Battlefield 2042 Set to Receive Another Major Update With Crucial Fixes Today

Battlefield 2042 reveals yet another bug-fixing update with the major focus on improving bullet hit registration consistency. It also includes balance changes regarding bullet dispersion and recoil. Most importantly, the latest patch resolves the bug that makes players appear invisible to enemies. Update 0.3.1 also takes care of several other issues as well related to grenades and launchers.

“Update #3.1 is our last game update before the start of the holidays,” DICE said. The developer shared the news of the fresh patch on the official Twitter account of Battlefield 2042. The launch of this key update means that there won’t be any other new patches until the beginning of 2022, as the developing team is going on a break for the rest of this month. It also implies that, in case players find any more issues, they will need to wait for a brand new bug-fixing update.

Speaking of what’s new in the latest patch; it aims to reduce the gameplay problems the players are facing since the release of Battlefield 2042.

The anticipated launch didn’t deliver on fans’ expectations. As a result, the game has become a common topic of controversy these days. Although it seems like DICE will keep trying to prevent it from turning into a mess of a release, by coming up with necessary solutions. And the new update is yet another step in that direction.
