Fix for player spawning under the map when deploying on Lancang Dam
• Fixed flickering in map and minimap on Rogue Transmission and Operation Locker

Meanwhile, updates for the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3 versions of the game are due out today at around 10am. The patch notes for these will be available soon.Last month DICE responded to the troubled launch of Battlefield 4 by suspending development of all future projects to sort it all out.
