Stability patch released for Battlefield 4 on Xbox One

If you’ve been having troubles with Battlefield 4, just remember, things could be worse. That could be YOUR condo.

The delayed patch for the Xbox One version of Battlefield 4 is starting to roll out today, bringing with it fixes for some common in-game issues and increased stability to the game.

The Xbox One game update was initially set for a Dec. 2 release, but was put off to roll more fixes into the patch, according to an update on Battlelog.

Electronic Arts haven’t released all of the details for this patch yet, but say it focused on stability "some of the feedback we’ve seen from the community," fixing the one-hit kill bug and the Commander EMP blur effect.

Here’s a complete break down of what the patch fixes:

-Fixed three common crashes that could occur during map transitions 
-Fixed a common crash that could occur when using the in-game Battlelog in the "end of round" screen 
-Fixed two crashes related to destroying vehicles 
-Fixed a crash that could occur when the player lost connection to a server 
-Fixed a crash that could occur when using the scoreboard 
-Fixed a crash that could occur when players were using the voice chat 
-Optimized performance when shooting destroyed Levolution objects on some levels 
-Removed the blur effect on soldiers that appeared when Commanders were using EMP attacks 
-Fixed the "one-hit kill" bug where damage from a single bullet sometimes was applied multiple times. This could lead to firefights where normal rifles sometimes dealt one-shot kills, which is not as designed 
-Fixed a memory leak that could lead to crashes at certain points 
-Further reduced the probability of getting a corrupt save file in the single player campaign 
-Fixed the audio drop outs that could occur when playing on large maps. Typical map affected was Golmud Railway in Conquest with 64 players. Ambient sound would sometimes cut out, like foley sounds from player running, vehicle engine sounds, vehicle movement sounds, and map ambient sounds 
-Fixed an issue with going online after resuming your Xbox One from suspended mode 
-Fixed some issues with the handling of Xbox One parties 
-Made the icons used to signal voice chat status more reliable

Since its launch on next-gen consoles, Battlefield 4 users have reported crashes on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. Last week, the China Rising expansion launched, but players reported being dropped, booted and unable to connect to servers.

EA officials said last week that they were putting all future expansions on hold until they could resolve the current issues plaguing the game.
