Battlefield 3 Open Beta gets first patch details

Posted by SpectralShock on

DICE has gone live with a blog post, the first in a series of posts, that will outline some of the changes being made to Battlefield 3’s final version.

Thanks to fan feedback and participation in the currently on-going Battlefield 3 Multiplayer open beta, the developers are already implementing fixes to the final product.

A selection of changes, which are expected to be released as a day-1 patch, include:
* Fixed occasional client crash when reviving
* Fixed killcam showing glitched area under map if your killer is dead
* Issue with spawning on dead squad mates fixed
* Fixed a bug where shooting at a moving enemy could cause more than the intended amount of damage
* Crosshairs for shotguns have been replaced with a new, thinner, art
* A subtle low health screen effect has been added
* Tweaked the Rank progression
* Framerate stability fixes
* Fixed issue with crosshair disappearing after trying to deploy while the countdown timer still active
* Squad list now shows specializations chosen, VOIP activity and dead squad mates

More changes are promised in the future, and as further feedback is gained from the beta.

Battlefield 3 is coming to PC, Xbox 360, and PlayStation 3 on October 25, 2011.
