How to download the March update on your platform

• PC: As soon as you start your Origin client, the latest game update will automatically start downloading (unless you’ve disabled the option “Automatically keep my games up to date”, in which case it will start downloading when you try to run the game). In Battlelog, you will be notified from the Game Manager. Once you acknowledge the update, it will start downloading within the Origin client.
• PlayStation 3: When you start the game, you will be prompted that there is an update available. To continue, you must accept the update, which will install automatically.

Fixed incorrect spelling on Aftermath dog tags.

Now that's some quality work! Only 3 months to correct spelling mistakes! Battlefield 4 pre-order pre-ordered!

TV-missile should no longer be able to blow up the helicopter shooting the missile.

I swear I've read this note several times now!!!

I swear I've read this note several times now!!!

Perhaps the TV-missile bug does indeed get fixed at last in this last patch for Bugfield 3, after all, the last DLC is called End Game.

Oh the fucking! irony.

[jalalalalabar]

Great, the first patch that didnt include any weapons balancing.

[Squadwin]

Patch notes look good, but the real question is: What will they break? What will they glitch?

We all know that fear, the fear of the patch!

Funny thing is, I wrote down a fix during beta for this. A very simple one. I even spoke to some devs suggesting it to them. But noes, DICE does it their way, which ends up in broken shit being ingame for years. I kind of doubt it will be fixed this time aswell. The bug initially happened due to the missle spawning right next to your chopper in stead at the nose for example and the missle spawning fully armed the moment you click the button instead of having an arming timer or distancemeter.

I'm not going to reinstall BF3, but I suggest you can easily test if it's fixed by simple flying sideways while your gunner fires some tvs.

8GB for based game and then 4.5GB(approx) for the latest patch and 2-3GB for End game. <- These are what you need to download.

Thing is the installation took away a lot of space...16GB after installed the based game...so even you only install EG, you still will end up with using 24-26GB from your HD.

That's what the 4GB of the patch is devoted to.

[jalalalalabar]

you have the option for download the dlc or not

[DaciaJC]

Don't use this thread to attack other members.

TV-missile should no longer be able to blow up the helicopter shooting the missile.

Notice should, not "wont" or "will not". Not sure if solved is what "should says".

[jalalalalabar]

Can I not download Operation Metro? And all other flustercuck choke points base maps?

If I don't download close quarters will I be able to use weapons from it?

once you unlock the weapon and you can use it on all maps. the weapon is installed with the patch not the dlc.

I said you have the option for downloading the dlc and is OM a dlc? I dont think so man.

[Stogg3r]

"Levels affected: Earthquake" Is this supposed to mean the Aftermath maps?

[MentalDepravity]

so still no fix for the barely functional sound on consoles after 18 months

GG DICE

is sound a BF4 feature then?

You Sir are a crafty one

You Sir are a crafty one

What can is say.


On a serious not, PC also suffers drop outs because most people and (consoles) dont up their sound qaulity and basically the gameing is demanding more DSP the exceeds the standard 44hz 16bit. Your bottle necking your audio.

For PC players reading this if you have a dedicated sound device TURN at least 16bit 48hz if you can get to 96hz even better the goal would be 24bit/96hz, if you want to be a beast you need to get to 24bit/192Khz but unless your willing to dump your sound card for a pro-audio interface and spend lots of $$$$$ just go to the highest setting your current device will alow and your drop outs "should" go away. Notice the should.

Your basically OC'ing your audio chip by asking it to work harder. The result is more audio power and processing avaliable and no more drop outs. For consoles your screwed... Sorry. Also sound qaulity will go up but only with live rendering "Audio Production" but most likely wont be noticed unless you have a trained ear.

Earthquake.

I might be late, but the bike has no lock on sound when lockin with javelin. You can also guess what everyone is doing now, especially on flats where you cant dodge the invisible lock on javelin....

Working as intended. They want players to move onto BF4 soon ™.

Why support a game when you can sell your player base a new one for full RRP.

[DJDUPONT]

Earthquake.

Should just call it Los Angeles or lalalalalalala land.
