Hi folks, This update targets fixes for errant issues identified after the release of Junes mid-month update. This follows the release of a sequence of Hotfixes designed to address stability and performance issues, which continue to be a priority for the team for future updates. In this update we’ve taken positive steps towards removing instances of the ‘Invisible Soldier’. We believe that the extreme instances of this issue have been stamped out, though we’ll be monitoring for any lingering issues. Further improvements have also been made to performance, specifically when tanks are firing at infantry which would previously result in performance spikes. Alongside that, we’ve also reviewed the performance of the P08 Carbine, and made some changes that should improve the effectiveness of the weapon, coupled with a fix that now allows for Specializations to be reset once players have obtained Weapon Rank 4. Additional fixes have been detailed below in full. Our next major update (4.4) is currently scheduled to release at the end of August, and a first look at some of the new content and fixes for on going issues are also listed below. We’ll otherwise have a small update out early next week to enable Marita. Adam Freeman Battlefield Community Manager Twitter: @PartWelsh What’s New? - We have reduced the recoil, and increased the muzzle velocity for the P08 Carbine in a bid to improve its effectiveness - Kills in Firestorm are now awarded if the enemy player disconnects during the downed state What’s Changed? - Fixes targeted at removing extreme instances of Invisible Soldiers - Specializations are now able to be reset on the P08 Carbine - The game will no longer stutter when killing enemies with tanks - Removed an unintended suppression effect that was applying to infantry soldiers when a tank fires it’s main cannon - The screen will no longer turn black when firing stationary cannons - The Arras sights on the Lewis gun now displays correctly when using extended mags - Rate Of Fire for the MKVI Revolver has also been reduced to 180RPM, from 200RPM - The correct crosshair now shows for the Mosquito FB MKVI on all load-outs - The Company will now display the correct amount of bombs for the JU-88 - Players trying to spawn into airplanes should no longer get stuck on the deploy screen What’s being worked on for Update 4.4? - Additional fixes are also targeted to improve performance and stability across all platforms - New Maps: Lofoten Islands and Provence - Increase in Max Rank to 500 - Updates to Fortress Mode - New Weapons - In preparation for subsequent Tides of War Rewards (Panzerbüchse 39, Breda M1935, C96 Pistol Carbine) - Fixes for desynced top-gunner hitbox on certain Vehicles - Fixes for desynced soldier hitbox known to occur when reviving or vaulting \*Our Updates may change as we listen to community feedback and continue developing and evolving our Live Service & Content.

Nice update…when are we able to switch sides and scramble squads after a very unbalanced round??? Make servers with rules and let people admin servers…BF4 and BF3 were gold when it came to multiplayer. ---

> [@msob2nd](#): > > Cool updates are here > But why has hard core not Implement it yet There is no core mode anyway … we need 3D spot to come back and TTK tweak ( the 30Hz console server can’t handle the fast TTK and it is unplayable and unfun since launch … ). Then they could had a real extreme mode. ---

Hey @PartWelsh , I’m not sure if I can speak for everyone here but seeing that this short, underwhelming patch still has not addressed the issue of FPS drop/CPU usage, team balance issues, and your guys’ inability to take care of hackers. Cosmetic releases are cool, but all of the flash doesn’t mean when you can’t even play the game without the stuttering or getting 1-shot across the map by a lewis lmg. These problems have been around since release and I see no point in continuing to play the game with this many issues. I hope you address these issues with your developers before you lose 100% of your playerbase. ---

My game was somewhat playable in between patch 4.2 and the patch before it and now the game is back to being completely unplayable in terms of performance. After this I’m done with this game l. I have zero confidence in you, the devs or the future of this game and this franchise. I’m done ---

With this update, I’m back to getting dropped from the game. That went away a few updates ago, now it’s back. Seems to happen particularly when running forward. I’ve got all the performance stats displayed … cannot spot any unusual issue. Happens on multiple servers. ---

So… none of the new maps that have been delayed 4 times? Wish I was suprised. No wonder BFV’s playerbase is so small. ---

> [@globalchaos\_1984](#): > > So… none of the new maps that have been delayed 4 times? Wish I was suprised. No wonder BFV’s playerbase is so small. Al-Sundan is in the game for over a month, it is “only” missing on Conquest and Breakthrough. It is also the only delayed map at the moment. Marita is still scheduled to release next week before August, technically meeting what the roadmap said. Mercury was even released a day early. ---

No fix for the ADS while healing bug? @PartWelsh Quite game ruinous for me. How many times does it have to be a contributing factor in a death to think I’ve had enough. [Next page](https://battlefieldforum.co/t/battlefield-v-update-4-2/107129.md?page=2)
