DICE пуснаха на свобода големия ъпдейт за BF3 обещан миналата седмица. Реално погледнато има Battlefield 3 client update, сървър ъпдейт и нови функционалности в Battlelog-а. На практика, всичко което трябва да направите е да влезете в battlelog.battlefield.com/bf3 и да си дръпнете новото плъгинче.

Пълния списък на промените е в battlelog.battlefield.com/bf3/forum/, а ето акцентите:

Battlefield 3 client-side update
• General performance and loading time improvements
• „Black Screen“ fix for an issue occurring on some PC configurations
• Stereo and rendering support for Nvidia and AMD graphics cards
• Fixed several crashes that occurred when joining multiplayer and co-op sessions
• Fixed a problem with high speed mouse movement (aka „negative mouse acceleration“)
• You should no longer be able to damage a friendly vehicle when sitting in an open position
• Grenades now drop to ground if you get killed while attempting to throw it (dangerous in Hardcore mode!)
• You should no longer spawn too close to enemies in TDM, SQDM, or Conquest
• A large number of damage and range tweaks on a number of weapons to fine-tune overall balance in the game
• Added round duration and ticket summary at End of Round screen
• Fixed a problem regarding key bindings while playing
• Significant changes to the Join Squad interface

Battlefield 3 PC server-side update
• EOD Bot exploit fix
• Several crash fixes
• Anti-stat padding measures taken, disallowing ranked servers to run obscure settings
• Improved team kill kick configuration
• Support for unranked servers. Unranked servers do not report players’ scores to Battlelog, but server administrators can freely control all settings

Battlelog
• Ability to share your Profile and Stats pages to Facebook, Google+, and Twitter
• User Profile and Stats pages on Battlelog can now be accessed without being signed in to Battlelog if you know a user’s URL
• Single sign on from Battlelog to Origin. If you’re not logged in to Origin and join a game server, Battlelog will automatically sign you in to Origin in the background and join the game server

Squad changes
• Removed FIND ME A SQUAD option
• Allow players to join empty Squads alone, thus having 1/4 squad members
• Change order of options to LEAVE SQUAD, INV A FRIEND, SWITCH TEAM
• Disable Privacy flag when 1 man squad
• Reset Privacy flag from Private to Public when squad drops to 1 player
• All occupied Squads will now show up colored blue on the Squad Selection screen
• Players who choose not to join squads will also show up as Blue in the „Not in a Squad” line
• Squads that are currently empty will display as white – if you wish to join an empty Squad, you can choose the first one marked with white text

За съжаление, обещаната промяна в поведението на фенерчето не се е случила в този пач.
