First major Battlefield 3 patch now live

Update for military shooter released on PC, addresses a number of issues and brings new squad functionality

Posted on
DICE has announced that the first major patch for Battlefield 3 is now live for PC users, and will be released on consoles in the near future.

Patch notes
include:
• General performance and loading time improvements
• Fixed a problem with high speed mouse movement(aka "negative mouse acceleration")
• Grenades now drop to ground if you get killed while attempting to throw it
• You should no longer spawn too close to enemies in TDM, SQDM, or Conquest
• A large number of damage and range tweaks on a number of weapons to fine-tune overall balance in the game
• Added round duration and ticket summary at End of Round screen
• EOD Bot exploit fix
• Anti-stat padding measures taken, disallowing ranked servers to run obscure settings
• Improved team kill kick configuration
• Support for unranked servers. Unranked servers do not report players' scores to Battlelog, but server administrators can freely control all settings
• Single sign on from Battlelog to Origin

A number of squad functionality has been altered as well. Changes include removal of squad search button, replaced instead by ability to invite others. Players can join empty Squads alone, thus having 1/4 squad members. Full, empty, and existing squad colors modified in menu for easier identification. The Privacy flag will only be set with at least two members in squad - dropping to one member will reset the setting and allow the public to join.

The update will be applied automatically via Origin for PC users. Battlefield 3 released last month for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and Windows PC.
