Is it only me or an unexpected update came to battlefield 1? Size is 1.2GB. Server disconnected suddenly and tried to launch again, now it shows update. What’s new in this update? ---

Only thing I know that’s in it is full fledged Canadian and Japanese dlc with massive maps; tons of weapons and complete reworks of almost the entire game apparantly they’ve fixed talking in a xbox live party making your game stutter (which is still weird espeically considering you wouldn’t get the stutter if you were in a party but used game chat -.-) ---
