• Various fixes for improving general stability

Fixed flickering in map and minimap on Rouge Transmission and Operation Locker

Fix for friendly marker not always showing when needed to, resulting in players shooting team members

Fixed problem with killer health in kill card not being correctly updated (showing 100% health even though the soldier was hurt)

EU Players: Fixed bug where game wouldn’t start when when the console was running in any of these languages: Japanese, Dutch, Portuguese, Traditional Chinese, Korean, Czech, Brazilian Portuguese

Fix for bug where it looked like soldier was dying with 1 health instead of 0

Fixed a player feedback timing issue where blood was appearing before other damage indicators, and before damage was actually done

This was the only one I was noticing, really confused me.

This is one of the fixes I've been waiting for more than. The amount of accidental team kills in Hardcore I've commited thanks to this has been embarrassing!

[TigerBurge 2,375]

Got a question,in hardcore do teammates not have markers above them?

By Uber's post, I'd assume there's meant to be but it's bugged. To be fixed in this patch.

 

My only game in HC and I killed so many teammates. Not because of the issue but because team killing Stretch/TigerBurge was oh so funsies.

[TigerBurge 2,375]

Yea that's what I was thinking. I don't mind kill you

Yeah team mates do have markers over them, but typically (until now hopefully) you had to ADS at them first, by which some herbert on the other side has made the most of your hesitation and shot you!

Yea, you had to ADS on them, or just be able to spot the uniform.....

 

In COD I exclusively played Hardcore, on BF4, I just can't do it, the level of pain involved is epic

 

Do we know if the PS3 lockup bug is being addressed in this patch? Randomly the game just freezes on me, and I have to power cycle the whole system, wait for the error report and disk scan before playing more.

I love how the ps4 just automatically downloads this as soon as you turn it on.

 

Thank you Sony <3

[Sennex 1,903]

Ps3 does it as well, if you set it to auto update your games.

 

Mine is set to grab all game updates at like 3am every day

[tronic44 3,642]

Well there's something i never knew, gah that would have been useful!

[Sennex 1,903]

Sorry man, that sucks

[tronic44 3,642]

Sorry man, that sucks

Na my own fault, i never look at manuals or read anything.

 

I'm one of them "i know what i doing" sort of dudes and generally i do but there's always little things that i dont know that could be useful.

[PrivateParts_93 220]

Yay making this game even better ! Yet to play with any of you yet.

[TigerBurge 2,375]

So now instead of it saying 1 health it says 0 health. Doesn't really bother me but made for a few good laughs at Euan.

[Chookes 965]

I was being killed by ghosts, this game is f**king haunted and they be shitting on me K.D, yo.

If you leave it on stand by it will download before you even turn it on, it only worked on PS3 if you had ps+

Oh cool, I didn't know that it was PS+ that was causing that

 

Looks like I need to buy another couple years then. I want to make sure I have that service for a while to come

[burnfitbillyboy 505]

Yeah Ps+ is a good service and with the amount of freebies you get your money's worth

All of these are still on ps3 unfortunately. the HMG ammo box is a pain, the lack of sound at the start of the game can be a pain too.

hopefully they will address the health issues on ps3 too, as you get "tit for tat" killing quite often, and the other player is on 1 health.

another bug ive found is when moving in vehicles and trying to bring up the scoreboard, it just flashes really fast like the graphics card is freaking out and you cant see whats going on
