Battlefield 1: Ausblick auf das November-Update – Nivelle Nights wird Basis-Map

Vorläufiges Changelog Battlefield 1 November Update vom 24.10.2017

Today we invite you to test out the latest Battlefield 1 patch with us, as we verify that the performance is still looking good on both the game client and our server software.

Please note that this is not the final version, and we are still working on a few issues such as the Icon Transparency issue. We are hoping that we will be able to resolve it in time for the final release of this patch.

Here is a preview of some of the changes that will be available in the CTE session tonight:

• Added the Mosin-Nagant M91 as the standard issue rifle for the Russian and Bolshevik factions in Custom Games.

• Fixed issue with supply drops landing on Galicia bridge negatively affecting players.

• Removed flamethrower kit from Argonne Forest in the TDM game mode. • Fixed not being able to exit FK 96 if the exit is blocked.

• Suez Frontlines - Tweaked the capture areas, moved the B and D flags to better locations.
