Latest patch addresses some stability issues and reduces risk of save files corrupting

DICE has released a new Battlefield 4 title update for the Xbox One version of the game.

Among other features, the studio says the latest patch addresses some stability issues and reduces the risk of single-player save files becoming corrupt. DICE also warns that there may be some Battlefield 4 downtime while the update is being deployed.

DICE released the latest Battlefield 4 PC patch on Monday, PlayStation patches on Tuesday, and is finalising the next game update for Xbox 360.

Jan 15 Xbox One update notes

Various fixes for improving general stability
Fixed various random deadlocks (the so called "sound loop crash")
Fixed flickering in map and minimap on Rogue Transmission and Operation Locker
Fixed issue with player spawning under the map in Lancang Dam
Fixed broken collision on containers with open doors. The bug previously made grenades bounce back even though the doors were open
Fixed an occasional bug where players could experience intermittent engine sound dropouts when driving wheeled IFVs
Fixed camera glitch when switching weapons while moving in crouch
China Rising: Fixed animation glitch for motorbike passengers ocuring when aiming
Increased damage by 25% for the Stealth Jet 20mm cannons
Normalized repair rates across all vehicles. Vehicles with lower health points, like aircraft and transport vehicles, now repair more slowly than before
Fixed a bug where the M1 Abrams Coaxial HMG ammo box was occasionally blocking the driver's camera
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)
Fixed a bug where players' rank icons in the scoreboard would not be updated
Fixed issue with soldier health showing 1 HP in killcard instead of 0 HP
Fixed a player feedback timing issue where blood was appearing before other damage indicators, and before damage was actually done
Reduced the risk of single player campaign save file becoming corrupt

In December, DICE announced that it was halting work on Battlefield 4 DLC development until it fixed a number of the game's major issues.

"We know we still have a ways to go with fixing the game - it is absolutely our #1 priority," a spokesperson for publisher EA said at the time. "The team at DICE is working non-stop to update the game."
