Hello there,

We’ve got an update for Battlefield V that is currently scheduled to be deployed on March 5th.

The update will begin to roll out at 09:00 UTC on PC, followed up at 10:00 UTC for PlayStation 4 and finishing up with Xbox One at 11:00 UTC.

Key issues for this update include the flickering that would sometimes occur on the Squad Deployment screen. We’ve made some improvements to Shotguns and have fixed the end of round Company Coin counter.

Full release notes will be available later today-

**Estimated File Sizes**

- PC 784MB
- PS4 440MB
- Xbox One 1749MB

Hopefully, there will be tweaks to the netcode with this update, the February patch made my game unplayable (constant 1-2 packet deaths) + enemy feels harder to hit and move like greased lightning. Whatever that update did it made things much much worse for me.

You know the drill… this is what Devs say to try and minimize the damage or problem in general. They all do it.
