Please note: All game servers will need to be taken down for updates. The maintenance period starts on Friday, October 29th at 06:00 AM GMT. Most of the servers should be back up by 10:00 AM GMT. The patch is roughly 900 MB in size.<\/p>\n

How to get the game client updated<\/b><\/p>\n

* If you are<\/b> using Steam: the Steam client will automatically begin updating your game client once Oct 29th, 6:00 AM (GMT) has passed by.<\/p>\n

* If you are not<\/b> using Steam: then the game\u2019s online updater will find the version online at the same hour and ask you to patch.<\/p>\n

* If you are not<\/b> using Steam: You can get a manual patch from several places…<\/p>\n

Here is the complete fix-list for the patch<\/b><\/p>\n

– All Weapons Bronze Insignia requiring an unobtainable bronze star for the tracer dart \u2013 requirement removed. <\/i><\/p>\n

– Improved Hit registration made through several fixes and some of the hitboxes themselves have been changed. This will increase the accuracy of guns.<\/i><\/p>\n

– Blue box chat window removed<\/i><\/p>\n

– The 2 second immunity when spawning\/being revived will now be immediately removed either by firing, zooming, or any movement (move, crouch, jump). A Spawning Player can still orient passively in the Game World.. <\/i><\/p>\n

– 3D vision fixed. <\/i><\/p>\n

– Fixed slug shotgun zoom crosshair on PC so they better represent the long range accuracy. Crosshairs now close more on PC, similar to consoles.<\/i><\/p>\n

– Reduced slug shotgun hip accuracy to require zooming for consistent long range accuracy. Hip accuracy is now on par with the semi automatic weapons.<\/i><\/p>\n

– Fixed a bug on PC where the G3 would do less damage than intended.<\/i><\/p>\n

– Fixed VADS turning sensitivity on PC so it performs like the ZU23.<\/i><\/p>\n

– Reduced VADS push back and damage to balance it with the ZU23.<\/i><\/p>\n

– Fixed a bug where vehicle countermeasures would fail to remove tracer darts at high speed.<\/i><\/p>\n

– Reduced the reload time for vehicle countermeasures.<\/i><\/p>\n

– Slightly increased the AT4’s damage vs armor to emphasize its anti vehicle role while keeping it balanced vs armor.<\/i><\/p>\n

– Increased the AT4\u2019s top speed and acceleration so users spend less time exposed when firing.<\/i><\/p>\n

– Increased the AT4’s splash damage so it competes with other AT weapons vs infantry. The AT4 still has the least splash damage of all AT weapons.<\/i><\/p>\n

– Reduced the splash damage of the Carl Gustav to bring it in line with other explosive weapons. The Carl Gustav still has the most splash damage of all AT weapons.<\/i><\/p>\n

– Increased the 1 shot kill range of the M95 body shot to counter its lower rate of fire.<\/i><\/p>\n

– Fixed a bug with the SVU that gave it better close range damage than other semi auto weapons.<\/i><\/p>\n

– Reduced all weapon damage to the MCOM by 50%.<\/i><\/p>\n

– Fixed an C4 vs MCOM exploit on Atacama Desert.<\/i><\/p>\n

– Fixed a bug with FOV when aiming the M1911.<\/i><\/p>\n

– Lowered the close range damage of the AN94 to highlight its long range role.<\/i><\/p>\n

– Increased the accuracy of the F2000 on the move to highlight its role as a mobile AR.<\/i><\/p>\n

– Increased the close range damage of the shotguns to give them a greater advantage vs slugs.<\/i><\/p>\n

– Slightly lowered the damage of the M60 to balance its accuracy advantage vs other LMG’s.<\/i><\/p>\n

– Slightly lowered the damage of the MG3 at close range to balance it with other high rate of fire weapons.<\/i><\/p>\n

– Slightly increased the damage of the UH60.<\/i><\/p>\n

<\/em><\/p>\n

Overall, the change log documents a few well-needed adjustments and the gameplay aspects should be even smoother now. I can\u2019t wait to jump on and start fragging! See you on the battlefield!<\/p>\n
