As is usual, until _everyone_ has the update, we don’t get the notes… even though some of us are actually playing with those updates live for hours… so it would be really nice to know what they are… ---

“Players will now get kicked for being idle in pre-round for Official servers” why is this a thing? For anyone trying to fill their rented servers this is just foolishness… ---

> [@Bravo-Winter](#): > > “Players will now get kicked for being idle in pre-round for Official servers” why is this a thing? For anyone trying to fill their rented servers this is just foolishness… balance is the obvious answer. but now that I read it again not sure what they mean by pre-round? pre-round timer is 60 seconds, but skips to 5 seconds most of the time in my experience. Maybe they mean any pre-round time will now count towards the kick for being idle timer. ---

It is for the pre-round though - before the actual round has started while the server is filling up for example - 20 people are needed to switch a conquest server from pre-round (no objectives are on the map) to the actual round. ---

Yeah i already changed my post lol as I read it again. Now I’m not sure what this means. The pre-round timer is 60 seconds, but usually skips to 5 seconds most of the time in my experience at least in Conquest so it doesn’t seem like it will do anything there. Maybe they mean any pre-round time will now count towards the “kick if you’re idle for 2 minutes” timer? ---

Yeah but they removed the pilot/tanker weapons from b2b mode!!!..(But b2b isn’t on the weekly rotation anymore so good luck finding servers) ---

A patch with a whole lot of nothing in it. Or well, maybe they’ve done some hidden tweaks to undo the hit registration damage from the earlier patch… ---

They’ve changed the balancer. I was moved twice this afternoon, that’s never happened before. Once was early, once very early. ---

They said June was the end. They gave us a few extra little patches. History shows 1 1/2 years is the end of patching support. ---

Still no fix to the General Liu bolt action mode ADS jitter bug? Cool. Add this awesome feature but make it borderline useless by leaving a bug in a mechanic that literally all guns do i.e. aim down sight. Also, did they fix the vaulting into prone bug? ---

Could this be for those that sit in the spawn screen at the start of the match to get a plane/vehicle? If the kick timer kicks in earlier they can no longer sit and wait at the start of a game for a plane to spawn. If this is the case then anything that discourages users sitting in the spawn screen is a good thing in my opinion. I would even go as far as saying users should only get 20/30 secs to choose a loadout/vehicle between deaths,if you take longer you should be auto spawned back at your home flag,again this would discourage those that sit on the spawn screen for extended periods of time after every death to ensure they can keep farming with planes/vehicles. Players should be playing the game and helping their team not sitting in the spawn screen half the match waiting for their favourite infantry farming vehicle to become available. ---

Anyone experiencing any issues, I played earlier and it felt laggy. Getting stuck on things and reloads seems to need to be pressed twice. Could just have been that on server though. ---

Would be my guess and, if so, is an excellent improvement to help games start even, isn’t it? [Next page](https://battlefieldforum.co/t/patch-v1-26/103451.md?page=2)
